@paper @marcelkargul Don’t try paper, because the free tier lasts about twenty minutes of use

@marcelkargul Try Paper! Our html/css based canvas means agents already speak the same language.

we’ve been using figma MCP + claude code for design → code it’s not perfect and still needs a fair bit of polishing but it’s sped up our dev process by ~50% 😁

@HotAisle @itskevin Because u can change ten grand for basic paperwork. Massive margins

@itskevin A shit ton too many.

My main takeaway from the Delve saga is there’s a shit ton of SOC 2 startups

Given how Vanta is also a scam, this has to be the best advert for Delve. At least Delve is fast

@kakashiii111 Good work

Today, my work over the years received another validation. The DoJ, together with the FBI, announced charges against three executives of SuperMicro (SMCI) for Conspiracy to Violate the Export Control Reform Act. Since at least early 2024, SMCI's executives built a sophisticated, systematic scheme to illegally divert billions of dollars worth of high-performance AI servers containing restricted Nvidia GPUs to China, using a pass-through company in Southeast Asia to evade U.S. export controls. I was the first to call out this smuggling phenomenon in late 2023, when it was just beginning to pick up volume. I tracked the flow of chips across Southeast Asia, including their final destinations in China, and identified the key participants, SMCI among them, documenting how the sophisticated, systemic scheme operated. What the DoJ described in its charging documents is precisely what I wrote about numerous times: the mechanics of how it works, the routes the GPUs travel from origin to their final destination in China, and the volume of the smuggling, which I estimated at tens of billions of dollars worth of GPUs. SMCI is a significant catch, but it is far from the only player in this smuggling ecosystem. Others remain uncharged. What has been equally troubling is that many companies, including public companies and their executives, have had knowing or willful blindness to this phenomenon, looking the other way in order to hit sales targets and meet Wall Street estimates. Meanwhile, the smuggling network has evolved in parallel with one of the fastest datacenter buildouts in Southeast Asia, involving numerous subsidiaries, local companies, and datacenter operators who have absorbed every lesson from the smuggling playbook and are now working around the clock to build a datacenter empire across the SEA region.

Incumbents are definitely copying startups @rentahumandotai @lessin

@varunram “Agent Native Product”… just a sandbox

Cursor's new "Glass UI" is.. just a terminal

@martin_casado Hey @michaelfreedman this works with ANY Postgres right?

@martin_casado I might use it instead of s3

This is really, really cool. Sort of the file system equivalent of the agent sandbox environments. Imma use it for my setup ...

@varunram Is that true? I may be in a bubble but know a ton of devs still getting paid the same to vibe code for 1 hr a day and getting 400k. Mainly because their companies are run by AI illiterates. Can’t be isolated cases though

We're getting close to a future where people make more money from cooking and cleaning dishes at home than they do from their day job at work

@fleetingbits Still 100x cheaper than a FAANG engineer

something interesting is that employees are going to become much more productive, but also much more capital intensive so like, a 10x engineer might now be a 20x engineer, but you are going to have to capitalize each individual engineer quite a bit more

@varunram Can JPM and Visa just fucking release a cli? Shouldn’t be that hard. Are they this regarded? Stripe shouldn’t be winning this market

Agentic Commerce unfortunately is shaping up to become exactly like MCP. Way too many protocols and capital, not many implementing or using it in meaningful ways

@stephenhaney The free tier of Paper was laughably tiny, had to switch to an alternative that launched last week :)

Incredible to hear people say “Paper is the default canvas for this new era of human <> agent collaboration.”, that’s exactly what we hope to make!

@jaminball @inngest Go with Temporal. That’s the gold standard

Production quality, durable agents use @inngest

@varunram Your hand crafted UX is my opportunity (to rip off)

Google is great at indexing the web and the best at reading and generating images, so they could come up with a really good coding model for frontend designers where most engineers screenshot and paste things into claude code / codex

@emkara @ycombinator How many of these companies exist

Introducing Mothership, the first workspace for AI agents. Mothership is the central intelligence layer for your AI workforce. Autonomous agents, fully observable and editable. Check out what Mothership can do below.

@tokengobbler Hmm, vibekanban is almost there as a factory, just need an agent for managing kanban

Before we get code factories, we'll get exoskeletons. Agents are still force multipliers. When a human stops working, so do their agents. Factories run 24/7.

@kevinkern Why not use a structured db for task management

codex simple planr github.com/regenrek/codex…

codex often marks tasks as finished even when some of the work is still left, so I added a simple task system to my project. It doesn't need much, so a few skills help here. simple: plan -> fix -> review -> fix -> summary code in the comments below

@skalskip92 Is this the sota model nowadays ?

5 years ago I was using tesseract for OCR - nothing but pain - hard to set up - required model tuning for every font and alphabet - results were so much worst especially for noisy images it blows my mind what we can do this days

@juecd__ @1Password Does this not trigger security warnings? Also how does this differ from being logged in truly as “you” in chrome let’s say

We’ve partnered with @1Password to take the next step toward solving authentication for agents. Last month, we introduced Managed Auth: a standardized way for agents to log in and stay logged in across the internet. With this partnership, your agents can now use credentials directly from your 1Password vaults with Managed Auth.
