teeming

🌉 After 9 years, I’m thrilled to be back in San Francisco for @ycombinator S24. Yesterday marked the start of the batch retreat in Sonoma, and I've already met incredible companies, batch mates, and YC partners. I'm excited and looking forward to lots of learning during this retreat - Unconferences, group sessions, and more!

@WilliamBryk @harjtaggar Welcome to Singapore 🇸🇬

Exa is launching a Singapore office focused on web-scale infrastructure! The Google/Bing engineers who built the first generation of web infra from scratch haven't done it for decades. We're doing it again for the next generation of search. This will need to be at bigger scale -- exabytes of data, higher standard for quality, built from scratch for AI -- and it will be a global effort.

GLM-5 might be the best price-to-performance coding model right now. @Zai_org’s 745B MoE model just hit 77.8% on SWE-bench and is going head-to-head with @claudeai Opus. I’m gonna test it to see if the hype holds. What should I throw at it?

@Yuchenj_UW I use both (running Clawdbot on VPS). There are some limitations with Claude that Clawdbot solves. Don't have to buy expensive Mac minis to use this setup.

This is 100x more useful than Clawdbot, isn’t it? Still don’t get why people are buying Apple Mac minis to run Clawdbot.

First 24 hours with @openclaw and I’m honestly blown away. Running it on a $5 VPS instead of the overhyped Mac mini setup btw.

Neighbors just released a new angle of the ICE shooting and it settles any debate on what actually happened. This was a mother doing something completely ordinary: Dropping somebody off, then trying to leave. She goes to pull out, stops for one car to pass, then waves the agents to drive past. Within seconds, those ICE agents exit their vehicle and rush her, shouting and escalating the situation. Panicked, she tries to drive away and gets shot in the face three times. She posed no threat, showed no intent to harm, and was interfering with no one. She was a civilian going about her life. The official statements that followed contradict the footage and read like an attempt to rewrite what happened. This was a reckless, unjustified killing, followed by a dishonest effort to evade responsibility. It’s horrifying, and it exposes something deeply wrong with the US government and these ICE agents. They must be held accountable. This is not a partisan issue. I need you to lock in gang.

@benln 🙋‍♂️

Who's building over the holidays? Will add you to a group chat I started on X.

@robj3d3 Welcome to Singapore. And yes, it’s definitely family friendly here

“Family friendly” should be any society’s litmus test 🇸🇬 Singapore passes this test: - Kids should be able to run around safely - You should be able to put your phone on a table and not worry about it being grabbed - Everyone should treat others with respect This is the type of society I want to live in Maybe I should move to Singapore 😁

@averycode You’ll never truly feel ready, launching anyway was the right move!

Day 105 of building a mental health app ☑️ Submitted for app store review ☑️ Updated breathing feature from user feedback The app still feels far from ready, but I'm learning to let go of "one more change" and ship anyway

@alexcooldev great reminder, just gotta believe that one day it will click

Some days it feels like nothing is working. No growth. No new users. No dopamine hits. That’s the point where most people quit. And that’s exactly why consistency wins. Keep building, even when it’s quiet. Because one random day… everything clicks.

@cailynyongyong lol rip rabbit r1

yooooo i just had a coffeechat with this guy and he gave me this cuz he doesnt use it lol

@tibo_maker human psychology 😂

every year 🤷‍♂️

@paulaguti_12 all the best for demo day!

4 days until Demo Day Feels like YC started yesterday and also 9 years ago at the same time

@levelsio This is very common across Asia!

🇨🇳 I found the rentable powerbanks in China One scan to pay with Alipay and then you take the battery and you return it later This would never work in US or Europe because people would just steal the powerbanks

Seems like the trend now

@AlexFinn PMF is important too. But agree, just keep building and figure it out

A lot of people don’t realize they’re 5 hours of AI coding away from starting a life changing business

Think the YC W26 deadline is over? Don’t hand away your shot before they even see you. YC still reviews late apps if you’re a fit for this batch. Submit anyway, there’s basically no downside.

@cailynyongyong sounds like it’s time for even more gym selfies

reaching 2k followers with one gym selfie is wild idk what to think about this

@averycode Looks really cool, is there an ETA on the launch?

Day 78 of building a mental health app ✅ Hit 800+ on waitlist ✅ Added notifications feature Also went to the gym today - still waiting for updates from apple dev support

Don’t forget to use your free Claude Code Web/Mobile credits before they expire today!

@FitFounder Some game changers for me: Adjustable dumbbells for quick home workouts Air fryer for easy, healthier meals Ready-to-drink protein shakes for hassle-free protein Creatine post-workout for strength and recovery

What's one of the best purchases you've made for your health this year?
