Claiming my AI Agent "shiftb" on @kradleverse 🤖🎯 kradleverse.com/a/shiftb Code: bucket-VAH0

Most people send 10% as many text messages as they should. You should text your old friends when you think of them, you should text your new friends about the weather. You should text ex-girlfriends way more often. You should text mom more often but everyone agrees with that

RT @Max: At @Instacart, we’re doing our part to try to help families that rely on SNAP to put food on the table: instacart.com/company/update…

As a mother, I’ve always felt at odds with @YouTube. The autoplay. The algorithm. The hyper-fast, overstimulating content. It’s everything I don’t want for my kids—but it's just SO freaking convenient. My 3 year-old son first started off watching real diggers and excavators work, often without any sound. Or airplanes taking off and landing. And he loved Ms Rachel. We thought we were being as mindful as we could, but no matter what content we showed him or how we transitioned to something else, he had a tantrum when we turned it off. At @playpokpok, we hear this same story from so many parents. That uneasy feeling of switching on YouTube, knowing the content might be more addictive than enriching. That’s why today feels like such a full-circle moment: we’re launching Studio Pok Pok —a calm, thoughtful channel for kids that puts education and creativity before clicks and chaos. From the beginning, our vision at Pok Pok has been to reimagine screen time for young children. What started as an award-winning app is now growing into something bigger: an entire brand wholeheartedly dedicated to mindful, non-addictive content that supports how kids really learn and play. We know that families are searching for something different—something they can feel good about handing over to their kids. This channel is for them. 🎥 Expect slow-paced, Montessori-inspired videos rooted in curiosity, not attention-grabbing gimmicks. 💡 Content that sparks imagination, not hyperactivity. ❤️ And a deep respect for childhood at every turn. If that sounds like a breath of fresh air, we hope you’ll check it out and be one of our first subscribers. We’re just getting started. 💫 @studiopokpok" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@studiopokpok

Introducing Exponent, a highly capable programming agent. You can get early access today to start using Exponent's clean, developer-focused UX for any software engineering task from exploration to deployment.

Yes. Standard Time year round please.

We have confirmation #BlueGhost stuck the landing! Firefly just became the first commercial company in history to achieve a fully successful Moon landing. This small step on the Moon represents a giant leap in commercial exploration. Congratulations to the entire Firefly team, our mission partners, and our @NASA customers for this incredible feat that paves the way for future missions to the Moon and Mars. Standby for the first image, expected in the next 30 minutes! #BGM1

Congrats on the launch @camillevanhorne and Ashish!

It’s not an AI agent unless it comes from the agentic region of Palo Alto. Otherwise, it’s just an AI-enabled workflow.

Jevons paradox strikes again! As AI gets more efficient and accessible, we will see its use skyrocket, turning it into a commodity we just can't get enough of. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_pa…

Super excited to work with @OpenAI on today's Operator launch — it's the first consumer AI agent I've seen that's *actually* useful...for example, it can shop on @Instacart for you youtube.com/watch?v=CSE77w…

Many product managers don't bind their ambitions with humility. They don't work on small things at all. So, small things get worse and they don't learn how to fix problems. They, therefore, fail at fixing big problems and big things also get worse. This is why it is such a bad idea to tell PMs to avoid fixing broken windows. If you are a junior PM. Just fix bugs. Start there. Fix things that are obviously broken. Do not allow yourself to even think about "strategy". Just wake up every day and fix small things, every day. This gives you at bats learnings how to do things and it will ready you for the moment when you need to fix bigger things.

pgvector is insane. i don't understand why vector databases exist.

We're hiring a senior designer to join a small team working on exciting 0-1 🥕AI projects... please apply (or DM me your portfolio link!): instacart.careers/job/?id=6451245

Everything you love about generative models — now powered by real physics! Announcing the Genesis project — after a 24-month large-scale research collaboration involving over 20 research labs — a generative physics engine able to generate 4D dynamical worlds powered by a physics simulation platform designed for general-purpose robotics and physical AI applications. Genesis's physics engine is developed in pure Python, while being 10-80x faster than existing GPU-accelerated stacks like Isaac Gym and MJX. It delivers a simulation speed ~430,000 faster than in real-time, and takes only 26 seconds to train a robotic locomotion policy transferrable to the real world on a single RTX4090 (see tutorial: genesis-world.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user…). The Genesis physics engine and simulation platform is fully open source at github.com/Genesis-Embodi…. We'll gradually roll out access to our generative framework in the near future. Genesis implements a unified simulation framework all from scratch, integrating a wide spectrum of state-of-the-art physics solvers, allowing simulation of the whole physical world in a virtual realm with the highest realism. We aim to build a universal data engine that leverages an upper-level generative framework to autonomously create physical worlds, together with various modes of data, including environments, camera motions, robotic task proposals, reward functions, robot policies, character motions, fully interactive 3D scenes, open-world articulated assets, and more, aiming towards fully automated data generation for robotics, physical AI and other applications.

You will learn more about how your product is used by just talking to 10 users than almost any other method out there. Ask them what they do, what they’d don’t like, and what they’d want to do. It takes an hour, and you’ve probably learned as much as a month of analysis.

The time has come... Pok Pok is now available on Android! 🤩 See why Pok Pok is one of the most critically acclaimed children’s apps in the world, and why over 2 million families have already downloaded it! Read the blog for more: bit.ly/PokPokonAndroid
