@arnestrickmann emdash, the Agentic Taste Environment

Small improvement I’m very excited about in Emdash v1.1.24: review + annotate individual commit diffs in the sidebar.

In the same spirit, what is the next frontier? It took ~150 years between the practical harnessing of electricity and the invention of electronic computers. Let's say AI scales to proper AGI and ASI. What is the next dimension we can add to this vector space that might still be as relevant as energy -> bits or bits -> intelligence?

In fact instead of thinking of startup ideas as scalars it would probably be best to think of them as pairs of idea + early adopters. If you can't say who's going to use you when no one else is, move on to another idea.

i’m coming to realize there’s a subset of roles where both paths make sense: internalizing ai employees and offloading to ai-native service companies. but for each of these roles, i think the equilibrium converges toward the service company. if the function is non-core, high-variance, and benefits from cross-customer scale, the best “ai employee” probably won’t live inside your company.

@arnestrickmann YOOOOO

@hetdv e/acc

someone build this!! we will help you source every single component i promise

stay focused...ignore the rat race...try to build things that are cool. the rest will fall into place

Andustry (@andustry_hq) is an AI-native broker that helps manufacturers find suppliers for industrial goods. Hardware sourcing takes months, and teams almost always overpay. Andustry helps customers save 30% on costs, while cutting sourcing time in half. Congrats on the launch, @hetdv & @JStuerken! ycombinator.com/launches/QP4-a…

what if everything goes right

~1.5 years ago I came across the single most important piece on marketplaces. nothing still comes close open.spotify.com/episode/1NH6vL…

@zanehengsperger idk how you do it but you're doing an insane job of hyping this space. like i'm legit pumped every time i come across one of your posts

for america to win i still think there needs to be 1000x more manufacturing/factory building founders the market can support it comfortably and they need to build a factory on day 1

@jimbelosic's advice to himself looking back: don't know too much about your industry. listen to smart people later but close your ears for a little bit and start working. @lucas_crupi on the same: build a @sendcutsend for parts jim wouldn't touch :)

@ET_adialante congrats this is so cool!!

Great day today. Our second patent just issued. It covers MRI using radio waves alone, no bulky gradient coils, no loud banging. A fundamentally different machine that doesn't skimp on clinical value.

@forestmanjohn if it's a larger volume, we can definitely help!

who’s got the fastest aluminum cast turnaround?
