@jonaswillett1 @Tinder Just build some bars at this point

The IRL connection economy is a $400B+ market. And companies are racing to own it. In the last 6 months, $800M+ in capital was deployed on "IRL" bets. @Tinder invested $60M into a new Events feature for connecting matches in-person. They're pivoting to IRL and offering experiences such as speakeasies, raves, and pottery classes. @222place: raised a $10.1M Series A to curate blind social experiences for Gen Z. Personality-matched groups sent to hyperlocal nightlife events. @JagermeisterUSA launched BestNightsVC - the only venture fund in the world dedicated solely to nightlife and IRL connection. 16 portfolio companies across 4 continents. @timeleft: dinner with 5 strangers, every Wednesday. €18M ARR. 6,500 dinners/week across 200+ cities. Dion: members-only social app where the first move is buying someone a real drink, redeemed IRL. 10K members, 30K+ on the waitlist founded by @revekkapal. Pie: Bonobos founder @dunn built an IRL friendship app. $24M raised. 130K+ MAU. @weroad_official: group trips for 20-30 year olds who don't know each other beforehand. $150M valuation. Matchbox: is an algorithm-powered matching platform for IRL events and has powered over 100,000 connections. founded by @liamjmcgregor (prev @MarriagePact) New dating apps like Known @Celesteamadon, Cerca @MylesCerca, and Ditto @AllenWangzian are aiming to improve connection amongst young people. Billion-dollar companies are paying $$$ for community and events leads: - @AnthropicAI: Marketing Events Manager ($255k) - @tryramp: Community Manager ($223k) - @tryramp: Events & Culture Manager ($181k) - @duolingo: Senior Community Manager ($193k) - @NotionHQ: Community Programs Lead Everyone knows the more time we spend online, the more valuable real-life connection becomes. The question isn't whether IRL wins. It's who facilitates it best.

@SpaceX @cursor_ai Brilliant movement

SpaceXAI and @cursor_ai are now working closely together to create the world’s best coding and knowledge work AI. The combination of Cursor’s leading product and distribution to expert software engineers with SpaceX’s million H100 equivalent Colossus training supercomputer will allow us to build the world’s most useful models. Cursor has also given SpaceX the right to acquire Cursor later this year for $60 billion or pay $10 billion for our work together.

I applied so hard, and got so far… but in the end, I wasn’t even hired

No hay día que no recuerde esta interacción con chat gpt

Am I the only one who realizes when AI companies are obviously running some sort of AB test on them? Its becoming quite annoying lately

to be clear, NVIDIA is NOT a car

@theo OpenAI must be cooking something really good, I can feel it

It’s been over a month since a big new model dropped. Damn.

The “Personal Hotspot” feature of IOS is borderline unusable outside of the happy path. It keeps disconnecting automatically all the time

@n___vc Thanks!

@srmanuelangel have a look here

more people should use spinners like this, those are sick

3 years after GPT-4 dropped, going back to that original Hacker News thread is wild... Some takes aged terribly… but a few people basically predicted exactly what we’re only starting to see now. The signal was there all along. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=351545…

I want to use this model so bad

Now that Anthropic has revealed their new SOTA model: How long will it take for Open AI to launch GPT 6?

@NathanFlurry Good stuff

available today

@theo @michael_chomsky I am shamelessly going to copy this rn

@michael_chomsky Data is local so it's not too hard Prefetching on hover with reliable route-level data loading can get you 90% of the way there I did a lot of fun things in Lawn if you want examples. I export a "prewarm" hook for every route and trigger it on hover for every link

Can some tanstack genius teach me how to do this? I genuinely don’t understand how you can do this without caching in indexdb. This is as fast as t3chat and linear.

@Fried_rice Time to open source it @AnthropicAI !

Claude code source code has been leaked via a map file in their npm registry! Code: …a8527898604c1bbb12468b1581d95e.r2.dev/src.zip

Being the first person at the WeWork after a good night’s sleep feels amazing.

@badlogicgames @mitsuhiko I have been doing the same thing for a long time!

anytime i finish a blog post, i feed it to an LLM asking it to produce 20-40 HN or Reddit comments. immensely effective. stole that idea from @mitsuhiko

AI didn't kill software engineering It killed the illusion that shipping code and engineering a system were the same thing
