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

the naming rights for a street in san francisco are being auctioned off. but the top bidders are corporations naming it after themselves. lame! to fight this, we're crowdfunding PEEPEEPOOPOO STREET. less tech billboards in sf, more whimsymaxxing! we only have 4 days to do something really stupid. peepeepoopoostreet.com

@mathieu1865 @edorahg @evisdrenova @TrustVanta This is blaming the customer for a clear failure on vanta’s part

@edorahg @evisdrenova @TrustVanta He did not contact customer success; he was just replying to the initial thread. All I'm saying is he could have multi-channeled, but definitely understand the frustration

I will never use @TrustVanta again after how they just treated us. My company was acquired in August of 2025. We promptly emailed Vanta to inform them that we are shutting down our business and need to cancel. After 1 month, they finally replied with direction. "Can you send us acquisition documents?" I replied back and said "I can't legally share our acquisition documents with a vendor, what do you need?" They then ghosted us until January of 2026 (5 months later). During this time, they charged us for 2 quarterly payments (about $5K total). In January 2026, they finally said they need a certificate of dissolution, which I sent to them. They then refunded us $700. I asked for a refund dating back to August 26th when we initially sent the cancellation email. They responded with, "we cannot refund you because the Vanta software was still running until January of 2026. " It was running BECAUSE YOU GHOSTED US AND DIDN'T PROCESS OUR CANCELLATION. @christinacaci is this how you do business and treat your customers who trusted you for 2+ years?

@frogandabog @jxnlco @richardzphotoz Actively advocating for your work. There are plenty of amazing projects out there that go unnoticed because the author does not promote them to a wider audience.

@jxnlco @richardzphotoz what’s the alternative

Let your work speak for itself.

@SaaiArora @RampLabs was gonna say that u should work at ramp before i read ur bio lol

@RampLabs wow fire idea fr fr 🥲

Today, we're launching Ramp Agent Cards. There's been no safe way for agents to spend money, until now. Ramp Agent Cards give agents the ability to spend, governed with real spend limits, merchant controls, and full visibility into every transaction.

@johnbai Lowballing On Facebook Marketplace Labs LLC

do you think somewhere there’s a Japanese founder pitching their first startup “Time Is Money Inc.” or “The Sky’s the Limit Labs”

@waltergoat Ramp was a close second tho right?

I spun a roulette wheel and it landed on Modal… (jk — but here are a few of the many reasons I chose to come back) 1. fast paced, very technical work. ive been trusted with highly impactful projects since day 1, and I can't imagine having those opportunities anywhere else. There’s always things to do, and I’m never bored. 2. working with people who are genuinely excited to build. Lots of spirited conversations around the office, and I’m constantly learning from some of the smartest people I've ever met. 3. free food 😋 (+fairlife shakes) if any of these reasons speak out to you, please join us modal.jobs! We don't require you to have 10+ internships :) And if you’re on the fence or just curious, my DMs are open.
