@Jonathan_Blow I'm still waiting for the one (1) product someone has built with an LLM. Not a money-making scam but a usable product. Seems like great software should be everywhere with all this "from my idea notepad to release" talk.

These statements inherently damage YC’s reputation because either (a) Garry has incredibly poor judgement, which affects the companies chosen and mentored; (b) He is just BSing and knows it, which means YC is not trustable; (c) He is correct, then WHAT ARE ALL THE COMPANIES FOR? x.com/garrytan/statu…

OnlyFans owner Leo Radvinsky has died of cancer. Sources tell me Alex Goykhman, a longtime associate, runs day-to-day operations at the company. Succession remains unclear. Here, Alex Goykhman (left) and Leo Radvinksy (right) are pictured together at a MyFreeCams event. MyFreeCams is a webcam-based adult platform founded by Radvinsky before he acquired OnlyFans.

@Kknewkles @ThePrimeagen Any decent photo viewer will read the first few bytes for the file signature/magic number to know the file type, not go off the file name. So it'll read 52 49 46 46 ... and decode the webp. The file is still a webp, no matter the file name.

@ThePrimeagen YOU CAN RENAME WEBP TO PNG?!

google is one of the most advanced and most inept companies at the same > buy the original company and develop webp in 2010 > in 2026 still do not support it in youtube thumbnails > if user literally renames *.webp -> *.png it works > same thing in google docs

@JamesOKeefeIII Excellent stuff. Hard crime on camera. Super curious what the money flow looks like. Uber/Google/DNC/etc. pay lobbying company who pays regional organizers who pays street criminals paying for signatures? Somebody higher up needs to go to jail.

CALIFORNIA ELECTIONS FRAUD CASH FOR BALLOTS PART I: Homeless Bribed with Cash & Drugs In Exchange For Registering To Vote & Signing Election Petitions Caught On Tape Undercover On Skid Row In California. “You can just put Pinocchio Lane.” California NGOs Encourage Fake Addresses To Homeless People To Sign Petitions & Register Voters, A State & Federal Felony. Footage Shows 28 Instances Of Cash Changing Hands For Ballot Signatures & Voter Registration Forms. Many of the petitioners had no understanding of the petitions’ purpose they were advertising. Circulators also instructed individuals to use fake addresses. “Oh, you can just fake an address.” Weingart Center, which received hundreds of millions in public funding, is on tape directing people to where the fraudulent petitioners are located, and directing homeless individuals to petitioners & coaching plausible deniability. “See they say ignorance is no excuse for the law. But a lot of times, I have to say ‘I didn’t know, I had no idea.’” We encountered 28 instances of petitioners offering cash, cigarettes, and marijuana for signatures on petitions. Weingart employees advised: “See they say ignorance is no excuse for the law. But a lot of times, I have to say ‘I didn’t know, I had no idea.’” All happening outside taxpayer-funded housing organizations. Weingart CEO earned $432,000 before resigning from the Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency. James O’Keefe and the OMG Team went undercover on Skid Row, posing as homeless individuals. On hidden cameras, petitioners admitted they are paid $7–$10 per signature, sometimes earning $1,000 or more per day, collecting signatures from individuals with minimal knowledge of what they were signing. “$7 a signature, $5 a signature, $10 a signature.” “We gon’ give you $2.” Populus Inc., a political consulting firm, was circulating petitions funded by @Uber, @Delta, @United, and the American Hotel & Lodging Association (@AHLA). On camera, one petitioner said, “We have one that taxes billionaires 5%. One-time tax. 5% and that’s gonna go towards healthcare.” Other petitions sought to overturn LA’s $30 minimum wage for hotel and airline workers. Paying per signature and encouraging fake addresses violates federal and state election law and is proof of fraud happening in California. Weingart employees were caught directing the homeless to the location of the petitioners and coaching them on plausible deniability. Intake coordinator Jason Warren told an undercover journalist exactly where and when to find them: “Most time they be right across the street, under that tree… Monday through Friday.” In 2016, nine individuals were arrested on Skid Row for exchanging cash and cigarettes for signatures; in 2019 they were charged on 14 counts under the exact same California Elections Code section. Yet when confronted, nearby LAPD officers dismissed the activity as “a civil lawsuit.” “Paying per signature violates state election law and is evidence of election fraud in California,” the investigation concludes. On Skid Row, we captured conduct on tape that violates Federal Law 52 U.S. Code §10307 and state law California Election Code §18603.

@TABSReport @arden_young_ @atutruckers Nice. Great stuff.

🚨 TABS INVESTIGATES ILLEGAL ALIEN CDLs In the latest episode of 'TABS on the Ground,' Investigative Journalist @arden_young_ went inside the U.S. trucking industry to find out who is really behind the wheel of commercial vehicles. What she found is shocking: illegal aliens obtaining CDLs without meeting the same safety and training standards, growing safety concerns including fatal crashes, and drivers who couldn’t speak enough English to even understand basic questions. This isn’t just an industry issue, it’s a direct threat to public safety on our highways. That’s why TABS fully supports the passage of Dalilah’s Law — to restore strict CDL standards, enforce accountability, and protect American drivers and families. Watch the full investigation.

@Jonathan_Blow The standards for and expectations of software engineering are abysmally, embarrassingly low.

Theory: We don't let LLMs control robots and operate freely in the physical world (yet?) because they'd fall all the time, break everything, and cause massive damage. But in software the falling and the massive damage are invisible, so it's fine. x.com/sama/status/20…

@relizarov I like this one lol. Almost a proverb.

There’s an old Soviet joke: A cowboy is riding for his life, Indians right behind him. He thinks, This is the end. Then a voice in his head says, Not yet. Shoot their chief. He fires from the saddle and drops him. Silence. Then the voice says: Now it’s the end.

@ChangS69585 @killallpagans That is in fact not legal

@killallpagans 也就是说他们特意利用法律漏洞！！！！他们本身就知道！但是道德真空！！😡😡😡😡

我就说无数次，一个人(或者公司)完全可以100%合法一样是个混蛋。这就是法律与道德之间是有巨大差距的。尤其是有钱人或者大公司，经常恶意操弄法律，来符合法律条文的字面规定，让它在法律上完美，在道德上败坏。他们利用道德真空来用最卑鄙最恶心的方法合法剥削别人。

@Jonathan_Blow Congrats. Looking forward to playing and reading the subsequent development blogs and lessons.

@Jonathan_Blow Congrats on the announcement! Looking forward to the announcement.

🚨🚨🚨JUST ANNOUNCED🚨🚨🚨 that there will be an announcement, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps at The Game Awards, which starts streaming at 4:30pm Pacific / 7:30pm Eastern / Really Early in the Morning European Time. Further details will follow the announcement. Thank you.

LMAO This reporter asked Trump why we need to park an aircraft carrier off the coast of Venezuela. Trump's response: "Its gotta be somewhere."

@matt_vanswol The judges are asleep. At best.

🚨#BREAKING: A horrifying story out of North Carolina, Wellington Dickens, who has been arrested 7 previous times, including for child abuse... ...has just been arrested for murdering his 4 children, ages 6, 9, 10, and 18 Their bodies were discovered in his truck this morning.

@AGPamBondi THANK YOU. That could be any of us in America on public transit.

Yesterday, a grand jury in North Carolina returned an indictment for DeCarlos Brown Jr., who viciously killed Iryna Zarutska on the light rail in Charlotte. He was walking free because of soft-on-crime policies. Our prosecutors will not rest until we get justice for Iryna.

@RepMarkHarrisNC @FoxNews Corrupt judges are costing innocent lives

This week in Charlotte, we saw a 15-year-old who was arrested 111 times in 2 years!! His arrests include: -55 auto theft -45 stealing things out of cars -7 stolen property -1 possession of marijuana -3 other charges Why was he walking freely??

@WurzelRoot >Discharging a firearm into an occupied structure >Judge: "Yeah, so we're going to let you out. No, we'll take care of the bond; don't worry about it." >Repeat 41 times

Growing up as a white kid, i always assumed if you get arrested once you're kinda just cooked, you know because of the rule of law. Its crazy realizing all these blacks have been arrested dozens of times, but as long as it isn't a murder they'll be free in a few days

@RealJamesWoods Make justice swift one way or another

Now you’re talking. And bring back public executions while you’re at it.

@SecScottBessent Thank you! A lot more fraud in federal contracts to investigate and eliminate, too!

The U.S. Department of the Treasury and its related agencies today announced the immediate suspension of all contracts and task orders with ATI Government Solutions pending an investigation into allegations which covers approximately $253 million in Treasury-administered contract value. Taxpayer dollars must be protected. We will not tolerate schemes that try to game small business programs. @SBA_Kelly has my full support to get to the bottom of any abuse of the 8(a) program. @USTreasury will cooperate fully with @SBAgov, inspectors general, and enforcement partners to safeguard the integrity of federal contracting and will refer this matter to @TheJusticeDept.

@matt_vanswol It's unacceptable

🚨#BREAKING: Ronnie Fewell of Charlotte NC, who has been arrested a mind-boggling 41 previous times (!!!), has just arrested AGAIN for the murder of of a 51 year old man. HOW ON EARTH WAS THIS MAN WALKING FREE?!!!!! When is enough?!!! North Carolina needs MAJOR reform...

@matt_vanswol @elonmusk We need accountability

@elonmusk It's literally happening every single day here in North Carolina. I don't know what to do other than to keep telling the stories of the victims and how the criminals are walking free. What else can be done? At my wits end.

Judges and DAs who allow repeat, violent offenders to devastate the lives of innocent people must be fired
