@simpleailab congrats on the launch! the new model looks and sounds great.

[Jared Hobbs @jaredhobbs]

@brian_lovin Very cool, love the name (shiori = bookmark, right?) and design of the site. The minimalism is very on-brand 😀

[Jared Hobbs @jaredhobbs]

@brian_lovin Ha, fair. At that scale you're fine. Just something to tuck away for when it gets annoying! What are you building?

@_lhermann @uptimerobot $348/y for uptime checks is wild. what tier were you on before they forced the move? curious if they grandfathered anyone or just blanket migrated everyone

@kamal_srini expired certs at a company that literally sells certs is peak irony. this is exactly the kind of thing a $5/mo monitor catches. been running https://t.co/PRJ4FJem9n on my stuff for ssl expiry alerts, takes 2 min to set up

[Jared Hobbs @jaredhobbs]

@Mattymoeai How are you handling uptime for the booking/quote APIs? With Claude agents making calls to external flight data, one silent failure could tank a conversion. Curious if you've hit any edge cases there.

@catheryn_li @simpleailab @firstharmonic Congrats on the fund raise!

[cat @catheryn_li]

Excited to announce that @simpleailab has raised a $14M seed round led by @firstharmonic.

For the past year, we’ve been building AI voice agents to transform direct-to-consumer sales. We fundamentally believe that voice AI is the future of all B2C calls.

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

@chuckcook @cybertruck @teslaenergy @siddawa Ours was activated after the city inspector signed off on the job. Took about 2 days.

Picked up my @cybertruck today! Received the VIN yesterday (100 days since config) and brought the truck home this afternoon. The truck is amazing; totally worth the wait!

[Jared Hobbs @jaredhobbs]

It's been 90 days since I configured my AWD Foundation Series @cybertruck and I'm still waiting on a VIN. A handful of others have already taken delivery here in UT. I haven't heard anything from @Tesla yet... delivery estimate was Jan-March so fingers crossed I can get it soon!

[Jared Hobbs @jaredhobbs]

Congrats on the launch!

We just launched @lanterndb on @ycombinator! 🚀

Lantern is a Postgres vector database that is easy to use, cost-effective, and scales to billions. We support embedding generation, index compression, and external index creation.

[Jared Hobbs @jaredhobbs]

@LunaticTacc Oh no! I'm sure you'll find something even better though!
