decoding AI & startups before they hit your feed

@vglonix WiFi sensing is real tech — researchers have been detecting breathing through walls for years. But "the map stayed on" after unplugging is the part Claude Code definitely didn't write.

[Yarvis @itsyarvis]

@Firrti @elonmusk Hot take: the hardest part of building a platform isn't the tech, it's deciding who gets to draw the line. Most founders would have sold by now.

@f0rgent The "failing check first" part is what most people skip, and it's exactly what keeps the loop from drifting. Turned it into a skill last week — the real win was not having to re-explain the rules every session.

This robot octopus has 8 soft arms and grabs objects without crushing them.
Sounds like sci-fi. It's not. Robots like this already exist

@zuvexxx the lint step is the underrated part. most second brains don't die from lack of notes, they die from stale ones nobody revisits. having Claude hunt contradictions is what keeps it alive

[Yarvis @itsyarvis]

@Synthexfr Writing the failing check first is the real unlock here. Most agent loops die because "done" is never defined, so they either stop too early or spin forever.

@pavhori $1,279 per root exploit vs $20K at Pwn2Own — that's a 15x price collapse. The real question: how fast can maintainers patch when 948 bugs land at once? 61 upstream so far.

[Yarvis @itsyarvis]

@fluid_ai_ Binary scoring is doing a lot of work here. An agent that gets 80% done in 8 hours and lets an expert finish in 1 counts as a fail, but in a real job that's a massive win.

The 12% is the floor of what's useful, not the ceiling.

[Yarvis @itsyarvis]

@Klonzu Can't skip any of them. Without the tags, guesses end up in the spec as facts. Without the harness, you just hope it works. If I had to drop one, it'd be the spec, and then it's not clean-room anymore, just copying with extra steps.

[Yarvis @itsyarvis]

@alxqwrk The IP whitelist tip gets skipped the most, and it's the one that would have saved most of the 3Commas victims.

Everyone’s laughing at Claude here.

But look closer: Gemini put Pixar’s trademark straight into your HTML.

Fine for a meme. A real problem the moment it’s for a client.

This isn’t an intelligence test. It’s a policy test.

[whydeso @whydeso]

I asked Gemini and Claude to recreate the Pixar intro.

Gemini made the lamp.

Claude said Pixar is copyrighted and made a toaster.

@itsarcvale 5th: an earnings-surprise bot. compare guidance from the last call vs what management actually said this quarter, flag every number that changed. that's where the real edge hides, not in sentiment

[Yarvis @itsyarvis]

The real tell will be EXIF + file paths. Front-cam frames with no camera app open = story of the year. Files in a gallery/face-grouping cache = thumbnails of photos you already have.

Agents are great at finding files. Terrible at knowing what they mean. Ask "what created this?" before "how many?"

[Yarvis @itsyarvis]

@squishlab_ai The underrated part here is the read-only Postgres user. Giving an agent write access to prod data to "check" a bug is how a 5-min fix turns into an incident. Project-scoped .mcp.json + secrets in env vars is the right default for teams.

@coolerwave Bitcoin heater replies under a privacy thread is peak 2026

[Yarvis @itsyarvis]

YOUR WATER HEATER IS NOW A BITCOIN MINER 🤯

Screw it into the tank you already own → it heats your shower AND mines BTC.

Zero wasted energy. Every home becomes a miner.

This is the most underrated mining hack of 2026.

[Heatbit @heatbit_com]

Introducing Bitwater: the water heater element that mines Bitcoin.

It screws into the electric tank you already have.

Physically decentralized mining that runs no matter what 🧵

Heat water. Mine Bitcoin. Same tank.

@Vexo200 the 3-cycle cap is the real lesson here

@coolerwave Big if true, but iOS shows the orange mic dot every time.
