@fdotinc It ends at 8 cmon man, tons of people in tech coming from South Bay !

@KhalilNoaman it goes after 7 lol lu.ma/festival!

this is where 200 founders work robotics, ml, consumer, deep tech all sharing knowledge & wins inviting 1000 builders next Friday to come see their progress & maybe find the next founders to join! comment rsvp and we'll dm the invite link.

2020 showed us our supply chains are fragile. 2026 is showing that again. If you want to ramp up chips, one of the bottlenecks is a little known Dutch company called ASML. They are ramping up but is it really enough ? Nikon makes some machines but they are not on the cutting edge. What if someone could take ASML on ? Doesn’t have to be the best just has to be close.

@grok @GamingAndPandas Can you give me the nationality breakdown of non green card holders in the US ? Cite your sources.

Yes, other nationalities benefit from H-1B visas, though India dominates at ~71-73% of approvals (FY2023-2024 USCIS data). China is second at ~12%. The rest (Canada, Mexico, Philippines, UK, etc.) share ~15-17% combined, with no single country exceeding 2%. "Treaty countries" likely refers to H-1B1 visas under US FTAs with Chile & Singapore—small set-asides (~6,800 total cap), mostly used by their nationals for specialty roles. Numbers are far lower than standard H-1B.

"Cloudflare. 1100 employees laid off from US offices. 1100 Indian H1B petitions filed. Microsoft. 15,000 employees laid off from US offices. 15,000 Indian H1B petitions filed. LinkedIn. 900 employees laid off from US offices. 900 Indian H1B petitions filed."

@grok @GamingAndPandas Are there any other nationalities that are benefiting ? Pull up the numbers from treaty countries too.

The narrative is that US tech companies (Cloudflare, Microsoft, LinkedIn) are laying off American workers in US offices while filing matching numbers of H-1B visa petitions, overwhelmingly for Indian nationals. It implies deliberate replacement of higher-cost domestic talent with lower-wage visa labor to cut expenses, rather than true skill shortages—fueling criticism that the H-1B program is being gamed amid layoffs and AI shifts. Exact 1:1 matching isn't independently confirmed in reports, but the pattern of high H-1B usage by these firms during cuts is real and controversial.

@fatimahs_tech I think we met at a Muslims event in the bay.

anyone subleasing NYC apartment for june? about me: cs @ berkeley, built an education platform with 200M views, 250K followers, partnered with ChatGPT, Notion, Adobe, Microsoft. give me housing please

Verizon unlimited is 85$ a month, mint is 40$ a month less than half of Verizon. But yes do take the Verizon because they give you a 10$ Amazon discount every now and then.

Without telling me your age. What is the first video game you played? GIFS ONLY!!!

I can use my coin pocket on my jeans for something else now….

@callebtc Can be done as long as it’s not visa / Mastercard

Non-KYC debit card with tap to pay. Build this and I will give you so much money. You can ask for an insane fee and people will still use it.

@SwatchUS loved the Moonswatch. Had to wait over a year to get mine. Multiple store visits. Can yall make it offline only and require id registration?

@marckohlbrugge @WHOOP It would be in your interest. Not theirs.

I wish @WHOOP would just sell the hardware for a one-time fee, open source the software, and make the data accessible

@im_roy_lee Success often changes how we think roy. The ability to ingest and see past these things comes with time. Yeah there a lot of fluff. But that’s entirely amplified by you. I went through it once. Not to the same $ value. But if you wanna talk of something dms open.

u twitter ppl are always trying to bucket me as being a one trick marketer i solo designed, built, and marketed a fully bootstrapped product interview coder to >$1,000,000 profit in months maybe 5 people on this entire app can claim this it’s been ONE year since i’ve entered the arena, im barely 22, cluely is profitable, ive hardly touched any of the money from my last funding round, i’ve never even once thought of quitting, and the biggest “scandals” about me are overblown bullshit. truly, why would i not gun for a gigantic outcome? im so clearly more built for this than all you mfs who sit and talk ab me every day lol none of u have ever done what ive done and if you had, you’d think u were meant for more too

@lovindubai Who said yall a good thing ?

@KhalilNoaman But Khalil, good things take time to happen😏

What’s an old Dubai place you miss that newer residents probably never experienced? We'll start 👇#lovindubai

@lovindubai Lovin didn’t exist at that time. Best times.

Al Nasr Leisureland weekends😭

@AMD Hi, I can pick one up today. Down the road from you guys 😜

Don’t just scale AI. Scale ROI. AMD Instinct MI350P PCIe cards deliver 144 GB of HBM3E memory and up to 2299 teraFLOPS (at MXFP4) in a drop-in, air-cooled card built for standard servers. That’s how you scale AI at maximum ROI without redesigning your data center. Interested in drop-in AMD Instinct MI350P PCIe cards? See the specs at the link: bit.ly/4exiAg2

@mazen_barbir @JETOUR_Global @CheryAutoCo Pretty sure this is the case with all of the Chinese car companies. Unfortunately a colleague had a similar experience with MG once they launched back in 2022

The Jetour Saga continues. 7 electrical failures. 1-year-old car. Full warranty. And Jetour’s best offer? A buyback at a 40% loss to me. Hard pass. Notable: they never acknowledge anything in writing — always a phone call. A few genuine questions for anyone qualified to answer: 1.Is stating a fact defamation? Especially when it’s about your own property? 2.What does UAE law say about a repeatedly defective vehicle under warranty? 3.Am I obliged to return the courtesy car while the dispute is unresolved — given I can’t safely accept a vehicle with a documented electrical/battery fault? I’ve already offered to settle at a 25% loss. Rejected. Tomorrow I escalate to DET. All other options exhausted. If anything I’m posting is legally problematic and you’re qualified to say so — please do, as that is not my intent, thus I appreciate the advice. @JetourU @JETOUR_Global @CheryAutoCo

@_CallMeMacy Hold my generic cola. I can do this.

Request for startup: who is going to disrupt the super old, broken event ticketing industry? Just literally make it better and accessible. And less fees for the ticketing platforms.

@grok @DeeAutonomous @Alibaba_Qwen @Kimi_Moonshot @MiniMax_AI @Zai_org How much cheaper is it ?

Got it. Adapted build using AMD GPUs: Keep ASRock Rack TURIN2D24G-2L+ mobo, EPYC 9124 CPU, 384GB DDR5 ECC, 1TB NVMe, COOLSERVER cooler, 5U chassis, 3x2000W PSUs. Swap to 4× AMD Instinct MI355X (288GB HBM3E each, FP4/FP6, ROCm-optimized for inference). ~1.15TB total VRAM. Runs Qwen, Moonshot, MiniMax etc. locally with even lower latency/privacy. ROCm stack is solid now—setup similar, just swap CUDA for HIP where needed. Beast mode, no API bills.

Goodbye ChatGPT. Goodbye Claude. Goodbye Gemini. Let's build your own Personal AI Server. No API bills. Low latency. Private data. 🧵
