They love hardware builders in NYC

Simple. Imagine building a hardware company.

Imagine trying to build a company outside this circle. I can't.

@0xEthanS @patrickc @_brianpotter Even massive improvements like the big renovation of Paris to its beautiful inner city architecture today had strong objections at the time. People always dislike change… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haussmann…

That’s definitely a factor, but I think if you buy into something stable like a neighborhood, I don’t think people from the outside have a right to come in and degrade your quality of life. This has broadly happened in many american cities in the past century, I think people are rightfully skeptical

This is how California became anti-growth in the 60s/70s btw. Citizens just started relentlessly punishing local elected officials that didn't strangle development.
Missi Hesketh for MO 7th@MissiforMO
The City of Festus, MO canceled their Council meeting for tonight following last night's election whereby citizens voted out of office every single member who voted for the data center there that the people did not want. Micro to macro, that is how we hold them accountable.

This is supposed to be a sarcastic series of posts, but would be awesome to build up these residential areas with access to bay, presidio, fort mason, marina green, Moscone park to support the area with beautiful outdoor space. So great to give more people a chance to live here!

Vote for Stephen Sherrill in D2 so we drastically transform the Marina into a hyperdense waterfront urban center. Let’s make it look like Miami! We could fit 200K-700K MORE people in D2 alone. 90% of the city wants this!

@StatisticUrban Marina district during the 1915 world's fair had a much more timeless style. Almost all was temporary and later demolished.

@patrickc @_brianpotter Agreed but seems like we overcorrected on that.
Also, NIMBYs want to maintain or increase their property values because supply remains constant if new housing projects are blocked (and demand goes up)
English
@_brianpotter My new take is that voters were basically right: we stopped exercising good judgment in what we built, and voters hence rationally withdrew the development mandate.

The exact same street in Austin in 2018 and 2026. New multifamily units going up everywhere. Love to see it 🚀

@eikedrescher @spielwerkapp Plain text prompting was never the final form factor. Love this!

Today we’re introducing Cheats in @Spielwerkapp
Prompting has failed us.
Most people don’t know what to type.
AI unlocked a ton of skills for experts, but the rest of us kinda need a… cheat.
Sound on!

Streamers, it's time to make the switch.
Check out our friends @official_throne, a privacy-first wishlist platform whose top priority is to keep your address private built with creators in mind!

Amazon is making a change to Wishlists that may make your address visible to gift buyers, starting on March 25, 2026. They recommend you get a PO Box to protect yourself from accidentally being doxxed.

@samuelstros Sadly not ideal for more complex relational datasets & if you want to give users easy ways to suggest edits, have a version history of individual rows etc.
English
Is there an equivalent of GitHub for open-source databases / crowd-sourced data that lets users suggest edits, version history etc? Couldn't find anything established

In personal news, @autotabai has been acquired by @cursor_ai .
@alexirobbins and I have been working on giving Cursor's agent its own computer it can use like a human developer.
Excited to hear what you think!
Cursor@cursor_ai
Cursor now shows you demos, not diffs. Agents can use the software they build and send you videos of their work.

In der USA sind die meisten Menschen enthusiastisch.
In Europa werde ich beschimpft, Leute schreien REGULIERUNG und VERANTWORTUNG.
Und wenn ich wirklich hier eine Firma baue dann kann ich mich mit Themen wie Investitionsschutzgesetz, Mitarbeiterbeteiligung und lähmenden Arbeitsregulierungen abkämpfen. Bei OAI arbeiten die meisten Leute 6-7 Tage die Woche und werden depentsprechend bezahlt. Be uns ist das illegal.

@Ricburton If those numbers would make me lose control of my company, I have no other choice. Admirable how locked in you are!
English
@pbecker Absolutely a risk
But if you’re scared of a few numbers
Then I actually do hope you leave or never come here

California is worth fighting for. Don’t let the tax bills of a few post-economic ballers change your plans.
Balaji happily extracted what he needed from California and then scurried away like the rest of his ilk.

Zuck out Page out Brin out Thiel out Elon out The most successful tech founders of all time have now exited the failed state of California. You shouldn’t move there for tech. And if you are there, you should leave. The future is the decentralized Internet.
