This is the classic case of the solution becoming the problem it was meant to solve. It also shows just how effective Truecaller was in helping consumers avoid unwanted calls. Banks and firms are incentivized to hit sales KPIs. Give them a trusted lane, and they'll use it.

[Vishal Mathur @vishalmathur85]

While @TRAI's current methods to curb spam are useless, they want to weaken apps such as @Truecaller too. Never has Truecaller incorrectly labeled a genuine call as spam, in my experience. 140 series is basically unwanted calls. Banks increasingly using 1600 series to sell stuff.

@FredrikHjelm4 It was almost a war like situation after the match to secure a Voi. Fortunately I had reserved mine at the right time.

SpaceX eyeing the enterprise revenue that Claude Code was generating and Cursor without a proprietor model was struggling to fight anyways. Seems to be a good deal for both of them

[Bull Theory @BullTheoryio]

BREAKING: SpaceX has agreed to acquire Cursor, the world's fastest growing software startup, for $60 billion in an all stock deal.

Cursor has over 1 million paying customers, more than $2 billion in annualized revenue, and is projected to hit $6 billion by end of 2026.

At $60 billion, this is the largest software acquisition in history, paying 20 to 30 times Cursor's current revenue.

The deal is subject to regulatory approval and expected to close in Q3 2026.

SpaceX now owns the rockets, the satellites, the AI models, the chips, and is about to own the tool every developer on earth uses to write code.

I don’t know but it feels like this whole thing of “Model is too dangerous” seems to be working in Anthropic’s favour. Look at the valuation they are heading towards and in few days the model would be back anyways. It’s actually a great marketing for them.

[AshutoshShrivastava @ai_for_success]

Dario Amodei, you did this to yourself.

[Akash Bangad @Akash_Bang]

The limited time I spent with this model, It has been absolutely insane. They decided to ban the model on a Saturday just when I had some time on hand to test it out properly.

@sergeynazarovx @ProductHunt Congratulations man, No ads is great! How did you grow organically to 5k ? I found your product due the tweet from levelsio did that help you with product discovery as well ?

[Akash Bangad @Akash_Bang]

@s13k_ claude --update

[Akash Bangad @Akash_Bang]

The party won't last for long, Fable 5 is slated to be behind the usage credit after 22nd June. I guess Ill be experimenting with my most ambitious feature addition to my projects in this time to get an understanding of how good this model is.

[Akash Bangad @Akash_Bang]

@s13k_ Strange, I just updated on my mac and got the model in model selector.

Tried using Flow last night to generate some UGC for promoting Sortberry. Creating the first scene feels insanely smooth, but keeping the following scenes consistent is still a struggle.

Also, if you're in Stockholm, check out Sortberry. It’s basically Tinder for events.

[Akash Bangad @Akash_Bang]

Would have been nice to have the website updated to show the contenders that made it to round 2

[@levelsio @levelsio]

🏆 Round 1 of judging the Vibe Jam of 2026 sponsored @cursor_ai + @boltdotnew + @heyglif + @tripoai is finished now

We've gone through almost 1000 submissions now, and there's some really great games in there and a huge leap vs last year's #vibejam

We're now onto Round 2 where me and @s13k_ start rating games a score of 1 to 10, I think we can finish that this week

Then in Round 3 the other judges enter to rate the final 50-100 games and we will know the winners!

I'm a bit slow but that's what happens with so many submissions, and I want to give games a proper chance, not just skip through!

P.S. @s13k_ built a great judging system for us to use, most games work fine in an iframe and if not we open it in a new tab to rate, which you can see here

The interior design is kind of cool. Instead of throwing an iPad on the dashboard they came up with a hybrid approach and the physical buttons look gorgeous as well.

Ferrari has just released a new video of the all-electric Ferrari Luce.

Finally took out some time to setup a VPS with Claude code and man I can see what @levelsio was talking about. Feels like such a big unlock to have access to Claude code on the phone. Now it’s time to build

[Akash Bangad @Akash_Bang]

Hey @levelsio curious on why don’t you let claude code run on VPS and expose the conversation via /remote you then don’t need Tmux.

[Akash Bangad @Akash_Bang]

For the one's interested in why I started Sortberry. I have been in Stockholm since last 5 years and I have always found it difficult to find cool stuff happening in the city.

I wanted a simple place to discover and get reminded for the stuff I liked and thus Sortberry was born

[Akash Bangad @Akash_Bang]

Hej Stockholmers,

I built something for Stockholm, Its tinder for events and cool stuff happening in the city.

Swipe Right for the events you are interested in and on the day of the Event you get a reminder in your mail. Its that simple.
