It's been running @aiweekendsxyz Hyderabad. There's quite a bit of struggle BTS but overall I like what we are doing here. Stay tuned for what's coming next :)) Thanks for the shoutout my boi @0xratnakar
meet @dasritav who is been leading @aiweekendsxyz in hyderabad a month ago we could barely get people to register in hyderabad. today we went house full. what most people don't see is the amount of work that goes behind making a community work. finding venues. coordinating people. convincing builders to show up. handling last minute chaos. following up with everyone. doing it again next week. all voluntarily btw. ritav moved to hyderabad a few months ago and just wanted to make friends and meet builders. instead of waiting for a community, bro decided to build one via @aiweekendsxyz he kept showing up when numbers were low. kept believing when it would've been easy to say "hyderabad isn't interested." turns out builders were always there. someone just needed to bring them together. massive respect to ritav, everyone helping run ai & weekends, and every builder who keeps showing up.

Launching Junction: come speed-run the semiconductor tech tree this December in Bangalore. We’re flying in students from all over India 🇮🇳 to a 2-week fabrication retreat at @_lagrangepoint to build equipment, design chips and engineer processes, with our friends at @hackerfabindia. India still needs thousands of semicon engineers -- the ecosystem to produce them isn’t mature enough yet -- we're changing that. Current applicants have built vacuum chambers to study plasma physics, RISC-V processors from scratch, scanning tunneling microscopes, et cetera At junction you will: 1. Propose a project 2. Figure out a plan with the Junction team. 3. Iterate fast towards a working prototype, with help from the Junction team 4. Be mentored by top semiconductor hackers and specialists. 5. Demo to industry leaders, founders, investors, and your fellow craftspeople Flights, accommodation and project expenses? All covered. Apply on the link below

Today, we're shipping real-time graphics. Using Sol 6.1 Ultrafast we can generate custom overlays, diagrams, and even interactive 3D scenes right on a user's screen, no chat. It's a new visual interface for AI. Here's me learning about LLMs + hardware. Demo:

this might be my last normal tweet before biotech goes vertical i'm not a whistleblower. I don't work at Lilly, Novo or any of the big labs but there is a massive shift happening in human biology right now. it's sitting in press releases and almost nobody reads them the last 6 months alone: - a once-daily pill roughly doubled median survival in metastatic pancreatic cancer (13.2 vs 6.6 months) - a one-time gene editing infusion cut hereditary angioedema attacks 87%, and 62% of patients stayed attack-free and off all other prevention for 6 months - a one-time gene edit for cholesterol dropped LDL up to 62%, and it held for over a year - a personalized mrna vaccine beat keytruda alone in a 1,137 patient melanoma phase 3 - retatrutide hit ~28% weight loss in a phase 3 - an ai-designed drug entered phase 3 - a pill that regrows hair passed its second phase 3 - an immunotherapy that could let some rectal cancer patients skip surgery, chemo and radiation just got fda approved - a man lived 271 days off dialysis on a pig kidney - human cells were caught passing chromosome-sized chunks of DNA to their neighbors, and it changes how the neighbors behave we are on the verge of an era where the human body is a software problem and the update cycle gets shorter everyday stick around, it's going to get weird bio/acc

Before you launch anything, have Opus 5.5 send 5 subagents in as your first users. Paste this into Claude Code: "Act as my launch QA lead. Spin up 5 subagents, each a different first-time user: 1. The impatient one: skims, clicks the first button, quits at the first error 2. The skeptic: reads pricing, terms and privacy before signing up 3. The mobile user: does everything on a 375px screen on slow 3G 4. The non-native English speaker: only follows what the UI literally says 5. The breaker: pastes junk into forms, hits back mid-flow, double-clicks everything Each one opens the app in a real browser, goes from landing page to first success, and screenshots every moment they get confused, stuck or annoyed. Merge everything into one list ranked by how many users hit it. Fix it all in one pass, then rerun the 5 users to prove it's fixed." Your first 100 real users won't tell you why they left. these 5 will. (Works best with a browser MCP connected, Playwright or Chrome DevTools)

How is the internet less private than in 2006, when the whole family shared one computer? Back then, the internet was weird, personal, and all of ours. So, we got your favorite meme legends back together to say it louder: What happened to the internet? 1/3

crazy scenes here
NEARLY 1 OUT OF 3 (60,000 EMPLOYEES) AT MICROSOFT BEING OFFERED VOLUNTARY TERMINATION Emails should be going out any minute to those receiving the offer. Absolutely insane.

anthropic now says: fold most subagents back into one agent with skills. a lot of agent splits are org charts, not architecture. every handoff is a place context gets lost. but don't take their word for it. run the same task both ways, eval quality, tokens and latency. let the numbers pick.

Elon Musk found us here. We’re indigenous to this land.
If people dislike Elon Musk so much, why do they still use the platform he owns?

12:51 am. craving a ₹150 shawarma from a place 1 km away. on swiggy that's ~₹220. so my usual hack: call the shop, order on the phone, book a rapido bike to go pick it up. three steps for one roll. last night i tried ownly by rapido instead. ₹157.50. delivery waived. one app. my hack is retired.
