@mannie_petty @beatport I get a bad gateway error from their CDN (cloudflare).

[Scott Oppliger @oppliger]

@mannie_petty @beatport I just came here to see if anyone else was experiencing issues with Beatport today. I can't get their website to load at all on any computer or from my mixer.

@Paul is being kinder than they deserve, but he’s right. The rules are gone. Laws don’t matter when the deck is stacked and no one to enforce them. The line between democracy and dictatorship is thinner than we wanted to believe. Congress has no teeth, and it’s now obvious that decorum, not law, was doing most of the work separating right from wrong in government. Past corruption at least hid in the dark and feared exposure. This cabinet wears its moral bankruptcy openly, calling bullying and chaos “shaking things up.” He has always been a fraudulent, self-serving operator, and anyone still pretending he cares about anyone but himself is being willfully naive. He is there to enrich himself, protected by money, lawyers, power, and the collapse of accountability. Everything else is theater.

@MikeJohnson is the snakiest, greasiest, most disingenuous little weasel I think I've ever encountered. Every single syllable oozing from his condescending, schmarmy, smartass mouth is bullshit. Each side accuses the other of the same things every term, but this team has rewritten the playbook and titled it, "We'll do whatever the fuck we want, right out in the open, and you can't stop us."

Woot!!

Happy Friday! We've reset everyone's 5-hour and weekly rate limits.

I know, right? Haha 🤣

Skill Dude: send all your ideas to my skill, the IdeoMatic-7000
Me: here’s my idea
IdeaMatic-7000: your idea sucks
Skill Dude: thank you very much

My mind went directly to a similar quip 😂 We’re both kidding, but I can’t resist piling on to what you’re alluding to: be careful out there! This appears to be a Greg Brockman retweet, but always treat anything like this as software from an untrusted source. Be diligent about reading specs, markdowns, libraries, MCP connections - don’t blindly run skills or prompts without fully understanding what they can do, what permissions you’ve given them & what tools they have access to. Figuratively speaking, this entire space is still in alpha phase where innovation rapidly outpaces petty annoyances like security and governance - which is the way we’d all prefer it. But it makes it easier for the bad guys. So, be careful out there. Script kiddies are back. Good callout 👊

I definitely have bookmark-rot. However, this article really hit home with me. It's very tempting to chase down every new framework, platform, agent, harness, method, startup, or paper. It's also human nature to have FOMO for *not* chasing them down. Rohit is right that 90% of them will be gone or forgotten within months. As a result, I organize my YouTube and X posts now by quarter: AI-Q1-2026, AI-Q2-2026, AI-Q2-2026, etc. My advice to entrepreneurs has always been simple: keep building, and don't build in a vacuum. I'm confident that no other industry has ever experienced the pace of iterative innovations as we are now in AI. The pace is so fast that it becomes difficult to choose a specific path to really sink your teeth into knowing full-well you may have to abandon all of it in a matter of months. This factor alone makes it more challenging to gain traction in a tech venture than ever before. So, keep building, don't build in a vacuum, and don't get too attached to a specific path (pets vs. cattle).

@garrytan @yeginbay This is awesome. Gibson was way ahead of his time and hugely influential on my trajectory since first reading Neuromancer in 1984. Read Agency if you haven’t already - super relevant.

NVIDIA just quietly gave every builder free access to 80 AI models.

No one is talking about this.

MiniMax M2.7. DeepSeek 3.2. Kimi 2.5. GLM 5.1. GPT-OSS-120B.

All of them. Free inference. Hosted API. Right now.

It plugs straight into Cursor, Claude Code, Zed IDE, and Hermes agent with 3 lines of setup.

The people who find out about this today will be running experiments that cost everyone else $300 a month.

For free.

Grab your API key at https://t.co/EYXopCfCOV

Set your base URL to https://t.co/pP5pscJM91

Pick a model and start building.

The gap between people who know this and people who don't just got wider.

Your call.

OpenAI staff engineer Ryan Lopopolo banned his team from touching their editors.

his thesis: code is free. context, guardrails, and feedback loops are the moat.

I wrote 8,000 words on how to build that harness. this is the playbook.

@phosphenq Yann has always been a bold challenger to topics in and around AI. Although we may not always agree, I have always enjoyed listening to his thoughts and opinions. I find it valuable to hear as many different perspectives and educated opinions on a subject as possible.

@woon_wong23193 @ZixuanLi_ Wait, people do that?? 👀😂

@WillSmith2real @NatGeo @NatGeoTV @NatGeoScience @JasDavis_ I just wrapped up Ep 2. I didn't catch the episode title but can safely assume that it's "What Nightmares are Made Of!" In all seriousness, congratulations to you and your team on not only completing a crazy-daunting expedition but also on all the excellent post-production work.

This is the most-useful, practical post I’ve read all week.

[Chris Laub @ChrisLaubAI]

This Stanford paper just proved that 90% of prompt engineering advice is wrong.

I spent 6 months testing every "expert" technique. Most of it is folklore.

Here's what actually works (backed by real research):

@ChrisLaubAI This is the most-useful, practical post I’ve read all week. Thank you for compiling! Thinking I should write a prompt to constantly remind me …how to prompt :)

@0x_aster @kuberdenis The rapid release of new tools is awesome but exhausting. 🐿️👀

[Scott Oppliger @oppliger]

@0x_aster @kuberdenis I used Cursor for quite a while - using Antigravity the last 2 weeks. I agree with another poster on X saying that the Cursor UI is trash. Both are built on VS Code, but Google has done a better job with the UI in my opinion. I haven’t tried Opus 4.5 yet.

@alexhillman This, as a way to monitor chain of thought, is so Blade Runner. I love it.

Any way to tell if Princess Bride was streaming for free last week?
