Ferrari

Ferrari is the pinnacle of luxury scarcity — across its entire 79-year history, the company has sold just 330,000 cars at an average price today of $500,000. For context, Hermès sells that many Birkins and Kellys roughly every 2 years, and Rolex moves that many watches every 3 months. And yet this ultimate luxury product also lives under the same roof with a widely beloved professional sports team… one with 400 million rabid fans from all walks of life who live and die by the Scuderia’s performance every F1 race weekend! How is it possible that these two seemingly contradictory customer bases can coexist within the same company? And far from destroying each other’s value, only reinforce it? The answer, it turns out, is a beautiful, bloody, tragic and romantic opera that spans two families and three generations — and just might be one of the best tales we’ve ever told on Acquired. Buckle up for the story of Ferrari. Sponsors: Many thanks to our fantastic Spring '26 Season partners: J.P.

Snapchat CEO: Why distribution has become the most important moat | Evan Spiegel

Evan Spiegel, the co-founder and CEO of Snap, is one of the very few people in the world who has successfully built and scaled a lasting consumer social product. Snapchat has nearly 1 billion MAUs, and Evan and his team invented some of the most important consumer products and features, including Stories, AR glasses, swipe-based navigation, the camera as the primary UX, and a lot more. In our in-depth conversation, we discuss: 1. Why distribution is now the biggest challenge for creating a consumer technology business 2. How Snap innovates at scale with a 9-to-12-person design team: no titles, no hierarchy, hundreds of ideas reviewed weekly with the CEO 3. Why a pure software business is no longer a moat, and what actually creates durable competitive advantages today 4. How AI is changing the way designers work and why they’re now shipping code 5. Why every major Snap feature was copied and how that forced the company to work differently 6. Evan’s prediction that humanity’s comfort with AI will be a bigger bottleneck than the technology itself 7.

Why is everything a conspiracy?

What's the playbook that gets real‑world breaking news moments to become instant conspiracy theories? After an attempted attack at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, clips and early reports were quickly represented as “staged” narratives online. We dig into why big, chaotic events are now prime fuel for conspiracy thinking, how the state does little to suppress it and what this does to trust when the public feels exhausted by the constant churn of misinformation. Next, Meta’s next training data source: its own employees. Reports say Meta is rolling out tracking software on US staff computers to capture mouse movements, clicks and keystrokes — and even occasional screen snapshots — to help train AI agents that can perform work tasks. Meta says the data won’t be used for performance assessment, but it raises a bigger question: when “how you work” becomes training data, who is watching, and what will happen to your job when the training is complete? And finally: the age of “too perfect” writing. A new Chrome plug‑in called Sinceerly rewrites your polished emails to add typos and casual imperfections - because looking human is suddenly a status symbol. We talk about the cultural whiplash of AI in everyday communication, and what happens when authenticity becomes something you have to prove. The Interface is your weekly guide to the tech rewiring your week and our world. Hosted by journalists Thomas Germain, Karen Hao, and Nicky Woolf, each episode unpacks, week by week, the unfolding story of how technology is shaping all of our futures. No guests. No jargon. Just three sharp voices debating the tech stories that matter — whether they shook a government, broke the internet, or quietly tipped the balance of power. New episodes drop every Thursday on BBC Sounds in the UK. Outside the UK, find us on BBC.com or wherever you get your podcasts, or watch the video version on YouTube (search “The Interface podcast”).

Ep(323) 데이터 분석의 목적이 팩트 폭격이 되어서는 안 된다!

데이터 분석은 숫자를 다루는 일이지만, 그 결과는 결국 사람에게 전달됩니다. 분석가가 "이것은 팩트이니 받아들여라"하고 강요하는 순간, 데이터는 누군가에게 상처를 주는 흉기가 될 수도 있습니다. 앤틀러 나영준 대표는 '날카롭지만 찌르지 않는 분석'의 중요성을 강조합니다. 데이터와 사람 사이에 어떤 태도가 필요할까요? 앤틀러의 나영준 대표님을 모시고 이야기 나누었습니다. ■ 유튜브에서 보기 https://youtu.be/3tP6qBDOCfc ──────────────────────── ● 유튜브 | https://www.youtube.com/dataholic4 ● 팟빵 팟캐스트 | http://bit.ly/dataholic ● 애플 팟캐스트 | https://apple.co/2M3yFyc ● 페이스북 | https://www.fb.com/dataholic4

Reiner Pope – The math behind how LLMs are trained and served

Did a very different format with Reiner Pope - a blackboard lecture where he walks through how frontier LLMs are trained and served. It’s shocking how much you can deduce about what the labs are doing from a handful of equations, public API prices, and some chalk. It’s a bit technical, but I encourage you to hang in there – it’s really worth it. There are less than a handful of people who understand the full stack of AI, from chip design to model architecture, as well as Reiner. It was a real delight to learn from him. Recommend watching this one on YouTube so you can see the chalkboard. Reiner is CEO of MatX, a new chip startup (full disclosure - I’m an angel investor). He was previously at Google, where he worked on software efficiency, compilers, and TPU architecture. Download markdown of transcript here to chat with an LLM. Wrote up some flashcards and practice problems to help myself retain what Reiner taught. Hope it's helpful to you too! Sponsors * Jane Street needs constant access to incredibly low-latency compute. I recently asked one of their engineers, Clark, to talk me through how they meet these demands. Our conversation—which touched on everything from FPGAs to liquid cooling—was extremely helpful as I prepped to interview Reiner. You can watch the full discussion and explore Jane Street’s open roles at janestreet.com/dwarkesh * Google’s Gemma 4 is the first open model that’s let me shut off the internet and create a fully disconnected “focus machine”. This is because Gemma is small enough to run on my laptop, but powerful enough to actually be useful. So, to prep for this interview, I downloaded Reiner’s scaling book, disconnected from wifi, and used Gemma to help me break down the material. Check it out at goo.gle/Gemma4 * Cursor helped me turn some notes I took on how gradients flow during large-scale pretraining into a great animation. At first, I wasn’t sure the best way to visualize the concept, but Cursor’s Composer 2 Fast model let me iterate on different ideas almost instantaneously. You can check out the animation in my recent blog post. And if you have something to visualize yourself, go to cursor.com/dwarkesh Timestamps (00:00:00) – How batch size affects token cost and speed (00:32:09) – How MoE models are laid out across GPU racks (00:47:12) – How pipeline parallelism spreads model layers across racks (01:03:37) – Why Ilya said, “As we now know, pipelining is not wise.” (01:18:59) – Because of RL, models may be 100x over-trained beyond Chinchilla-optimal (01:33:02) – Deducing long context memory costs from API pricing (02:04:02) – Convergent evolution between neural nets and cryptography Get full access to Dwarkesh Podcast at www.dwarkesh.com/subscribe
