The other day this political commentator said on a podcast that he visited San Francisco and it was awful. He stayed in a hotel in Mid-Market and recounted how he then decided to walk with a friend of his from there to Zuni, which is the other side of mid-market. That's roughly a twenty minute walk.

Admittedly a US thing, but I think folks should reflect that Kimi, the open-weight AI model by $20b-valued Moonshot AI everyone is freaking out about, was developed by someone who went to CMU and then didn't stay in the US mostly because visas would prevent him setting up a US business

San Francisco shattered its all-time March temperature record on Friday when the downtown weather station hit 90 degrees just before 4 p.m. It is the first-ever 90-degree reading in March, surpassing the previous record of 87 degrees set in 2005.

Met Brian when we were in student government together in 6th grade. He was already a smart and witty guy and incredibly creative. We hung out in the same circles through college and crossed paths a few more times in life through mutual friends. He will be missed.
We are sad to report that Senior Editor Brian Doherty, author of "Radicals for Capitalism" and 5 other books, has died. He had an inspiring commitment to covering the ways free people live their lives, and he will be missed. A full obit will appear soon at reason.com.

Friday marks the 10-year anniversary of Stephen Curry’s iconic three that lifted the Golden State Warriors to an OT win in Oklahoma City. The shot was perfect, and so was Mike Breen’s call.
