@BajorBlue @aladetai @HalfwayPost I wouldn’t stoop down to his level personally, but we don’t have to tolerate Trumps behaviour like any other bully. Respect is earned. Trump Is imo the worlds best conman.

@aladetai @__SGS__X @HalfwayPost Trump is constantly uncivil and impolite. His actions attitude and behavior deserve the same in turn.

BREAKING: For the first time a journalist has reportedly told Donald Trump on a phone call, “Every single claim you have made about this war has been proven a lie within hours, and I will not be publishing anything you’ve told me today.”

@aladetai @timfris @HalfwayPost Best to ignore them.

@timfris @HalfwayPost This is a public app and f word is not a good public phrase

@A_TOWNCRIER @aladetai @timfris @HalfwayPost You’ve set the bar pretty low already.

@aladetai @timfris @HalfwayPost This is not Nigeria, is it US. Don’t bring your under developed Africa mentality to foreign discourse

@aladetai @HalfwayPost Agreed, what the office “deserves”.

@__SGS__X @HalfwayPost Yes you are right but they should do all that with civility and politeness the office deserves

@aladetai @HalfwayPost A journalist’s primary responsibility is to truth and accurate reporting, not deference to power.

@HalfwayPost No journalist should say those words to POTUS even when it's right

@browomo All propaganda to buy shares. EVEN if it were true, it’s nothing special, everyone can now do it, even the small business, the skill has been devalued. Nonsense post.

This Chinese guy created agents in Claude Code for landing pages and single-handedly serves 47 small businesses a month, taking $400 from each. He built a system of 7 agents on Claude Sonnet 4.6 that analyzes Google Maps in small towns, finds small businesses without websites there, and over 1 weekend takes each one to a finished mockup with video and cold message. No assistant, no sales team, no SDR. Just him, a MacBook, an iPhone, and 1 API key. And traditional web design agencies keep teams of 8 people on salary for the same order flow, while his expenses are only tokens and subscriptions to Lovable, Higgsfield, and Calendly. 7 agents work through 1 orchestrator on Claude Code Router. Usage is about 3 million tokens a day, the average API bill is about $480 a month. All 7 go through MCP servers and write shared state to the file system, without shared state in memory and without race conditions, and 1 of them lives right in the iPhone and picks up positive replies from the subway, a taxi, or on walks. And here is the system prompt he put into the orchestrator before launch: "You are the orchestrator of a solo agency that sells ready-made websites to local businesses. You delegate read-only tasks to 6 sub-agents and own all writes. sub-agents: // Scout (walks through Google Maps in selected cities, looks for narrow niches: 5+ years on the map, fewer than 50 reviews, no website or a website from 2014, but high ratings) // Diagnoser (for each lead writes a 50-word diagnosis, hero angle, tone matched to the industry, and a cold message under 70 words) // Builder (generates a landing page mockup in Lovable through MCP only for the top 5 leads per day, with the sharpest diagnoses and the biggest gap) // Filmer (pulls 5 screenshots of the mockup and through Higgsfield renders a 10-second vertical video 1080x1920 with a soft zoom) // Pitcher (sends a personalized cold message through the right channel for the niche: email to roofers, SMS to tradesmen, IG DM to salons, LinkedIn to realtors) // Checker (runs every message through evals for personalization, absence of AI markers and buzzwords before sending) // Mobile (lives in the iPhone, handles positive replies in real time, books Zoom calls in Calendly through MCP while the owner is on the go). You never let 2 sub-agents touch 1 lead. You stop and request approval from the human only when a deal exceeds $3,000 or the reply rate in a niche for the day drops below 12%." Meaning the system knows what it is and within what boundaries it is allowed to act. It knows it is supposed to find leads on its own. It knows it is supposed to take each one to a mockup, video, and cold message without intervention. It knows the human only steps in when a deal goes above $3,000 or the reply rate stops converging. → The system runs 24 hours a day → Scout goes through about 220 local businesses on Google Maps per day and leaves 30 new leads in the queue → Diagnoser outputs 30 structured diagnoses + briefs + cold messages per day → Builder assembles 3 to 5 finished landing pages in Lovable for the sharpest leads → Filmer renders a 10-second vertical video in Higgsfield for each one → Pitcher sends 30 personalized messages per day across 4 channels with a reply rate of about 14% → Checker runs every message through evals before sending And only when a deal breaks $3,000 or the reply rate for the day drops below 12% does the orchestrator wake the owner. And when the owner at that moment is sitting in the subway or a taxi, the Mobile agent in his iPhone picks up 1 move on its own: replies to a fresh positive reply from a dentist, books a Zoom through Calendly synced to the local time of the client, and puts the lead back in the queue. The owner only has to tap "approve" and in just 10 minutes join the call. Here is what the system writes in his log during 1 of the Saturdays: "scout report: 218 businesses checked in Austin, Denver, and Miami, 34 without a website, 19 with a website from 2014, 6 with an active redesign request in reviews. passing top 30 to diagnoser." "pitcher: 30 cold messages sent across 4 channels, 14 replies, 5 positive, 3 Zoom calls booked for Sunday. passing to closer." "builder: landing page for Westside Cosmetic Dentistry built in Lovable, 5 sections, mobile, soft beige. URL placed at /Users/dev/maps-agency/clients/westside/v1. filmer launching Higgsfield." "eval flag: deal with The Lotus Salon at $3,400 exceeds the approved limit of $3,000. sending for manual review." He has no server of his own and no separate backend. Just a local file sandbox at /Users/dev/maps-agency, an MCP router, 1 API key to Claude, and the same key forwarded to Claude Code on his iPhone. Out of everything I have seen this year, this is the cleanest one-person agency for selling websites to small businesses: $480 a month on the API, about $18,800 into the account, and between them 7 prompts, 1 file system, and 1 phone in the pocket.

@Nigel_Farage You’ve benefited from people in difficult financial situation, advised the rich on how to doge tax, when do you just have enough money and stop destroying the UK?

If you vote Reform you will not have an illegal migrant deportation facility in your area. We will hold migrants awaiting deportation in constituencies that vote Green instead. You get what you vote for.

@dowellml @taracdennehy I’m starting to hate the Omnipod, just lots of points of failure.

@taracdennehy I’ll prob dig through Reddit to see where people are wearing it. I have never worn my Dexcom anywhere but on my thigh. It works there and pods do not, so that has worked for me. My Dexcom trainer told me, “it’s not approved but lots of people do it.”

I don’t want to wear my Dexcom G7 on my arm. And probably won’t. Seems they “linked” the Omnipod and Dexcom except both companies keep announcing requirements (same side of body, Dexcom on arm) that make insertion point rotation very difficult. Do they care? Nope, not at all.

@codewithpri This statement runs true. There is a huge learning curve, it’s not polished, you do spend a lot of time understanding how to use it.

Linux is only free if your time has no value.

@myomnipod @KelseaWebbx @FreeStyleDiabet I just spoke to your team, you canceled my pod order. Your representative was shocked. You didn’t go through my diabetic care team, or NHS who pay for this and left me with three pods waiting for the order. You didn’t confirm anything with me. Disgraceful and unprofessional.

@__SGS__X @KelseaWebbx @FreeStyleDiabet Our team would like to talk to you directly and get more details. Please message us with your legal name, phone number and date of birth for verification, and our team will reach out as soon as possible.

Byebye to 20 years of insulin injections and Hello omnipod 5 insulin pump ✨ Here’s to a new beginning in my lifestyle @myomnipod @FreeStyleDiabet #type1diabetic #insulinpump #t1d

@Nigel_Farage Well done. You know you should be there right, doing your job?

Sorry to disappoint, but I am in Clacton right now. 👋

@Nigel_Farage Some great anagrams of Nigel Farage… finger algae, a raging flee, and a fear niggle

The message from Wales is clear. Get Starmer Out!

@fieryseahorse @BobGresley @MichaelRosenYes Only 10, 100x! Bob, how very unBritish of you, not an English gentleman at all, might be worth reassessing who you’ve become, you seem to be very angry to me.

@BobGresley @MichaelRosenYes He is English. And was the children’s laureate. Bob, you may have shown your lack of literacy. Leave @MichaelRosenYes alone. He’s worth 10 of you.

Ha! I’ve just been refused entry onto a plane from Stansted to Bologna because my passport issue date is March 2016. The expiry date is August 2026 but the rule is 10 years from issue date. Another Brexit benefit. Apparently. Go home now.

This taxi driver in Hong Kong is running a more sophisticated demand aggregation system than most Series A startups. 10+ phones. Each one logged into a different ride-hailing app. Uber, DiDi, HKTaxi, Lalamove, maybe six more. He's not confused. He's running a multi-platform arbitrage operation from the driver's seat. The math makes it rational. Average taxi fare in HK is about HK$80. Dead time between rides kills daily revenue. If a second phone catches even 3 extra rides per shift, that's HK$240 per day, HK$7,200 per month. A used Android costs HK$500. ROI in 3 days. Each additional phone has the same payback math until the marginal ride probability drops below the SIM card cost. He's solving the same cold start problem that cost Uber $25 billion in driver incentives, except he solved it for HK$5,000 in phones and some dashboard tape. Every ride-hailing platform spent billions trying to lock in supply-side exclusivity. This guy just made himself available on all of them simultaneously and let the platforms compete for him. The platforms wanted a monopoly on drivers. The drivers built a personal marketplace instead.

@NoContextHumans What’s the context?

@sama You missed one

The guy who helped build React, the most popular workaround for the browser's layout engine, just said the workaround isn't sufficient and built the replacement himself. Cheng Lou's resume is the context that makes this announcement hit different. He worked on React at Facebook. Created ReasonML and ReScript. Built Messenger's frontend. Now runs Midjourney's entire UI stack on Bun. Every single role was a fight against the same enemy: the browser's rendering pipeline. Here's why this matters beyond the engineering flex. The web was built to render documents. Static HTML, flowing text, pages you scroll through. CSS layout was designed for that world. Then we started building applications inside the document renderer: spreadsheets, design tools, messaging apps, AI chat interfaces. Every one of those applications has to ask the browser permission to know how big text is. That question triggers reflow. Reflow locks the main thread. At 60fps you get 16 milliseconds per frame. Spend those milliseconds on layout recalculation and the user sees jank. The industry's answer for the last decade has been to work around the problem. Virtual DOM (React) batches the writes. CSS containment limits the blast radius. content-visibility skips offscreen layout. FastDOM separates reads from writes. Every solution accepts that the browser owns text measurement and tries to call it less often. Cheng Lou's answer: stop calling it at all. Measure text in pure TypeScript. Skip the DOM. Skip CSS. Skip reflow entirely. Zero layout passes. The performance improvement, per his demo, is categorical. 0.05ms versus 30ms. Zero reflows versus five hundred. The person who understands the browser rendering pipeline better than almost anyone alive just built the tool that makes part of it unnecessary. That tells you where application-grade UI is heading.
