dropped this bad boy in the work slack, felt like i got a standing ovation

@AdamSmielewski @charlietlamb Not true? At least the interviews I gave were not leetcode-style at all.

@charlietlamb they ask leetcode in interviews tho…

how to hire 101

Rly thoughtful non-slop take on a productivity tool from a friend of mine — like a Spotify wrapped for your day, every day!

@candyflipline “He’s just a kid! He’s just a lil goofball :3” this is a fully grown man, why are you infantilizing him lol. I’m sure he can handle a screenshot.

you are so tuff for posting dms, wow. you raised 45m (!) for your .mdx aggregator. you finessed a16z out of money. but you cant handle a 21yo goofball? whats next, you are going to sue? weak men, hard times.

Fat/xanthan serve diff purposes. Fat only kind of prevents freezing into a brick, it’s mostly for mouthfeel. Xanthan helps enormously with preventing ice crystals because it’s a stabilizer, you can also use it when making “real” ice cream. Other stabilizers are better (like guar gum, locust bean gum), but they’re mostly used in commercial ice cream bc they’re harder to acquire/use.

@DeanTTraining That makes way more sense So the xanthan’s basically doing what the fat normally does in real ice cream, holding it together so it doesn’t freeze into a brick. Clever. How much does the almond milk actually matter here?

Probably just gonna keep posting this every week until everyone on the internet knows about it… (You make this using a Ninja Creami Deluxe which, as of today, is still ON SALE at Costco for $150!!!)

@cormachayden_ @jwmares @IBIJBPM the product is still broken misinformation slop so clearly you guys didn't iterate correctly

@jwmares @IBIJBPM fixing the product and taking corrective action based on the feedback is

The fight for a higher standard of consumer health and transparency has never been more important. The ones most threatened by a new order are the ones who profited under the old one

@SaleemUsama @BasedDaedalus This is worthless. If you want to flex, post an offer letter instead. And if you’re actually good, they’d be the ones reaching out to you.

@BasedDaedalus tough luck buddy

it’s over

@SharavArora someone free bro from his striver parents 😭😭😭

Tips to apply at YC!

@alexczako What was the fish

let it be known that I brought the winning tinned fish to the tinned fish party, and that I received a fish hat as the prize 😤

@venturetwins @max_spero_ @a16z are you being willfully ignorant? that's not his point. they (doublespeed) are intentionally misleading consumers by mass-posting undisclosed ads. while AI contributes to the scale, the main issue is deceptive marketing.

@max_spero_ @a16z Have you actually looked at this company? Many folks are building AI influencers that automate content production for social apps. This is not evil dark magic 😂

I've watched this ad several times and genuinely can't understand the point. If you want a condescending VC who believes they're the moral authority on whether or not your product should exist...contact General Catalyst? If you don't, we're open for business @a16z 🫡

the sf larp is so annoying. team is indian, founders are indian, office is in hsr, but the website and twitter location says san francisco. just say you're an indian startup, it's not a slur

@keindata @FluffyNuZzZz @pilateswife Sure, I think that’s fair for transparency’s sake. I don’t think seed oils are dangerous but preferences are preferences.

@will__ye @FluffyNuZzZz @pilateswife I argue that if the consumer must look-up the data sheet for this gelato emulsifier mix & then cross-reference the additive E numbers for chemical name, that the details are a bit hidden. I also prefer my ice cream without seed oils & their by-products.

I don’t think this was meant to hide anything, it’s just the name of the commercial mix. And fearmongering over stabilizers and emulsifiers is dumb anyway, they prevent ice cream from freezing hard, add body, and are perfectly safe. Plus most of them are made from natural ingredients anyway

@FluffyNuZzZz @pilateswife Interesting way to hide palm oil, mono-/di-glyceride emulsifiers, & thickeners. raderfoods.com/wp-content/upl…

@ycombinator @sdianahu "contact switching" "KB caches" how hard is it to do a final pass over the subtitles? really sloppy.

Inference Chips for Agent Workflows @sdianahu Most AI chips are designed for "prompt in, response out." Agents don't work that way. They loop, branch, and hold context across dozens of steps, and current GPUs hit 30–40% utilization as a result. That gap is where purpose-built silicon wins.

AI has stopped being a feature and started being the foundation. We're excited about a new wave of startups rebuilding software, services, and silicon— and pushing AI into the physical world. ycombinator.com/rfs

@m1guelpf i did something similar 10 years ago, where you and a friend strap your phones to your wrists and high five each other to see who wins: github.com/williamyeny/hi…

i'm working on an app that uses the accelerometer in your phone to measure how hard you can throw it against the ground and compete with others this video is part of an elaborate campaign to convince you to download the app & get to the top of the leaderboard please enjoy

@fwjliu :(

I just saw Ben Pasternak’s video. I wasn’t planning to speak publicly, but hearing experiences that felt familiar made staying silent feel wrong. I was in a relationship with Evelyn years before Ben. During that relationship, I experienced things that were consistent with parts of what Ben described. Including physical violence. When our relationship ended, a version of events was shared publicly that did not fully reflect my experience. At the time, I chose not to respond. I made that decision for several reasons: I wanted to protect her, I didn’t want to turn a private situation into something public, and I was young and didn’t fully know how to handle the situation. I’m not here to revisit the past in detail or to speak for anyone else. I’m only sharing this to clarify that my experience and truth did not fully align with the narrative that had been presented. I stayed quiet for a long time for my own reasons. Speaking now is simply about being honest about what I experienced. Some of what was shared in the video was new information to me, and I’d like to process privately. I’m also sorry for what Ben went through. I hope he has the support he needs.

@IamMrHall @JoelKatz the phishing attempt has the blue check mark

@JoelKatz This was the phishing attempt

WARNING: Any emails you get that appear to be from Robinhood (and may actually be from their email system) are phishing attempts. Example:

@Batience_ @EliaFranzini1 @theannasarchive this domain is an impersonator. look up anna's archive on wikipedia to find the legitimate domains.

@EliaFranzini1 @theannasarchive Did the problem be solved? I encountered the same problem.

I love this, this is so cute! Spent an hour this morning wandering around and enjoying the art :) I wish the descriptions would load faster… could you optimistically fetch the descriptions and/or cache them across users? Would be cool if the people looking at art were bumped to the top, I’m more interested in what art ppl are looking at vs. ppl who r just browsing. And ppl could be encouraged to chat more if the chat input is always visible vs. having to hit a button first!

when I'm feeling uninspired I like to return to the classics so i made a way to doomscroll the moma archives

@MeghanBobrowsky what does the groupchat think about this: peepeepoopoostreet.com

shockingly my pitch to our WSJ tech bureau to buy the naming rights to this street is not taking off whatsoever in our slack groupchat

@rtwlz We have the opportunity to do the funniest thing x.com/will__ye/statu…

Ever wanted to NAME A STREET? We’re auctioning off the naming rights to an actual alley in San Francisco. Highest bidder can name it whatever they want. Ends Tuesday at 1pm PT
