For the Hong Kong Fire, we built an open, centralised database to preserve all verifiable information, news reports, footage, technical analyses, contractor details, volunteer/community support records, official responses, and follow-up developments.

@shengkun_ye @fdotinc goat

six weeks ago, i quit my job. then things started moving crazy fast. we got into @fdotinc in our second week. started launching every day. got our first paying customer. our paying customers keep topping up. got our first check, then the second. every day there’s so much going on. all your energy and emotions get compressed. before you can react, the next thing hits. there are ups and downs. sometimes it’s exhausting. but i love it. i love that life can hold so much more in the same amount of time. and i love being a founder.

@fdotinc squid gameee

Introducing the Canopy graduating class. 120 teams across software, hardware, and creators. After flying to San Francisco from 103 countries, they've spent the past 5 weeks building from our campus and they've made amazing things: - Autonomous underwater work robots. - World models for spatial reasoning. - Drones that charge themselves on power lines. - The fastest photo to 3D model tool ever. - A full-stack OS for physical AI. - Drones that launch as rockets & land with precision. - Private RL worlds for frontier agents. - Provable outputs for black-box AI. - A tool that cuts LLM bills 20x with tiny models. - Insurance for AI agents. - Infinite connections for agentic payments. - Cloud storage for agents/humans that needs 0 upload. - The muscle layer for every AI agent. - Smart glasses for industrial workflows. - Advanced touch screens built for Ferraris. - Camera earbud wearables - The first smart pregnancy wearable. - A headband that forces you into deep sleep. - Foundation models for human behavior. - Frontier models that detect tumors and there's 100 more... too many to just list here, So tomorrow, we're opening up our campus. The same place they've been working out of for the past 5 weeks, so that they can show you everything they've built Some are at $1M ARR, decided to move to San Francisco full-time, & are ready for their life's mission Some have joined our portfolio, & will continue building out of our campus until they become unicorns. All 200 of these founders are the world's freshest and brightest minds here to tackle real problems. We're very proud to introduce them to you tomorrow: RSVP @ luma .com/festival

@joypbuilds @fdotinc yesss

i flew from korea to sf for @fdotinc i already got to meet so many amazing people in the past 24 hours no wonder ppl say move to sf * side note: i found out that switching time zones mess up the dates on my app.. will fix this

@daleverett linkedin lunatic

Today I connected with a LinkedIn influencer 😊

@squirtleinhk im muting all arsenal friends

It doesn’t feel real

@joypbuilds love itttt

i made an app for no pressure vlogging introducing stitch, the app that turns your daily clips into a mini-vlog (because i can't with the editing) if you've always wanted to make vlogs, but don't wanna deal with the hassle, i got u stitch: mini-vlog journal

@ycombinator @insforge @hanghuang_ letssss go

.@InsForge turns your coding agent into a principal backend engineer. Backend servers, database, LLM gateway, frontend deployment, and more. Every primitive built for how coding agents actually work, so they can run your entire infrastructure. Congrats on the launch, @hanghuang_ & @tonychang430! ycombinator.com/launches/QP6-i…

@letsbuilddd @fdotinc LFGGGG

@fdotinc is flying us out for canopy demo day LFGGGGGG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@daleverett @iliakakhadze @daltonmeon @damienhe @evokoa_ai @insforge @supabase @neondatabase LFGGGG

Today, we’re launching pgGraph: an Apache open-source graph traversal engine for Postgres, written in Rust 🦀 When we started Evokoa, we kept running into the same wall every serious agent team eventually hits: > Agents need to reason across relationships. > But graph DBs are expensive AF, and suck to use. So, we built pgGraph around a simple, single idea: Postgres should stay the source of truth, and the graph engine should live beside it. pgGraph does something different. > It keeps the rows in Postgres, > Compiles the topology around them, > Creates a virtual graph layer using CSR-style adjacency arrays. We're making your existing postgres database graph-traversable for agents without any of the usual BS. > No recursive join hell. > No ETL pipeline. > No second source of truth. > Blazing fast performance pgGraph is already live in production workflows across RevOps, healthcare, and visa services. We’re open-sourcing it because graph traversal should become a default primitive in the agent stack, not an enterprise migration project. Treat Postgres as a graph. Zero data migration. This is what Apache AGE should have been. Docs + Repo below.

@fdotinc Loveeee it

4 weeks ago we brought 200 founders to our campus They came from all over the world. Japan, India, Russia, Korea, New Jersey, Canada & 30+ other countries They've built: - Autonomous solar farm maintenance robots - Hearing aids that cost $20 instead of $4700 - Protein engineering that costs $10K instead of $200K - An autonomous retention engine for companies - An algorithm that finds tumors - Insurance for AI agents - Disk free infinite cloud storage that requires no upload - A headband that amplifies your REM sleep brainwaves - AI that finds & schedules the best talent for interviews - Robots that stock retail shops - Underwater drones to clean fish farms & about 100 more ambitious companies like this. Next Friday we're hosting a Festival/Demo Day to showcase their progress and celebrate startups solving real problems. We believe in founders that care, are obsessed with their solution, & never stop relentlessly building. If you feel the same way. Come through lu. ma/Festival

hi a friend pinged me about this. for context: - 45 ppl including me were selected by google deepmind for google summer of code (gsoc) - some of us shared the same mentor (employee at gdm), and were told that we are allowed to list “open source developer at google deepmind” / “prev. google deepmind” but not as “intern” - based on the guideline i listed “developer at gdm” on my linkedin and resume (mentioned it under gsoc), told everyone this was through gsoc and this passed the reference check for internship at xAI, nvidia and apple. did seek approval beforehand so I believed this was acceptable. hope this clears things up and reassures people that there was no intent to misrepresent anything.

@SinghJyotirmai there's a prominent poaster who did a Google Summer of Code project and lists themselves as prev. Deepmind

X is full of people laundering resume prestige through the thinnest possible affiliations. Many such cases.

@kas__vegas the partner told it at the end of the 10 mins interview

@haileyhmt Where did it say “due to political change” in your rejection? Maybe it’s just not in your pictures that you posted or I’m just missing something…?

rejected by a16z speedrun officially - citizenship asked during 1) initial application, 2) pre interview form, 3) follow up email, and 4) reconfirmed again in the final 10 min interview together with visa status - hongkongese, no visa, delware corp without china/hong kong business - told: “you’re solo founder and due to political change, we cannot fund it, but we like u/ur video” not sure if this is related to broader us-china tensions, or things like reports of china blocking the manus meta deal, but as a hongkongese faced political dramas in hong kong & just trying to build a career in the us, i unfortunately seem to be caught in the middle
