Subagents = Naruto shadow clones - parallelize yourself - let each clone investigate / code / verify - merge them back into one - keep the knowledge, not just the output

So deep

.@GenAstronautics builds autonomous robotics for space. In microgravity, proteins crystallize without defects and semiconductors form without flaws, but astronaut time is scarce. They are enabling scale for the work that can't be done anywhere else. Congrats on the launch, @BramSchork and @ShiboZhou! ycombinator.com/launches/PY8-g…

.@bubblelab_ai supercharges your ops work in Slack. Deploy Pearl in one click, connect it to tools like Notion, Jira, Stripe, and let it run tasks and automations for your team directly in Slack. Congrats on the launch, @Selinaliyy and @zhubzyz! ycombinator.com/launches/PWl-b…

Vibe coding something you don't understand is a lot like making a Plumbus #plumbus #rickandmorty

We are on an express train to when “thinking…” only existed in kv-cache. People no longer think any more

If you tried to submit the human genome as a PR today, it would be rejected immediately. It’s the ultimate spaghetti code: redundant loops, dead code, and goto statements triggered by 3D folding. Yet, it’s the most robust distributed system ever built. The closer our AI agents get to "solving" complex tasks, the more our codebases will start to look like biology: messy, opaque, and incredibly efficient.

Fin!

@herbiebradley @SourishJasti @ZoeyTang_1007 @vishnuman0 Legs are to look cool (and humanoid) for most application, many companies decided to do wheeled base because it’s reliable, easy and honestly works for many applications

@SourishJasti @ZoeyTang_1007 @intelchentwo @vishnuman0 extremely good! do you have a take on wheeled base vs legs for industrial robots

1/ General-purpose robotics is the rare technological frontier where the US / China started at roughly the same time and there's no clear winner yet. To better understand the landscape, @zoeytang_1007, @intelchentwo, @vishnuman0 and I spent the last ~8 weeks creating a deep dive on humanoid robotics hardware and flew to China to see the supply chain firsthand. Here's everything we've created + our takeaways about the components, humanoid comparisons, supply chains, and geopolitics👇

@aliuahma Is this on ur 2026 bingo card😁

@intelchentwo wtf the 169 reveal guy is on my timeline

Read this to be more informed than 99% of robotics crowd

@tanaytandon7 @SourishJasti @ZoeyTang_1007 @vishnuman0 I think higher up is nice too (China is working on that), but there’s so much manufacturing capability in China that would love to soak up the next generation of hardware demand

@SourishJasti @ZoeyTang_1007 @intelchentwo @vishnuman0 Why do you reckon Beijing's goal is still just to become the "robotics factory of the world"? Given their advantages in deploying these robots in the real world (and thus gathering that coveted data), wouldn't it make more sense to own higher up the value chain?

. @PraneetKedari and I taught a robot to play Ms. Pacman Our learnings and takeaways below (with full report/code at the end) 👇 p.s. sound on!

Star Trek 1992: "Computer, metal swing arm. Double-jointed." → Holodeck manifests perfect nightmare torture device. Silicon Valley 2025: "bro @claudeai make this app go brrr, add dark mode, make it kinda like TikTok but for cats, idk just vibe it out fr no bugs pls" → Claude Code spits out a functional project Star Trek was so ahead. #Codex #cursor

A personal OS based solely on md files. No database, only context, and claude code reading, writing, and maintaining files, iterating the visuals using the canvas-skill. It's a malleable database, interface, writing tool and thought partner.

I have thousands of files in obsidian. I want to make connections to my previous thoughts naturally. I created a tool that brings the Cursor Tab experience to my @obsdmd vault. Feels like my subconscious is spitting these words out as I'm thinking back to the things I've thought about.

A real gym with marked weight is worth more than trying to lift rocks because you are paying for *telemetry infra*

Feels like the @cursor_ai harness for opus is on par with Claude Code tbh Perhaps the much bigger "wow" effect from CC is due to the form factor - no stress induced from looking at code in a big ass window esp for non engs. it just works. in reality the two products work just as well to me for daily work.
