Jesus is God.

I used to be scared and overthink app releases because I didn’t want to disappoint users or have a bad bug in my app that would make user hate the app and leave but from this Spotify outraged I saw a comment from a user that said they were Spotify users for 10+ years and after this logo change they cancelled and moved to YouTube premium FROM A logo change… so yea IDGAF anymore cured all worries and anxiety release release release

My little offline AI notes app Viska did a little over $1k gross in April across ios and android. It runs local transcription and local ai assistant about notes, one time purchase and somehow privacy focused academics and mainly Europeans who actually care about this are finding it. Not life changing yet, but is the first app i have built that finally saw it all the way thru, motivating enough to keep going with a LOT of users emailing about feature requests on the regular. viskalocal dot com

@nic_carter Ezekiel. Thats wild

these new UAP releases from the DoW are nuts. think I recognize these from a book I read...

@josevalim wow... This is pretty crappy design i guess i am not all that surprised but this is an overstep habitual oversteppers

So apparently when you install Claude Desktop app, they write a manifest file to several browser directories, even if you have never installed any of those browsers or never opted into using Anthropic's browser extension?

@brian_armstrong Poor AI being used as a scapegoat again. AI like…

This is an email I sent earlier today to all employees at Coinbase: Team, Today I’ve made the difficult decision to reduce the size of Coinbase by ~14%. I want to walk you through why we're doing this now, what it means for those affected, and how this positions us for the future. Why now Two forces are converging at the same time. We need to be front footed to respond to both. First, the market. Coinbase is well-capitalized, has diversified revenue streams, and is well-positioned to weather any storm. Crypto is also on the verge of the next wave of adoption, with stablecoins, prediction markets, tokenization, and more taking off. However, our business is still volatile from quarter to quarter. While we've managed through that cyclicality many times before and come out stronger on the other side, we’re currently in a down market and need to adjust our cost structure now so that we emerge from this period leaner, faster, and more efficient for our next phase of growth. Second, AI is changing how we work. Over the past year, I’ve watched engineers use AI to ship in days what used to take a team weeks. Non-technical teams are now shipping production code and many of our workflows are being automated. The pace of what's possible with a small, focused team has changed dramatically, and it's accelerating every day. All of this has led us to an inflection point, not just for Coinbase, but for every company. The biggest risk now is not taking action. We are adjusting early and deliberately to rebuild Coinbase to be lean, fast, and AI-native. We need to return to the speed and focus of our startup founding, with AI at our core. What this means To get there, we are not just reducing headcount and cutting costs, we’re fundamentally changing how we operate: rebuilding Coinbase as an intelligence, with humans around the edge aligning it. What does this mean in practice? - Fewer layers, faster decisions: We are flattening our org structure to 5 layers max below CEO/COO. Layers slow things down and create coordination tax. The future is small, high context teams that can move quickly. Leaders will own much more, with as many as 15+ direct reports. Fewer layers also means a leaner cost structure that is built to perform through all market cycles. - No pure managers: Every leader at Coinbase must also be a strong and active individual contributor. Managers should be like player-coaches, getting their hands dirty alongside their teams. - AI-native pods: We’ll be concentrating around AI-native talent who can manage fleets of agents to drive outsized impact. We’ll also be experimenting with reduced pod sizes, including “one person teams” with engineers, designers, and product managers all in one role. In short: AI is bringing a profound shift in how companies operate, and we’re reshaping Coinbase to lead in this new era. This is a new way of working, and we need to leverage AI across every facet of our jobs. To those who are affected I know there are real people behind these decisions — talented colleagues who have poured themselves into this company and our mission. To those of you who will be leaving: thank you. You’ve helped build Coinbase into what it is today, and I am sincerely grateful for everything you've done. All impacted team members will receive an email to their personal account in the next hour with more information, and an invitation to meet with an HRBP and a senior leader in your organization. Coinbase system access has been removed today. I know this feels sudden and harsh, but it is the only responsible choice given our duty to protect customer information. To those affected, we will be providing a comprehensive package to support you through this transition. US employees will receive a minimum of 16 weeks base pay (plus 2 weeks per year worked), their next equity vest, and 6 months of COBRA. Employees on a work visa will get extra transition support. Those outside of the US will receive similar support, based on local factors and subject to any consultation requirements. Coinbase prides itself on talent density. Our employees are among the most talented people in the world, and I have no doubt that your skills and experience will be highly sought after as you pursue your next chapters. How we move forward To the team that is staying, I know this is a difficult day. We’re saying goodbye to colleagues and friends you've been in the trenches with. But here’s what I want you to know as we move forward together: Over the past 13 years, we have weathered four crypto winters, gone public, and built the most trusted platform in our industry. We’ve made it this far by making hard decisions and by always staying focused on our mission. This time will be no different – nothing has changed about the long term outlook of our company or industry. And most importantly, our mission has never been more important for the world. Increasing economic freedom requires a new financial system, and we’re building it. The Coinbase that emerges from this will be more capable than ever to achieve our mission. Brian

@DrizzleORM R.I.P bro

=(

yeah AI is good but why is EVERY chat support straight ASS @coinbase support is not great

all this new models and tooling and overcomplicating everything, I havnt noticed the difference in models since opus 4.5 and this codex new tool (almost) everything feels like microsoft cramped ass.

@svpino github.com/JuliusBrussee/… What about using this

Be careful with moving it all over Opus 4.7. The new model uses more tokens and will eat up your subscription faster. • New tokenizer that maps inputs to up to 1.35x the number of tokens that it previously did. • The model thinks more, so it will use more tokens. You will need to evaluate whether this trade-off is worth it for you.

@bcardarella fine! ill check out zig

I've completed the Zig 0.16 update for Zap. Now just waiting on the linux builds to complete then I can push.

i get that but think about local models i mean they are improving but everyone knows you need hundred of thousands of dollar to get close to the same level of opus 4.6 or other so what do you do you use the various companies models. You wont need to own a quantum computer but using the compute is where the money will be at so you will have companies emerge that will allow you to use the "cloud" service just like chatgpt and anthropic do now you dont own those models they are not in your computer. I am 99.9% sure quantum computing is the next bubble and it will be exactly like ai where is mostly marketing sprinkle with some realness and there will be usability

I've been thinking about where the capital will go next, my only push back right now on quantum is that for both blockchain and AI both had commercial viable prodocuts that the average consumer can use. I don't think that quantum is even remotely close to that, largely constricted by needing that super conductor material so it can operate at room temps, no?

This is the fucked up thing with modern capitalism, these companies are shells for delivering stock holder value and not providing value to the public.

I love it! the ui is super clean and intuitive I dont even know how you got it to install on my browser right away too very snappy great magic @claudeai @amorriscode

Man.. I’ve been saying this for a while. FACTS. It’s also why the “only builders will make it” story was absolutely dumb by many “indie hackers” unfollow who ever said that dumb ish

@bcardarella @jacob_luetzow @elixirlang maybe because is a smaller lang? I wonder if ai writes lua the best because of it

@RobPando @jacob_luetzow @elixirlang Admittedly I haven't done much TypeScript work but both Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.4 are very good at writing Zig

I don't know why people keep insisting that AI is good at writing @elixirlang.

@jacob_luetzow @bcardarella @elixirlang meh this crap happens for every language is WAY worst for ts

@bcardarella @elixirlang you don't like christmas trees 🎄? 🤣

BREAKING: Anthropic's new model, Claude Mythos, is so powerful that it is not releasing it to the public, per NYT, Instead, it is starting a 40-company coalition, Project Glasswing, to allow cybersecurity defenders a head start in locking down critical software.

It is clear to me that AI with the current tech will fail and it seems like the industry being built up right now to prevent the economy from collapsing from the AI bubble whether is also smokes and mirror or real is quantum computing

I have been using @zeddotdev and after like 2 years just installed @cursor_ai again... You have to f*%ckin login or signup to use? gtfo its an editor ffs...

@dvassallo if i see kevin9038740834 as the username i already know the posts are automated ai nonesense

Unfortunately if I see the word "AI" in someone's bio, I assume all their posts are automated AI nonesense.
