Thanks @dasha_shunina for the shoutout!
Meet the most promising companies from the latest @ycombinator batch 👀 One big takeaway: AI agents need more than intelligence. They need memory, identity, observability, compliance, insurance and power. My latest @Forbes deep dive 👇 forbes.com/sites/dariashunin…

Radio Frequency test equipment, finally built like it's 2026. Zero driver installs, PoE and USB-C, automatic device discovery and networking, and a SKILL.md to write your test software. Smash your test development schedule and ship to production faster with @NineFivesRF. ycombinator.com/launches/QQk…

Madrone (@madronelabs) builds cooling systems for data centers. In Texas, where most new sites are, Madrone can cool using 30% less power and water, thanks to novel dew-point cooling technology. Congrats on the launch, @akshaytree & @ErikMeike! ycombinator.com/launches/QL1…

It's gross seeing so many root against Tesla. Be the person on the side of the climate and innovation, not the person hoping to make money on puts. Also, betting against Elon is historically a mistake...and the best product usually wins.

When we look at Auschwitz we see the end of the process. It's important to remember that the Holocaust actually did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed from words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanisation & escalating violence.

Everyone loves SpaceX, and thinks of Elon as the genius founder that invents new types of rockets that are cheaper, faster, more efficient. It's fun to think of it as SpaceX versus NASA, or Silicon Valley vs Aerospace. But let's talk about D&I, and logs. Logs as in timber. 🌲

If you are successful, it’s almost always because some people went out of their way to help you. You have a moral obligation to pay it forward.

115,000 people put down a deposit to buy a car they'd not only never driven, but never seen. And that is more than a year away.
