why do you need to raise $27M to launch an iMessage API?
Elliott Potter@elliott__potter
We’ve raised $27M for this moment: starting today, your agent gets an iPhone and can talk like a friend. Texting is the universal interface. Billions of people text every day, but until now, developers have been restricted from building on the most powerful channel to ever exist. Linq is a single API for iMessage, RCS, SMS, voice, and even FaceTime and Find My. Nothing for users to download. Nothing new to learn. We’re already powering @interaction, @pika_labs, @getlindy, @zocomputer, @joindimension, Tomo (and others we can’t name just yet) to bring this new ecosystem to life. Join them, and start building for free in our sandbox, linked below. Or comment and we’ll get you set up.

ICMYI: I broke down everything we know about what, specifically, Anthropic's Claude is & isn't doing inside Palantir tech used by the US military. For the story, I carefully reviewed every relevant demo & report that Palantir & the military have ever released. Link in reply.

Where do indie hackers hangout nowadays? I feel like ph, hn, and ih are all gone

Introducing the new /crawl endpoint - one API call and an entire site crawled.
No scripts. No browser management. Just the content in HTML, Markdown, or JSON.

My theory is that generally libertarian/psychopath tech executives have been putting up with the coddled, woke, over-privileged tech workers for about a decade and a half, so they are going to make the AI transition brutal and humiliating.

Block just confirmed 4,000 layoffs but I'm hearing the real number is closer to 4,800 when you count contractors and the "voluntary separation" packages pushed through yesterday Sources inside are saying Jack Dorsey walked into the all-hands with a 47-slide deck titled "Building Tomorrow's Block" Slide 23 showed current org chart: 10,200 people. Slide 24 showed target org: 5,900 people by July The brutal part: they've been screen recording every engineering session for 6 months. Called it "knowledge capture for AI training" Senior engineers thought they were helping build internal tools. They were actually training their replacements I'm told the offshore team in Bangalore already has access to the entire codebase documentation, decision trees, and architectural reasoning - all extracted from those recordings One L7 architect realized yesterday that his "AI pair programming" sessions were being fed directly into training data for automated code generation The team that built their payment processing infrastructure? All gone. Replaced by 3 contractors with Claude Sonnet and the complete prompt library of the guy they just walked out Word is they're planning to cut another 2,000 in Q2 once the AI agents can handle customer support escalations But sure, keep telling people that AI will "augment" their jobs instead of erasing them The knowledge extraction is complete

Underrated side-effect of AI: we are about to get a cambrian explosion of new games for retro consoles
Took me 5-6 prompts to make a working game with music in assembly on SNES
We’ll see “Steam for Super Nintendo” before the decade is out.

As someone who builds institutional level quant systems for prediction markets, this is the closest thing to a quant desk simulation I have ever seen publicly shared.
Runnable code for every model.
Read it before someone takes it down.

I’m still disappointed we haven’t seen a breakout “tool for thought” for the ai era.

most popular guy in tech in the last 90 days telling young people to stay away from crypto -- the only asset class left where they can make any money.

I think it'll be more like:
You chat to your LLM app and it'll just spin up an app with a UI if it feels the need
Like you want to book a holiday apartment, it spins up a fancy Airbnb-like interface and books it for you
You want to edit your photo, it spins up a simple but advanced easy-to-use photo editor
The idea is that interfaces and apps become ephemeral to help you achieve whatever you want in a moment
LaurieWired@lauriewired
oh come on. You think your grandma wants to make her own app? Much less maintain it. Everyone neglects the mental energy it takes to even *think* of what it is exactly you want. The entire principle of apps relies on some faith that designers; and the collective feedback of their users, can come up with a workflow or design paradigm that is *better* than what you; an individual could come up with. This is true for 99% of cases. I’d be floored if even 1% of global users want bespoke applications for uber-specific needs. Not saying it’s useless; but it’s so far away from what average users want.

@Claudia_Sahm @Money_tree13 @Ritholtz Pretty sure any social media you actively use can output with a probability whether it thinks you’re employed or not lol
English
@Money_tree13 @Ritholtz How would you know if someone is unemployed without asking them? Unemployed means must be looking for work. Or marginally attached? Want to work but not looking.
English
Our grasp on reality is slipping. The response rate to the survey behind the unemployment rate (and the rest of the household survey) is now lower than during the pandemic.
The decline in response rates during the first year of the Trump Admin 2.0 was larger than at any time outside the pandemic. This is a problem!

I met Amanda Askell at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told her how cool it was to meet her in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother her and ask her for photos or anything. She said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but she kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing her hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard her chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw her trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in her hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Ma'am, you need to pay for those first.” At first she kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, she stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, she kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I met @AmandaAskell at a workshop many years ago, and what she told me has stuck with me since: "stop psychoanalyzing people on the internet based off random anecdotes, you insufferable gossiping morons, just talk to the LLM directly and see if you like it"
