@AutismCapital either that or trying to distract the public away from the war once more

Why would Melania holding a press conference about Epstein? It’s weird. Why would she re-engage this narrative in the public eye? She’s just going to Streisand effect it. Only explanation is she’s getting ahead of a story? Otherwise it makes no sense.

I built this thing called Clicky.
It's an AI teacher that lives as a buddy next to your cursor.
It can see your screen, talk to you, and even point at stuff, kinda like having a real teacher next to you.
I've been using it the past few days to learn Davinci Resolve, 10/10.

Bitcoin’s founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, has remained hidden for 17 years. A trail of clues — and a year of digging by our reporter, John Carreyrou — led us to a 55-year-old computer scientist in El Salvador named Adam Back. nyti.ms/4bXWC3V

@TimothyKassis @k_dense_ai How do you define AI engineers and software engineers? Aren't they the same nowadays?
English
I'm hiring AI engineers and software engineers. If you've been following our journey on @k_dense_ai please DM me if you are interested. We're looking for both remote and onsite in Palo Alto.

Gemma 4 can run on phones without an internet connection! 🤯
It can perform local agentic tasks, such as logging and analyzing trends. When connected, it can also make API calls.
Want to try it yourself? Get the Google AI Edge App on iOS or Android. (🔊 Sound on for the demo!)

Ok korean media out here calling me a "talented engineer" lmao
intelligence is literally a commodity now.
just spend more on claude + codex subs than your rent and u too can be a "talented engineer"
bro i'm literally a uni dropout 💀

@FamousAlan @bryan_johnson @maximumpain333 @grok @grok what about Native cultures in the American continent?

Bryan, respectfully have you tried it? I assume any study is based on humans with a 9-5. I tried it for a week while having a 9-5 in my early twenties and it’s 10000% doable and I still have a hunch healthy .
The better question, is there truth in this history ?
@grok did humans have sleep shift and less of an 8 hour long period before the mattress marketing to push 8 hours came to be. ?
English
The most dangerous lie in human history isn’t about food.
It isn’t about medicine.
It is about sleep.
For 200,000 years, humans did not sleep 8 hours.
That number was invented in 1938 by a mattress company called Simmons Beautyrest.
Before that campaign, the average human slept in two shifts.
Historians call it “Biphasic Sleep.”
You would sleep for 4 hours, wake up for 2, then sleep for another 4.
During that 2-hour window, people would pray, have s*x, write, think, and connect with their families.
Some of the greatest works in human history were created in that sacred middle window.
Shakespeare wrote most of his plays between 1AM and 3AM during his second wake period.
Mozart composed entire symphonies in what he called “The God Hours.”
Then the Industrial Revolution needed workers on a fixed schedule.
You cannot run a factory on biphasic sleep.
So they hired a psychologist named Dr. Nathaniel Kleitman to “prove” that 8 consecutive hours was the biological standard.
He faked the studies.
He was funded entirely by the mattress industry.
And the medical establishment adopted his research without question because it aligned with the factory model.
They turned the most creative 2 hours of human consciousness into a “sleep disorder.”
They called it “Insomnia.”
They medicated it.
They gaslight an entire generation that 8 hours of continuous sleep was healthy.
They pathologized the exact window of consciousness that produced some of the greatest art, music, and literature in human history.
You are not an insomniac.
You are experiencing the most natural form of human consciousness.
And a mattress company convinced you it was a disease.
Stop medicating your genius.
Wake up at 2AM.
Write the thing.
The “God Hours” are calling.

This is pretty unprecedented. Clearly YC is listening

@karunkaushik_ smells, and it seems like a scam. an apology when they were caught it seems

There’s been a lot of allegations against Delve.
But we haven’t been able to share our side of the story until today due to ongoing cybersecurity and forensics investigations.
Maintaining customer trust is central to everything we do.
That said, we grew too fast and fell short of our own standard. To our customers, we deeply apologize for the inconveniences caused.
We take these allegations seriously and have made changes: a new auditor network, free re-audits and pentests for all customers, enhanced transparency in audit communications, and more.
However, we also want to set the record straight on the anonymous attacks.
The evidence we have points to a targeted cyberattack from a malicious actor, not a “whistleblower.”
We believe the attacker purchased Delve under false pretenses, exfiltrated internal company data, and used it to launch a coordinated smear campaign.
The posts rely on a mix of fabricated claims, cherry-picked screenshots, and stolen data taken out of context.
See the link in the comments for more details.
Delve was built to modernize compliance. We are not going anywhere and are committed to building what's next.

Huge news: @CentralHQX has been acquired by @mercury!
24 months ago, we had zero customers and revenue.
Since then:
- Hundreds and hundreds of startups rely on Central
- We've processed nearly $200M in payroll
- 30% of our customers switched from traditional HR/payroll platforms
- We built one of the first AI agents in Slack
Turns out founders want outcomes, not just another dashboard.
When we first met @immad, @MattRHeiman, and @rywiggs and the rest of the Mercury team, it just made sense.
Most of our customers were already using them and they had the same obsession of helping startups and SMBs. And together, we can actually automate the entire back-office now.
Grateful to our customers, investors and our entire team.
Most importantly, thank you to my co-founders @jbwyme and @prankash. Couldn't have done this without y'all.
More to come!

@ayushswrites it seems another YC company with no much moral standards.
@garrytan i don't think this is the norm in YC but what happens with all those bad apples?
English
I've never publicly spoken about this, but today feels like the right time to tell this story.
Today, Central got acqui-hired by Mercury.
In early 2023, the CEO of an unknown company called "Central Business Applications Inc" reached out to us.
Said he loved what we were building at Warp, wanted to use our product for his new startup, and even offered to "discuss product strategy."
We onboarded them. They used Warp for about six months. During that time, they asked us detailed questions about how state tax registrations work, what a registered agent is, how we handle compliance across multiple jurisdictions. Thought it was odd, but assumed goodwill.
Then they left. And launched a clone. Their launch post paraphrased our problem and solution statements from six months earlier. Our launch said "designed for founders, not HR." Theirs said "platform for founders not HR." Our website said "Unlike traditional payroll providers, Warp does tax registrations and compliance work for you automatically." Theirs said "Unlike other platforms,
Central handles compliance work automatically."
They never could match the product. But we would update our website copy and a few weeks later, theirs would match.
I actually think this validates something important: payroll and employee management is a genuinely hard problem. You can study someone's product, copy their positioning, mirror their website.
But you can't copy years of infrastructure built across thousands of tax agencies, the compliance automation that compounds over time, or a world class engineering team that ships it.
Over the past couple weeks, some of Central's biggest customers have been switching to Warp.
If you're on Central wondering what comes next, we'll make the transition seamless.
Back to building.
