Tehran’s 10 million residents now risk exposure to “highly dangerous and acidic” rain, in addition to fuel shortages, after Israeli bombing of 3 fuel depots unleashed clouds of noxious smoke over the city. By @Najmeh_Tehran via @FT as.ft.com/r/449e729b-0e0…

@mil000 He is building stuff and shipping fast, it is remarkable. If it is so easy, Build something better :)

It’s so funny how this whole company is a larp and his app does nothing but waste tokens and slow down responses.

@SenSanders You forgot to mention about the free Healthcare in Europe.

Israel & Saudi Arabia pushed the U.S. to attack Iran. Netanyahu killed 72,000 people in Gaza, mostly women & children. Saudi Arabia is a brutal dictatorship that allows no opposition. These are the leaders who want to bring “freedom” to Iran? Does anyone really believe that?

Do these people do not understand that the full legal process of international law was not followed?

World is a better place when Americans don't fall for Bernie Sanders

@Gaurab Impressive

We won $10K at MIT and had to figure out how to start a chemical company with it. So I made a spreadsheet. Every single application of hydrogen peroxide, sorted by dollar per gallon. Industrial use? Low margin. Semiconductors? Long sales cycle. Sensory deprivation tanks? Float spa owners pay premium for clean peroxide and there were hundreds of them. I cold-called every one I could find and sent them our MIT pitch video. Within weeks we had recurring orders. Our PVC reactor held together with twist ties was cash flowing $10K a month selling "bioperoxide" to float spas. That's how a multibillion dollar chemicals company got its first customers.

In dark times, our only hope is work-life balance.

Condolences to Ilhan Omar, Zohran Mamdani, and the editorial board of the New York Times.

nothing beats the death of a dictator 🥳

Iran conflict officially on hold until Monday because the EU leadership does not work on weekends

So let me get this straight. You support the Khamanei regime that killed 38,000+ protesters and maimed hundreds of thousands more. A regime that has repeatedly called for Death to America and has killed thousands of our servicemen and citizens. One that has taken away women’s rights and freedoms for the Iranian people. And then you call our efforts to destroy the evildoers a catastrophic escalation. You also support those who attack our police force. You take the side of the criminals rather than the victims of violent actors in our city. How is it that you can’t differentiate between good and evil? Why is this so hard for you?

@eurofounder @scaling01 dude you are hilarious, I love to see your comments when they do noy get the joke

@scaling01 No thank you. Europe doesn’t need AI companies that have no respect for data privacy

imagine Anthropic moving to europe

@jack @blocks It is valuable. if I worked there , I would be mad , but the decision to let me go today instead of stay in doubt for a year whether I would let go or not, a tough decision serves me much more . and from the decision maker perspective, it is harder to do it than a slow layoff

we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company. #### today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone. first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay. we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly. i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures. a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers. we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold. to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward. to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow. jack

@sasha_computer @MaximeRivest Pi is great, wanted to try Codex but It doesnt support custom skills commands the way Claude code does. ( for example. !'gh....' Executing code before LLM sees it. Pi allowed me to extend the skill support,now uses Codex model over Pi.

fact that Bernie wants to give everyone a "human right" to the same technology he simultaneously wants to ban is a perfect reflection of the schizophrenia of modern progressive politics. Whether it's housing or data centers: EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE IT, BUT NO ONE CAN BUILD IT 🤡
