exceited to announce that @memorydotstore is part of the @ycombinator P26 batch 🟧 with @kul and @t_blom as our partners
one shared memory for your team's agents!
if you are building agents and think memory, talk to @IshitaJindal17 and I

there's a very funny motte and bailey you see sometimes re: computational functionalism where the motte is "all causal processes can be reduced to computation, thus consciousness must be reducible to computation"
but then the bailey is "claude feels pain because he says ouch"

maybe i'm just getting older, but is the state of long-form video just a bunch of random guys doing random things in their day while being followed along by a camera guy now?
i miss the old long-form era of daily vlogs, travel videos and infotainment. i grew up watching @casey and louis cole and @johnnywharris (he's still crushing) and @MrBenBrown and @samkolder and @Dannmace and @AlfieDeyes and @petermckinnon and @tweetsauce and @saradietschy and so many more.
each and every one from that era is still crushing it in their own thing.
i just miss the era of youtube when the tech had caught up with the appetite to create and consume. storytelling was fully liberated, and everyone with a camera took it upon themselves to create art, never settling for mediocrity, and made digital artefacts that would impact a whole generation of people who followed them.

sadly, a cronjob + llm API call replaces 95% of what ppl use agents for

I think if you want to make a new tech show you need to do something very different. At a minimum veer wildly off the interview circuit of the same 100 people 1000 times. Right now it's like recreating the inbred dullness of the old media from scratch.

these takes are so insincere. do you know the kind of thinking it requires to build an agent workflow and refine it to the point it one shots 80-90% output? it’s a lot, and that’s where all the thinking is going. you don’t just “ask claude” to produce some complex artifact.
huss@hussamfyi
the tech industry has lost the plot man. where is the thinking happening? when you throw a bunch of context at claude and ask it to produce some artifact, whether it’s a “design” or a “prd”, you’re completely disconnected from the invisible but critical work of translating fuzziness into something coherent. the outputs aren’t yours. you’ve lost the mind-body connection to the artifact. you’re running blind. what’s the point? to move faster?

We were the media partners for Hyrox Bengaluru. Spent 2 days filming it with a 30-member crew.
Calling it “validation” misses the point entirely.
Here’s what we actually saw:
- We captured a marriage proposal on the race floor.
- Athletes finishing together with tears
- First-timers who trained 6 months for this one day.
- Couples racing together.
- Colleagues showing up in matching kits.
- Coaches running alongside clients they’d trained for half a year.
- People with disabilities finishing the race while the whole venue stopped to cheer them on.
₹9K isn’t for the race alone. It’s for the experience.
For decades, sport in India meant sitting on a couch watching cricket. Someone else playing, someone else winning. At Hyrox, you’re the one on the floor. The 9,000 people paying ₹9K to participate tells you exactly how starved this country was for it.
If fitness becomes the new status signal, that’s a massive win for society. We’ve spent decades flexing cars, watches, handbags. If the new flex is - I trained 6 months to finish a Hyrox. I feel that’s the healthiest status game this country has ever played.

HYROX fitness event in Bengaluru saw around 9,000 participants. They charged ₹9,000 per person to participate, which comes to roughly ₹8.1 crore made in a single day. Same trend is showing up in marathons. People are paying ₹3,000–₹5,000 just to run for a day. Being fit is good. But why are people spending this much on a one-day event? It feels less about fitness and more about validation.

once the particle system was in place, the next step was locking the composition.
→ camera angle and lens. level of sight.
→ light and time of day. warmth, shadows, depth.
→ depth of field. aperture, focal length.

it started with an underestimation of grass. the fundamental difference between a static composition and an interactive environment is that you don't just visualise it in the most obvious sense. okay, meadow, hills, curves, depth, shadows, colour, time of day. you think about it in permutations. what if i move my hand through it. what if there's a sunset. what if there's a slight wind. what happens to the grass that's far away. what happens to the grass right in front of me. and when you start thinking like that, you realise very quickly that you have underestimated grass. our team spent an unexplainable amount of time perfecting this singular piece of the entire web experience. attention to detail, care for micro interactions, that's the fundamental difference between a website and a web experience. technically: > started with a model grass from the blender library. but it's almost impossible to animate model grass with the kind of variables we needed. > so instead of treating it as singular strands, we treated the grass as particle systems. each particle responding and reacting to wind, shadow, light, depth, and user interaction independently.
