Mechazilla catches Starship! Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on this incredible achievement!
Flight 15's ship flew 14 laps of Earth and landed in the tower's arms, a first that brings a fully reusable Starship within reach.

One of the coolest things I've ever seen!! Loved the thunderclap as the starship dropped out of the heavens, before the catch. True alien tech. Huge congrats @elonmusk and the @SpaceX team! the whole stack is now proven out. Ad Astra! 🚀
Google DeepMind's CEO, who runs a rival AI lab to Musk's, says the catch proves out the whole Starship stack, booster and ship.

JUST IN: A mystery trader has made nearly $200 million betting against Nvidia, $NVDA, weeks before Jensen Huang resigned as CEO, per the FT. Here's how the trade worked: The trader bought 180,000 put options at a $150 strike and sold 280,000 puts at a $100 strike. In simple terms, it was a bet that Nvidia would fall hard. It cost about $8 million to put on. It's now worth around $196 million. That's about 24x their money. Nobody knows who it is yet.
The FT found a bet on Nvidia falling placed weeks before Jensen Huang's exit; who placed it is still unknown.

Alphabet, $GOOGL, is now burning cash. Its quarterly free cash flow has turned negative for the first time in the 20 years shown on this WSJ chart, falling to about -$6 billion and then about -$9 billion in the last two quarters. As recently as early 2026, it was generating roughly $25 billion a quarter.
Google's parent was one of tech's biggest cash machines; its AI data center spending now outpaces what its businesses bring in.

According to WSJ, Jensen’s mistress Alice Huang had arranged to send $12b worth of “top-of-the-line” chips to China (hundreds of thousands of chips) in what would have been a certain criminal violation of US law - in one year alone! Whether or not she was an MSS agent is the least important question here. The key question is - how much did Jensen or others at Nvidia know about this and help facilitate this illegal smuggling? And what did BIS/Commerce department know about this and when did they know it?
The CrowdStrike co-founder reads the WSJ's report on $12 billion of chips steered to China and asks what Nvidia and Commerce knew.

Maybe to summarize the basic argument of this essay a different way: Current AIs are spiky and jagged - worse than humans in most domain, but often as good, or better, in ones with verifiable proxies (for example, math). One such verifiable domain (I argue) is AI research. And while the first AIs that dramatically accelerate AI progress will be quite narrow (i.e. probably not able to automate most jobs), the consequences of that accelerated progress will be very general. And that's because better learning algorithms are very general. For example, GPT-6 (while still being jagged) is just way, way better than GPT-3 at practically everything. I'm arguing that we're only a couple years away (and possibly only a couple months away) from a process by which (initially) narrow AIs concentrate a jump as big as the one from GPT-3 to GPT-6 into a single year. And if you got another jump that big, but starting from the base of GPT-7, I think you would end up with AIs that would rapidly become better than the best humans in every field.
Dwarkesh Patel's new essay argues AI research, like math, has checkable answers, so it may be the first field AI speeds up on its own.

“Grand Theft Auto VI” has passed $1 billion in sales a week before its release, according to estimates from analytics firm Sensor Tower. The game has sold about 10.3 million copies in pre-orders, up from $751 million in revenue just a week ago. PlayStation 5 accounts for roughly 75% of sales, and Xbox about 25%. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said pre-orders were “far in excess” of the company’s expectations. The game launches Nov. 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
The first new Grand Theft Auto since 2013 is already a billion-dollar launch for Take-Two before it reaches stores on November 19.

CHINA FOUND A BACKDOOR TO US AI CHIPS Massive data centers in Southeast Asia have reportedly been giving Chinese companies the computing power the US tried to BLOCK, per the WSJ. One Malaysian company allegedly received more than 200 shipments of restricted Nvidia technology in a single year. Singapore and Malaysia are now investigating.

How Code Mode is implemented in Claude Code - they use node:vm running in process in Bun Codex does their code mode in v8, OpenCode does theirs in a custom interpreter, Pi uses quickjs Interesting how much variance there is in the implementations
Claude Code's new Code Mode lets Claude batch its tool calls in JavaScript; builders compare how each coding agent runs that code.

A federal court in California found that the plaintiffs’ allegations plausibly suggest Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron agreed to restrict DRAM supply. The court denied the three companies’ motion to dismiss, allowing the antitrust lawsuit to proceed.
The ruling lets buyers pursue claims that the three makers behind nearly all the world's DRAM held back output to lift memory prices.
