Asian seniors targeted in snatch & grab of necklace by thieves in white bmw in sf richmond. “SFDP said they believed the two were casing the Richmond area for people to rob. Video from the operation showed the suspects speaking with an elderly woman near the corner of 17th Avenue and Cabrillo Street, who was clinging to her purse.”
I expect this living in marxist city like Saigon, but now bc these crime lovers have taken over our city & state, we have it regularly here too. Vote smarter SF!

Re I’ve been building with Replit for nearly 2 years now, and to say Agent4 can handle multi agent is an understatement.
Speed running at least 6 Apps from idea to App Store submission today.
Without it I would say it’ll take 5-10x as long at the minimum. My first app with Replit took 2 months, second 2 weeks, and today 6 in 24 hours. While maintaining if not increasing quality

Re I heard 4x the anticipated server load! I've been coding for 15 hours straight with minimal hiccups. The amount of features I have released in half a day is equivalent to years of engineering work in the past. Replit has truly outdone itself with Agent 4. Hats off to the entire team!

Going on 14 hours straight building with #Replit. Working on four apps simultaneously, multiple agents churning, each nearly flawlessly. What a ride! Progress that would have taken months in only 14 hours. Huge shout out for this opportunity! #replit10buildathon @amasad

Oakland has a population of 450,000 people. It is blessed with geographic conditions existing almost nowhere else that allow year-round temperatures in the low 70s. It is also, notoriously, a crime ridden hellhole.
90 percent of the crime is committed by about 1200 recidivists.
Oakland could make crime vanish by making these people vanish. Into a prison or whatever. Instead, Oakland elects progressive mayors and prosecutors who keep these people on the streets, keep encampments in the parks, provide no remedy for rampant property crime and disorder and keep spending hundreds of thousands of public dollars in social services and criminal justice expenditures every year for each of these individuals who are nothing but detrimental and will never be anything else.
Marc Porter Magee 🎓: “approximately 50 violent groups or gangs in Oakland with an active membership of between 1,000 and 1,200 people, which represented just 0.3% of the population … were responsible for up to 85% of the city’s homicides”

Starbucks was started in 1971 in downtown Seattle. Howard Schultz bought it in 1987 and took it public in 1992 with 140 stores, then grew it to 677 locations by 1995. Today it has 38,000 stores across more than 80 countries.
Katie Wilson was just elected Seattle Mayor on November 13, 2025 when she called for a boycott of Starbucks.
Starbucks officially announced their new headquarters with 2,000 employees in Nashville, Tennessee, on April 21, 2026.
Another example of how democrat socialist policies actually work out.

Reminders for everyone building on @Replit today
Ask agent to build a mobile app as a task
You will get a native mobile app for free
In the same project
You are welcome

Re @gao_zibo All of this and more is coming

I built my product in @Replit as a part of 10yr Replit Buildathon! Got Replit free for 24 hrs so why not! Vibe coded my first landing page and mobile app for @UniAmico - a platform to guide high schoolers and their parents to finding best art colleges. Yeah you guessed it right! I am solving my problem too 😊

This is a good explanation of why the gap between open and closed models is larger than it appears in benchmarks. I would add in that current open models are also more fragile than closed: they handle out-of-distribution problems far less well & have lower emergent capabilities.

The number one mistake I see in AI usage is not managing your context proactively.
Here's my new episode with @ravi_mehta (ex-CPO Tinder) where he shared his 3-layer context system to build useful AI products:
→ Functional: What the app does
→ Visual: What the app looks like
→ Data: How the data structure works
Ravi showed me exactly how to combine all 3 layers live by building a music discovery app from scratch.
You’ll never prompt AI the same way again after learning about Ravi’s approach.

Demis Hassabis says he plays chess with Gemini to trace the model's chain-of-thought.
As a former chess prodigy, he can tell when the model starts reasoning itself into trouble. Sometimes it sees a blunder, searches for something better, then plays the blunder anyway.
That’s what jagged intelligence looks like.

The number of jobs in the future is endless because the problems to solve are endless.
Jobs multiply as we get more complex.
No AI or human can solve all problems and all the work to do in the Universe because those problems are limitless. The problems are endless and infinite.
Technology and automation are nothing but abstractions. The old way gets automated and we move up the stack to solve more problems.
We used to live in mud huts.
Hammers and nails and boards automated parts of the old problem of "build a place to live."
Once solved we got more complex houses and buildings that brought their own problems as they brought more complexity, so we got new jobs like stone mason and architect and more. Complexity breeds new problems and new solutions and new jobs.
When we got steel and concrete we got skyscrapers.
Each problem solved is an abstracted solution for a previous problem that stacks on top of other abstractions.
That's all that automation and technology is at the deepest levels.
The jobs are endless because the problems to solve are endless.
Understand this and you understand the future.
Misunderstand it and your error compounds and radiates out, corrupting your understanding.

AI will create more jobs than any other technology in history.
The doomers' fundamental error isn't just the lump of labor fallacy. It's deeper than that.
They assume a finite problem space.
This is the fundamental error of AI and job doomers. They look at the economy and see a fixed amount of work to be done, a pie that can only be sliced thinner as machines take bigger bites. They see humans a competitive resource for a finite amount of work and a finite amount of problems to solve that must be eliminated.
This is fundamentally, totally and completely wrong.
The pie isn't fixed. It never was. And the reason it isn't fixed is baked into the very nature of technology itself.
Technology is nothing but abstraction stacking. And abstraction stacking is infinite. Therefore the work is infinite.
The hammer didn't reduce the amount of work. It moved the work up the stack. And the new work was more complex, more varied, and more interesting than the old work.
Complexity breeds more complexity and more variety.
Once you have houses instead of mud huts, you have a cascade of new problems that didn't exist before. Plumbing. Wiring. Insulation. Roofing materials that don't rot. Drainage systems so the foundation doesn't flood. Fire codes so your neighbor's bad wiring doesn't burn down the whole block.
Each of those problems becomes a job. A plumber. An electrician. An insulator. A roofer. A civil engineer. A building inspector. None of those jobs existed when we lived in mud huts.
They exist because we solved the mud hut problem.
Think of all of human technological development as a stack of abstraction layers, each one built on top of the ones below it.
At the bottom: raw survival. Finding food. Building shelter. Making fire. These are the base-layer problems.
Each major technology wave solved a base-layer problem and in doing so created an entirely new layer of problems above it:
Agriculture solved "how do we reliably eat?" — and created problems of land ownership, irrigation, crop rotation, storage, trade, taxation, and governance.
Writing solved "how do we remember things across generations?" — and created problems of literacy, education, record-keeping, law, bureaucracy, and literature.
The printing press solved "how do we spread knowledge at scale?" — and created problems of intellectual property, censorship, journalism, publishing, public opinion, and democratic discourse.
The steam engine solved "how do we generate mechanical power without muscles?" — and created problems of factory design, worker safety, urban planning, railroad engineering, coal mining, labor relations, and environmental pollution.
Electricity solved "how do we deliver energy anywhere?" — and created problems of grid design, power generation, appliance manufacturing, electrical safety codes, utility regulation, and an entire consumer electronics industry.
The Internet solved "how do we connect all human knowledge?" — and created problems of cybersecurity, digital privacy, online commerce, content moderation, network infrastructure, cloud computing, social media dynamics, and an entire digital economy that employs tens of millions.
Notice the pattern?
Each solution didn't just solve a problem.
It created an entirely new problem space that was larger, more complex, and more varied than the one it replaced.
The stack grows. It never shrinks.
It's turtles all the way down and all the way up.

Also all of the waterfront area around YC in the dogpatch is empty.
Yeah there are “plans” to fix it but only in 2026 California would the land right next to the building that produces 700 startups a year be empty for any amount of time.

Tax or benefit cliffs are almost always stupid policy, they punish people for earning or paying slightly more, creating irrational incentives and unfair outcomes
Unsurprisingly, San Francisco tax code is completely full of them
Rohin Dhar: San Francisco real estate transfer tax by value
1. Tax is not marginal, so jumps tremendously at each cutoff
2. By default in the purchase agreement, the seller pays the transfer tax (though everything, including this, is negotiable)

.@Noahpinion: "If you want a European-style welfare state, you have to have high taxes on the upper middle class and the merely-rich — you have to tax millionaires, not just billionaires.
Disturbingly, though, it’s not clear that funding a welfare state is Democrats’ main reason for taxing the ultra-rich. When faced with the prospect of top earners leaving her state due to high tax rates, Seattle’s self-described socialist mayor Katie Wilson responded: “Like, bye.”
Why would a socialist grin at the prospect of a reduced tax base? It’s possible that the reason progressive Democrats want to tax the ultra-rich is not to fund anything, but simply to reduce the social status and power of the billionaire class."
