23.5 hours later... there's an app and it's open source.

It tracks activities & sleep. It has full sensor support: HR, SpO2, HRV, Temperature, Motion, etc.

We raised $3M on one observation:

Agents learn on your dime. And forget.

Every run, your agent figures out the same APIs, makes the same calls, hits the same failures. Because nothing saved what worked.

We built Rote by @modiqoai to fix this.

Point it at any API. Rote reads the spec and builds a surface your agent can call: auth, endpoints, schemas. That's the adapter.

When your agent finishes a task, Rote saves the exact calls that worked. That's the flow.

Config in. Code out. Runs on your machine. Nothing to watch over.

Agents stop starting from scratch. Teams stop paying for the same work twice.

Are WhatsApp groups more powerful than political parties?

> The thing that I’ve been astonished by...[is] not simply how much of the communication between journalists and MPs was taking place on WhatsApp, but how the MPs talked about their WhatsApp group as their primary focus of loyalty... speaking about the collegiality of the [WhatsApp] group, what the group could and couldn't bear, would the group move together or not. And though I was aware, and I’ve heard anecdotally, the extent to which MPs spend their time on WhatsApp, yesterday was the first time I was struck by the thought that the WhatsApp group is actually one of the things that is structuring loyalty in politics now. And that must be new...in the past there were clubs — Tory dining clubs during the Thatcher years...but given WhatsApp groups are so easily set up but also themselves so dynamic, that feels to me like a really significant shift.

software engineering in 2026:

- your package manager is compromised
- your cloud provider blocks your account
- github itself is hacked

software is solved

What a coincidence that Cuba finally decided to attack America after 70 years, right when the Trump Administration was planning their own regime change. What a strange bit of timing, oh well, let's not look into it!

We should federally tax Tokens at the Provider level.

Not a lot. Less than 50c per million tokens.

It will accomplish 4 things (at least )

1. It will push the big AI players to optimize tokenization, caching , routing and localization

Which will

2. Reduce energy usage. Saving them in energy costs more than what they paid in tax and reducing strain created by the growth in energy consumption

Which will

3. Generate maybe 10 billion dollars a year to start, but over the next ten years could grow 30x to 100x

Which will

4. Create a source of funding to pay down the federal debt or deploy, in response to the things AI brings that we don’t expect or don’t like

At some point the models will pass it on to customers. Of course. That’s ok. Customers will have the ability to choose between providers. Or to do everything using open source models locally.

Thoughts ?

I am noticing a really interesting trend:

my friends who are not technical are getting much further with open claw (etc), etc than my friends who are technical.

it seems that the ability for us to imagine the limits is artificially causing limits that are not there for folks who are not imagining limits.

have you seen the same thing?
