Hobby project tweet - I built an app to control my home on KNX (ugh!) using Antigravity and Gemini 3 flash - If you are unlucky enough to have your home on KNX, you know it´s a mess to make changes. You have to call a KNX-programmer who charges $100/hr to make changes with old tools and poor UI. If you want to have a mobile app that makes it slightly easier for you to control lights, then it will probably cost you +$10 000 for hardware, software and license fees, but even then you´re limited with crappy stuff. Or you could spend money on Home Assistant and try to build scripts which are SUPER messy and almost impossible (I´ve spent a lot of time with HA). It´s not convenient at all! So last night I wondered if I could build this in Antigravity but would it really know how KNX works? Do I need special hardware for this? I wanted to build an elegant dashboard for mobile/pc that I can simply modify by creating new floors, rooms, light groups (like night mode) and other cool features that I´ve felt I need. So I tried it with Antigravity+Gemini on my PC, and to my surprise, it started to learn how the KNX protocol works, it installed relevant C++ modules, it pinged my local network to find all the KNX devices, and started to sort them beautifully in a simple dashboard. I was surprised how simple it was for it to figure it all out. Just finding everything on the network was a big surprise! However, when I tried to turn on a lamp it didn´t work, so it started to troubleshoot why the KNX telegrams didn´t reach the KNX endpoint and it tried re-formatting the IP-addresses and eventually it figured it out. The telegram packages were sent, received and ack. What took me an hour to build would probably take a month to do manually, no doubt! And it built everything locally on my computer which I will later deploy on a mini PC at home. Just buying a KNX license to read your system costs $5000. Gemini did it all by itself! I´m amazed what stuff you can build locally on your machine with tools like Antigravity, Cursor and other IDEs, and how it can quickly learn how to communicate with other devices on the same network. At some point, my project might be mature and modular enough for me to just publish the project for anyone to use. The future looks VERY interesting!

Here's a bit of a hot take. Despite having TRAI CNAP, I still use Truecaller, because I find the actual spam call alert detection to be better on the latter platform. And also, since CNAP uses KYC, it's not always necessary that the name matches up with the person who's actually calling: I've faced this with a few important calls, and can sometimes lead to wrong missed calls. Truecaller is more accurate in this sense too, for now. CNAP is a step in the right direction and I welcome it, but still needs refinement to actually filter out spam calls better. I hope TRAI can improve it in the future for this purpose.

Tech experts at Truecaller say that in one recent month, more than 80 million spam calls hit Illinois residents, and more than four million spam texts flooded phones. Nationwide, Americans are getting hit with 2.8 billion spam calls a month, averaging about eight spam calls per person. abc7chicago.com/post/quick-tip…

Word! Jerry was an incredible coach and supporter to me and @Zarringhalam for more than 10 years. He knows the game better than anyone else and helped us navigate in world of pure psychology, raising VC money. Thanks for being so generous with your time all those years. Your tough love was exactly what we needed. So many stories to tell! Always grateful, Jerry! ♥️ He once said, “Founders always stop answering calls from their VCs once they become profitable.” So true! 😂 Photo taken at Balzac in Stockholm, 2019. Jerry came over to have dinner with us and brought his own bottle of wine, not knowing you’re not allowed to do that. Memorable moment regardless.

Not much of a surprise as most VC FIRMS have abandoned the “not funding competitors” promise , except when it suits a given partner who wants to use that logic as a way of saying no to a prospect.

This holiday season alone (last couple of weeks), @Truecaller blocked a staggering 89 crore (890 million) spam calls from ringing people's phones. Saving 600-700 million minutes of precious time off for everyone!

Tur att alla i Sverige inte har den här nedlåtande inställningen för då hade vi aldrig varit ett innovationsrikt land. Folk jobbar inte hårt för att bli miljardärer, de jobbar hårt för att nå sin vision och dröm, @dadgostarnooshi. Det ekonomiska utfallet brukar bli ett resultat utav det. Självklart betalas det en massa skatt på vägen dit och det ska alla göra för annars går ju inte landet runt om alla var politiker. Med fri tillgång till utbildning och fantastiska förebilder så vill jag kalla Sverige för "the land of opportunity". Allt är möjligt i Sverige, oavsett bakgrund. Heey, man kan till och med bli partiledare om man vill! Gott nytt år folk! Nu ser vi fram emot ett 2026 med fler framgångsrika entreprenörer som fortsatt sätter Sverige på världskartan!

När bedrägerierna ökar svarar allt färre på okända nummer i telefonen. Det vill barndomsvännerna Agnes Lindberg och Martin Carlsson ändra på. Genom sitt samarbete vill de få fler att våga lyfta luren. En Sifo-undersökning som företaget Truecaller gjorde i våras visar att sju av tio svenskar upplever oro, obehag eller irritation när de får okända samtal. Samtidigt har kampanjer som Svårlurad gjort många medvetna om riskerna med telefonbedrägerier. Länk på nästa tweet
