Has anyone picked this up? Seems like a great deal for slightly more than the Studio Display and a lot less than the XDR (which I don’t need, but of course the heart yearns)

@Ex3NDR @elie2222 Ha Orca has a mobile app that was built specifically to replace Happy in my workflow because at one point I thought it was abandoned. Happy is one of the best mobile experiences I've ever had (until I realized it had been billing my anthropic API key and not my max sub)

@RhysSullivan i am using skills as subagents, like you can abstract away some workflow and it can be sizable (ie how to build webapp) without polluting core

skills is still not sitting right with me as a concept i think it's because companies rushed to them as the next big thing as is what happens with all ai things now everyone is their docs as skills but it's recreating all the issues (authority, up to dateness) docs solved

I was often thinking about naming projects/companies recently. And AI naming curse is real like openai is closed source. I called my harness "daycare" aka "stop babysit your agents" and you will end up babysit them yourself. I expect "Durable" (which uses superman logo lol) to be very flimsy (just like all agentic stuff).

@elie2222 @Ex3NDR There's a gazillion of these. I even made one. I use it every day but I built it mostly so I could "steer" my team into vibe coding the right way. tryorca.com

this is the standard frontier lab worldview but it ignores how production engineering actually works. building a model that can pass a medical licensing exam is not the same thing as building a regulated medical diagnostic tool that integrates with legacy hospital erp systems. we see this in our accelerator all the time. engineers arrive thinking agi will just solve their project for them, then they hit the reality of data drift, pii compliance, and the massive gap between a chat interface and a reliable api. the labs will own the base weights and the compute. but the moat for startups is the messy middle, the custom evaluation pipelines, the domain-specific rag loops, and the human-in-the-loop verification that frontier models still can't automate. the world only gets boring if you stop at the chatbot layer.

Some people at frontier AI labs told me they believe startups are over. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI will absorb every industry as AGI nears. Coding today, science, medicine, and finance next. Then everything else. If they’re right, that’s a pretty boring end of the world.

you’re pitching garry tan “so what do you guys do” you start explaining he’s furiously typing . two keyboards. one hand on each. you’ve never seen this before “who are your top customers” you explain. he types. his apple watch is a strobe light of notifications “who’s your competition and why should i invest” you explain that there’s no competition and you are the best and only product in the space “false!” garry jumps out of his seat “i am the competition!” you are speechless “in this meeting, i vibe coded your entire company. and my gstack has already closed your top customers.” you check your phone. your stripe graph shows 100% churn “and look at this” garry shows you his imessage. there’s a text from 35 seconds ago. your top enterprise prospect that you’re trying to close? garry’s AI is trading baking recipes with the CEO’s mom “thank you for playing!” you have no moat. you are not admitted to the YC spring 26 batch.

garry in his office in his lobster outfit "okay claude... rewrite this but in rust... no wait... rewrite it like paul graham would" "garry you have a yc interview starting in 5 minutes" "one second. claude just one-shotted a distributed system" "garry they are in the zoom" "can they describe their startup to claude instead" "garry you are the interviewer" "hold on. claude says their idea has a better moat if we pivot them" "they haven't even pitched yet" "claude already knows" "garry this is yc" "...what's yc again"

A hill I'll die on: Current LLM chat interfaces are a regression from GUIs. Actions that used to be links, buttons, or keyboard shortcuts are now things I have to spell out in conversation. Why?

Even bigger irony of getting rich is that everything expensive isn't that much better than when you paid normal for it Many things are even worse (most expensive luxury hotels are guaranteed worse than regular simple hotels, I know I tried most of them now) The real reason you wanna get rich is not to buy expensive things It's so that $1M invested gives you 3% to take out every year with no risk, which is $30,000/year Which you can use to travel for $1000/mo on a shoestring budget forever without having to back to some desk job with a shitty boss Aka FREEDOM
@levelsio@levelsio

The irony is that traveling on <$1000/mo is way more fun than >$10,000/mo Luxury travel is extremely boring, comfortable, not challenging, sycophantic (yes sir) Travel on a shoestring budget you get inventive, are forced to meet locals just to survive and get around, have to hitchhike etc I like to combine cheap and luxury travel which keeps my brain from decaying and the contrast actually lets you enjoy both

My experience was mostly mobile, like messengers. And when it was p2p it was always bad. So it is much better to have a server. But you cant use kubernetes, any hosting provider (like render, amazon, nothing really), had to run custom deployment essentially. VNC and RDP is tcp based, not UDP, so you can use any load balancer on single port and also you can put a lot of off the shelf firewalls provided by virtually any cloud provider.

Hmm, curious to hear more about what scenarios you're deploying to I've spent a lot of time with WebRTC in gaming world. Our TURN fallback rate in practice was negligible (idr the exact numbers) which is prob a lot different than you. > all deployment options is out of the window > Also it requires to open like 30k ports on the node Unless your network disallows hole punching, you don't need any ports open Sounds like this is a concern specific to network configurations that disallow hole punching? What environment are you running into this with? > Also no LB and stuff so your server that receives a media and processes if via unsafe C++ code would be internet facing Same applies for any other VNC or RDP server the client communicates with, no? Cheers!

All Computer & Browser Use implementations I've seen use VNC or WebSocket-based protocols instead of WebRTC How in the world are we still doing streaming over TCP + no adaptive bitrate in 2026?

Since it is not HTTP almost all deployment options is out of the window. Also it requires to open like 30k ports on the node, which again barely any orchestration allows you except bare metal or docker. Also no LB and stuff so your server that receives a media and processes if via unsafe C++ code would be internet facing. Also latency is horrible, it helps only a little to use UDP for HD video. But for some reason RDP was able to stream everything nicely even 15 years ago without all this circus.
