@finkd Hello Mark, you do not need to put the links in replies anymore. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[Vasu Paidi @vasupaidi]

@dvassallo seeing you in my feed after long loooong time.

[Vasu Paidi @vasupaidi]

Genuine question, not a scoop: my Fable 5 weekly limit reads "resets Jul 19" in Claude. Access is meant to end July 12 PT. Am I seeing an extension - or is this just the 7-day rolling reset + me being in IST zone? Anyone else seeing Jul 19?

[Vasu Paidi @vasupaidi]

WOW. Zuck's first real X post in years is an AI model launch.

Model releases, evals, benchmarks, debates, demos, bugs, hype, criticism, hiring, distribution - it all moves through X first.

For AI, X is the public square!

(1) Today we're releasing Muse Spark 1.1 -- a strong agentic and coding model at a very low price. It's available through our new Meta Model API and in Meta AI.

The accounts X pays the most are the ones dragging the timeline down. Wild incentive structure, I can confirm timeline feels less spammy these days.

[Nikita Bier @nikitabier]

In a 3% experiment, removing the Top-30 highest paid revenue share accounts from the For You timeline increased both time spent and daily active users on X.

They're following demand and removing friction. 👏 ( Lovable AI, V0 & others )

They're extending the platform in the direction users are already pulling them.

The bigger question:

Can this playbook work across every software vertical?

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

Building apps has never been easier.

With Sites, Codex can turn your work, ideas, and plans into an interactive website or app your team can explore, use, and share with a URL.

Rolling out to Business and Enterprise plans, before expanding more broadly.

[Vasu Paidi @vasupaidi]

Interesting ruling, but is it arriving a bit late?

We’re already moving into a world of AI-driven search and recommendation systems. Hopefully the same principles will extend to these chat engines when they launch ads.

In a landmark judgment on May 22, 2026, the Delhi High Court held Google liable for trademark infringement.

The case was between Hindware and Google. The court held that, by allowing competitors of Hindware to purchase the keyword “Hindware” (a trademarked name) through Google Ads, Google enabled trademark infringement. The court said that “Hindware” is not a generic English word but a specific brand trademark. By allowing competitors to place ads on that keyword, Google is enabling competitors to divert traffic that should have legitimately gone to Hindware.

This has been a big challenge for companies, both big and small. Even today, if you search for Zerodha, you will see search results from competitors. This has been happening for well over a decade.

Although it is hard to quantify, we have lost a lot of business to this. Think about what happens. Whenever someone searches for "Zerodha", the traffic should rightfully come to Zerodha. But what often happens is that the first couple of results on Google Search are ads, leading the customer to a competitor's website. In the process, we lose business that should have come to us.

This is made worse by the fact that we do not advertise.

There is also an even more ironic thing here. A lot of brands, just to capture the traffic that should have come to them organically, end up bidding on their own keywords. Think about it. If you own a business and have a trademarked name for your business, you still have to pay Google just to hopefully make your name too expensive for your competition to run ads on it.

But now, thanks to the Delhi High Court judgment, we have the option of taking legal action whenever we come across instances of other companies squatting on our keyword.

The other brilliant part about this judgment is that it levels the playing field. And this matters even more for startups, who are already starved for resources and have the odds stacked against them. The last thing they need is for competitors to bid on their brand keywords and steal their traffic.

This judgment now opens up a route for legal recourse whenever such deceptive practices occur.

While keyword squatting is most visible in Google web results, it is an even bigger problem when it comes to app stores. Whenever someone searches for your brand, the first couple of results, both above and below your app listing, often tend to be those of your competitors. And in the case of app stores, I think the ads are even more problematic. When a user clicks on an app-store ad, they often end up installing an app. That is a much higher-commitment action than clicking on a competitor’s web search result and then just closing the page. Because the user has installed an application, the conversions, at least anecdotally, tend to be much higher.

Again, brands that do not advertise are at the receiving end of this. So I welcome this ruling and hope this changes the unfair norms we've been living by for so long.

@iannuttall Claude code (i work with a detailed https://t.co/xKWXxYajOB for each feature implementation), whenever there is a challenge - I ask it to write a debug investigation prompt and use it in codex to get ideas on how to resolve the problem. Works well!

Explain VPS (virtual private server ) like I am 10 edition.

[@levelsio @levelsio]

Think of a VPS like your laptop

But it's in a building run by Amazon or Hetzner or Digital Ocean

And they keep it on 24/7

And it doesn't have a screen or keyboard, but you can login to it from your own laptop and the screen image gets sent from there via the internet to your laptop

And when you type on your laptop your key strokes get sent to it

So you can control this computer (in the cloud)

Then you can ask it to host your server (with Nginx or Caddy software), and it responds to web requests

You can also make it do stuff on a scheduled basis (called Cron jobs) and they run hourly, daily, weekly, monthly etc. Like a little script you make that does some stuff with AI (like call OpenAI's API!)

So essentially an always-on computer in the cloud

Everything you see on the internet actually runs on that, and they're called servers! Even the easy to deploy PaaS stuff you use, in the back is just that, a computer in a warehouse somewhere!

They've just abstracted this away so you don't see it, but you can (and should!) try renting one just to learn how it works

It's easier than you think and with Claude Code or Cursor CLI running on there it can help you do many of the things that used to be hard

A VPS is just $5/mo on @hetzner and @digitalocean

AGI feels truly near only when AI agents can live in the terminal and fully grasp entire git repos. Any early reviews of Gemini CLI?
