@MorEdge_Insight @benshapiro This perlman version is something else youtu.be/ueWVV_GnRIA?t=…

It’s Holocaust Remembrance Day today, and who better than a 12 year old @benshapiro to bring us something wonderful to commemorate the over 1200 Jewish lives saved during the war by a special man, Oskar Schindler. Watch as a young Ben plays the theme tune from Schindler’s List on the violin, introduced by Larry King exactly 30 years ago in 1996. This is one of my favorite pieces of music, and Ben, you played it perfectly.

The reason symmetry is so important in physics is because symmetry is a highly effective compression operator. If a system is invariant under some symmetry, you only need to explain one axis of it. Scientific models represent the systematic exploitation of the universe's internal redundancies through symbolic logic.

@MrPunyapal Check out growengine.dev I made for tooling any laravel project with growth and user metrics

What's interesting going around Laravel PHP community right now?

@BraydenWilmoth Got my beta!

@BraydenWilmoth Would love to test it out. Happy to provide deep feedback

Been building a new email provider platform on top of Cloudflare for a while now. Stop spam. Agents show you email at the best time. Allow/deny entire domains or individuals. Event webhooks. Best email inbox for AI agents. Closed beta next week 😅

@bcherny @trq212 Well then that's a cause for celebration. I hereby declare this entire weekend good weekend and all shall celebrate

@MeirDick @trq212 It's real

Today we're excited to announce NO_FLICKER mode for Claude Code in the terminal It uses an experimental new renderer that we're excited about. The renderer is early and has tradeoffs, but already we've found that most internal users prefer it over the old renderer. It also supports mouse events (yes, in a terminal). Try it: CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER=1 claude

@emtalas Double in.

I have a bit of a crazy idea: A 48-hour distribution hacker house in Muskoka Small group of founders, we go deep on: - content systems - personal brand - inbound + hiring through distribution You leave with a repeatable growth engine + early signs it’s working Does this sound interesting to anyone? 👀

I feel like this is a glimpse into the future, and it's interesting it's come from Stripe, but I can't help but feel that in the future a lot of subscriptions and services will be managed this way I for one would love it if I could manage the range of subscriptions I use (Netflix, Prime, Discord etc.) in one place, being able to toggle them on and off with a single command The best part is it's all underpinned by the Agentic Commerce Protocol, so once a provider supports that, it could be onboarded to any payment provider, not just Stripe This is naturally designed for AI agents to be able to access and pay for services, and Stripe has probably chosen technology providers first because engineers are most comfortable with this paradigm Squint a little though, and imagine ChatGPT et al connect into services like Netflix via this protocol, and all of a sudden the masses are having an AI agent add and remove their subscriptions for them No one ultimately knows how the current AI landscape will play out - I certainly don't - but I think it's really fun to think about and this in particular from Stripe is super interesting, and one of the first times where I've seen the Agentic Commerce Protocol really hit the mark

@_mchenco Love this. Sent pm.

btw… we’re hiring a ton send blogs / research / github

@sickdotdev Growengine.dev Compound growth engineering! A

Builders only. Drop your product. No pitch. Just the link. 50k builders are watching. ↓

@steveruizok Full stack product manager

so what are we calling the "PM who prototypes"

@paulredmond ask claude to open file changes in neovim/tmux alongside, and watch!

Rediscovering Tmux while running multiple agents has been a ton of fun! I am still on macOs but borrowing Omarchy's tmux config. It might be time to dive back into Neovim 💊 github.com/basecamp/omarc…

@gm_mertd @Cloudflare Tried this and ate me up and chewed me out. Good luck!

Anyone wants to collab on below, hit me up: 1. Take @Cloudflare sandbox and workers 2. Create an sdk on top for easy usage 3. Make them persistent and behave like VMs Publish open source. Been tough so far. If you tried and that is just an uphill battle, also let me know, would love to learn

@Zenoware @pushpak1300 Yes!

@pushpak1300 always

you ready for new ai sdk blog ?

@fahdananta On point. Would attend, just in building mode meirdick.com/shipped

I don’t even like Toronto that much but I think it’s the perfect environment to learn how to think for yourself I’ve lived in Seattle, Boston, SF, NYC, and so on. These cities are great and have so much to offer, however it’s easy to fall into groupthink and become a single archetype

Announcement: Hiring for Opendoor Toronto We are building a team for Opendoor in the great city of Toronto, Canada. We’re hiring across operations, finance, engineering, design, data, etc. Hang with us next week to learn more: projects.opendoor.com/toronto-hiring/ Toronto is the single greatest source of raw, high talent people in the world across almost every discipline. Often people feel like they have to leave to do something special but a lot of the magic happens right here. On a life experience and risk-reward basis it’s underpriced whereas places like SF, NY etc are priced in.

@Philo01 This 1000%

Definitely starting to notice this. I feel like I’ve been “on” non-stop since December and it’s starting to take its toll, brain fog, anxiety, fatigue, constant dopamine hits. So many ideas, so much to do, and so little time (at least, that’s how I feel) 😅

@thomasgauvin Me please!!

more email service private beta invites just went out 👀 the dogfood is yummy

@nejatian @Opendoor Love this. Submitted.

Join @Opendoor's founding team in Toronto. Help tilt the world towards homeowners. projects.opendoor.com/toronto-hiring…

@jpschroeder One correction should be 'machines' not 'people' can build more effectively My Cloudflare Thesis: The 100,000x Code Explosion meirdick.com/posts/cloudfla…

This is a much bigger deal than most people realize. If you don't know why, let me explain. Agents perform "work" right now by calling "tools". These are just pieces of context shoved into the context window saying "if you think you the next thing you should do falls into one of these categories, then respond with this format" — that format is the "tool" a JSONSchema response which a harness then uses to call a function. MCP, is best thought of as a way to shove more tools and context into your context window (it has a lot of shortcomings imo). The agent then has to pick which tool out of all the available tools it should call. So the more tools you have, the worse it selects the tools. @threepointone and @KentonVarda have an excellent article (blog.cloudflare.com/code-mode) where they introduced the idea of exposing the MCP tools as an SDK, so to call tools and compose them, the AI just does what it is ALREADY good at: write some code. The question, as always, is where do you run that code safely. Many have proposed sandboxes and containers as a possible solution, but these are hella slow and make the experience untenable. Thats what makes this announcement SO important, it allows you to run agent-written code in a matter of milliseconds with the explicit execution environment you specify pulled in (like a database, kv store, etc. Cloudflare calls these "bindings" btw). In practice, this means people can start building MUCH more effective agents that can *do* a lot more, because they can be exposed to more tools. Anyway, huge deal. Congrats to the CF team.
