Building wallets @rainbowdotme. Dabbling in AI, crypto, and China studies

[Matthew Prince 🌥 @eastdakota]

Welp, that happened faster than I predicted. Thought it would be end of 2027, then early 2027, but agentic traffic growing so fast that bots have now passed human traffic online for the first time in the Internet's history. https://t.co/2zX5bHdhsa

The Grok integration for Tesla FSD is a bit disappointing at its current stage. It only exposes destination selection, whereas it should also enable 'steering' in the same way we use agent harnesses to redirect or teach new behavior. Turn signals are the only way it speaks back.

[Daniel Sinclair @_DanielSinclair]

This is a pretty bad demo, but it does feel like something in this realm is missing. Waymo is maybe a bit closer than Tesla FSD, but the UX of the control plane is totally missing from autonomous cars. Dropping a pin doesn't convey "go that way" or teach it your preferred route.

[NVIDIA DRIVE @NVIDIADRIVE]

What if you could hear what your car is thinking? 💭

This NVIDIA Alpamayo demo gives voice to the internal reasoning behind an autonomous drive — showing how the vehicle evaluates the road, plans its next move and adapts to city traffic while the driver enjoys the ride.

Are we still on cmux this week or has a new mux dropped

[Daniel Sinclair @_DanielSinclair]

Factory and Amp seem to be the most interesting products in the harness wars. Always ahead of the puck.

[Factory @FactoryAI]

Introducing model routing to Factory.

Factory Router picks the right model for every task, automatically.

Maintain frontier performance while cutting costs by 25%.

[Adil Mania. @adilmania]

he was right.

but he was early.

If Susie Wiles is directing AI policy, is Sacks sacked then?

[Andrew Curran @AndrewCurran_]

President Trump has signed the AI Executive Order.

@y_molodtsov I’m rooting for Whoop over Google any day, but I do think we’ve seen peak Whoop unless they change something.

[Daniel Sinclair @_DanielSinclair]

Whoop seems to have missed the mark. It seems like everyone would shell out $200 or more for it if they didn't lock you into a subscription. Everyone and their brother is buying a Fitbit Air and saying it sucks, but probably keeping it anyway just because it isn't Whoop.

[Daniel Sinclair @_DanielSinclair]

@DanielM65604046 Which do you like? The upcoming Cirqa is intriguing but still not available.

[Daniel Sinclair @_DanielSinclair]

The X everything app is feeling quite a bit vibe coded these days. The refresh oddly became very slow this week.

[Daniel Sinclair @_DanielSinclair]

Did Apple already nuke Chronicle OTA? Seeing this every 10 minutes now.

[Daniel Sinclair @_DanielSinclair]

Just had a Tesla on FSD do the thing where you travel over a bump and accidentally rev the accelerator a bit. Sir you do not have feet. It’s funny what the model is picking up in ghost driver RL training.

[Daniel Sinclair @_DanielSinclair]

The post-pandemic telemed world is wild right now. It became easy to use these services for routine refills, mail-order meds, mail-in lab work, and now every week I get another email about an acquisition/merger/bundling. It's musical chairs out there.

[Daniel Sinclair @_DanielSinclair]

Linear is on a legendary run collapsing the entire workflow stack. In the realm where labs are buying up old Slack archives from defunct startups, Linear is going to be a lot more valuable than it is today.

[Karri Saarinen @karrisaarinen]

Team Docs beta for @linear. One of our most requested features

In this video, I continue the journey and show how we use Linear, Figma, and Slack to build these features + how Team Docs & Home works.

If you want to try it, reply with your workspace name

[Daniel Sinclair @_DanielSinclair]

@bobbydownes The Lymow does have stereo vision and ultrasonic sensors, but needless to say, the Chinese startups are better at hardware than software and I don't even think they are active. It'll occasionally just RTK drift and try to drive into these easily classified objects. Some day!

[Daniel Sinclair @_DanielSinclair]

It’s still underappreciated how quickly we’ll see dispersion of these robots. You could easily spend 3x the cost of this one on a riding mower, or even double that annually for a lawn service. These are going to be adopted so much faster than robotic vacuums were.

[Daniel Sinclair @_DanielSinclair]

Your clankers want you to be Strava maxxing and triathlete training

[Pete Oxenham @peteoxenham]

strava mcp launched today lfg

[Daniel Sinclair @_DanielSinclair]

@Basileus_X Half of that. I'd expect those prices to come down too over the next few years.

[Daniel Sinclair @_DanielSinclair]

@fzrkid1 That's the difference now; this generation is based on RTK and vision/lidar, and Chinese batteries/motors got much better and cheaper, so they can do much more. Acres per day vs sqft.

[Daniel Sinclair @_DanielSinclair]

@Hi_trust_societ @amandaorson I have it do about half of that each day and rotate. It will spend more time charging than mowing, but will finish within daylight hours. You use them a bit differently; they're more passive and just always working on something on a rotation. Ideally you forget they are there.
