@steren Do you think its possible to implement sandboxes in user space on top of cloud run? Or are there certain primitives missing?

[Aleem Mawani @aloo]

just me or is codex overusing the word "spike" today?

[Aleem Mawani @aloo]

@steren @vmg__0 When mounting, can the agent have access to just a subpath in a bucket or is it required that each agent have their own bucket. We anticipate running millions of agents for our customers.

@msimoni The turbopuffer founder went into a lot of detail on how they abuse object stores to make a database optimized for one use case (search): https://t.co/HNuZs1mKV6

[Aleem Mawani @aloo]

@sch Have you been able to get codex to make changes?

[Aleem Mawani @aloo]

@sch There needs to be an anti-home installer. Someone who de-shitifies and removes all the home automation crapware that only installers can edit and replaces it with consumer tech that’s better in every dimension. Lutron I’m looking at you.

[Aleem Mawani @aloo]

evidence is all the proxy services popping up that will create an MCP frontend for your REST API. so stupid.

[Aleem Mawani @aloo]

every saas adding mcp support is such pointless busywork inflicted by anthropic and openai - i can only assume it was laziness

[Aleem Mawani @aloo]

@dodeja @aboodman They always manufacture scarcity regardless of the demand. Same reason they make you apply to buy cars

[Matt Wensing 🐙 @mattwensing]

"load-bearing" is the new em-dash

[Aleem Mawani @aloo]

@dodeja yeah i feel like they hired LoveFrom to make an awesome interior (which they did) but didn't give them much say over the exterior and Johnny can't really bad mouth the rest of the car.

[Aleem Mawani @aloo]

@dodeja yeah unique to ferrari but not to the industry so tons more competition for "fast ev blob" segment.

[Aleem Mawani @aloo]

@dodeja Ok maybe ugly was wrong. But the look is a shape we’ve all seen before nothing new. So what exactly are they betting on.

[Aleem Mawani @aloo]

@dodeja right but redefine it as what exactly?

iphone: "yes it doesn't have a keyboard, but we're betting you won't need it with this amazing software and UI"

luce: "yes its horribly ugly, but in return you get...."

what?

[Aleem Mawani @aloo]

@dodeja maybe its just an amazing drive - but nothing published yet supports that

[Aleem Mawani @aloo]

@reed @WaltLightShed can you share all the juicy details about why you can't do curbside? don't expect you to name and shame but is this a tech problem or a politics problem or a logistics problem?

[Aleem Mawani @aloo]

Initially you were concerned that there was no upside, but now it sound like you think the marketing is mostly misleading.

On the marketing, don't really agree but i guess its subjective.

On the upside - disagree, I think late stage is a great risk adjusted place to invest and hence my argument around spectrum.

[Aleem Mawani @aloo]

Those two quotes are very relative. Even a late stage check IS actually investing before it’s obvious…. relative to when the company goes public. Sure it’s obvious to the people that were following the company during its seed. But that’s what I mean that it’s all a spectrum and they are living up to their promise imo by giving you access to a part of the spectrum a lot ppl didn’t have before

@Mike_Pevzner @Waymo shotgun is wild
