oh man.. I'll lose my bet if Apple raises prices of a current product on an identical SKU.. I know we were expecting price increases on the MacBook Ultra which Apple does with redesigns, but I was hoping the Mac mini and Mac Studio would stay the same $$$ at the same storage.

Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Frames the idea around what the reader stands to lose, which is more motivating than gain.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal
Mechanisms: Loss aversion
Written for: Product teams

I am excited to welcome Linda Yaccarino as the new CEO of Twitter! @LindaYacc will focus primarily on business operations, while I focus on product design & new technology. Looking forward to working with Linda to transform this platform into X, the everything app.

Amazon is testing a new “AI English Dub” feature for anime and it’s genuinely fucking putrid and insanely disrespectful to actual human actors who put their life and soul into both the Dubs and Subs of these shows Fuck you @PrimeVideo @amazon

One reason vibe coding is so addictive is that you are always *almost* there but not 100% there. The agent implements an amazing feature and got maybe 10% of the thing wrong, and you are like "hey I can fix this if i just prompt it for 5 more mins" And that was 5 hrs ago

o3 and o4-mini are super good at coding, so we are releasing a new product, Codex CLI, to make them easier to use. this is a coding agent that runs on your computer. it is fully open source and available today; we expect it to rapidly improve.

Fable 5.1 is our best model yet for coding, data analysis, computer use, design, presentations, Tag, and the hardest long-running agentic work. This model is a pleasure to work with, and I've been using it for everything.

hey i'm really sorry to keep hyping our own product but you really should get chatgpt plus and install the chrome extension for search i am cheerfully the first to admit when we ship something that isn't very good, but this time it's...really good

Holy crap. Well I was way WRONG! Did not expect price increases so vast. 40-core M5 Max MacBook Pro is now $500 more expensive at $4,999. The base M5 14” MBP going up to $1999 is the biggest shock. Used to be able to get the M5 Pro for that much.

Great news! Apple is now being honest about Mac mini and Mac Studio availability. It now tells you the truth that these custom configuration Macs are unavailable instead of giving you false 4-Month shipping dates. The truth is that the M5 series models are coming SOON!

Awesome! Looks like the UI will react differently based on if you touch the display and have larger buttons and icons. Really cool scoop! Also cool that the Dynamic Island will be smaller than current iPhones, basically adopting the new small version coming to 18 Pro models.

Pay him whatever he wants. Double his salary. Triple it. If he leaves, it's over. There will be an exodus from the chip engineer team as well as other teams. The floodgates will open. Just like when Elon Musk fired 80% of Twitter staff and started a lean, tech layoff trend.

This is why you upgrade whenever there's a new redesign lol. I'm still on my M1 Max 16" MacBook Pro and it's still fast enough for what I do on it. The OLED MacBook Pro will be another one of those models that EVERYONE should be upgrading to.

Holy smokes!! $999 for a brand new M4 Air?! How the heck do Windows laptops compete with this value?! Seriously did not expect this at all. And with 16GB RAM. Apple making up for the new iPhone 16E
