Michael Seibel @mwseibel and Dalton Caldwell @daltonc vs Ant Wilson who will win? watch live → piped.video/watch?v=ulV7zhhC…

Exactly 2 years ago, @Starcloud_ finished @YCombinator S24. That day, @DaltonC Caldwell gave a speech which could be summed up as “Just don’t die”. The speech was the most memorable one of the batch for me and one stat in particular stood out, which makes today significant for me: Companies from years before, that didn’t die for 2 years out from YC had a 30% chance of being worth $100m or more today (which sounded like a lot to me then!) I remember thinking: I’m just going to focus on making sure we’re not dead in 2 years. I’ve now seen many companies in our batch die, almost all of which from self inflicted wounds. Each time before the death I remember thinking: Man, you just have to not die for 2 years, hang in there 😣 I’ve added a few obnoxiously obvious yet still profound slides from that day (I hope you don’t mind Dalton!)

Introducing NetworkOcean. Our future is bottlenecked by the speed at which we can deploy power. We’re building floating solar arrays powering data centers at sea. This will soon be the fastest way to deploy new compute, skipping years of land, grid connections, and traditional infrastructure delays. Our 2030 target is 1 GW/week. @network_ocean_

major new launch from momentic

Own your data and own your weights! RL open models on your HUD environments to develop specialized intelligence and beat SOTA.

Introducing Weave Code Boost: You can now combine your Claude & Codex max plans, along with top open source models in one place so you can maximize every coding agent subsidy without ever switching tools.

Introducing Weave Code Max: We have hyper-optimized routing and inference so you can get $50+ in usage for just $10/month. You can use our tuned open-source models in Codex, OpenCode, Pi, or Claude Code. The most coding $10 can buy.

The fastest way to pay workers globally is here. Introducing Instant Pay by @BoltoHQ. Companies can now pay global hires compliantly in real-time. Yes, that means same day and next day payouts, globally. What we shipped: 🌍 Instant payouts in 190+ countries ⚡ 95% real-time settlement 💳 Bank, card, and crypto payments supported The leading HR/payroll solutions today still operate on payment systems that feel like a black-box. You send money and your workers are left wondering where it is and when it will arrive. That's not just a payments problem. It's a trust problem between workers and employers. This launch is another big step towards building the premier, next-gen AI-native HR platform. Work is global, payments are now instant. Bolto is for builders. -- If you have workers overseas and are interested in same day and next day payments with Bolto, drop us a line at info@bolto.com. We'll respond within minutes (just like our payments).

We couldn't get @Steven_Ballmer to launch @simdotai's latest features, so I had to do it myself...

a jev lint rule that detects if a new component is a potential duplicate of an existing file. this check takes less than a second + costs less than $0.01 (for our codebase at least) jev makes it feel actually reasonable to run these checks on every code change.

I’m super excited share that @MIT-trained aerospace engineer and serial entrepreneur Peter Reinhardt @reinpk has committed $1M to the @FermiExplorer mission to send humanity’s first spacecraft to another star! 💫 Find out how you can get involved and contribute at FermiExplorer.org 🤓 And thanks so much for your generosity and time, Peter, welcome aboard!! 🙏😃🚀 Full article: uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/mi…

Standing up a production CDC pipeline used to mean designing source access, replication, backfills, destination writes, schema-change handling, monitoring, and recovery. Now, it can done with a single prompt: “Create a pipeline from the staging Postgres database to Snowflake.” With Artie MCP available in Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, an AI agent can use Artie’s tools to configure and manage that workflow. So engineers can start with what they need, instead of spending months assembling and maintaining the pipeline themselves.

We run large-scale FLUX.2 diffusion workloads on AMD MI300X through the Luminal compiler. Our engineer Reis wrote up how we drive down the cost per image by utilizing cheaper flops.

today, hundreds of thousands of people interact with an archil disk every week without realizing it. because archil is the easiest way to build stateful agents and data platforms. this week, for the first time, we exceeded 1 mount per second for the entire week. at this rate, in four weeks, we will be creating more disks each week than supabase creates databases. each archil disk can run databases, git checkouts, npm, and s3-like storage -- supporting tens of thousands of operations per second. leggo

Introducing Sim Search Agents can now use your credentials to build an agentic knowledge graph to do your high-context work. Full context building and adaptive learning. Live right now in Sim!

Researchers at the labs have a lot of leverage, if they are concerned that their employer does not reflect their personal values they can easily move to another lab that does.

🎙️ Coming to Supabase Select 2026: @daltonc, co-founder of @Standard_Cap and Partner Emeritus at @ycombinator, will join @AntWilson for a fireside chat. Come hang: select.supabase.com

One way to get access to a model that benchmarks better + is cheaper and faster than using GPT-6 Astra directly is to just use Weave Router.
