Daily · Saturday, May 31

Nine new episodes across your shows. The two that matter most:

Latent Space 4 min read

The real economics of inference

Margins on serving large models are thinner than anyone admits. The guest walks through why batching, quantization, and speculative decoding moved from research tricks to the only things keeping a token business solvent — and why the next round of price cuts comes from hardware, not models.

How a chip company became an operating system

A long history of how a single decision, to ship a programming layer alongside the silicon, built a fifteen-year moat. The hosts trace the bets that looked like distractions at the time and compounded into lock-in.

The shows below your cutoff

You find out the episode was excellent weeks later, from a clip or a colleague.

You subscribe to far more shows than you can play. The good ones below your listening cutoff don't announce themselves, they just pass by. Show Notes puts every new episode in one place to scan, so the ones worth your time stop slipping past, and turns the ones you pick into a few minutes of reading.

How it works
01

Tell us your shows

Search to add them, or import an OPML file from your current podcast app in one step. Ten shows or fifty, it's the same setup.

02

Pick what's worth reading

New episodes from all your shows land in one place. Choose the ones you care about and Show Notes writes a clean, substantive summary, not a transcript and not a blurb.

03

Read instead of listen

Read the summary in a couple of minutes, save it, or open the audio if it earns the full listen. A daily email keeps you current on what's new across your shows.

The thing you'll actually receive

Built to the standard of a great newsletter.

Themed sections, generous excerpts, a clear sense of what's worth your time and what isn't. Each summary is long enough to carry the idea, and honest about which episodes to skip.

A five-minute read across nine episodes.

Nine new episodes across your shows since yesterday. Here is what happened, about a six-minute read.

“The model is the loss leader. The serving stack is the product.”

Protocols for sustained focus

Practical, not mystical: light exposure timing, a 90-minute work cadence, and why the urge to check your phone spikes at predictable intervals. Skip the supplement segment; the first forty minutes carry the episode.

Why good institutions are hard to copy

A conversation on why importing the rules of a functioning system rarely imports the result. The interesting turn: trust is the expensive part, and it cannot be legislated into existence.

The first product hire at a growing startup

What actually changes when you go from founder-led product to your first PM. Concrete on the handoff failure modes, less so on titles. Worth it if you are about to make this hire.

It compounds

Every digest you read becomes a library you can search.

The summaries are yours to keep. Search them, reference them, and pull the one idea you half-remember from a show three months ago. The longer you use Show Notes, the more it knows what you've already heard — and the more valuable that archive becomes.

It isn't a feed that scrolls away. It's a record of the ideas moving through the shows you follow — current when you read it, useful when you come back to it.
