If you have a Duo then I would love to see an irl photo (and hear whether the design works) ๐Ÿค— Yesterday 1.4 is now live on the App Store apps.apple.com/app/yesterdayโ€ฆ
Yesterday is going to look nice on the Duo. Seems like a lot of grass to bring the horizon up to the fold in "laptop" mode but I think it'll look pretty effective irl

The coming wave of malleable hardware
What if you could change device behaviour, just by talking to it? Create an app. Change it. Edit it. Add personal context. Then completely reinvent what the device is for. WORKS is our limited release of the first ever Promptable Products - physical devices inhabited by AI agents that understand what you want and do what you mean. WORKS launch in November 2026. This is a demo (using a ESP32 device from @M5Stack) showing one possible experience you can create. Weโ€™re building @inanimate_tech in public. Jump in, it's gonna be weird.

I like this: asking agents to sign your guestbook.txt - a static file to modify if they break in. interconnected.org/home/2026โ€ฆ

Watch a few of these Claudia vids and you can start seeing the craft, itโ€™s not just clattering the keyboard for a few seconds and hitting Go

fast takeoff even how am I going to make it through the singularity with these fat thumbs
what if fast takeout happens when you just step out for your hols, and when you get back after a week all your friends are 1000 IQ and bristling with posthuman nanotech and you can never catch up because youโ€™re always 2 doublings behind

amazing run. half of my work runs on infra that sunil created, the other half is inspired by him
today was my last day in cloudflare (again). the best career and opportunity in my whole life, and the closest friends I would die for. thank you to everyone who made it all so special. I had an incredible time. ๐Ÿงก

This is going to make me re-read We3 and I hadnโ€™t planned on crying about cyborg pet-weapons again
SITUATION DETECTED: Warhound launched from stealth today with a $200M seed at a $1.2B valuation. Ben Lamm and Palmer Luckey are cloning gene-edited bio-enhanced dogs and equipping them with custom Anduril vests, goggles, and sensors for the military and law enforcement.

I've hosted my own blog on my own iron since 2000 except for 6 weeks in 2004 when the hard drive was glitching and I had to go to the datacenter at midnight to pull it from the rack, then sit it on ice cubes to copy data off cos the cold bought me 20 mins extra before crashing
