@Rainmaker1973 Did it a few years ago. It’s an amazing adventure, highly recommend. You get pretty dirty from all the iron ore blowing in your face all night!

@vrexec Ah I live just a few min away. Love that view.

Witnessed a surreal meteorological phenomenon today with my oldest son in Amsterdam. It’s called the “Dutch Alps” Truly amazing to see.

@gridpane @codyschneiderxx @thesamparr Would listen

@codyschneiderxx @thesamparr This is the correct answer @thesamparr and you should prolly have this dude on the pod while you're at it.

I love Hubspot (we use it) But I don't want to design landing pages anymore. I want claude to do my landing pages for me in Hubspot. I can't figure out how to solve this problem, though. Anyone know how to?

@dhh Halo 1 and 2 for me

Some of my greatest childhood memories came from dragging a tower like that around, along with a heavy CRT monitor, to LAN parties. Quake, Starcraft, Unreal, Warcraft. Formative years!

@garrytan @steipete Built an app this weekend using Opus, Sonnet, GStack, and Codex. Incredibly useful.

I released GStack 2 weeks ago and we're still growing I made it because I was realizing: every software engineering project is changing. How could I accelerate the way I saw @steipete accelerate? GStack is my gift to everyone who wants to build fast

@ianmiles Gonna visit Fujairah too? Worth it imo.

I'm on a road trip to Ras Al-Khaimah in the UAE.

@evanjconrad What a photo! Incredible

hello internet, i accidentally caught photos of a couple, who i believe are on a engagement picnic in marin, somewhere around stinson beach I’d love to find them & give them the photos! If you know them, please dm

@SCMountainGoat Stepping over and becoming desensitized to human suffering at 8am walking into the office each day was what eventually made me want to leave SF. Great city but lot of problems.

It’s insane how this has become normalized. A motionless man, laying face down on the sidewalk, at 9 AM on a Friday morning, on seventh Street in San Francisco. Everyone just walks right by him, like this is totally normal. I checked on him, and he said he’s fine.

@vrexec Looks like the lunch provided I had today at a client meeting in NL.

I had a diagnostic procedure this morning in Holland. In the US, you’re most commonly sedated. Not here. Afterwards, I was given this delicious medicine. What an incredible country. Also I didn’t pay anything or provide any insurance information… just walked out.

@Polymarket Awesome

We're excited to announce 'The Situation Room' by Polymarket is coming to Washington, D.C. The world's first bar dedicated to monitoring the situation. 🧵

@yazins Been thinking of trying to build one of these. Cool stuff! Will try it out

Introducing: OpenGranola 🔥 I built an open source meeting copilot for macOS. It transcribes both sides of your call on-device, searches your own notes in real time, and hands you talking points right when the conversation needs them. No audio leaves your Mac. Point it at a folder of markdown files, pick any LLM through OpenRouter (Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, Llama), and it just works. It's invisible to screen share too — nobody knows you have it. The whole thing is open source. Link below

@paulsaladinomd @eatlineage Congrats on the launch! Exactly what I’ve wanted in a protein bar. Any EU distribution yet?

We just cooked the whole protein bar industry. 🔥 New protein bar from @eatlineage <200 calories 20g of protein (grass-fed whey + collagen) All real food No fake fats, no artificial sweeteners, won't cause "gas with discharge." Get it now: lineageprovisions.com

@SBakerMD Tried all except squirrel

How many points?

@anothercohen Been thinking of making something like this for quite some time. Cool stuff! Have you found it meaningful useful yet beyond just interesting? I’ve found checking oura and Garmin too much, can sometimes be counter productive.

Finally finished vibe coding my personal health app built with Claude. Here's what it does: - Connects to the Oura API to sync sleep, recovery, steps, and exercise data - Tracks my monthly bloodwork via Rythm Health CSV uploads - Uses Playwright to scrape Chronometer daily nutrition and water intake - Uses Gemini to OCR Ladder workout screenshots and track my lifts - Full dashboard with weight trends, calorie balance charts, macro tracking, and a tabbed daily log It's completely interactive and honestly, pretty fucking cool. Blood markers even have visualizations based on what's in range and out of range.

@amasad This is really cool, gonna try it out! Congrats on an epic release

It’s really hard to describe the joy of multitasking over a canvas powered by parallel agents where all your assets are laid out for you to work with. You have to try it!

@everycountry197 West Africa definitely takes work and isn’t easily, but overall I’ve really enjoyed the couple trips I’ve done there. But I find enjoyment in just about everywhere I go.

@SeanMFloyd Haha I’m not surprised. Seems like West Africa is the final boss of travel At least the countries there are relatively small and don’t have lots to justify long stays

Countries that are fantastic to travel in, but would be terrible places to live: Bolivia 🇧🇴 Afghanistan 🇦🇫 Nicaragua 🇳🇮 Myanmar 🇲🇲 India 🇮🇳 Venezuela 🇻🇪 Guatemala 🇬🇹 Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 I’m sure I’ll encounter more in Africa over the coming months

@everycountry197 Been a great trip! On my honeymoon with my wife so have been staying in higher end places than would normally do. Overall chill and enjoyable. More straightforward travel than say west Africa.

@SeanMFloyd Pretty much the same to begin with, then onwards to Zimbabwe and a few other southern African countries, before ending in Kenya/Tanzania How’ve you been finding it down here?

@colossusmag This was a great article. Well written, and really enjoyable to read.

Shyam Sankar is Palantir's chief technology officer and the man most responsible for making its business and technology work. He joined in 2006 as employee #13, when Palantir was one of Silicon Valley’s freakshows: a small and somewhat demented chickenhawk of a startup with a buggy demo and no customers. For 20 years, largely from the shadows, he has brute forced it into the spearhead of "defense tech" and a $320 billion company. He embedded with intelligence analysts in Virginia, special operators in Iraq and Afghanistan, and on the factory floors of some of the world’s biggest companies—building and rebuilding software in the field, sometimes with phones taped to his head so he could give and take feedback while keeping his hands free to code. He invented the “Forward Deployed Engineer,” which has since become the object of both skepticism and imitation. Alex Karp, Palantir's mercurial co-founder and CEO, says the company would not exist without him. The same can be said of the modern defense tech industry, many of whose founders cut their teeth working for Shyam. In this deeply reported profile, @JeremySternLA tells the story of the most pivotal but hidden figure behind America’s most controversial company. He also gives the clearest explanation you'll read of what Palantir actually does, whether its valuation is justified or absurd, and what any of this has to do with the company’s mission to save Western civilization. It begins in the Grand Ballroom of The Pierre hotel and winds through Nigeria and India, Florida and California, Iraq and Afghanistan. It ends with a rabbi, a monkey, and a lesson in what it means to buy time in the face of a coming fire. Only in Colossus:

"A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance." — Hunter S. Thompson

@thegarrettscott @doanythingapp This is mind blowing. Cool post, thanks for the share.

I 100% believe Gemini Pro 3.1 can one-shot a coffee shop into existence. Yesterday I ran our "Open and run a coffee shop in SF" benchmark with Gemini Pro 3.1 on @doanythingapp. This morning it reached out to me with a status update that included: - a location ready that it already discussed with a broker - a brand/site - a weeks worth of Instagram posts ready - actively talking with a bank about an SBA loan terms - LLC ready to file - An full plan to get open with full financials - Found and reached out to investors - Emailed the city for permit guidance - Came up with a ton of creative ideas that make the coffeeshop one I'd actually want to go to - Plan to survey the neighborhood for feedback It's the first model that I'm confidant will achieve the benchmark. Starting a few more agents with the same task in different cities, and will post an update on their performance as they continue to work.
