  @ThrillaRilla369 It began with Covid and the way the State of California shut everything down. I don't think they recovered from that. We also had a supply chain issue and it led people to order from Amazon and not box stores.

  earlier this year, i backed a team with a big platform vision for a market and user behavior that doesn't exist yet. to figure out where to start, they mapped every constraint holding the market back and ran a bunch of experiments. they landed on one high-friction bottleneck involving 6+ intermediaries. they're now attacking the problem from a direction that feels so far removed from the original thesis it could be a different company. but zoom out far enough and you can see how one domino sets off a multi-chain reaction. a couple years ago i'd have called this unfocused or overbuilt. now i think the market is going to reward founders who can operate inside massively complex systems and still produce something that feels simple and delightful to the end customer. this isn't new. amazon built aws to solve its own infrastructure problem. spacex built starlink to fund mars. it just used to take that kind of scale and capital to hold that much complexity and still ship something usable. now a team of ten can. the next generation of great startups may look like rube goldberg machines on the inside, and feel effortless to end users outside.

  @pequityresearch It is a diverse field, with different business models. To stay with the mainstream names, Coreweave and Nebius are more like "neoscalers," they buy and own the GPUs as well as the infra, baby hyperscalers so to speak. Nebius seems to be doing especially well as AI factory. Names like WULF are AI landlords. They do not own the GPUs. This is the job of AI factories (like Hydra Host, hyperscalers, etc.) WULF is a landlord for AI factories. They have the building, cooling, land and, most importantly, power. There is a spectrum, some companies do both, but that's generally teh distinction. If AI does not expand at the expected pace, everybody fails. If demand meets projections, but other ASICs take considerable market share (e.g. Jalapeño, AMD, etc.), then neoscalers may be in trouble because of chip depreciation, but landlords would do well--winner agnostic. If we assume that AI is here to stay, demand is what it is, then we can agree that at some point, compute will solve physical contraints (esp. power), at whihc point landlords will crater. But neoscalers can survive and thrive if their AI factories succeed since they would provide added value in the AI supply chain, but they would compete with Google, Amazon, and others.

  @Beansthemoocow Yeah. Ps4 for sure got it. Found it on Amazon. They overhauled the nano abilities to correlate with modern controls which is nice but the aiming still feels like it was made with pc in mind before being ported. I also noticed weird culling issues with certain objects.

  UK regulators now oversee AWS, Microsoft, Google Cloud and Oracle directly — not the banks that rent them. The cloud layer just entered the financial perimeter. On July 13, 2026, the Bank of England, the PRA, and the FCA began directly overseeing Microsoft, AWS, Google Cloud, and Oracle as "Critical Third Parties" to the UK financial system. This is the first real-world use of powers Parliament created back in 2023 — they sat unused on the books for three years until now. The reasoning is straightforward: a 2024 survey found Microsoft, Google, and Amazon controlled 73% of UK financial-sector cloud services combined. If AWS goes down for a day, it's not just Amazon's problem anymore — it can threaten confidence in the entire UK financial system. Regulators decided that concentration risk needed direct supervision, not just oversight through each individual bank's own vendor contracts. What this actually gives regulators: the power to gather information directly from these providers, assess their operational resilience, run testing requirements, and — this is the sharp edge — enforce "structural rectifications" if something's wrong. Not through the bank that hired AWS. Directly at AWS. Worth being precise about the limits here, because it's easy to overstate this. It's not bank-style regulation — these companies aren't being licensed or capitalized like a financial institution. The oversight only covers the systemic services these providers sell to UK financial firms specifically. AWS hosting a random retail company, or Google Cloud running an AI training job, falls completely outside this regime. There's also no cap on how many companies get this designation. Treasury has explicitly said more will follow as dependency patterns shift — meaning any cloud or SaaS provider serving finance today shouldn't assume it stays outside this regime for long. This is the exact opposite of a hyped headline. It's dense, it's regulatory, and it's already live. But it marks the first time infrastructure sitting one layer removed from finance — the cloud itself — has been pulled directly into the perimeter of financial regulation, instead of being treated as someone else's vendor risk.

  In the first part of this mother-in-law series, I had written about how, after one quiet peg of Old Monk, Satan danced in my mind and I decided to play a prank on my mother-in-law by telling her that I was no longer in love my wife, and that I was planning to convert to Islam so that I could marry another woman who would listen to me. The prank was supposed to last five minutes. Unfortunately, like most things I start with confidence, I forgot to finish it. So while I went back to my laptop and started watching The Intern, my mother-in-law stayed awake the whole night thinking her daughter’s marriage was collapsing, her son-in-law was converting, and one more woman was about to enter the house. If you have not read that first part, you can visit my profile and read it. It will help you understand two things – that unlike my wife, her mother is a good woman, and that when I have had a peg of Old Monk, I am Satan. Anyway, that was not the only time I put her in trouble. I once put her in the dock while in Gurgaon. Back then, every year Rekha would take both our kids and go on what I call her South India tour. For one month during the summer vacation, she would visit relatives and friends in multiple cities, with the kids in tow. And during that one month, Rekha’s mother and I would be home alone in Gurgaon. Now, even an arts student can tell you that usually there is no chemistry between a son-in-law and a mother-in-law. But for some reason, we would get along well. Maybe because we had a common enemy – Rekha. If you think a daughter and her mother can’t be arch enemies you haven’t seen a daughter and a mother argue. We both had our routines…for me work was worship, and for her worship was work. Needless to say, my mother-in-law is dutifully religious. So much so that she thinks that it is because of her prayers that my son passes in maths, my company manages to breakeven, and Rekha looks good in sarees. Despite our busy schedules one weekend both of us were getting bored. So I asked her, “Would you like to join me at a drinking place?” She looked at me and said, “As long as you get me back alive.” That was all the permission I needed from a sixty-seven-year-old woman. Today she is seventy-four, but back then she was sixty-seven and clearly still open to painting the town red. So we got ready and went to Open Tap, a brewery on Sohna Road in Gurgaon. I ordered myself a glass of wheat beer, some potato wedges, and chicken popcorn. Then I asked her, “Do you want to try the beer?” She looked at me with pride and said, “Nobody in Cherukunnu could drink like my husband. Do you think I will shy away?” Cherukunnu is a small town about half hour from Kannur in Kerala and that’s where Rekha’s family is from. If my mother-in-law’s boast doesn’t impress you, you must know that in Kerala, out of ten people, eleven of them drink alcohol. That’s right, my mother-in-law has a good sense of humour when she is in a good mood. But when she is not in a good mood, Rekha looks like a movie trailer. I placed the massive glass of wheat beer in front of her. She immediately lifted it, took a sip, let out a huge after-drink sigh and then licked her lips. We Rajans could very well have been the guys who invented documentation. Because we love to document everything that’s happening in our lives…and this article is an ideal example. So, I did what any smart Rajan would do when an event as big as ‘a mother-in-law and son-in-law sharing a beer’ was happening – I snapped a photo. She warned me, “Don’t send this to anyone. This world is not ready for a sixty-seven-year-old woman drinking beer in a pub.” But you know us Rajans…we dabble in risk. What rusk is to milk, risk is to us. So I sent the photo of my mother-in-law sipping on a massive glass of beer to the WhatsApp family group. Now, this was not my Madurai-side of family WhatsApp group where she has a guest role. I sent it to Rekha’s family WhatsApp group where she is the protagonist. And as luck would have it, that day her brothers - and she has many - were leaving for Sabarimala temple. For those who don’t know, Sabarimala is an Ayyappa temple, and before going there, devotees observe a strict 41-day fasting (vratham in Tamil). They don’t have alcohol, they skip non-vegetarian good, they maintain celibacy, indulgence is strictly prohibited, and to top all of that there are the cold-water baths every day in the morning, prayers all through the day and austerity as well. And at exactly that pious moment, their sister’s photo appeared in the family group, sitting in Open Tap, sipping the beer. That was the first time I truly understood what people mean by “putting someone on the spot.” If silence in a WhatsApp group could hurt, I would have been hospitalised that day. Not one person liked or commented on my mother-in-law’s photo. It is also possible that they were all in the puja that’s done before her brothers boarded the van to head towards Sabarimala. We won’t know. Yet again, I got scolded by both Rekha and her mother. But we Rajans are resilient….we are cockroaches. We may not float a party, but if we are ever shipwrecked, we would float in the tumultuous sea till help comes. I am sure during the next few days Rekha’s mother would have wondered if marriage had a return policy like Amazon….so she could send me back and get a new bridegroom for her daughter. But who cares about what the mother thinks when you have her daughter in your pocket. ----X----X---- Before we get to my mother-in-law’s next story, let’s spend some time on my father in law …Mr KP Chandrasekharan Nair. He was honest, hardworking and loved his smokes and drinks – just the kind of father-in-law I prayed for whenever I visited temples. Why you laughing? If women can pray for a good husband, what’s wrong in a man seeking a good father-in-law? In the initial days of my marriage when we would be visiting Rekha’s home in Cherukunnu, I have even stolen his smokes. That’s how close we were. Or maybe we were close because he never found out how his cigarettes were vanishing. But in 2010 he was diagnosed with oesophagus cancer. Back in those days, he was a regular at Artemis Hospital in Gurgaon – for his chemotherapy etc. Very often he would get overnight admission as well. Since the hospital was in between our home and office, whenever he was admitted, I would visit him before going to work. What I am going to tell you happened on one of the last times he was admitted…before he was brought to the same hospital in a condition he won’t be recovering from. I don’t know why, but I remember that that day I was in formals and when I entered his room sometime after 8 am, he said, “Ah, nice shirt.” He is not the kind to compliment you on trivial matters…because his standards were very high. I said thank you and sat next to him. He was still in his bed and having his breakfast. He was struggling to swallow…and we both looked at each other, and knew that the situation wasn’t getting any better. To break the awkward silence I asked, “So what did the doctor say when he came over last evening?” My father-in-law was the most blunt man I have ever met. He said, “he said what I wanted to hear,” and then laughed. As much as a tired cancer-ridden body would allow. I didn’t respond. Sometimes, the best reply is not saying anything. And knowing how strong my father-in-law was, it seemed futile to give him false hopes. So I offered him the next best thing. I don’t know why I said it…but at that moment I felt that instead of false hopes he would have wanted to know that his wife would be in good hands after he was no more. I extended my hand and said, “But don’t worry…I will take care of your wife. Promise.” It sounds very dramatic now. But back then it was just two men, making a deal. He extended his hand, and held mine. I choked, while tears rolled down his cheeks. That was the second time I was seeing him in tears. First was while we were standing in front of the deity Annapoorneshwari, at the Annapoorneshwari temple in Cherruknnu, Kannur….and he held Rekha’s hand and gave it in mine. The moment lasted just a few seconds, after which we pulled our hands apart. I sat there silently for a few minutes…and after that bade him farewell. That evening I saw him at home…because Rekha had brought him home again. But we never spoke about the ‘gentleman’s agreement’ again. I am sure he didn’t tell his wife…and I didn’t tell mine. After he passed away in 2011, I did mention about my gentleman’s agreement with her dad to Rekha. She said, “You did the right thing. I am sure he would have been worried about her.” My father-in-law would be slightly pissed if he ever read what I am going to write next about my mother-in-law. But since he is no more, we both don’t have to worry. My mother-in-law is like Poo in Kung Fu Panda…loveable, but dangerous. When they are 65 plus many people get busy with bhajans, temple visits, and hospital’s OPD ward…but not my mother-in-law. She is different. For instance, around two years back she fell in love with Shah Rukh Khan. Every evening, around 6 or 6:30, when Rekha, Rhea and I would go for a walk, she would ask us to play a Shah Rukh Khan movie for her before leaving. We would search on Prime Video, Netflix, Hotstar, YouTube, wherever available, and play one. This went on for more than three months, and she ended up seeing almost all of his movies. She watched SRK smiling, crying, running, spreading his arms, loving women, loving mothers, and then in the ****** hating the villains and kicking the **** out of them. And slowly, she started falling for him – one movie at a time. Like any teenager she didn’t tell us…we found out accidentally. Every day, around 6 a.m. she lights the lamp and then till 6:30 a.m., she reads the Gita. One morning, I was working from the dining table, from where I can see inside her room. Since I was not able to concentrate on work, I walked up to her and said, “Reading Gita…nice.” She replied in her characteristic style, “Yes, but I am not able to focus.” I was surprised. “Why?” I asked. She said, “When I open the page, all I can see is Shah Rukh in a black suit running….” I was stunned. “What?” I asked. I thought I had heard it wrong. She looked at me as if I was the foolish one and said, “Arre, I saw that movie yesterday …Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. That’s why. Nothing else.” Nothing else? A seventy-plus woman was reading the Gita, but Shah Rukh Khan in a black suit was blocking her spiritual concentration, and she said “nothing else” as if this is a normal. That is my mother-in-law. How can one not like her? ----X----X---- She has been alternating her time with us and Rekha’s elder sister ever since my father-in-law passed away due to cancer around 15 years back. Now, it has been three months since she left Chennai and started staying in Kochi, Kerala with Rekha’s elder sister Rema and her husband Sudhir. I miss her sometimes. I miss making dosas for her because she loved the dosas I made. But I also love the fact that I now have her room. This is the problem with love….it is never pure. There are always riders attached. But then human beings are complicated, and among them sons-in-law are the worst. I think every mother-in-law and son-in-law relationship has a strange beauty. It is not like mother and son, definitely not like father and son, but is it is like friendship, that develops because of a common friend. It’s like one friend introducing you to a third friend, “Listen, we both are close…will be nice if you both can also hit it out. We three can then hang out together!” And we did hit it out. After all, my mother-in-law loves Rekha as the child she raised, while I love Rekha as the woman I married. Effectively, we are on the same team.

  Ed Zitron just said something Wall Street never wanted public: OpenAI misses the IPO — Your 401(k) pays the bill OpenAI doesn’t go public. It runs out of cash. They need $100 billion a year just to survive. They’ve delayed the IPO. They have $1.1 trillion in cloud commitments. SoftBank is sitting on ~$100 billion of paper OpenAI stock it can’t sell. Oracle is building $400B+ of data centers for one customer. Amazon, Google, and Microsoft all booked future growth off the same two unprofitable labs. When OpenAI can’t raise again, they don’t “slow down.” They force every Magnificent 7 company to restate the story. Nvidia revenue could drop 50–70%. Half of last year’s VC went into AI. Most of those startups go to zero. This isn’t a dip. It’s a tech depression. And the people who get wrecked first aren’t Sam Altman. It’s Jenny and Dave’s retirement.
