@aakashgupta Why we left this up to beracracy?

The air traffic controller cleared the fire truck onto the runway. Seconds later, the same controller screamed “stop, stop, stop.” The plane was doing 93 to 105 mph. Both pilots are dead. Everyone will frame this as controller error. One controller was simultaneously managing a United flight that aborted takeoff after an anti-ice warning, dispatching a fire truck across an active runway, and sequencing an inbound Air Canada landing at highway speed. At 11:40 PM. On a mandatory overtime shift at a facility that has been understaffed for years. A system that assigns one person that workload will produce exactly this outcome. The only variable is when. The FAA is short approximately 3,000 controllers. The headcount dropped 13% from 2010 to 2024 while flight volume rose 10%. Over 40% of the FAA’s 290 terminal facilities are understaffed. The New York TRACON, which manages the most congested airspace in America across LaGuardia, JFK, and Newark, has been chronically below target. Newark was operating at 59% of its staffing goal. LaGuardia handles 900 flights a day. The hiring pipeline is broken at every stage. Only 2% of applicants complete the full process. Training takes up to 6 years. The FAA Academy in Oklahoma City is a bottleneck, with roughly 35% of trainees washing out. Congress blocked legislation to build a second academy. In one recent hiring cycle, the FAA brought on 1,512 candidates and lost 1,300 in the same window. Net gain: around 160 controllers for an entire country. Three things need to happen and everyone who can make them happen has known for years. Congress needs to fund and authorize a second FAA training academy. One facility in Oklahoma City cannot produce enough controllers for 900 million annual passengers. Members of Congress from Oklahoma have actively blocked this. That needs to end yesterday. The FAA needs to cut certification time. Six years from application to fully certified controller is absurd. The agency’s own data shows tower simulators reduce certification time by 27%. They’ve installed them at 95 facilities. That should be every facility, and the simulated hours should count toward more of the certification requirement. The FAA needs to stop plugging staffing gaps with mandatory overtime. Controllers at understaffed facilities are working six-day weeks rotating between morning, mid, and night shifts. The NTSB has flagged fatigue repeatedly. The controller last night was managing overlapping emergencies during a nighttime operation. Overtime is not a staffing plan. It’s a countdown to the next runway collision. The controller said “I messed up” to a Frontier pilot who watched the whole thing. The pilot responded “No man, you did the best you could.” One of them is right. The answer determines whether this happens again.

@TraeNunnink @Replit That’s why I’m wondering if we make this a public leaderboard. Maybe you can watch your building grow over time.

@TheRiverCard Vercel / Supabase

No shame on Replit, built a bigger business than I've ever built. But at the rate Claude Code /Cowork is moving, why does Replit needs to exist? What's the bull case for the future of Replit and similar tools if all the model companies are on the same path.

This is huge for Bitcoin. Agents might drive the next phase of BTC adoption. Also video made with Replit Animation!

Home mining just leveled up. • 3nm American-engineered ASICs • Full Bitcoin node built in • Starting at $899 Apollo III

@coinbase $KULR

What stocks are you watching rn?

While everyone is focused on Bitcoin dropping to $63K something happened last week that nobody talked about The Lightning Network crossed $1 billion in monthly transaction volume for the first time ever $1.17 billion across 5.2 million transactions in November And the average transaction size nearly doubled year over year from $118 to $223 which means this isn't just micropayment experimentation anymore Businesses are using it Exchanges are moving real money through it Bitcoin's price is down 50% from its high and its actual usage as a payment network just hit an all time record I find it genuinely remarkable that these two things can be true simultaneously and I find it even more remarkable that almost nobody is talking about the second one because it doesn't fit the obituary everyone is busy writing

@jackmallers Let it cook

We've reached the "everyone knows that everyone knows" chapter. AI is a deflationary force barreling into our highly indebted fiat pile of trash financial system. With this much debt, authorities can only take so much pain. When do they surrender and whip out the money printer?

@tenobrus @brcowboy1 Its doing the fucking actually 😆

@brcowboy1 the value of an ide and vibecoding platform goes to zero as codex and claude code improve. the value of being new user friendly goes to zero as codex and claude apps improve. the value of easy deploys etc goes to zero as eg local agents get better at just using vercel

gigafucked: - grammarly - calendly - miro - retool - webflow - langchain - writer - harvey - glean - expedia - monday fucked: - accenture - intuit - notion - jasper - canva - alphasense - postman - airtable - talkdesk - sierra - zapier - replit - solace probably fucked: - cursor - pilot - clay - mercor naively seems fucked but so competent / plugged in they seem to be figuring it out on the fly anyway: - linear

@tenobrus @brcowboy1 replit is a full dev and deployment platform and emerging as a general content creation tool. Its absolutely NOT fucked.

@tenobrus tell me why is replit fucked

@sayinshallah youre saying crypto still, smh of course crypto is over it. Bitcoin will be the only survivor.

@dotkrueger How many motha fuckin Jones are we going to lose? None

We're going to lose 24MM jobs. ---------------------------------- AI-Exposed U.S. Jobs (Approx.)

$KULR Vanguard increased its position in KULR.

@rough__sea Huh? How can you be for or against ai? Its simply happening, like the industrial revolution. V confused by emotional takes.

I dislike that the default left/liberal position is anti AI now. wildly shortsighted for an inevitable technology shift.

@davidgokhshtein Its either bitcoin or corn. Literal 🌽

If you’re not buying Bitcoin what are you putting your money in instead? Genuinely curious what people think is a better play right now.

On a bank holiday, Bitcoin can send any amount of money anywhere on earth in minutes — for $0.44.

@it_unprofession You be eye is where its going. Adaptation is paramount

My 10-year-old nephew asked me today if robots are going to take everyone's jobs. I said probably not everyone's. Someone has to fix the robots. He said what if the robots fix themselves. That's when I realized I was having an existential crisis with a fourth grader. I've spent 15 years building a career in IT. Every few years the technology changes and I adapt. Servers to cloud. On-premise to SaaS. Manual to automated. But what happens when the automation automates itself? I'm not worried about next year or even five years from now. I'm worried about 15 years from now when my nephew is entering the workforce and half the jobs that exist today are just... gone. He asked what I would do if I wasn't working with computers. I genuinely don't know. This is all I've ever done. He said maybe I could be a teacher. Teach people about computers. I said maybe. But who needs teachers when AI can explain everything better than I can?He looked worried. I changed the subject. But the question is still sitting in my head. What do I actually do if this entire career path just evaporates?

Insane how powerful our internal agentic development platform has gotten at @Replit. Must be one of the most productive systems out there. Absolutely mogs anything else I've seen.

@WalkerAmerica Its all the same skop that gets back to bitcoin in the end

Prediction markets killed “crypto.” Why gamble on tokens printed out of thin air by insiders when you can just gamble for real? This is why every single shitcoin casino just implemented prediction markets at the same time. Coinbase, Gemini, Robinhood, etc. These guys all know the “crypto” grift has run its course. They know they need to pivot, so they have. They are finally being honest. It was never about “blockchain innovation” or [insert fucking stupid buzz word]. It was always about gambling. And hey, I have no problem with gambling. Do whatever the fuck you want with your money. I don’t care. I’m just glad the shitcoin casinos are finally being honest, especially because it heralds the end of “crypto.” For those who want to simply *save money* instead of gambling, there is Bitcoin.
