lil bit of easter fun

built an ai powered ML sandbox that allows the user to:

upload a CSV → the llm picks the right algorithm → trains the model → lets you predict on new data → generates a PDF report

stack:
- @aisdk ToolLoopAgent for multi-step orchestration
- @vercel AI Gateway routing to Claude Sonnet 4
- vercel sandbox running python 3.13 and persistence across requests
- blob storage for CSVs and PDF report (probs overkill)

[Hugo @hugorcd]

Back from FLOW (our company offsite) and honestly still a bit emotional about it.

This was one of the best weeks of my life. Got to spend time with the entire @vercel team in Phoenix and every conversation reminded me why I love what we're building.

People say a lot about Vercel, but what you can't take away is this: every single person there is ridiculously talented but more than that, they're kind, thoughtful, interesting. It's not just coworkers, it genuinely feels like family. You can't talk to someone without walking away inspired.

And everyone's aligned on the same thing: pushing the web to places we can barely imagine right now.

Feeling incredibly grateful and more energized than ever. So much to build, so ready to ship ▲

tweets like these keep me here

Of course that's your contention. You're a first-time SaaS bear. You just got finished listening to some podcast, Dario on Dwarkesh, probably. Now you think it’s the end of white collar work and seat-based pricing is screwed. You're gonna be convinced of that til tomorrow when you get to “Something Big is Happening”. Then you’ll install ClawdBot on a Mac Mini, vibe code a dashboard on top of a postgres database and say we’re all just a couple ralph loops away from building a Salesforce competitor. That’s gonna last until next week when you discover context graphs, and then you're gonna be talking about how the systems of record will be disintermediated by an agentic layer and reposting OAI marketing graphics.

“Well, as a matter of fact, I won't, because ultimately the application layer is just ….”

The application layer is just business logic on top a CRUD database. You got that from Satya’s appearance on the BG2 pod, December 2024, right? Yeah, I saw that too. Were you gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us? Do you have any thoughts of your own on this matter? Or...is that your thing? You get into the replies of anyone posting a SaaS ticker. You watch some podcast and then pawn it off as your own idea just to impress some VCs and embarrass some anon who’s long SaaS? See the sad thing about a guy like you is in a couple years you're gonna start doing some thinking on your own and you're gonna come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life. One: don't do that. And two: you dropped thirty grand on Mac Minis and LLM API calls to come to the same conclusion you could’ve got for free by following a handful of VC accounts.

From 0 to shipped. With v0, anyone can build.

the highest leverage thing you can do is post online

a $50 million dollar acquisition in 2000 would've only been 6.3% of Blockbusters revenue from just late fees

[farhan ali @rithmio]

actually such a historic moment.

Netflix, a company that tried to sell itself to Blockbuster in 2000 for $50 million but rejected.

now announcing an acq of Warner Bros, a studio that spans 4 generations. mind blowing

[Netflix @netflix]

Today, Netflix announced our acquisition of Warner Bros. Together, we’ll define the next century of storytelling, creating an extraordinary entertainment offering for audiences everywhere. https://t.co/rXPFMNIs1A
