The NFL
The NFL is nearly synonymous with America today. Practically nothing is more quintessentially and universally American than tuning in every Sunday (and Monday, and Thursday… and sometimes Saturdays and holidays too) to watch the world’s most beautiful ballet of violence. It generates the most revenue of any sports league globally and sets new records for team valuations each year. But it wasn’t always this way. The history of the NFL mirrors America’s own development: scrappy small-town teams rode the successive growth waves of the automobile, TV, the Internet and social media to grow larger than the even the founders’ wildest dreams. Whether you watch football or not, the NFL is one incredible business story, and one that we’ve taken more lessons from over the years for Acquired itself th

Reliable Agentic Development on a €40 Budget: Dependency-Aware Orchestration for Claude & Codex
Reliable Agentic Development on a €40 Budget: Dependency-Aware Orchestration for Claude, Codex, and Human-in-the-Loop Most agentic coding demos show the happy path: AI gets task, AI writes code, done. What they don’t show is who decides what the tasks are. Or what happens when a task is marked Done but the file never got created. Or when the agent silently hangs on an auth error. Or when a dependency chain falls apart and you don’t find out until three tasks downstream have already run on bad assumptions. I built a Python orchestrator that handles the full lifecycle. Claude does the planning. Codex does the building. The orchestrator manages everything in between: task state in Notion, dependency chains, failure recovery, human blocker detection, and push notifications. Total cost: €40/mon
Diffusion-based AI model successfully trained in electroplating
Electrochemical deposition, or electroplating, is a common industrial technique that coats materials to improve corrosion resistance and protection, durability and hardness, conductivity and more. A Los Alamos National Laboratory team has developed generative diffusion-based AI models for electrochemistry, an innovative electrochemistry approach demonstrated with experimental data.
The AI Revolution in Development: Why Outer Loop Agents Are the Next Big Thing
Editor’s note: Robert Brennan is speaking at ODSC AI East this April 28th-30th in Boston! Check out his talk, “ Agents for the Inner Loop and Outer Loop ,” there! If you’re using AI to code, you’re probably doing what most developers do: running it inside your IDE or as a CLI on your laptop. You make a few changes, the AI helps out, and you iterate until it’s working. That’s the inner loop of development — and it’s where AI has already made a massive impact. But here’s the thing most people are missing: AI is about to revolutionize what happens after you push your code. The Shift to Outer Loop Agents Think about everything that happens after you git push: CI/CD runs, code gets reviewed, issues get tracked, vulnerabilities get flagged. That’s the outer loop — and traditionally, it’s been pr

SpaceX has reportedly filed for the biggest IPO in history
SpaceX has reportedly taken the step many onlookers have long expected: filing paperwork to hold an initial public offering (IPO) on the stock market and become a publicly traded company. Rumors had long pointed toward the IPO taking place by July. The company filed draft IPO registration paperwork with the US Securities and Exchange Commission confidentially, according to Bloomberg . As such, the public won’t get a chance to closely scrutinize SpaceX’s finances just yet. Taking the confidential approach means SpaceX can obtain feedback from the SEC before making the details public and announcing key factors like the price range and number of shares it’s planning to sell at the outset. SpaceX is said to have designs on holding the largest IPO in history. It’s reportedly looking to raise $7
SpaceX Has Filed Confidentially for IPO Ahead of AI Rivals
SpaceX has filed confidentially for an initial public offering, according to people familiar with the matter, bringing billionaire Elon Musk’s rocket, satellite and AI company closer to delivering the biggest-ever listing.
Anthropic vs OpenAI: An Investor Shift
Ken Smythe, Founder of Next Round Capital joins Bloomberg Open Interest to break down the surprising shift in AI investing. He explains why OpenAI shares are flooding the market, how Anthropic is emerging as a stronger financial bet, and why OpenAI’s massive $122B funding round may not be as real as it sounds.
