@ycombinator@MyUnoWallet@RuleSaket@MordiShadpour How is it possible that these APIs are allowed to be used? Very curious about that but kudos because the marketing and value prop are very polished.
BREAKING: Google is planning to release 32 million mosquitoes across Florida and California.
The company has asked the EPA for permission to proceed, with the public given until June 5 to respond.
The mosquitoes are infected with Wolbachia bacteria, which stops them from reproducing and slowly collapses the wild population from within.
Google's previous Debug Project trial in California's Central Valley nearly eliminated mosquitoes from three test sites entirely. A separate trial in Singapore cut dengue cases by 70% within 12 months.
Google has now released over 1 billion mosquitoes across four continents. This new proposal is the largest deployment in US history.
@ssh_exe_dev is quickly becoming one of my favorite new tools of the post-claude era. Didn't expect shelley to be so useful but for many projects all you really need is a near SOTA agent to quickly put a few files into a folder, host it, and share it internally.
@paulg I think it is more about energy and obsession. I find its easier to work with people who have the energy and find the application/direction, than more “experienced” people who are interested very narrowly on one thing.

We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity.
This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.
Mindblown by @Starlink quality on @airfrance. This feels worth paying double for. This is the second best product experience this year (after Claude). Bravo guys.
Running a company:
2020: can you survive a pandemic?
2021: still here? we’re going to give all of your competitors $100m series A rounds.
2022: wow, you made it? okay, all engineers cost $600,000/year now.
2023: nice job! okay, SVB failed and we’re going to take away your bank account.
2024: a survivor I see. but can you pivot from ai to crypto to defense tech back to ai-enabled defense tech in a 12 month period to stay relevant?
2025: unfortunately all of your competitors have raised $2b series B rounds. oh and only 500 engineers are relevant and they cost $100m/yr each.
2026: well, well, well. you’re still in business? let’s deploy the thunderclap of godlike LLMs from the heavens so all of your customers can rebuild your app in 2 hours. can you survive?
Have been pleasantly surprised at the way https://t.co/JnCUJXQ8TA prices, everything is on the margin so my small hobby projects that don't take too much RAM also don't cost too much. Also really good DX.
You can now arrange your tabs in a vertical sidebar in Chrome!
1) chrome://flags and enable Vertical Tabs
2) Settings -> Appearance -> set "Tab strip position" to Side
Uses the real estate of an external monitor better, and easier tab switching for those of us with a few too many tabs open.
@reed@GjMcGowan@grok More than absolute lives saved we should look at the number of children and otherwise healthy lives saved. Few major diseases affect all with equal vengeance.
@mattyglesias@MattZeitlin Apparently this is a common myth. “Crisis” in Chinese is 危机. The 2nd character 机 is also used in 机会, meaning “opportunity”, but doesn’t mean that by itself.
Available now as a research preview on the Team plan. Enterprise and API access rolling out in the coming days.
Enable with claude --enable-auto-mode, then cycle to it with Shift+Tab.
