Who wants to build one of these into a @SAINTCON minibadge?.
Is this the tiniest little voice agent yet?! . My @elevenlabsio voice clone running on an esp32 microcontroller via @pipecat_ai and WebRTC! 🔥. Story time: I recently caught up with Danilo Campos who is building the awesome DeskHog (seriously, check it out!) at @posthog and he

This strategy makes a lot of sense.
Trend we're seeing from some of our power users:. > use gemini 2.5 pro for Plan mode.> use sonnet-4 for Act mode. Why?. With it's 1M token context window, 2.5 pro can freely explore your codebase and pull in external context via MCP without nearing its context limit. Once the

I knew that some big AI news would happen on my vacation, I just didn’t know what. Congrats @xai!.
xAI gave us early access to Grok 4 - and the results are in. Grok 4 is now the leading AI model. We have run our full suite of benchmarks and Grok 4 achieves an Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index of 73, ahead of OpenAI o3 at 70, Google Gemini 2.5 Pro at 70, Anthropic Claude

Let’s talk about the economics of vibe coding providers/platforms. The big news is that @cursor_ai quickly rolled back their $20/month unlimited plan. This suggests the costs to Cursor ended up being higher than they expected when designing the pricing strategy. Things.
We recently updated our pricing, but missed the mark. We're refunding affected customers and clarifying how our pricing works.

I just visited Rome (Italy) for the first time. Here are the things that shocked me the most. Not much air conditioning. •Some restaurants did have air conditioning, but they were underpowered and often pointless because the front door is always open.•My hotel had air

Cursor, one of the most popular vibe coding tools, got a nice upgrade today. The todo list seems to work similar to the planning mode in Windsurf, but I need to test that feature.
Cursor can now make to-do lists, search PRs, and queue messages. We’ve also made Tab much faster.

I wonder how successful Soham was at scamming employers?. Does anyone know the full count of businesses he has worked?. I could see someone interviewing full-time, always accepting jobs and trying to lead employers on. He might only collect a small number of paychecks at each.
PSA: there’s a guy named Soham Parekh (in India) who works at 3-4 startups at the same time. He’s been preying on YC companies and more. Beware. I fired this guy in his first week and told him to stop lying / scamming people. He hasn’t stopped a year later. No more excuses.

AI Chatbots were v1. AI Agents are v2 and have the potential to change society many times faster than v1. We’ve never dealt with this speed of technology change before.
In just a year, we’ve gone from AI being about answering questions and autocompleting text, to AI Agents that can run in the background and do real work. One was a 10-20% productivity gain since it can only work as fast as you do, the other is only limited by compute.

Generating novels isn't free. But with @GoogleAI Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite it almost is!
It's done!. I just submitted #SecondWriter, my project for the @boltdotnew hackathon. Everything is now out of my hands, let's hope it does well in the judging phase!. I've worked ~80 hours this past week on this project and one for a job interview. I'm super proud of what
