We really outdid ourselves with the ice sculpture at the cofounder 2 launch party

@SoxTranslator I’ll never forget when we did a suicide squeeze on my HS jv team and the kid took the pitch

Cofounder 2 launches on May 4th.

every idea is a journey waiting to happen. start something

@DerekFeehrer Codex just wants to grind osrs levels

i like to let codex train on lvl 2 goblins in lumby in between tasks, as a treat

@dggoldst I genuinely think the silver line bus drivers could also drive F1. I have no idea how they get those buses through those tunnels without wrecking them every turn

Clever thing they do in Boston: They make the bus to the airport seem like a train. You transfer from the train. It looks like it's running on train tracks. Addresses that whole "oh no I don't want to transfer to a bus" anxiety.

@jxnlco Are you riding with no hands? How did you record this? lol

When you gotta bike home from work but your codex needs to finish a task.

@katmcguir3 Company swag

no i cannot explain what a chief of staff does to you but what i can tell you is that you will probably need a forklift license

Building beautiful products in a beautiful office

Turns out there are AI startups in NYC? VTV (@vercel TV) Cribs Ep 3 with @intelligenceco @ndrewpignanelli You need to be plantmaxxing 🌻

@kr0der xhigh so far. 5.5. seems to avoid the overthinking that 5.4 would do on xhigh

now that it's been ~1 day of GPT 5.5, what reasoning level are you guys sticking with?

Hands down, the worst search box I've ever used. This is me trying to open Text Replacements in settings

@sickdotdev Not quite my prompt

when Claude already wrote like 3k lines of code and I notice an error on my prompt

At GIC, every Friday we do a rotating knowledge share from one person in the company. Most often, an engineer will just present their dev workflow. These sessions alone have 10x'ed my local dev setup. Try it, ask your coworker how they work, you'll learn so much

"If you really have one takeaway for agent implementation, it's that you should build a system that can observe itself." @KhareAbhishyant from the @intelligenceco at PyAI on building multi-agent systems that don't fall apart in production. Three things you have to get right: 1. Agents control the full lifecycle of their sub-agents 2. Delegation is async. Timeouts are non-negotiable 3. Agents should observe themselves. Query your own Logfire traces, grep your child logs. Talk in thread 👇

@creatine_cycle her: how is your food? me: hold on, let me ask claude

holy date mogged

@KentMurphy Catcher should probably know the batter will want to go to 3B, so the 3B is probably crashing. But 3B made a super heads up play regardless.

2-5-3 putout is a thing of beauty

Paper: arxiv.org/html/2510.0139…

A few days ago, the NYT Daily covered this fascinating paper: "Sycophantic AI Decreases Prosocial Intentions and Promotes Dependence" (link below). I downloaded the dataset and put up a repo to see the model responses for r/AITA posts. And wow, I'm surprised at how easily models will agree with you on social matters. Calibrate yourself. Great research from the Stanford team
