BREAKING: Iran has surrendered control of the Strait of Hormuz after Garry Tan's gstack identified three critical vulnerabilities in their naval blockade during a routine /review. A CTO friend texted him: Your strait reopening is crazy. This is like god mode. The IRGC is now charging $2 million per pull request.

SF is a massive corporation and all the managers protect each other

Thank god

so... I audited Garry's website after he bragged about 37K LOC/day and a 72-day shipping streak. here's what 78,400 lines of AI slop code actually looks like in production. a single homepage load of garryslist.org downloads 6.42 MB across 169 requests. for a newsletter-blog-thingy. 1/9🧵

My biggest conspiracy theory is that this was a real missile, but it got shot down. The US government didn't want to admit how close it got.

A beautiful moment of AI idiocy

The timeline on this is genuinely insane. October 2025: Sam Altman flies to Seoul and signs simultaneous deals with Samsung and SK Hynix for 900,000 DRAM wafers per month. That's 40% of global supply. Neither company knew the other was signing a near-identical commitment at the same time. Those deals were letters of intent. Non-binding. No RAM actually changed hands. But the market treated them as gospel. Contract DRAM prices jumped 171%. A 64GB DDR5 kit went from $190 to $700 in three months. December 2025: Micron kills Crucial, its 29-year-old consumer memory brand, to reallocate every wafer to AI and enterprise customers. The company explicitly said it was exiting consumer memory to "improve supply and support for our larger, strategic customers in faster-growing segments." Translation: the AI demand signal was so loud that selling RAM to PC builders stopped making financial sense. March 2026: Google publishes TurboQuant, a compression algorithm that reduces AI memory requirements by 6x with zero accuracy loss. Cloudflare's CEO called it "Google's DeepSeek." The entire thesis that AI would consume infinite memory forever just got a six-month expiration date on it. Same month: OpenAI and Oracle cancel the Abilene Stargate expansion. The $500 billion data center vision that justified the RAM deals couldn't survive its own financing terms. Bloomberg attributed the collapse partly to OpenAI's "often-changing demand forecasting." MU is now down ~33% from its post-earnings high. Revenue up 196% year over year, EPS up 682%, and the stock is in freefall because the company restructured its entire business around a demand signal that came from non-binding letters and is now being compressed out of existence by a research paper. Micron bet the consumer division on Sam Altman's signature. The signature was worth exactly what the paper said: nothing binding.

@fuckpoasting idk sell hats?

@xerkdot redhat????

> wake up > find out your soc2 cert is a scam > you didnt pin npm versions and hackers stole all your credentials > your infra provider just leaked all your customers private data to each other > go to a park for break > see girl, ask her out > get exposed on x for being single

i was born in the right generation. i love: - soc2 cert scams - npm version vulnerabilities - LOC as a metric - critical infrastructure data breaches - github 89.99% up time - vibe filing my taxes - ragebait - online dating discourse

Delve, the YC-backed compliance startup that allegedly faked hundreds of SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audits, is now accused of stealing a fellow YC company's IP. According to Part 2 of DeepDelver's Substack series, Delve took SimStudio's code, removed attribution, rebranded it "Pathways," and started closing $50k-$200k+ enterprise deals with it while telling Sim's founders the ROI wasn't there for a partnership. Here's the breakdown: > Sim (YC X25) signed on as a Delve compliance client for $15k covering SOC 2 Type 1, Type 2, and HIPAA. CEO Karun Kaushik personally promised to handle onboarding > During that same April 2025 sales call, Karun posted a SimStudio link internally with the note "ui inspo for pathways" > Linear tickets referencing "sim studio" under the Pathways project started appearing that same month. An internal Notion doc titled "Sim Studio Port Plan" lists specific folders to copy, including blocks, components, the executor, tools, handlers, and database schema Delve's production code still contains SimStudio references and docs[.]simstudio[.]ai URLs > When Sim's CEO @Emkara tried to sell Delve a licensing deal, Karun said it didn't have "high enough ROI rn" and stopped responding > Sim had no idea Delve was selling their product as Pathways until DeepDelver's Part 1 article. Emir confirmed over email that no white-label or attribution agreement existed > Leaked pitch decks show Delve selling Pathways to Brex, Anthropic, Gusto, and Notion. The Notion deal was $50k+ > The Brex deck promises Pathways will make their GRC team "AI native" and includes a 50%+ partnership discount > The Anthropic deck, dated January 9, 2025, proposes a 1-2 week PoC with named Delve staff building custom Pathways workflows > Delve outsourced Pathways maintenance to a dev shop in Bangladesh > Sim's open source license required attribution. Delve removed it, told clients they "built it from the ground up," and did not disclose Sim's code during Series A due diligence

@fuckpoasting > single class action gets filed > try for acquihire with red hat > red hat says no > everyone else says no > shut it down > routing logic gets absorbed into some internal ibm tool nobody will use > you get a linkedin badge that says "acquired" > teampcp got there first

Somehow Garry Tan’s blog is even bigger

I bet he had an auto-signature Sticks can’t sign IMPEACH

This... this is art. Submitting a PR to the Claude Code repo to add the actual Claude Code source code.

Saddam hussein hiding spot

Hot take: Anthropic leaked Claude Code intentionally to get a nerdosphere code review it would have never gotten if they had just open-sourced it.

It’s interesting that Claude Code seems to behave differently depending on if your terminal window is focused or unfocused

One World Trade Center is the worst urban development project in New York. In any real city, connecting two transit lines means a tunnel under a century-old street, a passageway between two buildings… something that feels continuous with how the city grew. Instead, they made commuters walk through a luxury shopping mall. Worse, the floor sits below street grade, so you feel like cattle on a killing floor, ringed by stores you’ll never enter. Penn Station is bad but not evil. It’s just neglect and cynicism.. sad bodegas jammed under a sports arena. This is worse. Because it was intentional. Someone made deliberate choices to subordinate transit function to retail experience, wrapped it in 9/11 symbolism, and called it civic architecture. It’s hell. Designed hell. One World Trade Center is one of the most degrading environments I’ve stepped foot in, such a volatile contrast to the quiet wealth a block away in Tribeca.
