Thoughts my own.

I have long legs, so I made some changes to my direction options in google maps.

Shoutout @soren_iverson for the inspiration.

[Andrej Karpathy @karpathy]

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

My dog will dismiss a treat if it’s made of farmed vs wild caught salmon but will chase and try to eat bees at the park, a famously tasty and easy to catch treat.

I can't remember the exact turn of phrase for that frog and the hot water thing but it's happening with jazz and my Spotify Discover Weekly.

It was 62 and beautiful two days ago, and, as I sit here dolefully gazing out my window, it’s now snowing (again). New York is not a serious place.

Autonomous agents are an entirely new category of users to build for, and, increasingly, to sell to.

Today, we’re launching (a preview) of machine payments on @stripe—a way for developers to directly charge agents, with a few lines of code. 🤖💸

$ Let’s start tinkering… ⤵️

@nicholasschrodr @cursor_ai @edwinarbus @ericzakariasson @edwinarbus was there an intentional choice to put all the mustaches on the right side

[Grant Evans @gevasaurus]

I don’t think people adequately appreciate the logistics required to do this.

Have you seen what happens to a city or even just your local neighborhood when collection stops for a few days?

@NYCSanitation where do I buy merch

[NYC Sanitation @NYCSanitation]

We've got 24,000,000 pounds of waste to pick up every day, and, WE ARE DOING IT. Today is Thursday and we are collecting Thursday trash and compost today (though maybe not at the same time that you usually receive collection). Recycling collection may be a little behind.

Snow operations continue, too. We continue to plow, haul, and clear snow from all over – and have now melted 215,000,000 pounds of it!

THE UNBRIDLED GREATNESS OF TRAINS WILL ENDURE FOR A MILLION YEARS

[Alex Atallah @alexatallah]

While we focus on making AI models accessible to developers, @Stripe handles payments, fraud and invoicing.

We help AI apps benefit immediately as model prices continue to drop. Developers send requests through OpenRouter, and Stripe handles payments.

Yes, it’s a government job. No, it won’t sound like one.

We're hiring a Creative Director to run social media for @NYC_DOT—with real freedom to build a voice that's funny, human, and even a tad bit irreverent.

Want to shape the voice of a massive organization, reach millions of people, and set the bar for what public sector storytelling can be? This role is for you!

My team asked me how to give discount codes and create free users

I was gonna make a Loom

But I realized it'd actually be easier to vibe code 1-click @stripe integrations

Here’s the @cursor_ai prompts to steal

1. Discount code creator

Make “Add free user” button to admin panel.

When clicked, it asks for the email. Create a Stripe customer with this email and then create a subscription for product_id with price_id (make a free price in Stripe first).

(For us, this then triggers an email to a user to set their password via @resend.)

2. Free account for an influencer

Make “Create discount code” button in admin panel. When clicked, show the users all possible options to create a discount code or promotion in Stripe. (There's a lot of potential options that are mostly useless so just ask Cursor to delete or hide what you don’t need).

This all took less than 30 minutes

Given how often Loom breaks at this point, it was literally easier and more reliable to do this. Plus more scalable and easier for my team to find than searching in some lost database of Looms.

If you run a SaaS, no excuses.

Make life easier for the whole team.

😉 Watch the video for a real code to use for new customers only!

Insanely bullish on work like this (LLM-driven practice exams, tutoring, scaled educational tools + resources). Having used LLMs to teach myself a number of new things - to varying degrees of success - I'm so excited to see how individual education continues to be augmented by increasingly personalizable learning tools.

[Google @Google]

We’re launching full-length, on demand practice exams for standardized tests in @GeminiApp, starting with the SAT, available now at no cost.

Practice SATs are grounded in rigorously vetted content in partnership with @ThePrincetonRev, and Gemini will provide immediate feedback highlighting where you excelled and where you might need to study more.

To try it out, tell Gemini, “I want to take a practice SAT test.”

My gmail inbox, twice a day:

Searching for a contact I've emailed: "why yes of course! Here's a headshot! You must correspond all the time!"

Looking for emails from this contact: "We searched to the dawn of time and found not so much as a single letter pass between you."
