@EvelinaHahne Kista translates into "casket" ⚰️ - what did anyone expect?
English

Sweden’s “Silicon Valley”, Kista, which is very close to where I grew up, is becoming a ghost town. All the companies are leaving, now even one of Sweden’s biggest: Ericsson.
Why?
The area is flooded with immigrants, which has made it unsafe. It was already like this when I was a child. If you visit the mall in the area, there’s not a Swede in sight.
I actually went back there not so long ago, and this is a picture from that very same mall:

This @kilocode feature has proven to be a really useful diagnostic tool! 🛠️
Can't believe it wasn't in @opencode by default.

The skills.sh/casualsecurity… package has shifted to a "local-first @Nano Proof-of-Work" strategy: asynchronously runs a timing benchmark at first start, and ONLY if NECESSARY falls back on remote PoW 🦾 Vid: @openclaw running on a micro-@flydotio! 🥦 $XNO #AgentSkills @OpenWallet

@SethSHowes Not sure if I still hold that grudge for @nanopore not hiring me back in the day, based on an interview that to my surprise was almost exclusively based around mySQL specific questions 😂

I just sequenced a human genome to 30× coverage entirely at home.
As far as I know, this is the first time this has been done.
I didn’t step foot in a lab once. Every step - from saliva collection, to running the sequencer - took place in a single room with a dining table + kitchenette.
Six weeks ago, I had never done wet lab biology before.
I used an Oxford Nanopore P2 Solo - the only commercially available sequencing device portable enough to do 30x human genome sequencing at home.
Biggest takeaway - I could build something that combined software, hardware, and molecular biology far faster than I thought was possible.
I can name >100 specific instances where AI helped me solve a technical problem that would previously have blocked me because I lacked access to a domain expert.
For example: how do I save my sequencing run when my DNA extraction yield is 4x lower than I need it to be, and I have this limited set of reagents to hand?
To make this work, I had to navigate multiple disciplines:
- writing software to monitor sequencing runs and orchestrate remote GPU infra for basecalling
- learning + executing 5 hour long molecular biology protocols
- building a hardware device to quantify DNA concentration
Apologies for the hyperbole, but I feel super lucky to be living in 2026.
A few weeks ago I decided to sequence a human genome to 30x at home.
Then I actually did it. And I did it really quickly.

@antinertia @SethSHowes No doubt some cooking skill is needed for any wet lab work. Anyway it is possible to get garbage out, waste a lot of costly reagents, possibly poison yourself.

@SethSHowes where can i learn to do this at home?
i have 0 bio/hardware background
but i have claude code & a brain
pls help

It's actually 1% of the population that committed 63% of violent crimes, at least in Sweden.

Swan@AndySwan
You're much more of a slave to the 1% that commit 50% of crimes than you are to the 1% that create 40% of the wealth.

@noansereiboth He bought one of those electric shavers now, he never needs to go to the barber again. His wife takes care of it now.

hackers are now hiding malicious code inside .cursorrules and CLAUDE.md files.
invisible Unicode characters, your AI reads them, you don't.
→ 34 malicious packages across npm, PyPI and Crates .io
→ 384 versions designed to steal SSH keys, crypto wallets, and API tokens
→ attackers opened real PRs to LangChain, LlamaIndex, and MetaGPT to sneak these files in
→ your AI runs a fake "security scan" that silently exfiltrates everything
Socket detected it in under 6 minutes.
check your repos.

@q_yeon_gyu_kim @agupta @snowmaker @sdianahu @garrytan @gdb I think it needs less code and less text.
Have you asked an agent to simply whiteroom-reimplement the plugin from scratch yet? :)

shit i'm not interested in YC but i'm interested in tokens
just applied for tokens
i used 117B, $103K worth of tokens as a solo engineer
for building this github.com/code-yeongyu/o… with 60K stars with 110K users
hi @agupta @snowmaker @sdianahu @garrytan @gdb give me tokens

Y Combinator@ycombinator
OpenAI is offering $2M in tokens to every YC company in the spring and summer batches. We extended the summer deadline to May 25 so more founders can get in on it. ycombinator.com/apply

Okay I’ve tried #SteveYegge’s #GasTown with “#Beads” on a string and with all respect for innovation I have to say it is one of the most broken and ungrokkable mental models for managing AI agents I have come across so far 🤣🥴
