kumquats are the sardines of citrus

31 years of trick or treater data! New high, ran out of candy so not a reliable measure of this year's demand

Not to pile on to "founders, avoid AI outreach" but as an investor it is kind of humorous/annoying to see such obvious tells: "Engine was built for the stretch where tough tech leaves the lab and has to prove it can scale, and you saw that early with Form Energy. That's exactly why {my startup} made me think of you." "Engine Ventures has backed Teradar and RISE Robotics, across scaled hardware and engineered products. That fits {my startup}, a clinician-backed dosing platform." 😐

Interns/coop interested in manufacturing startups in the Boston/NH area, this could be fun!

Bro. I’m telling you right now, you will not regret watching this one. I try not to oversell shit. Fuckin trust me on this ONE video.

Got to admit, not a Tesla fanboi but the control systems to make the roadster fly in the demo are insane? WTH? Kudos to the software. electromechanical and propulsion teams

FREE! First come first serve, just get it out of our building. Was a production workhorse that was under power when we got it but it’s just been sitting in storage and we’ve moved onto better things.

Lots of new followers in the last 24 hours. A refresher. @Dreamstarlines is ushering in the next generation of passenger rail in the USA Passenger Rail is at the highest in several generations - but today most American have limited service options yet still increasingly choosing trains! Today it can take 5 - 15 years and billions of dollars to get a new line up and running. How embarrassing! It doesn't need to be like that. Our first train is an overnight sleeper train between LA <> SF - with eyes toward rapid expansion across the USA. Follow along as we build America's "forgotten transportation layer" into the world standard for how Americans (and our beloved guests) get around.

Who needs a mill for $30k? Need a few of them gone asap. I have even more coming in.

Down a Youtube rabbit hole listening to music, a song I like, but the most embarrassing music video ever? youtu.be/xwtdhWltSIg vs. as a palate cleanser youtu.be/z5rRZdiu1UE

That's a small reminder! 👇 As of June 2026, HTTP has a new method - a GET with a `body` 😎 Meet QUERY (RFC 10008). It lets you send complex queries in the body (like POST) while staying safe, idempotent, and cacheable (like GET). Already works on servers (Node.js, Go, Laravel…). Browsers are still adding full support, usable now with care, with widespread adoption coming later in 2026+.

So fun to play with, thank you!

Ok, then.

Interested to see how the AI backlash (commencement address boos) and data center NIMBY will play out, crazy Lowell, MA town meeting youtu.be/7Ydo_Zvo1xA?si=0Vuj…

If you dislike fundraising, hiring, and selling, you shouldn’t be a startup CEO. Building is only half of the role. The rest is convincing people to quit their jobs, wire money, sign contracts, try your product, and believe in your vision before there’s real proof they should.

Seriously, I did some quick research and found this to be a really solid project. 1. easy to setup and run. 2. works great with @supabase since all it needs is a place to store the PostgreSQL backed state 3. has official skills to do architecture QA and quick demo: `npx skills add dbos-inc/agent-skills` 4. Suports golang, python, typescript 5. Also the following description from Supabase blog caught my eye 😂: `Michael Stonebraker is the inventor of Postgres and a Turing Award winner. His latest venture is DBOS`

We reimplemented Temporal with Postgres..

It’s time for everyone to realize that the fight against data centers has nothing to do with data centers. They have become a proxy for the hate towards AI and the concentration and accumulation of wealth it’s creating. Until those running the big LLMs understand this and start a community tour, not to explain the benefits of AI, it’s too late for that, but to help towns and cities that may be impacted by job losses (and I’m a believer their will be a net gains in a few years), this battle is only going to get more intense and let me tell you now , no matter how much money you pay to buy politicians and races, you will lose. One thing I have learned is being hated is not good for business. How can they help ? They will tell you. You will need to do what they ask. Billions of dollars is a lot of money across towns and city programs. Across the major LLMs, it’s a cost of doing business. At the same time, I would go to LA and NYC and ask the arts and creative unions what kind of programs would help and protect their artists. DO NOT GO TO THE MUSIC OR FILM COMPANIES. that will make it worse. Don’t try to pay famous people to endorse what you are doing. That’s dumb. Talk to artists and ask them what you can do to provide financial and creative support. Every creative I know is TERRIFIED about what AI will do to their profession. You must meet them face to face and basically do what they say. The big LLMs have lost the PR battle. Why ? Because they all suck at putting people first. They have an SV attitude that makes them all think they are John Galt saving the world Given the number of data centers and power that is needed, today and going forward , If you don’t kiss the asses of the people that go to work every day, and are just trying to pay their bills, you will fall far far short of the capacity you need to make your business work.
