The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

Update: I’m camping outside YC with my laptop, Meta glasses, and Jarvis/OpenClaw helping me pull every lever.
Not because I’m entitled to a reply.
Because this is what I believe founders do: move until the last possible second.
One final look...

“Pull all levers, till there’s none left, then rest” If YC hasn’t replied yet, Jarvis told me it’s time for Project Hail Mary. Guys, I updated PayDai’s thesis last-minute after Diana said updates were open until 6pm PST today. What we’re building is now clear: AI-agent-native income verification infrastructure for lenders, governments, and independent workers. So today I emailed the team, recorded a new application video, flew to SF, and had Jarvis/OpenClaw help me pull every lever. 3 hours left. I’m here. I’m ready. One final look would mean a lot. Wishing you a meaningful Memorial Day👊 @garrytan @jasonfreedman @sdianahu

@cyber_rekk half of this video is bullshit, the sign completely unnecessary, everyone knows this is france. Just searching for the billboard would be enough.

this kid is 18. his app makes $1.4 million a month one function: take a photo of your food - get the calories the entire product is one API call. photo goes in, JSON with calories comes out. frontend shows the number Cal AI. 15 million downloads. MyFitnessPal acquired them marketing: tiktok. influencers film themselves photographing their food. viral by default - everyone eats every day. CAC close to zero one vision API request: $0.01-0.03. user subscription: $5.99/month. margin 80%+ someone already built an open-source version of the same thing: github.com/tahaygun/ai-ca… -> photo and text analysis, meal history, weight tracking, model selection, PWA, works offline a $1.4M/month app is one vision API call and the right distribution. the code is open. distribution is your problem

@StyrofoamCube @zhovner Add any peripheral, and it will be drained in 10min. The device is just too small to fit a larger battery. It's a amazing project but won't work in this form factor
English
@zhovner Основной вопрос конечно будет к автономности, кмк, rk3576 это конечно не мега прожорливый зверь, но 4Вт в медиане/10Вт в пике - это все ещё уважаемая цифра. По опыту flipper zero (до какого-то из обновлений, не вспомню) основой точкой боли была необходимость в частой зарядке.

Today we officially announce Flipper One for the first time. It's a very exciting and scary moment.
Our experience with Flipper Zero showed that genuine passion and love for what you do can lead to amazing results. There are about 1 million Flipper Zero devices in people's hands now, and that's incredible. We built a huge community around it and inspired people to explore new technologies — and pushed vendors to make safer, more transparent products.
Flipper One is a deeply personal project. I've been thinking about the concept of a pocket Linux multi-tool for the last 10 years, but I always felt the available technology and components weren't good enough. It was important to me to release a product without compromises — one that's truly worth it. And now, it finally feels like the right time.
There's a lot of uncertainty in this project, along with technical challenges and financial risks (like the current RAM chip crisis). I don't know if we'll be able to do everything we've planned, but we'll give it everything we've got. Thank you all, and welcome to a new adventure.
Flipper Devices@flipper_net
We're finally ready to talk about Flipper One — a project we've been grinding on for years and have rebuilt from scratch several times. Read blog post >> blog.flipper.net/flipper-one-we…

This FOT is made from 90 million optical fibers fused and stretched. It magnifies whatever it is on top of by 3x without lenses. Each fiber is like an independent pixel, stretched 3x.
This is the same multi-channel approach Mojo uses for optical links in data centers.

just enabled a minimum age on npm package installs for my machine, should've done this sooner but if you haven't either here's a prompt for your coding agent to configure it for you:
""Find my package manager (bun/pnpm/npm/yarn) and configure a 3-day minimum-release-age / cooldown for installs to blunt supply-chain attacks. Exempt my workspace scopes. Verify the exact config key in current docs before writing."

@IntCyberDigest Wow, code running on your local machine can launch code running on your local machine!
Upload it to an actual server or the "demonstration" means nothing.

he’s built 35 startups
and says most people lose before they even start
not because they’re not good enough
but because they’re distracted

Are you also depressed like me in this indie hacker journey? Here's how I reduce it. Marc said "Don't you dare give up" so anyway I'll keep going 💪 Just made 1% better video than my first one inspired by Rob I can tell I’m still boring joe phase but I’ll get better!

As more and more of these fraud cases flair up, this is why you should:
1. Fund older founders (27-37)
2. Understand the Zuck model is not THE model
Yes: Alexandr Wang scaled Scale but came out with cofounder breakup battle scars and a half formed acquisition.
Dylan Field built the legendary Figma - but perhaps could have done so without spending the first 10 years searching for PMF.
Here’s a reminder that Sergey and Larry are dropouts - of their PHD program at 25. So is @vladtenev and Baiju Bhatt. @bchesky founded Airbnb at 27 - not 17. Jeff Bezos started Amazon at 30, and Reed Hastings - Netflix at 37. Both went to and finished at GREAT schools.
The real success pattern to a unicorn actually looks like:
- 25+
- exceptional aptitude
- early operational success
The argument FOR young founders (under 21) is they move fast, break things and have no baggage - all true to an extend.
However - the argument AGAINST young founders is that they are inexperienced, unstable, and lacks the ability to stay composed under extreme pressure.
VCs, esp @peterthiel should also understand, that they were so influential, so persuasive and so successful in selling the Silicon Valley model - a new generation of young people see it as THE thing to do.
More popular than being a sports star, celebrity or just about anything else. The extreme level of desire to be the next Zuck, sometimes drives youngsters to make very incorrect and fraudulent decisions.
All in all, if you’re a VC or investor reading this, this is your reminder to fund experienced operators, and NOT encourage kids to drop out of school.

When I was at Google, I wasn’t afraid to make mistakes in production. The general consensus was: if a well intentioned engineer manages to bring the system down, then we better fix the damn system. The Delve founders should definitely be held accountable if this is true. But this really is bigger than them. They didn’t even try too hard to be sleazy, they just followed the Silicon Valley playbook. 1. Drop out of school as a status symbol, completely missing that correlation is not causation. Dropping out does not make you a genius. 2. Start a business with 0 mission (no 21yo dreams of compliance) 3. Fake it till you make it (hide human labor behind the grandeur of AI features) 4. Raise an obscene amount of money because you can and because those losers who stayed to finish their degrees will be jelly. This is the playbook. The biggest culprits are the ones who made it and uphold it. If you’re not allowed to drink before 21 but are allowed to raise 30m on a compliance idea with no due diligence from investors, then maybe something is really really wrong with the system.

@tonytonggg Using tailscale is terrible advice, in fact it's less safe than just ssh. It's another attack vector.
English
My server faced 165,225+ SSH brute force attacks in 90 days.
What hackers tried:
• admin, root, user (basics)
• solana, moon (crypto wallets)
• invoices, menu (business databases)
• webserver, vhserver (infrastructure)
Origins: Botnets from Eastern Europe, proxy services, distributed attacks 24/7
Monthly Breakdown:
• January: 103,726 attacks (peak month)
• December: 44,680 attacks
• February: 10,527 attacks
• March: 6,289 attacks (so far)
Worst Offenders:
• 186.96.145.241 → 9,332 attempts
• 195.178.110.30 → 8,322 attempts
• 92.118.39.62 → 5,411 attempts
Solution: @Tailscale + UFW firewall = 0 attacks
Thanks @levelsio for the cybersecurity tip.
Once I opened my eyes I saw how much hack attempts really goes on in the dark web.
@levelsio@levelsio
You should never ever expose a VPS to the entire internet Always firewall it to subnets If you host a website you should only allow port 443 (HTTPS) inbound from Cloudflare's IP range / subnets Port 22 (SSH) only from your Tailscale subnet range That means you create a "tunnel" from Cloudflare and Tailscale (your laptop) to your server's door You still need your SSH key to open the door btw If you don't, ANYONE in the entire world can connect to your VPS and if there's just one security vulnerability and you didn't upgrade your VPS you can get hacked If you do have it firewalled with Tailscale subnet only, it means only if they hack your laptop they could get in via your Tailscale there Another thing is ask OpenClaw or Claude Code to enable unattended upgrades with auto reboot

A senior engineer created a fake junior dev to test hiring advice.
The profile had:
- good portfolio
- active GitHub
- senior-level projects
- even faked YOE
He ran the experiment in the Netherlands, a country known for its developer shortage.
Applied to 36 jobs and didn’t get a single interview.
The junior dev market is brutal.

been getting a lot of dms asking how to get into @ycombinator startup school as a person that was:
> not highly technical
> did not have much startup experience
> didn’t have impressive labels or achievements
just one year ago, i doubted myself a lot while applying to startup school.
whether I was qualified enough and always assuming my background was not strong compared to other applicants
regardless, I applied & got in.
for anyone who is currently overthinking whether they are ready:
reply “YC” and I’ll share with you my successful yc ai startup school application :)
📸: @michaelque22 thanks for dming :)
