@mattshumer_ You'll reach unprecedented levels of indoctrination 👏

[Travis Eric @TravisEric_]

@newstart_2024 cool guess probably wrong.

@tibo_maker Stunt. Drives demand, raises value, Amazon profits. Allows them to justify more identity controls. Great product launch. Everything is staged. Fable itself was great at thinking and planning ahead, but anthropics not?

@TheRealAdamG This mean no 5.6? :/

Claude Code creator:

"100% of our pull requests at Anrtopic are run by Claude Code. 80–90% of code review too.

The feature I’m using the most today is /loops. I’m not prompting Claude anymore - I’m building loops"

in 1-hour interview, Boris reveals his setup, which helps him build the #1 coding tool of this year.

Worth more than a $500 vibe-coding course.

@d4m1n Why’s the goal always one-shot? I been 20k+ shotting a Saas app and it still isn’t done…

Here's my 6 hour conversation with @dhh, a legendary programmer, creator of Ruby on Rails, author, and race car driver. This was a fun and inspiring conversation on everything from the future of programming & AI to the nature of happiness & productivity to the value of family, getting married and having kids.

X limits video length to 6 hours. So this full convo doesn't fit (by a few minutes). So, the first 6 hours are here on X. The full version is up everywhere else (see comment).

84% of people have never used AI.

massive opportunity to make insane money helping them.

start with one-time offers (foot in the door):

– $1k: Google/Yelp review responder (drafts replies in their voice, they hit send)
– $500: 30-day content batch (social posts + newsletters, drafted and scheduled)
– $500: job-site photo -> customer-ready PDF

Then move to recurring (after trust is built):

– $300/mo: booking qualifier bot
– $1k/mo: chatbot trained on their FAQs
– $2k/mo: cold outreach system
– $2k/mo: content management
– $2k/mo: prompts and SOPs for sales

Here are the groups actually buying this:

- Trades (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, GCs)
- Medical (dentists, chiropractors, vets, med spas, PTs)
- services (law firms, accountants, insurance)

How to start this week: scrape a few hundred local businesses.

Pick one offer from above. Email 50/day.

Any of these companies will pay $5k+/mo for the right offer.

Two yeses pays your first month and gives you a case study.

From there, every client is a referral away.

@anna_writes0 You see this niche research tool that finds niches before they’re popular? https://t.co/zaCf88aLUq

[Charly Wargnier @DataChaz]

Google’s level of disrespect is OFF THE CHARTS right now.

Anthropic really thought they had us locked down with Claude Design’s ridiculous rate limits…

…and now Google has literally countered it straight away by open-sourcing DESIGN.md 🤯

[Linus @thesephist]

Hard to unsee the future from demos like this

[Travis Eric @TravisEric_]

@cailynyongyong Love it

[Travis Eric @TravisEric_]

@whoisamblake I made a tool you might like to try. 250 pages in 10 minutes. No prompts needed, only a title. Looking for betatesters. https://t.co/fW1yTLw3WZ

[Travis Eric @TravisEric_]

@BabelJawad I think you'd like the book generator I made, you'll be able to test the books faster. Writes 250 page books in 10 minutes. If you want to try im looking for people to help test it before launch, lmk

[Travis Eric @TravisEric_]

@JamesArcherHQ @NickDiFabio1 I do high content 50k-80k word books and test the niches by publishing 5-10 books/keyword cluster. And make more books for the keywords that hit.

[Travis Eric @TravisEric_]

@skirano That is pretty dope. I made a generator for 1 shotting 80k word non-fiction, havent done fiction yet tho. If you want to try it and see how it compares, I'll ship you a credit to use.

[Travis Eric @TravisEric_]

@home_work_biz Been building something in this space — AI book generator that outputs a full (long-form) non-fiction book in about 10 minutes. Pre-launch right now, just looking for honest feedback. DM me if you want to try it free. I can get you on the affiliate program if you like it.

[Travis Eric @TravisEric_]

@MoTealib You mess with high-content books? I made a book generator I'm look for some early testers on. Lmk if you'd like to try it out.

This robotic hand can be 3D printed by anyone and assembled in under 8 hours.

Researchers at ETH Zurich created the Orca hand, fully open-sourced with artificial bones and tendons.

For context, advanced robotic hands cost over $100,000 and require constant maintenance...

Orca costs under $2,000. 50x less (!)

A self-calibration system maps every motor to every joint, eliminating the manual tuning that tendon-driven hands usually need.

Each fingertip has built-in tactile sensors covered by silicone skin.

The hand can actually feel when it touches something, giving it feedback to grip objects without crushing them or letting them slip.

It can hold over 20 lbs, learn tasks by watching human demonstrations, and transfer skills trained in simulation directly to the real world.

The team proved its durability by having it pick up and place a cube over 2,000 times across 7 hours with no human intervention.

The full design files and source code are open source, so any robotics lab in the world can start building one today.
