Basic psychology
Consumers subconsciously avoid anything that makes them feel bad

I'm sure X will be thrilled to hear that we're going to shut our brand.
Yes, we made a mistake in launching a Reindustrialize sweater that was made in Portugal, but we truly did look for 3 months for a factory in the US that would make it at 50 MOQ and couldn't find one. Our plan was to launch it and see if there was enough demand for it to justify a larger MOQ. Also, we thought that in the process of doing this, there was a good chance we'd unsurface a factory that could do it. (Which we did. It seems the only factory in the US that can do this has a website that says they're a fabric company.)
Our brand was about a love for technologists and wanting to make them look better.
All the nastiness of the past week destroyed that for us. Tech bros are clearly not supportive of anyone else but other tech bros in building start-ups.
Instead of a positive, constructive, builder-supportive, "Hey, here's a US factory that can make your next run," we were subject to a slew of abuse.
I lost my life savings doing this, which should make everyone happy. (Yes, I'm Croatian.) I need to go get a job now.
We have piles of inventory: all the next planned drops of clothes we made to honor tech culture that we're now just going to give away. Doing a thread of the clothes now. DM us your size and address if you want something, but please say something kind. We don't want to contribute any more negativity to the world.

I’m at the point where I don’t believe any of these studies where people “didn’t eat seed oils”.
So, they went to zero restaurants? Ate basically no food from packages? Never had salad dressing or used sauces?
The only people NOT eating seed oils are those who are VERY specifically altering their lives in drastic ways, and people with crippling OCD and they only eat boiled cabbage or something. (Rare)

Clavicular issued a stark warning in response to the broader discourse ignited by psychological warfare reports in Iran:
“We’re operating in a compromised cognitive environment where most people lack baseline threat models for information exposure,” he said. “There’s no meaningful cognitive security layer, no filtration, no adversarial awareness. What people think of as ‘opinions’ are often just unvetted payloads.”
He continued: “Even when individuals attempt to build defenses, they’re brittle. Easily exploited, socially engineered, or overwhelmed at scale. And with AI agents now capable of persistent, adaptive psychological pressure, we’re not just dealing with noise anymore, we’re dealing with coordinated intrusion into human judgment itself.”

@altryne @AnthropicAI if you spend 10-20x because of this bug every single person administrating the instance should be fired
English
I'm going to take a stab in the dark here for the sequence of events for @AnthropicAI recently (all made up conjecture, I know nothing)
> Dec-Feb: @AnthropicAI sees incredible surge in popularity driven mainly by Claude Code
> Superbowl ad is a dud
> Hegseth suing makes them the "good guy" and drives even more demand
> Normies use Claude Code
> So do enterprises
> Even your grandma
> 20% then 30% WoW growth!
> Nearing $20B in valuation
> Team understands velocity and ship features on top of features. Over 10 features a week sometimes
> Almost all are opus/mythos written internally
> GPUs sweat from increased demand
> A few very subtle caching bugs make it through the automated slop review
> Cached tokens are 10x cheaper than non cached
> 1M context window compounds the problem
> Everyone is essentially DDOSing their systems with uncached responses
> *panic in the disco.gif*
> Uptime is dropping to to nearly 98%
> Mitigation strategies suggested by Claude Mythos:
> Let's introduce quota limits for peak times
> Let's auto-route to lower reasoning model
> Let's focus on shipping "inference improvements"
> This causes Opus to be "dumb" some times and smart some other times.
Problems compound, enterprises spend 10-20x on their Claude API usage via these bugs, nobody in these enterprises is able to tell, they all thing its directly tied to their engineers productivity.
The only folks who see whats going on are anons on reddit reverse engineering caching bugs (using Claude of course) and posting publicly.
There must be a way to monitor for these issues, who's building this?

Kevin O’Leary thinks the highest paying job right now is customer acquisition on social media “I used to pay those guys $48,000, now I’m paying them $250,000 because you can measure their work based on customer acquisition every week” “Most of them become contractors, they make half a million dollars a year because they know how to take content, turn it into a 59 second ad on social and acquire 200 customers” “Those people in their early 20’s are so valuable now. If you know how to use your phone, somebody wants to hire you”

We're hiring: Ghostbuster position open.
Join Deel's version of DOGE, our strongest operational team.
$200k+/year - remote.
Over 7 years, Deel scaled to 7,000+ people across 100+ countries.
Every company this size accumulates ghosts:
- A process installed by someone who left 2 years ago
- A tool slowing everyone down that nobody wants to call out
- A decision from 2022 that no one revisited
Ghostbusters find broken things and fix them.
Own the outcome end to end.
You'll partner directly with our COO & myself on the highest-priority operational and strategic initiatives at the company. No busywork. No micromanagement. Just the objective.
What it takes:
- Builder mentality. You'll get resources, but you'd crush it without them
- First-principles thinker. You walk into any department and ask, "Why does this even exist?"
- Financially sharp. Business-minded. Operationally elite
- AI-native. You help every team rethink how they work, every single week
- Self-directed. We give you the mission, not the playbook
This is the strongest operational team at Deel.
Every person on it is a force.

BREAKING🚨: Chaos at Ultra Music Festival time: Miami cops shoot a man in his 20s acting erratically outside the YVE Hotel Saturday morning around 7AM. Taser and pepper spray? Useless. Dude turns violent toward officers, so they had no choice but to fire. Suspect and one cop hurt and hospitalized. This is what happens when de-escalation fails in a city packed with festival crowds. Stay safe out there.

@sandislonjsak they're talking about orchestrated subagents usually but they dont understand what they're deploying lol

My brain simply can't run more than 3 agents in parallel and QA all of their work.
I am sure I am not the only one.
How do people manage 10 at once?
Or they simply lie?

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces): I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept): Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

This one seems to be going places so I'll just say a few things about myself. I'm a German citizen with an American fiancee that's eventually gonna move to Germany.
I'm increasingly concerned about the direction the USA is moving into. I'm an atlanticist and I really hope that Europe and the US are gonna be able to normalize their relations again in a post Trump world. We people in Europe know that the next 2.5 years are gonna be difficult but we know that better times are coming.
