@BladonStuart I have no idea what to make of this, but SICK!

I used the new tribe model to visualize how my brain activations might have looked on this bike ride, pretty cool! Code below

@nathanhleung let's go nate!

Excited to announce I am no longer unemployed! Last June, I quit my job, emptied my apartment in San Francisco, and drove eight hours south to the suburbs of San Diego, where I moved into my friend Albert’s apartment. For nine months, we lived on Tasty Bite Madras lentils and Shin ramen, working 10/10/7 from two desks in the living room, building an all-new clinical trial system-of-record from the ground up. @runharbor is now providing electronic data capture for five different studies, ranging from internal feasibility to multisite and multinational — saving our customers weeks of database build time and hours of manual transcription effort. Excited to finally launch publicly as part of @ycombinator's Spring 2026 batch — and if you’re a sponsor wondering why your clinical trial is taking so long, talk to us.

Some fun BTS from the @gumloop Series B vid! Highlight was getting @MaxBrodeurUrbas on FaceTime to a remote monitor while he was on Coit as we pointed a 300-1200mm zoom lens from 1982 at him. Longest lens available in the Bay Area - and still wasn’t long enough😵‍💫

i can't imagine what incredible kanban boards they envisioned

@zachglabman gf said she would be first tester too

@bjamin_ar would use this

found some code to scrape prices from traderjoes, got claude to rip with this and get a meal list in my notes and hooked it up to my todolist and calendar

@lillysharples Yes! Very good very good

@bjamin_ar ... but what if the tick isn't such a bad thing?

Writing has always been my tool for interpreting myself. Usually the output is similar to a self help book. This time I wrote a short story about my childhood and it was a blast.

Today, we're launching AI Vision. The first AI slop detector that exposes content as you scroll.

@rtwlz the jester has arrived

EXCLUSIVE SCOOP: I joined the wonderful Labs team at OpenAI. I am learning a lot and have l enjoyed it very much.

@graceisford @modal @PrimeIntellect @willccbb @peywalt @qjoyliu @qjoyliu epic matching fit

Packed house @modal SF with @PrimeIntellect tonight - running complex RL environments, scaling up sandboxes & LLM-as-judge evals @willccbb @peywalt @qjoyliu 👏💚🚀

@gucaslelfond more canvas better

pretty interesting. as writing code gets easier (or effortless!), tests act as a sort of "enforceable spec" / perhaps represent lots of the value of software IP

my openclaw agent is the perfect fall guy
