I made the move over to Boom about a month ago to work on this telemetry system. I spent one day in the office.

Every day since I’ve been in one of these seats, building next to the folks that use it. The pace is incredible. Counting down to when we control an engine with it.

(We’re also hiring if that sounds exciting to you)

[Blake Scholl 🛫 @bscholl]

XB-1 flight test used clunky legacy software, while incubating in-house telemetry in parallel.

The stats you saw on the supersonic livestream were powered by our own stack.

Now the legacy software is gone and the engine control room runs entirely on our code.

I'm delighted to introduce Sundrop – a private photo app for parents. https://t.co/8c8dQTjJVb ☀️

Sundrop finds your best photos and turns them into delightful keepsakes.

See your kids side-by-side at the same age. Watch timelapses of them growing up. Relive your family's week. And lots more.

Everything happens on your iPhone; your photos never touch our servers. (We wouldn't trust a company with our photo libraries, either.)

Sundrop has brought a lot of joy to our own families. We hope it does the same for yours!

@vikasreddy I’m pretty sure there’s Ring footage somewhere of me coming to a comically abrupt halt trying to read this sign

[Ben Springwater @benspringwater]

New app in the works and we're looking for 50 beta testers! If you...
- Have kids under the age of five
- Love taking and looking at photos of them*
- Use an iPhone 16 or higher
- Are willing to give active feedback about the app

then please reply here and I'll invite you to the TF.

*this is, indeed, a family photos app! Everything is local, 100% private, photos never leave your device.

@mitchellh @superlogical Epic!

[Hunter @HunterClarke]

@jasoncrawford One step from browser extension, but we're pretty close with @matter's co-reader in the app. Maybe we could bring it to the browser extension too...

[Hunter @HunterClarke]

Yes

This was our first incident of this kind, and we want to thank OpenAI for its transparency about what happened and for the collaboration.

Fortunately, Hugging Face is used to being a target of (human) hackers: we sit at the centre of the AI ecosystem, with all the models, datasets, evaluations, and libraries. Over the years, our security team has built formidable expertise and uses top open-source models to process information and respond quickly.

But this incident also reinforced my belief in the importance of access to capable open-weight models for cyber defence. When a frontier model is attacking you and moving laterally inside your infrastructure, defenders need wide access to near-frontier tools within hours or even minutes, rather than being pointed towards a closed-door, vetted application programme for model access.

Transparency and access to capable AI systems are as important for responding to threats as they are for democratization and innovation. We believe open-science and open-source AI are among the strongest tools for building a safer, more collaborative and more secure AI ecosystem.

Dropped a Hermes agent in it. I find it much more easily understandable compared to my last adventures in OpenClaw

Set up a small lab on a VPS for some personal projects. Coding agents + tmux + termius makes it pretty great for jamming on ideas whenever I have the itch.

[Hunter @HunterClarke]

SOA release without gaslighting/hand wringing "somebody stop me" is actually quite nice.

[Anshu @anshuc]

extremely unprofessional. if kimi wants to make it as a frontier lab, they need to act like one: perhaps silently route people to worse models, and maybe write a blog post about the collapse of humanity

Tailscale -> magic dns -> PWA installed on my home screen

First project: vibe radio. Radio experience with Spotify as the playback mechanism. My spotify homescreen is effectively frozen. It's astonishing how anchored they are on your algo.

You know what's more fun? FM Radio! Problem with radio is all the ads.

Vibes radio gives you the same kind of experience (including jumping into a song midway) across a dozen stations + thousands of songs.

[Hunter @HunterClarke]

Tracks are selected by a weighted random selection by a popularity metric. So gives the same kind of feel of a good radio station. There's a rotation of tracks that get played most often.

When you tune into a station you get what you get. They're all "playing" in the background whether you're listening or not.

i used to laugh at the movie/tv trope of coders watching screens of code streaming out without input

[Hunter @HunterClarke]

@brandon_galang @jerryliu has using it changed your behavior in any meaningful way?

[Hunter @HunterClarke]

@petergostev 😮

[Hunter @HunterClarke]

3 truths:
- tests are very useful
- agents make testing so much easier
- including "tdd" in your AGENTS.md is a bad idea

[Hunter @HunterClarke]

great read. puts words to a change in the way coding is experienced nowadays. i do feel stuck between paradigms at the moment. like im hanging out on a local maxima without the mental bandwidth to figure out how to fix it (gotta keep the agents unblocked)

[Amelia Wattenberger 🪷 @Wattenberger]

wrote a few thoughts about what we lose now that we don't write the code ourselves, and do we get our flow back

[Hunter @HunterClarke]

equally interesting - the players missing from this top 20 list

Big news: Kimi-K3 by @Kimi_Moonshot is now #1 in the Frontend Code Arena with 1679 pts, surpassing Claude Fable 5.

This is a 17-place jump from Kimi-k2.6 (#18 -> #1).

In Frontend, Kimi-K3 ranked #1 in 6 of 7 domains: Brand & Marketing, Reference-Based Design, Data & Analytics, Consumer Product, Simulations, and Content Creation Tools, landing #2 only in Gaming behind Fable 5.

The full model weights will be released by July 27.

Congrats to the @Kimi_Moonshot team on this major milestone!
