6 months ago, we met a team that was remarkably well aligned with our agentic security vision.

Today, we're joining forces.

We've officially acquired Keypo, Inc., and its founder Dave Blumenfeld is joining us as Founding Engineer, bringing his work on secure enclaves directly into our platform.

@mitsuhiko Probably @MultifactorCOM

Oh and:
- Campaign
- Artifact

[Colin Roberts @Autoparallel]

LLMs really just invent their own language. It’s such a weird thing…
- Smoke
- Gate
- Ablation
- …

These are ones I keep seeing.

@VictorTaelin is probably the only person that I listen to as far as using models

[Colin Roberts @Autoparallel]

@Strava can you stop somehow making your app worse every single week? I'm not sure how you're doing it, but it's killing me.

[Colin Roberts @Autoparallel]

@danrobinson @MartinShkreli Same

[Colin Roberts @Autoparallel]

@itsstock Yes. Delicious is an odd way to describe catching a bug…

[Colin Roberts @Autoparallel]

If Opus 4.8 actually says “delicious” all the time I will lose my mind.

[Colin Roberts @Autoparallel]

I seriously cannot stand how poorly built so many apps are. Trying to build a route in @Strava and it places a waypoint in France (I'm in the US) and now I can't delete it.

This is a core feature of yours that you literally have to pay for. Instead we get Trainer AI that tells me "good job you rode your bike".

Fix your garbage.

@TonyTheMathLion Fortunately for you, Riemannian geometry gives you the Hilbert space you want.

[Colin Roberts @Autoparallel]

@danrobinson Hello again!

[Colin Roberts @Autoparallel]

@danrobinson Hello!

[Colin Roberts @Autoparallel]

@TonyTheMathLion It’s basically just the gamblers fallacy is all

[Colin Roberts @Autoparallel]

Can they focus a tiny bit of that energy on making the app actually fucking work?

[Movez @0xMovez]

Spotify's Chief Architect just showed how they ship 4,5K deployments /day with Claude at Anthropic stage

27-minutes. free. By #1 music app dev

"More than 99% of our engineers use AI coding tools. Adoption took off after Opus 4.5"

Worth more than any $500 vibe-coding course.

@romanbuildsaas I got in at 31 and there were plenty my age or older.

[Colin Roberts @Autoparallel]

Yes absolutely.

A polynomial is very different than a generic analytic function. It doesn’t matter how high order you go, it’s still a polynomial. You’ll never approximate a bounded real analytic function on a large domain at the endpoints. Infinity is much larger than the largest finite number you can construct.

[Colin Roberts @Autoparallel]

People building SaaS claiming we’ve hit AGI will continue to be hilarious to me.
