Opus 5.5 has completely disintermediated Astra for me. I used to never open Claude Code - now I use it daily and almost never open Codex.

I will have a max Codex, Claude Code, GLM, and now a Kimi Code plan...

Due to rate limits, we're planning on getting rid of our Claude Max subscription. Already got our engineers to switch to Codex or Cursor.

A company to watch 👀👀

Wow, we technically only have one spot left for the pilot cohort of the Youth Tech China Trek!! And thanks in part to friends like @GlennLuk helping spread the word, we’ve ended up with a strong group of American kids too (it's seriously difficult to get Americans to join the investor trips, you've heard me rant about this before). Anyway, I expect we’ll open additional weeks soon. Also, one thing we will do very actively (that we should probably promote more as part of this program) is connect participants with Chinese middle and high school students and parents, STEM undergrads, PhDs, and early-career people in China. I’m intensely curious myself: what are the kids actually in the trenches studying, what are they spending their time on, what is the market rewarding, and how is everyone responding to / feeling about the shifting ground beneath all of our feet?!

Existing form software did not meet needs on our end (we have complex questions) - decided to build my own form software. Got it working in 2 hours with Claude code with a full DB setup, auth, nice optimized UI, etc. Makes me question a lot of existing SaaS purchases we make.

I really don’t understand how Deepseek made R1 without doing a single podcast appearance

Used @deepseek_ai to find hot pot base in Oakland Chinatown today. It recommended a Korean grocery store that had it in stock. Tried @ChatGPTapp and @perplexity_ai, and both led me to grocers that did not offer it.

Reminder that Palantir settled a Department of Labor lawsuit stating that it discriminated against Asians in hiring: theguardian.com/technology/2…

Oakland had 30 brutal attacks & robberies at Westlake Christian Terrace Senior Living in a week 85 year old Asian grandmas getting beaten/robbed so bad they're sent to the ER every few hours. And yet it is still not being investigated as a hate crime

This is also why we switched off Stripe. They froze three months of payments from us due to policies that didn't even apply to our situation! Their customer support was also unwilling to help.

My favorite kind of pull request. We can finally afford to rent an office now.

From our preliminary testing, GPT-4o is maybe 5-10% better than Claude Opus, which is huge given the 3x cost difference.

Anyone else thinks this is signal for a GPT-5 announcement in a few weeks? A year ago the gpt-3.5-turbo release preceded gpt-4 by a similar timeline.

My wife's hometown in Brazil has been devastated by the recent floods, which have killed 100 people so far and left >500k without electricity or water. The rains start again in a few days. The Brazil Foundation is accepting donations for immediate help: brazilfoundation.org/en/help…

Huge news -- mind blowing to be able to use prompts to create live-updating personal dashboards. I'm tracking my reading list on this and it's been curating new books for me to read. Going to learn about Chaos Theory next 👻

Congrats to the @langfuse team for this milestone! Proud to have worked with them from day 1!

Super excited for all these new upgrades from @OpenAI, can't wait to evaluate and implement for our clients!
