OpenAI’s hottest app isn’t ChatGPT—it’s Codex. In the last few weeks alone, the Codex team shipped a desktop app, GPT-5.3 Codex (a new flagship model), and Spark, the fastest coding model I’ve ever used. Usage has grown fivefold since January, and over a million people now u...

A database left accessible to anyone online contained billions of records, including sensitive personal data that criminals appear to have not yet exploited.

Gather 'round, friends, for it is time to play my favorite newly invented game of the Winter Olympics. The game is called "Are The Fellas In Sync," and the way you play this game is by scrolling through Getty Images photos from Team Pursuit Speedskating and asking yourself a simple question: Are these three fellas (gender-neutral) before me truly, honestly, and existentially in sync? We'll start off with an easy round.

How to raise children. “It’s wild to me that we parent our children to fit into society, then get together with our friends and talk about how broken society is.”

I have to begin by warning you about the content in this piece; while I won’t be dwelling on any specifics, this will necessarily be a broad discussion about some of the most disturbing topics imaginable. I resent that I have to give you that warning, but I’m forced to becau...

By the end of a cross-country skiing team sprint competition, the athletes are on the brink of collapse. The best teams complete their six-mile sprint in about twenty minutes. Their legs burn, and their lungs are exhausted. With the finish line in sight, almost out of breath, you can imagine how strange it would feel to see suddenly in front of you what looks like a big beautiful wolf.

"I was like, 'Am I hallucinating?" Tena Hadzic, a 21-year-old Croatian skier told NPR. There on the course was a real, live, beautiful wolfdog. He appeared on the final stretch of the qualifying event Wednesday morning and raced along, pursuing the sliding track camera like a superstar before turning to follow a couple of athletes across the finish line. Look at him:

Brent Simmons wrote on his linkblog about Terry Godier’s new RSS reader, Current:

Because RSS is an open protocol, and because there are so many different possible ways to follow and read the news, RSS readers ought to be a UI playground in the way Twitter clients once were, where innovation and experimentation are normal and celebrated.

As small developers, even when we compete in the same space, we link to each other. We share something positive or unique about what the other person is working on. I exchanged a few emails with Terry leading up to Current’s release and I feel really good about what he’s bringing to RSS, even though I’m releasing my own feed reader soon too!

Current has now cracked the top 10 paid apps in the App Store. Incredible. $10 up-front pricing is such a throwback to the old App Store and I love it.
