@SahilBloom For me, it's @WHOOP. I even tried to quit it going to AW Ultra w/bevel and it just didn't measure up. There's something about their app that is motivating in a way for sleep / exercise / recharge / habit changing that others don't quite hit. Nice job @willahmed

@openclaw Is there a way to use OpenAI Image2 image generation with an OpenAI subscription instead of an API key? @steipete

Extremely proud to announce one I've been working on for a while — parent-managed accounts for kids 6-12 on @CashApp → earn interest on savings → set up allowances → design a custom card → no monthly fees

I've loved following Donovan since I went to @RealPitino's first kids basketball camp at UK. That camp was amazing - had the whole staff, and if you beat either Billy or Rick at 1 on 1 (to 3, 1s and 2s, make it take it, they start with the ball) you got a t-shirt that said it. I still have my t-shirt. Would love to see him to come to UK. But I can't see a way that happens.

Late to the game but found this history of the chip-focused economic development of Taiwan fascinating. "ITRI started with a shoestring budget of NT$210 million ($16 million today) and 400 employees, of whom only 10 had PhDs.2 It became one of the highest-return research initiatives in history. ITRI was responsible for creating multiple billion-dollar companies — including the legendary TSMC— and driving Taiwan to produce 60% of the world’s chips today." asteriskmag.substack.com/p/the-16-milli…

woke up and my mentions are full of these Both me and @davemorin tried to talk sense into Anthropic, best we managed was delaying this for a week. Funny how timings match up, first they copy some popular features into their closed harness, then they lock out open source.

Starting tomorrow at 12pm PT, Claude subscriptions will no longer cover usage on third-party tools like OpenClaw. You can still use these tools with your Claude login via extra usage bundles (now available at a discount), or with a Claude API key.

One vice I have that I can't even explain to myself: I love good cables, power adapters, and could (and have!) essentially buy new Anker stuff every two weeks. Something in me tells me that I need this. Look at that display. That knob. I don't need it, it's expensive, ... BUT.

Well, this successfully crashed out @AnthropicAI’s capabilities in the half hour before that 5 hour window… I guess everyone moved their recurring jobs to the same time to avoid the window…
Thariq@trq212

To manage growing demand for Claude we're adjusting our 5 hour session limits for free/Pro/Max subs during peak hours. Your weekly limits remain unchanged. During weekdays between 5am–11am PT / 1pm–7pm GMT, you'll move through your 5-hour session limits faster than before.

As excited as I am to have an Optimus assistant, do you think you are required to wear a black T-shirt to actually work on the robot?
