@jeffreyhuber Congrats to the team on this big milestone!

[Michael Stoppelman @stopman]

Foundational models will come and go. The leverage is in context. Chroma Cloud lets devs use the best model - OpenAI, Anthropic, or local while owning the vector + text + metadata layer. Proud to have backed @jeffreyhuber + team early.

[Chroma @trychroma]

Introducing Chroma Cloud: an open-source serverless search database that is fast, cost-effective, scalable, and reliable.

@ikadotxyz It's finally here.

[Ika「🦑」 @ikadotxyz]

🦑 All your chains are belong to Sui: Ika Mainnet is officially LIVE.

We're here to unveil the dWallet primitive and let Sui smart contracts natively control every chain - empowering you to coordinate native assets, tentacle by tentacle.

Ready to get weird?

Announcing Our $3.8M Seed Round to Make Voice AI Agents Reliable 🎙

If 2024 was the year of demos, 2025 is the year of reliable voice agents.

We’re excited to share that @HammingAI has raised $3.8M in seed funding led by @MischiefVC, with participation from @ycombinator, @aigrant, @pioneer_fund, @CoughdropCap, @coalitionvc, @orangecollectv, @twentytwovc, @transposevc, @OliveTreeCap and an incredible group of angels.

Read more about us here:
1) Blog: https://t.co/lROYWt8jfk
2) Coverage by Kerry Flynn from Axios: https://t.co/z9RaSltM1l

Humans make billions of calls every day. AI voice agents will perform a majority of these calls. Ensuring their reliability is tough — small changes can break responses, and manual testing doesn’t scale. Even when you ship your voice agents to production, teams spend hours manually listening to calls to find bugs and edge cases.

At @HammingAI, we automate testing, monitoring, and governance for Voice AI agents, helping teams catch failures, optimize prompts, and flag edge cases in production. Hamming makes your Voice AI agents trustworthy.

Thanks to our team, customers, and investors for believing in this mission.

.@paradedb is announcing a new Postgres analytics extension called 𝐩𝐠_𝐥𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞. It is designed for fast analytics from Postgres over cloud object storage file formats (Parquet) and table formats (Iceberg). You can query tables stored in S3, Google, Azure from Postgres

[Philippe Noël @philippemnoel]

1/18 I'm incredibly excited to announce @duckdb in @PostgreSQL in the latest version of @paradedb. When we set to bring fast analytics to Postgres earlier this year, we did not expect the journey to take us here. Here's what happened 🧵

[Warp @warpdotdev]

Type plain English on the command line. Accomplish any dev task. This is the command line for the AI era.

New Agent Mode is available today.

When I met @aboodman on the Google bus in 2007, he had this crazy idea to put a database in the browser, now it’s happening, listen to this podcast to hear more.

[Aaron Boodman @aboodman]

In 2007 I joined a team at Google with the crazy idea to put a database in the browser. That database: SQLite.

The Gears project was killed, as was the next attempt to put SQLite in the browser, and the two after that.

Nearly two decades later, the dream is finally materializing. We’re on the cusp of a revolution in web app development.

Local-first products like @replicache and @hello_reflect will dramatically change the way we build the web, massively improving both its ux and dx.

Listen to the entire tale of how we finally got local-storage in browsers in this interview with @schickling.

Thank you Johannes for the invite, this was super fun!

[Joe Lonsdale @JTLonsdale]

We spend billions on the environment yet can't clean up our oceans.

@BoyanSlat & @TheOceanCleanup are singlehandedly solving this problem w/ an innovation mindset.

I'll take a few tenacious builders over an army of bureaucrats & lawyers any day.

BDS claims that Anti-Zionism has nothing to do with Antisemitism.

Vandalizing the Shorenstein Aleichem Cultural Center in the Bronx with the words ‘Free Palestine’ is not only Anti-Zionist. It’s antisemitic.

Celebrating the mass murder of Jews (“resistance); calling for the mass murder of Jews (“globalize the intifada”); committing mass murder against Jews (October 7)…

All of these are not only Anti-Zionist. They’re Antisemitic.

🚀🌟 Woo..hoo.. SigNoz Reaches 15,000 Stars on GitHub! 🌟🚀

When we started 💻 writing the first line of code of what would become SigNoz, we were not sure if this is something which the world needed.

It was just something which we thought should exist..

I went to Washington Square Park today. Because I have the luxury of not being “obviously Jewish,” I stood and watched the protest in front me.

“From the river to the sea.”

“Get rid of f*cking all of them.”

I stood in a wasteland of people who wanted me dead.

Now. In 2023.

[Jeff Dean @JeffDean]

I joined many others in signing this.

"The vulnerability of children in captivity is immense and unfathomable, even under the assumption that Hamas is providing them with elementary necessities. It is our duty to rally to help the innocent.
...
FREE ALL CHILDREN HOSTAGES NOW"

[Senator Scott Wiener @Scott_Wiener]

Protesting & criticizing Israel is one thing. We have a proud history of protest, which I fully support.

Calling for the destruction of Israel, engaging in support for Hamas & its pogrom, & harassing Jews & Jewish businesses is quite another.

This line is being crossed🧵

@jessegenet Maybe take a peek at @KaiPodCo you could start your own microschool, leveraging the best of online k-12 + in person, startup founded by @AmarKumarEdu former Pearson CPO

@Alexoppenheimer stay safe.

@braveben silence.

This was confusing to me too. In the wsj article they didn't identify the leadership by name, just title, I wonder how they got that interview

[Robert Sterling @RobertMSterling]

Mossad: We don’t know what’s happening

CIA: We don’t know if Iran was behind the attacks in Israel

WSJ: We spoke with our spy in Hezbollah leadership, four Quds generals, and the Grand Ayatollah’s personal kebab chef, and they all proudly confirmed that Iran masterminded this
