Should have said this was a fear to promote a b2b sass "TrustClaw"

- O'Reilly subscription (access all training/materials from them and Manning)

- Find coaches/consultants and have something paid forward for next year

- Substack subscriptions to individuals

- Maven courses

Comet just open-sourced the Opik Agent Optimizer SDK, a new tool designed to automate and systematize prompt/agent optimization for LLM applications. If you’re tired of manual prompt tweaking, this SDK lets you run optimizer algorithms (Bayesian, evolutionary, meta-prompt, etc.) against your own datasets, regardless of framework or model provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, etc.).

Very interesting as CNCF also behind https://opentelemetry.io/ could make for an interesting approach.

Interested to see how the "messaging" protocols will work at this scale with use of pub/sub for agent communication (https://dapr.github.io/dapr-agents/home/principles/#5-messag...).

100% but this is not the same thing, nor is this going to replace the agent SDK (or visa versa). Agents will always need some form of communication protocol, if we look at the world and agentic frameworks its a sea of logos and without some forms of open standards this would be hard.

I'm currently at Comet and I have personally worked on MCP implementations AND have made some contributions to Agent SDK in the form of a native integration and improvement to test suite.

Our recent integration shipped on day 1:

I think the key to what OpenAI is pushing towards is simplicity for developers through very easy to use components. I won't comment on the strategy or pricing etc, but on first glance as a developer the simple modular approach and lack of bloat in their SDK is refreshing.

Kudos to the team and people working on the edge to innovate and think differently in an already crowded and shifting landscape.

So google = no go? - How did you launch your other products?

An anti-aging pill for senior dogs is now in clinical trials — and if it works as hoped, it might not only extend your pet’s lifespan, but one day lead to treatments that extend yours as well.

soma.fm looks cool, thanks for the reccomendation

Second brain, I have processes to trigger and re-surface notes. Raw notes i "recycle" on a regular basis into my second brain. Anki is great for things i need to constantly remember like key facts.

Bingo

Supposed "right sizing" due to economic factors such as interest rates and the rapid hiring that's happened over the last few years. You can track them on https://layoffs.fyi/

"In the new paper, the team reports the functioning of the new system in two human patients. The team also presents data from a series of different animal models including successful recordings from rat barrel cortex in both acute and chronic settings; recording of the somatosensory cortex in an anesthetized pig; and recordings in non-human primates at different depths inside the brain."

Only way is up :)

Just launched 2nd.vc, aiming to redefine how startups meet investors. Our platform opens doors for startups at various stages, offering them a streamlined path to connect with a network of global VCs and investors. It's about making the right connections easier and more accessible for innovators and investors alike. Whether you're seeking seed funding or growth capital, 2nd.vc is designed to facilitate these critical connections. We're excited to see how this platform can change the dynamics of startup funding. Feedback from the startup community is highly appreciated!

I have been working on combining the works of a number of open-source scripts for improving security and setting up mac os x for developers in one single script for 95% of environments. Would love any feedback and/or feature suggestions!
