I love how competition is great for customers!

You could hardcode the script as a file within a skill too right? Skills can contain code, not just markdown files.

It would be interesting to see if reducing reporting requirements allows more startups to go public earlier in their journey, hence opening up more opportunities for public to participate in the upside!

I would love help from the community on what the best solution for hiring is.

Sharing a real example I am going through -> * A single LinkedIn post about a job I was hiring for got me 300+ candidates in a single day. I am sure if I went through the channels, I would have 1000+ candidates for a single role (assuming 1000 in this example). * There are candidates that I think might be great for the role, who I will do outbound to try to attract them. * A single interview process would involve at least 4+ people in the process, potentially taking half a day of cumulative eng time away from the company (4 hours).

The current hiring process is massively broken for all parties involved. It's not a good experience for candidates, or for hiring managers, or for the people who volunteer their time to interviews.

Out of the 1000 candidates, either AI, or humans today will pick, say, the top 50 to proceed to the next step (with humans). There's no "perfect" process to do this today, hence it's likely to happen based on past employers/colleges/github contributions etc.

Is there an opportunity for AI interviews for the other 950 people and find the hidden gems of talent who get overlooked today because of the biases above? This can especially help people who would be overlooked by typical ATS filtering mechanisms.

Minor clarification, the cost for every input image is $0.0011, not $0.06.

Update - Found it https://www.alterego.io/

I would love to purchase this and see how well it really works? Can't seem to find the direct website of the startup to purchase it though. Any help?

Just curious - would this negatively affect OpenAI's ability to acquire companies in the future?

Maybe the OP got confused with Cursor's $900mil raise? https://cursor.com/blog/series-c

Last disclosed revenue from Cursor was $500mil. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-05/anysphere...

Congratulations @vvyoer! We are active paid users of https://www.unscreen.com/ for video background removal. Do you have plans to add support for video background removal anytime soon?

Cloudflare is comparable to https://mux.com/, not Vimeo. Vimeo's embed settings are supposed to be directly used by marketing teams, not developers.

Important to note that there is no break-up fee that Visa (or Plaid) will pay.

Spectacle isn't being actively maintained according to their webpage. I use better touch tool (https://folivora.ai/) for this.

I agree, it's not that hard to map out markets. I have relied on third party business intelligence softwares like Tracxn to get good overview of markets.

Are there similar tools to automate even the green screen removal process? It's super inefficient right now, especially dealing with green screen light bleed. Tweaking parameters etc on Premiere Pro/After effects takes forever.

An advantage of having cloud gaming would be to enable gaming on Mac and Linux.

Can you please link that video? This video made a compelling point on why first class does not pay and I would love to hear the contrarian perspective.

Loved this presentation from Ben Evans at the a16z conference. Talks about the same thing in more detail.

some vcs are structured to write 30m series a, 50m total to build product, and then 50 to scale

Could you please give examples of a few such funds?

The advertising and media giant, Dentsu, seems to be pretty good at retaining original founders.

Can someone please elaborate on how (and how much) value attending this event adds? Is it geared more for helping you apply to YC, answer generic startup related questions etc?

Specifically, I am selected in YC Startup school and will have to spend at least a day to travel to attend the session. Is it worth the extra time and money?

Just curious, when online, I would expect Google Speech to text models to outperform most of the offline only models. I also believe for text to speech their wavenet models are one of the best available for developers?

Thanks a lot, this list is really helpful!

It is worth recalling that SpaceX only flew a "used" booster for the first time in March 2017.

It's amazing this happened just a little over a year ago.

IMHO this is how self driving applications should start. Driving on the US freeways (say between LA and SF) isn't about your driving skills. It's mostly just about trying not to fall asleep. And machines are way better than humans at this!

Even outside the US, there are many areas (like UAE), which have amazing highways, sparse traffic and there isn't rail/air connectivity to some places. Self driving "shuttles" seem perfect for those applications.

Not an expert but I believe controlling Lithium reserves is a great way of attracting companies that rely on Battery tech?

I wouldn't be surprised if the plan is to move all WhatsApp users to Messenger. People use WhatsApp over messenger primarily because how "light" the app feels. It feels exactly like SMS for free, which was always the appeal of the app. Given the trend to make a Lite version of every Android app, Facebook should be prioritising WhatsApp, not planning to migrate it to Messenger.

PS - Has a mass migration of community from one product to the other ever been successfully pulled off?

Adding some more relevant information:

India is having a digital revolution since the launch of Reliance Jio. They had launched a phone called as JioPhone [1]. This is powered by KaiOS, hence the market share of KaiOS in India has significantly increased. KaiOS is the second most popular mobile OS in India (ahead of iOS)[3].

JioPhone sold nearly 40 million units in the last quarter[2]! This is a huge market for Google to build apps for as well.

How would it work if the mask was covering the mouth region? Afaik teeth have always been difficult to reproduce...

Is the code for this open source?
