@dweekly I'm a Withings fan too. Long battery life all the way.

Goodbye, Apple Watch. Hello 30 day battery life and fewer interruptions / distractions, whilst still getting SpO2, HR, and EKG...

I met Spencer as my roommate when interviewing for the Thiel Fellowship. 14 years later, and he's the only one of us working on the exact same thing. He's persisted like crazy, having his company shrink to 1 person and surviving by renting out his place for photoshoots. Over 10 years to first revenue. Because, to ship, they needed everything, from hardware and signal processing to the mobile app. At our Fellowship "graduation," I introduced him as one of the only people I'd consider working for. Deeply technical stuff, huge impact. Congrats Spencer. Well deserved.

Claude Managed Agents now allow you to run your agents in self-hosted sandboxes in Cloudflare. This means: - incredible speed and scale - full security control - built-in + custom tools Here's everything you need to know. 👇

Cloudflare has integrated with Anthropic's Claude Managed Agents to provide a fast, isolated execution environment for autonomous code delivery. This means builders can scale agent workflows globally while strictly controlling access to private backends and easily customizing their agent’s tools and runtimes. cfl.re/3R9hPA9

@qiqing Per the instructions on the site, you can upload the PDF to an AI and ask for "adaptive footnotes" to see what it sees. Pretty interesting, and as far as we know no one has done this before.

My wife @qiqing wrote a collection of poetry that is designed to be read by AI. To be clear, it is NOT written by AI. Jade wrote everything herself. But it contains puzzles that very few humans have enough context to figure out, but most frontier models do.

fair warning, this thing eats tokens for breakfast so I highly recommend following the token-saving pro-tip on the epigraph page when you're playing the interactive experience.

i've picked up the pen so many times to write about being a woman in tech and every time i chicken out because there's this catch-22: to talk about being a woman in tech, you need to have credibility. and once you start talking about it as a woman, you lose said credibility so i'm going to mortgage some of my credibility to get this off my chest, as someone who has both had a pretty successful career in tech, and leads a team with a lot of women on it: every woman you work with has had the most insane shit happen to her — on an almost daily basis. shit that makes you look at the camera and go "how did i end up here". from wild remarks about appearance to stalking and trauma dumping, and just constant dismissal from so many directions (employees, customers...). shit that you never tell anyone because they wouldn't believe you... i recently learned that like 97% of my followers on here are men. so my challenge to you is just to sit with that for a moment. you don't need to do anything about it (other than try not to be that person). but you should be aware that that's what every woman you work with deals with

Stuck in DFW for 5 hours on Sunday due to a missed connection, with two young kids, I searched for a play area and found "Children's Play Area by McDonald's". Sounded perfect! We could eat some greasy food while the kids played. Turns out, this was the "play area". There was a sign mentioning the nearest McDonald's -- on the other end of the terminal, a 10 minute walk away even for an unburdened adult. WTF DFW? Airport has 5 massive terminals and this is all they had for a playground, at least according to their own web site's search. The teeny little airport in Madison, WI had a bigger, better play area, right next to a bar serving local beers on tap. Of course the Madison airport has a different problem, which is that they literally have no maintenance personnel on site on Sundays, so if your plane has a minor maintenance issue, you gotta wait an hour and a half for someone to drive in from home. And hence why we ended up stuck in DFW for 5 hours... How was your weekend?

@KentonVarda I'm going to quote you saying "we should probably just use C" without context. 😇

This rant should not be construed as claiming one or the other system is fundamentally better, but rather that we lose understanding in translation. I think F is a nicer scale for the human experience, but if science is done in C we should probably just use C...

Pet peeve: When a temperature is quoted as 68°F. Yeah I bet the original source was "about 20°C" but now you went and added a significant figure making it sound exact. You should say "about 70°F".

It's kind of crazy how much of the way we've been designing Workers over the past 9 years unexpectedly turns out to be so relevant to AI and agents. Durable Objects and lightweight isolate sandboxes are obvious big things. But there are subtler things. Consider "bindings". In Workers, our environment (`env` object) doesn't just contain strings. It can contain live objects, which we often call "bindings". For instance, a Workers KV binding is a live object representing a Workers KV storage namespace. Once you've configured it, you can just do: let val = await env.MYKV.get("foo") await env.MYKV.put("foo", "new value"); Notice: There's no connection string. No secret token that you have to pass to talk to your KV namespace. The Workers Runtime handles it for you. You just get an already-initialized client object, on which you can call methods. You can still do everything you want to do. But you know what you can't do? Leak the secret token. Because there isn't one. A KV namespace binding fundamentally cannot be "leaked" because it's not bytes. But over the years, a lot of people have questioned whether this really mattered. I've had people inside and outside the team say: "Why are you so weird, Kenton? Yeah sure it can't leak but now I have to learn this new way of thinking about things. No other runtime works this way so writing portable code takes extra work. I'd rather just stick to what I'm used to, and anyway I know better than to leak my environment variables." Well, now we have AI agents writing the code and... suddenly everyone is worried about agents leaking keys. People are creating convoluted schemes to intercept the outbound traffic and inject keys in a proxy, or trying to issue very-short-lived keys so that if the agent leaks them the window of attack is short. Ahem. Welcome, folks! We solved this 8 years ago! Here's an old blog post -- written when I personally was still very much Not Thinking About AI -- which seems so much more relevant now: blog.cloudflare.com/workers-enviro…

anyone else noticing how fast Cloudflare is shipping?

New motto.
