@UntAaron @BillDA I had an issue with a new thermostat for a zone + a furnace that was also new, where I had an issue that I couldn't determine which was the issu. Rather than paying for an HVAC service call, I photographed all of the wiring points, fed it to Claude, and figured out a solution

@BillDA $7,500 saved on one project is cool but the real flex is that claude basically made HVAC expertise a commodity overnight. wonder how many trades are about to get repriced because the knowledge gap just collapsed.

I was quoted $10,000 to install two dehumidifiers in my crawlspace. I saved $7,500 by designing a DIY custom crawl space dehumidification system with Claude 🤑 I am not an HVAC professional. Here’s how I did it. Our story begins with the discovery that our new home needed a dehumidifier installed in the crawl space to prevent mold. The professionals told me it would cost $10k, since I’d need one unit on each end due to the size of the space, plus a second drain line installed. “Can’t we just use fans to move the humid air from one side toward the dehumidifier?” They wouldn’t do that. Enter Claude… I uploaded a floor plan of my crawl space and air volume dimensions, telling Claude what I was trying to do. It researched the best dehumidifier sized appropriately for my air volume (100 pints apparently). Found me the best price - $1,500. Now it was time for fans 💨 I had originally envisioned the single dehumidifier at one end of the space, with fans on the opposite end. Claude taught me that would just draw more moist outdoor air in through the vents on that side, creating a linear flow through the crawl space. Instead it modeled the air flow and suggested a circular vortex with 4 fans, one on each wall, in a circle. That sucks in minimal outdoor air, keeping cool dry air circulating. I told it to research appropriate fans. It found four 20” sealed bearing fans on Amazon (impervious to dust), with DC drive motors (more energy efficient than AC apparently). $120 each. 🔌 It told me to buy a smart plug for each fan and a few internet connected humidity sensors. Another $200. Claude mapped where to install everything in the crawl space. Here’s how it works - the humidity sensors monitor the crawl space air continuously. If it ever exceeds 60% humidity, the smart plugs switch on all 4 fans, circulating the air in the crawl space past the dehumidifier until the humidity is below 50% 🔃🔃🔃 Total cost ~$2,500 for everything and one Saturday of work for me. I saved $7,500 vs. the original quote because I didn’t need two dehumidifiers, and Claude tells me my version is nearly twice as energy efficient. Plus I learned a ton about my home and had fun. I didn’t know anything about dehumidifiers, fans, or air flow dynamics before starting. AI can do so much more than write code - the applications are endless.

@marcorandazza @ne_pas_cacher Trying to generalize Centurion Lounge behavior about booze, when all you've experienced is Vegas, may be a bit off from the reality outside of Vegas. I've seen drunks at all hours, everywhere at LAS! Difference w/ Admirals Club is that their drinks are simple & low-end

@ne_pas_cacher I think admirals club has been a bit more limited when it comes to who can get in. Only centurion lounge I’ve ever used is in Vegas. Think about the kind of freebooze trash leaving McCarran vs Dallas.

I used to love the Centurion Lounge. Now is its full of poors who are there for free liquor and act like assholes. Best thing for all airport lounges is STOP GIVING AWAY FREE LIQUOR. Sell booze for twice what it costs at the bars in the airport. You'll re-establish exclusivity overnight, and leave the broke dick loser drunks at Chilis.

@aschwags3 GA

This VP just joined my team. In her first 50 days, she’s added $100K value. She’s smart. She’s capable. But she’s done THIS one thing better than any hire: Onboarding. I asked her to compile every resource she used to onboard herself quickly. It’s the same guide she gives anyone who joins our team: success metrics that keep scale repeatable, the Qs new hires forget to ask, 30 60 90 day plans, etc. Over the past month, I’ve seen the difference. Right now, I’m giving away the guide away for free: Comment “GA” and I’ll DM it.

@justindross Not to mention that celebrities are generally seen as pretty unsophisticated investors - they have the money & a network (which may come in handy in some businesses), but they're not adding value or necessarily even understanding the product/opportunity.

Wait... has nobody told anyone in Silicon Valley about Jared Leto? This is just some of what's been publicly accused: theguardian.com/film/2025/jun/…

Saw a private jet fly over my neighborhood this morning going to a smaller suburban private airport nearby & decided to look up who owned it. It's neat to see another former WickedFire member's company come up randomly in my day! (If you were on WF and know CLT, you'll know who)

@MehtabKarta @karunkaushik_ I've done this for a very relevant consumer travel campaign before. There was absolutely no noticeable brand lift from the test, but measurement is tricky - classic geo tests don't work, because people are in transit. You target San Jose, but they might Google you in Dallas later

@karunkaushik_ Does OOH like this actually pencil out lol

We did something crazy. We bought every single TSA tray at SJC airport. “PreCheck removed the hassle from security. Delve removes the hassle from compliance.”

@danyay @D4VIDTs @nickpifer Great excuse to try new ad platforms if you've been holding off. Worked with a Fortune 10 co years ago spending millions on Meta, that made a corporate decision to stop spending there (for a few *years*). As an agency, we pivoted and tried Snap, which blew Meta out of the water

@JoshLeibner @D4VIDTs @nickpifer I hope the get hit hard lol

I still wonder what Chase and Amex’ response will be Chase rolled out their Chase Sapphire Reserve for Busness card which is basically specifically designed to ad spend (no points cap) Now there’s nowhere to accumulate ad spend and earn points… Bing? These cards now have 0 value if you have a personal travel card, people won’t be spending $1000/yr on the annual fee

@D4VIDTs @danyay @nickpifer Meta is probably going to end up eating that on bad debt, in my opinion. I can almost guarantee that the financial profile of their average customer who uses invoicing right now looks different than forcing invoicing on the masses who have been using credit cards

@D4VIDTs @danyay @nickpifer Nope, Meta's deal is with their card processor, not with issuing banks. Credit card reward structures for Chase/Amex business cards are for the category in general, not specific ad platforms. Meta is tired of paying 3% or so fees for premium/business credit cards, that's it.

@ankurnagpal What does this NOT work with? Any restrictions on types of forms, multi state filings, etc.? I'm always a fan of having my personal lifestyle subsidized by VCs, but I'm trying to figure out the end game beyond "eventually we'll figure out what to add on to make money".

You can try it for yourself at getprimemeridian.com/?utm_source=an… I'm biased (an investor) but the future is finally here Considering this is already so good for 2025, I can't even imagine how far the tech gets by next year Lmk what you think

This will be the last year that humans prepare the majority of tax returns I just invested in a company that will file your 2025 federal and state tax return with AI It's a magical experience and completely FREE Lmk if you wanna try the product and get a glimpse of the future

@JJEnglert GUIDE

I've used Claude Code to build 20+ projects in the last 6 months. Thousands of new users across them. And I've never written a single line of code. I just dropped a 24-min video with my top 10 tips for non-developers — the exact playbook I use every day to run multiple AI agents that handle work that used to take me a full week. This is the best beginner guide to learning and building with Claude Code out right now. Every tutorial I found assumes you're a developer. This one doesn't. I cover everything from first install to running multi-agent workflows — with live demos and real examples for every single tip. How I set up new projects, how I got Claude to match my writing style, how I automate repeatable workflows with one command, and how I run multiple agents working on different tasks at the same time. I also built a full resource repo to go alongside the video — curated video tutorials, the best skill libraries, plugin directories, MCP server guides, written docs, community links, and a starter CLAUDE.md template you can copy-paste into your first project today. Comment "GUIDE" and I'll send you the full guide with everything you need to learn Claude Code! (make sure we're connected so I can DM you)

@damonhemmerding Congrats Damon, hoping this helps to further develop Camp North End! Love it when I'm up there (even though my famous restaurant is gone), and it's been great to see it go from the early stages to what it is now!

@binghott Got through finally, but... Absolutely not. Still no idea what this thing even does.

Wow. AI(.)com fumbling the bag SO HARD after their Superb Owl commercial

Today I learned that you can enter a special form of hell on Facebook, by interacting with a Reels ad on your feed and swiping up. Facebook then serves you nothing but Reels Ads! No organic content to be found anywhere! Great for ad research purposes, but why is this a feature?

@ycombinator @aaron_epstein Yes, turn it over to AI and you get "add agencies" captions on your videos.

AI-Native Agencies @aaron_epstein Agencies have always been hard to scale. AI flips this model by letting firms use software internally to deliver finished work at higher margins, turning agencies into software-like businesses that can scale far beyond today’s service firms.

The way startups are built has shifted quickly. We're excited about a range of startup ideas for AI-native companies that can now be built faster, cheaper, and with more ambition than ever. ycombinator.com/rfs

@boringmarketer "AdWords"

if Claude Code isn't managing your Adwords campaigns with direct access via API and expert ad management & copywriting skills what are you even doing

@analyticsnerd And to be clear on the implementation side, that case wasn't a reseller billing by the hour, milking the hours - it was a live screen share with my team to rebuild custom but fairly simple reporting that could be built in UA in 1-2 minutes max

@analyticsnerd It's unfortunate that's how GA4 ended up. Having used it since the original GA App+Web early days, it blows my mind how many poor usability decisions were made. The time it even took a GA4 360 reseller/implementation team to handle some migration of UA reporting was shocking

They: I’m very disappointed with GA4 😠 Me: GA4 requires formal training. Otherwise, nothing would make sense. They: No. GA4 shouldn't be this hard. Me: I understand, but saying GA4 shouldn't be this hard won't magically make it easier. Given that Google is unlikely to redesign GA4 from scratch or go back to the Universal Analytics Interface, you have only two realistic choices in real life: >> Either learn GA4 or >> Hire someone to decode GA4 reports for you. You also have the third option: not using GA4, which is also fine, but be ready to pay for the alternative. But regardless of your choice, you will pay in time, money, or both. There are no free meals.

@herrmanndigital @seempaq I was going to go with MagnaTitles

@JoshLeibner @seempaq Black Rock!!!!!!

The fact is I’ve never seen a single advertisement for MAGNA-TILES and almost every house in America with a toddler has them really makes you think.

@herrmanndigital @seempaq ...guess who owns the daycare 😉

@seempaq But how did the daycare find out?!
