Helmor has been out as an open-source coding agent... orchestrator for less than a week, and we’re already close to 1,000 GitHub stars!!! As a little gift, we shipped a new feature you’re going to love. 👇 Stop copy-pasting GitHub links, Linear tickets, Slack threads, and random notes into prompts. We're tired of rebuilding context every time I ask an agent to do work. Contexts in Helmor is another step toward a local dev loop: browse, preview, inject context, and dispatch tasks without leaving the app. Before you start a task, Helmor should help you gather the right context first.

A 17-year-old student spent $4,200 on 7 Mac minis.... Small silver boxes. Stacked on a desk. Connected in one room. From the outside, it looked like a stupid purchase. But inside, it wasn't just 7 computers. It was Skills. Hooks. Memory. Worktrees. One machine handled repeatable tasks. One ran checks automatically. One kept context between sessions. Others ran parallel jobs without touching each other's work. While most people were still typing the same instructions again and again, his setup was already moving. A lot of people pay $200 a month for Claude and still use maybe 20% of it. He built a system around it. Skills turned repeated work into reusable workflows. Hooks made actions fire automatically. Memory stopped every session from starting at zero. Worktrees let multiple tasks run at the same time without collisions. That changed everything. Setup time: under 1 hour once. Time returned: 3 to 5 hours every day. He spent $4,200 once. He made $16,000 in the first week. Not because he found a secret tool. Not because he wrote magical prompts. Because he stopped using it like a chatbot and started using it like infrastructure. 7 Mac minis. 1 student. $4,200 in. $16,000 out. And most people would still call it just a stack of computers.show more

BOOM! Humanoid Robots Just Performed Surgery for the First... Time! REAL VIDEO! In a groundbreaking preclinical breakthrough, researchers at UC San Diego have achieved what many thought was years away: teleoperated humanoid robots successfully completing live surgeries. Published in Nature, the study marks the world’s first use of humanoid robots for in-vivo laparoscopic procedures on large animals (pigs). Two separate surgeries were completed: Key Details •. Procedure: Laparoscopic gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) •. Team 1: Human surgeon + one humanoid robot (the robot performed core tasks while the human assisted) •. Team 2: Two humanoid robots working together with no human at the operating table •. Robots: Custom “Surgie” humanoids (~5 ft tall, ~60 lbs) using standard surgical tools •. Control: Fully teleoperated by surgeons (remote human control, not autonomous) •. Significance: First demonstration of humanoid robots handling real surgical workflows in a live setting, proving compatibility with existing OR tools and spaces This proof shows humanoid robots could one day help address surgeon shortages, enable remote procedures in rural areas, battlefields, or even space all at a fraction of the cost and space of traditional surgical robots like da Vinci. Read the full publication here: Project page with video: The future of surgery just got a whole lot more interesting. And medical cost for the first time in decades will be scheduled to go down, much further down.show more

We all remember. We all remember when blockchain was... pitched as the next big thing. And today, we feel like we’ve been waiting and waiting. Until recently, Blockchain was too expensive, slow under load, and hard to integrate for most businesses. So enterprises ignored it. It didn’t solve their business problems. That’s changed. Why blockchain, why now? Businesses don’t care about the tech, they care about cost and performance. They’d ask a simple question “Does it save or make me more money?” For a long time, blockchain didn’t clearly do this. That’s no longer true. Blockchain is proving real business cases, especially on Avalanche. On Avalanche, transactions cost fractions of a cent. settle in about a second. And instead of forcing everything onto one shared chain, businesses can launch their own Avalanche L1s with their own rules. To understand this let’s identify the problem and then provide the solution in a way that's easy to understand. Where Businesses Lose Money Most large industries lose money due to operational inefficiencies. Data lives in different systems. Teams spend hours reconciling records that should already match. Intermediaries sit in the middle, taking fees to coordinate all of it. Individually, each step looks small. Together, they create real cost: > Labor spent on manual processes > Capital locked up during settlement delays > Fees paid to intermediaries > Risk introduced by time gaps and mismatched data This is where businesses actually lose money. Not in big, obvious ways. In constant, compounding friction. Take Private Credit, for Example Private credit is loans held outside of traditional banks. It’s a multi-trillion dollar market, and much of it still runs on spreadsheets and weekly reconciliation processes. Loan data is tracked across systems. Teams manually process requests. Funds move on traditional rails, often on delayed cycles. It doesn’t have to be this way Entire teams exist just to keep systems in sync. Now move that system onto Avalanche. Loan data updates in real time. Transactions settle in about a second. Every participant sees the same state instantly. Reconciliation isn’t a separate step because the system itself is the source of truth. The impact is straightforward. > Reduced manual work > Shortened settlement cycles > Fewer layers of coordination between parties Avalanche is Infrastructure for Real Businesses Avalanche is designed to match how businesses actually operate. Instead of sharing a single chain, they can launch their own Avalanche L1s with custom rules, built-in compliance, and predictable performance. They control the system. Avalanche’s Moment For the longest time, blockchain naysayers said this could all be done better with spreadsheets or existing systems. They were right. That’s what the technology allowed. Now it’s changed. Avalanche can replace many of those systems with real-time settlement, shared data, and automated execution. For the first time, the economics work. Built for business. 🔺show more

When somebody tells you “no” it’s only the start... of the story. Last year, I took our kids golf bags to a local embroidery shop and asked them if they could embroidery on the bags. It was the quickest “no” I have ever heard. So, I kept digging and went down a rabbit hole. I knew it was possible. Eventually, I visited a manufacturer in the Twin Cities who had the embroidery machine I was looking at. We verified it could work. So, I made the largest investment in the business to date. I bought our own machine and learned how to run it. It’s been 75 days since we started offering personalized kids golf bags. In that time, we have embroidered 400 toddler golf bags 🤯 Just a simple reminder to keep on digging even when somebody tells you “no.”show more

🚨 NEW YEAR’S BALL DROP LEAVES VIEWERS CONFUSED -... AND SOMETHING FEELS VERY WRONG People aren’t just saying they missed it. They’re saying it didn’t behave like a real moment in time. The countdown didn’t sync with real clocks. Some swear the year flashed incorrectly. Others say the ball never visibly dropped - just an abrupt cut to confetti and noise, like the moment was skipped. No clean, uninterrupted footage spreading. No definitive replay everyone can point to. Just fragments… edits… and a collective feeling that the biggest moment of the year didn’t fully exist. This wasn’t some random livestream. This was the most rehearsed broadcast on Earth. So why does it feel like something glitched, got scrubbed, or quietly disappeared? What exactly did we all just watch?show more
