11pm RFP. Morning decision: chase, clarify, or save the week.

Hermes Procurement Operator turns the bid into a capture memo, drafts the next move, and keeps email/spend paused behind proof.

Built with Hermes, Nemotron, Stripe, and Agent Trust Ledger.

@garrytan Can I donate time and work instead of money?

[Thomas Chung @chungty]

@garrytan Really compelling. Decision traces get much more useful when paired with tiered memory:

L1: active reasoning
L2: episodic logs / audit trail
L3: distilled precedent / policy

agents preserve the why, and avoid re-learning the same lesson without overwhelming context window.

I built a tool that roasts your iPhone based on your app collection.

"226 apps, 4 meditation apps, 4 language apps, 0 inner peace, 0 new languages."

It scans your phone over USB, writes obituaries for your dead apps, and calculates how many swipes you waste per year.

And it writes obituaries for your dead apps.

"Clubhouse (2021–2023): Downloaded during two frenzied weeks when everyone pretended they wanted to listen to strangers talk."

(these really were mine).

This might be the end of @cartainc as the trusted platform for startups.

As a founder it feels kind shitty that Carta, who I trust to manage our cap table, is now doing cold outreach to our angel investors about selling Linear shares to their buyers.

@sam_d_1995 Would underground skyscrapers be too impractical?

I wish that audio volume had more meaningful settings than 1-10. Maybe a more succinct version of “over 85 db causes marginal risk of hearing loss. Dad’s not making this up”

@dgreschler @EggersMatt True. The nice thing about electrification though is that it enables dynamic hvac optimization tech to have more impact -- the kinds of tech that can already dynamically cool based on occupancy and usage could be applied to heat, ev, battery and other electrified infrastructure.

Voice assistants should respond back to you at the decibel level that you’re speaking.

Quick 🧵 on wet bulb temperature and why it matters for human survivability.

To understand this, first some facts about the human body. To survive, humans need to keep their body temperature within a few degrees of 98°F.

20 yrs ago, my friends used phones to chat and sms.
10 yrs ago, we used cellular networks to watch Netflix.
Now, we summon self-driving cars and operate buildings adaptively and autonomously.
In the next 10 yrs, count on sustainable, connected cities and utilities based on 5G.
