Experiencing FOMO that you're not in NYC to attend #TechWeekNYC this week?
Well, you can still participate from afar by participating in the virtual/online events.
I just added a "virtual/online only" option to the gallery page. https://t.co/I5IBiYXm6n
@a16z@aleksj Coming soon...
- add events to your personalized schedule
- push notifications to notify you when an event is starting
- pinpoint your location on the map, to tell you what events are near you, and travel times to the next event.
- @aleksj is adding a chat interface (woohoo!)
Attending #BOSTECHWEEK and frustrated that the official site from @a16z is missing a map view? Well, I've got you covered!
Yesterday, with help from @aleksj, I created a browsable map of all the events happening during Tech Week Boston. https://t.co/qsqvtskehT
@a16z@aleksj Now with search capabilities! Search for a topic you're interested in like "robotics" and it will show you all events for a particular day on that subject, or if you toggle "all days" it will show you all the events. #BOSTechWeek
Huge thanks to Tech Superpowers for fueling food, drinks & Wi-Fi as we pack MIT IHQ with Boston’s AI builders. Demos, science-fair tables, 60-sec pitches—zero fluff, all code. See you 6/30! 🙌 @aitinkerers@valeriano1010@natea@jheitzeb

I spent 153 hours building an AI Content Engine for Agencies & SaaS Founders
It automates YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, & Newsletter content production pipeline
- Auto-posting across all major platforms
- AI-powered ideation for fresh content
- AI scripting for both long-form and short-form content
This system is easily worth $15K, but today it’s FREE
👉 RT + Like & Comment "content" and I’ll DM the JSON file
No opt-in, no BS

BREAKING 🚨
Your coworker is an AI agent.
Nobody noticed.
Introducing Xoul - the marketplace for agents that feel human.
On Xoul, anyone can create and share powerful agents that work together in “swarms” without writing a single line of code.
Can you spot the AI intruder?
Last year, I participated in Downshift's Decelerator—a transformative program that helped me step back & recalibrate my inner compass.
If you're at a crossroads or contemplating your next chapter, I can’t recommend it enough. Learn more: https://t.co/Tgkcjm9J5w

Unlike BeautifulSoup and Scrapy which require you to specify exact HTML elements, Firecrawl lets you describe what you want to extract in plain English. This semantic approach means your scrapers keep working even when websites change their structure.
Today I played with @firecrawl which makes scraping web pages easy. The new extract feature will return structured data according to a schema that you specify.
Oh, and for the schema, you can just describe the elements you want in natural language! #everydai#learninpublic
With the emergence of LLMs, modern web scrapers such as Firecrawl take a fundamentally different approach by using natural language understanding to identify and extract content, rather than relying on brittle HTML selectors.
It’s pretty incredible that using @SeleniumBase, the basic scraper to grab the event title, date and URL is only 19 lines of Python code, and 6 of those are simply print statements for debugging! #everydai#learninpublic
Today for #everydai I built a simple #Django app that imports shows from https://t.co/ItPurkd5JW, and shows them on a calendar.
Used @cursor_ai to build the app, and Simplescraper for scraping, although I’m looking into @SeleniumBase for a cheaper scraping option. #learninpublic
Kicked off a MIT and affiliates month-long startup-athon called Everydai on Monday! We’ll be using AI tools to see if we can build startups in a month in partnership with @codeiumdev and @databricks
We’ll do some building in public if anyone wants to connect!
