I asked Perplexity Computer one question: “If Nvidia’s AI data center revenue doubles again, map exactly where every incremental dollar flows across the semiconductor supply chain with a chart” It generated this full supply chain chart and video in minutes. It shows exactly who benefits - memory, foundry, packaging, and more. This level of research used to take hours. Now it takes minutes.

how to use firecrawl to give your AI eyes and actually build startups that outperform 99% of apps: 1. your AI is smart but blind. it can't go to a website, read a page, or grab data on its own. firecrawl fixes that. you put in a URL. you get back clean markdown, structured JSON, screenshots. feed it to any model. 2. three lines of code. that's it. no proxies. no anti-bot detection. no custom scrapers that break when a site changes. one API call. clean data back in seconds. works on 98%+ of sites. 3. firecrawl has six core capabilities: scrape a single page. crawl an entire site. map all URLs on a domain. search google and return full content. an agent endpoint where you describe what you want and it goes and finds it. and a browser sandbox where AI controls a real browser like filling forms, clicking buttons, handles logins. 4. the agent endpoint is wild. you can say "find all of YC's winter 24 dev tool companies and their founders and emails" and get back structured data. or "compare pricing tiers across stripe, square, and paypal" and get a side-by-side table. 5. the browser sandbox lets your AI stay logged in across sessions, navigate pagination, watch live as it browses. this is computer use without building the infrastructure yourself. 6. think of it in layers. every builder needs: an agent harness (claude code, cursor, codex), a search layer (perplexity, exa), a web data layer (firecrawl), an ops brain (obsidian, notion), and an outbound stack. the web data layer is the one most people are sleeping on. 7. this is the AWS moment for web data. in 2006 building a web app meant buying servers and managing racks. AWS said one API call, use our servers. some of the biggest companies of the last decade were built on that. firecrawl is doing the same thing for web data in 2026. 8. the framework i'd use for coming up with startup ideas building with clean data: take a massive horizontal platform. rebuild it for one niche using firecrawl. the vertical version always wins because people want specific, not generic. price for outcome. 9. a year ago firecrawl posted a job listing that said "please only apply if you're an AI agent." content creator agents. customer support agents. junior dev agents. it looked weird. it was a signal for where this is all going. the people who understand how to get clean web data, wrap it around an LLM, and package it as a product are the the ones with a 12-month head start. i use Firecrawl with Idea Browser . once you see what's possible with structured web data, you can't unsee it. episode is live on The Startup Ideas Podcast (SIP) 🧃 (full breakdown there) i tried to explain this as clear as possible for even the non technical. send it to a builder friend. watch

Just tried Fellou's Deep Search feature and we’re genuinely impressed. We asked it to analyze competitor pricing across multiple sources and got back a comprehensive visual report in minutes. The fact that this level of research automation is free to start with is pretty remarkable. So many more Fellou features to explore!➡️ #Fellou #FellouAI

Marc Andreessen: Most successful companies started “product first” “There are products that become companies, and then there are companies that come up with a product. One of the interesting things over the years is that many of the most successful technology franchises were products first, way before they ever became companies.” In this talk, Marc gives a few examples: • His team at the University of Illinois worked on the research project that became Netscape for three years before it became a company • Bill Gates and Paul Allen were deep into PCs before there was a software business • Jobs and Wozniak built the first Apple computer as hobbyists • Mark Zuckerberg was running Facebook out of his dorm room before he ever thought of starting a company • Twitter was a side project at the failed podcasting app Odeo Marc believes that this “product becomes a company” template is successful because “it’s a demonstration that the product has to exist. The market needs the product so badly that somebody actually built it and deployed it and you can actually see evidence that people want it before there was an economic motivation to do so.” He contrasts this with the failure cases he often sees when entrepreneurs try to figure out the idea after starting a company. “It’s very easy in that process to fool yourself into believing that there’s a market because you want to find something and you have a very strong motivation to come up with an answer. It’s hard to go through that process for three months and then say, ‘you know what, we can’t come up with any good ideas.’” There are of course there exceptions. Marc gives Hewlett Packard as an example. But that’s more the exception than the rule. As Marc explains: “The moral of the story is it has to be a really good idea. That often will be an idea that is preexisting at the time you decide to start a company. And if it isn’t, be really careful because you’re walking on sharp rocks at that point with a high risk of falling off the cliff into the ocean.” Video source: Stanford eCorner (2010)

Scott on why conviction in an idea is dangerous as an investor but required as a founder: "From the investor seat, I don't think you want to be in love with an idea. That's a risky thing because you'll find a way to express that by investing and make some compromises on the team because you know this idea is just so good, its time has come. But if the team isn't there, 90% of the time it doesn't work. Then there's a whole thing can you swap out the team? But the whole Founders Fund thesis was always no, you need the founder to run the company. But on the company side, you have to be in love with the idea. It's not that rational to start a company. There's a lot easier, more comfortable ways to make money if that's the goal. So it's got to be about what the company is doing specifically. If you want to actually start a company, it better be something that you're really passionate about, or you think that the problem is really important."

IFPI has released an interview with its Deputy Director of Global Markets, Tom Bendall, explaining how their data is collected as of March 20, 2026, this confirms that JENNIE’s Ruby sales were not included in this year’s report due to the label not submitting the data. “(…) So if I give an example, if the reporting companies submitted revenues of 70 million, and they contributed 70% of consumption in a market for a reporting format, then we'd extrapolate up to get a total market size of 100 million. What this means is that ultimately we have accurate and consistent reporting across every single market globally.” In example: they collect data from companies/labels that actually submit it, then they use that submitted data to estimate the full market Key point: if something isn’t submitted at all, it can’t be counted in the first place. it took them long but they’ve finally addressed the matter.

One distinct memory I have from playing games in the 80s was that every once in a while I would stumble across a game that looked epic but I had exactly zero clue what to do. Wizball was such a game. Looked and sounded pretty cool, but... "where to go, what to do, and what's the goal here?" - something along those lines went through my mind at the time. I stuck with it an eventually (much later) figured it out. Do you remember a game that you played but didn't really know what the goal was or how to get there?

I just verified this with Grok and it’s actually true In America when something is labeled something like “Made with 100% beef” it’s not actually 100% “I work advertisement and a long time ago, I was working on a project with McDonald's, and I learned something that now I can never unsee. It says right there, made with 100% beef, which is such a funny twist of words because it's made with 100% beef, not made of 100% beef. With the McDonald's thing, it was like their chicken nuggets are made with 100% chicken. You know, there's a lot of other stuff in there, and some of it might not be 100% chicken, but it's made with 100%, still tastes good.” When a product is labeled “made with 100% beef,” (or anything) it does not mean the product is 100% beef. Instead, it indicates that the beef portion of the product is 100% beef, but the product as a whole may contain other ingredients Insane.

After Ancient Apocalypse aired, the critical response from mainstream media and academic archaeology was swift and coordinated. Randall went through ten to twelve independent criticisms of the show - from journalists, from archaeologists, from sources presenting themselves as separate and unaffiliated - and found nothing of substance in any of them. What he found instead was something that struck him as far more significant than the criticism itself. The same phraseology. The same arguments. The same framing, repeated across supposedly independent sources with a consistency that pointed not to genuine independent analysis but to a shared origin. Randall is direct about what that pattern implies. Someone assembled that script and distributed it. The coordination required to produce identical talking points across multiple mainstream outlets and academic voices does not happen organically - it requires organization, intent, and a decision made somewhere by someone with both the motivation and the reach to make it happen. Randall names Graham Hancock as a friend and makes clear this is personal as well as principled. The erasure and rewriting of history he has been documenting throughout his research is not an abstract institutional tendency. It has an author - and Randall states plainly that in the interest of disclosure, he would very much like to know who that is.

This is from today's #WCWS game. This was ruled a base hit when it happened (you can see the 'H' pop up), but was changed to a missed catch error by the first baseman at the bottom of the fourth. This is an impossible catch for the first baseman with a ball thrown from that angle, that hard. This throw has to be to the glove, and while it's not a wild throw, it's low enough that the first baseman cannot get her glove around it in time. This is where replay gets you in trouble. The slo-mo replay makes it look like it's a catchable ball, but it isn't. In real time, at live speed, this isn't an error. This isn't a missed catch or a drop. I was loving the call of a single, especially because it was the first hit, and then, when it was changed, it felt like it was to protect a no-hitter. Everything about this screams "above ordinary effort" ... I would have left this as a single.

It’s hard to believe that 3 years ago, none of this was possible. Now, it’s pretty much going to change everything. Last month, Fish Audio reached out to me to try their voice AI software. They just launched their new S1 model today, and I was curious about the state of AI and voice (and everything else), so I gave it a spin. I liked it enough that when I was asked about a partnership, I said yes. I’m free to talk about what I like and don’t like about the software, and I’m going to share with you a few voices I cloned as well as some of the workflow. It was much easier than I thought. To give you an example, here is a private (research only) voice I cloned as a test. I grabbed a clip of Rutger Hauer’s famous speech from Blade Runner and uploaded it to the voice cloner on the Fish Audio Website as a private voice (no one else can use it, as it is for research only). I didn’t think it would work. The audio sample is very short. But Fish Audio was able to clone the voice extremely well and very fast. I didn’t have to upload any more than that to produce these results. I used Grok to write the new dialog, and I added the rain and background effects and the result is pretty impressive. It only took just a few minutes once I had the audio uploaded for everything from cloning to generating multiple takes. I’ll give some tips and pointers on how to get the best results at the conclusion of this thread and show you some surprising things it can do. (con’t) #Promotion

Designed this site in Fable 5 with just a few prompts. And no, this is not a lame post where I attach my actual (not AI) work on an AI post to get views by making fun of a launch. This is actually Fable 5, as you can clearly see (with some of the elements that scream AI generated). But man is it doing a great job!

Guys, I think this is a very important bug to do research into with the rest of the cast. I've tried already with other char's 1,2 , but can't replicate the same as it shows here. It very well may be that a lot of moves have this bug in the game. We just never had an explanation

MCP is mind-blowing. Here is a genius setup that will earn you a promotion with your manager. I have multiple data sources: data in S3, MySQL, and local files. Using Spice (an open-source project), I can co-locate all of that data behind a single SQL endpoint and augment it using MCP. Before, accessing data was slow, and I had to make multiple requests to get anything. After using Spice, I can query the data much faster (since it's mirrored locally), and I don't have to worry about where the data is coming from. Spice acts as an MCP server, so I can connect to it from my IDE or the Claude Desktop app and have access to all the data. But even more cool than that: Spice also acts as an MCP client, so it can connect to other MCP servers. This is where things get really interesting! Watch the video. I'm querying multiple data sources from my IDE and using the Google Maps MCP server for driving directions.

"You can look at it from a lot of points of view. Obviously the gap is smaller now to Lando than it was before the disqualification but Max is also closer in the fight as well. It goes both ways but I think we've taken the lessons, analysed what happened in Vegas. Here is obviously very different to Vegas and a lot of other circuits we go to so hopefully it can be a good weekend! 😁☺️"

Zohran Mamdani: Muslims in this city, for almost as long as we have been in this city, have had to deal with those with power and platform dehumanizing us. And to be called animals, insects, to be called a jihadist mayor, to be called a cockroach, this language is both painfully familiar to me as a Muslim New Yorker, but also as someone who was born in East Africa. And it is difficult to hear. It is also a reminder that the silence that often greets this kind of bigotry, this kind of Islamophobia, is what allows it to fester, the temptation to treat it as politics as usual. I am not ashamed of who I am. I am not ashamed of my faith. I am not ashamed of being the first Muslim mayor in the history of our city. And there is no amount of racism that will change the way in which I lead or the commitment that I hold to each and every New Yorker in this city.

And to be called animals, insects, to be called a jihadist mayor, to be called a cockroach—this language is both painfully familiar to me as a Muslim New Yorker, but also as someone who was born in East Africa. And it is difficult to hear. It is also a reminder that the silence that often greets this kind of bigotry, this kind of Islamophobia, is what allows it to fester—the temptation to treat it as politics as usual. I am not ashamed of who I am. I am not ashamed of my faith. I am not ashamed of being the first Muslim mayor in the history of our city. And there is no amount of racism that will change the way in which I lead or the commitment that I hold to each and every New Yorker in this city.

How does Lee Child start a novel? "If you were a composer writing music, you'd start with a key that you want. G-Major is a cheerful and upbeat key. E-Flat Minor is the opposite. It's down and rather melancholy. So what I do as a writer is start with a vague idea. I want this story to be hard and cold, or I want this story to be hot. And then I'll pick a location that I'm familiar with. I never do research specifically for that book. It always draws on impressions formed over the years from previous visits to places. Do you want it to be the West of Texas, where it's baking hot and arid? Do you want it to be on the Atlantic coast of Maine in April, where it's gray, cold, and misty? So that's how I start. With the sense of place and I'll construct the story around that. The temperature dictates the story." — Lee Child
