when you walk into a room, you should ask yourself only one question… what is each individuals “system prompt”?
One of the most important things I've learned from 20 years of talking to startups at Y Combinator is how few local maximums there are. Founders can just put their heads down and focus on growth, without more than a few months' lookahead, and they'll almost always do well.

This week my 9-5 laid off two loyal employees.
I will repeat this until blue in the face:
was talking to a friend about my product manager post & we were both like, how are there still so many ppl who can’t build anything, even with ai holding their hand? it’s ridiculous. there are too many thinkers, not enough builders.
if you have an idea, you build it. that’s the only way to test if it holds up. bezos made people write six page memos instead of slides to force clear thinking. that was smart then. but now prototypes do the job better.
@jobergum if anyone interested , there is a private version of HijackedAI where companies can test the strength of their prompts without revealing it
Gemini 2.5 Flash can control a browser! Excited to share Gemini Browser Agent, a simple Python script example on how to use @GoogleDeepMind Gemini 2.5 Flash and @browser_use to act as general assistant! 🤯
Usage Examples:
1⃣ Single Query Mode: `python scripts/gemini-browser-use.py --url google(.)com/search?q=google+gemini+2.5+flash --query "Summarize the key features of Gemini 2.5 Flash."`
2⃣Interactive Mode: Start an interactive session, optionally with a starting URL.
python scripts/gemini-browser-use.py
Command-line options:
--model: The Gemini model to use (default: gemini-2.5-flash-preview-04-17)
--headless: Run the browser in headless mode
--url: Starting URL for the browser to navigate to before processing the query
--query: Run a single query and exit (instead of interactive mode)

Billions worth of system prompts are exposed in a single repo. The scale of IP leaks is remarkable in the LLM era.

My telomeres say I'm 10 years old.
They are regenerated at the vibrancy of a 12 year old.
Data:
Telomeres: 10.27 kilobases
Telomerase activity: 7.7%
Telomeres are like shoelace tips on your DNA, protecting your chromosomes every time your cells divide.
Telomerase is the enzyme that maintains and restores telomere length with each cell division.
Short telomeres = old, damaged cells.
Long telomeres = youth, repair, longevity.
Why it matters:
+ Lower biological age
+ Slower cellular aging
+ Preserved genomic integrity
+ Resistance to entropy
Data sources:
My telomere biological age is 10 years, based on a database of 15,000 other participants who took the test.
Validated by comparing to a cohort of 12,230 participants (age between 20-100 years old: 2.5th-97.5th percentiles) from 6 countries.
Note: 12-months average 12.07 kb, parallel test from a different provider 11.4 kb

Hi @Shopify, room for one more?
A startup's initial problem is usually what the product should be and how to get the first users. It may sound like those are two problems, but they're not. Ideally you solve them simultaneously, and the process of trying to get users shows you what the product should be.
Small teams let you move faster.
Less meetings.
Less politics.
Less waiting around for approval.
It’s just build, ship, repeat.
In 1999, Google had a few dozen employees. Staff meetings included birthday cakes, beer and silly string.
