🆕: @Meta and @stripe are partnering to make it easy for businesses to accept agentic payments using the @Muse Connector Platform. Learn more: • https://t.co/kGsKMULe3m • https://t.co/Fn5U2QRaaz • Email jweinstein@ / @jeff_weinstein Quoting @finkd Opening access for developers to build Muse connectors. You bring the API -- Muse brings the agent, the browser, and the context of what the person actually wants. People reach your service just by asking for it, and their agent takes it from there. New connectors are live today. Come build with us. Related

This is huge! You all know I'm a huge Cloud Agents fan. Even joined the team! :) For the past months or so, I rarely opened any localhost agent. This new feature is especially very important and useful for workloads that were hard to support with custom environments only. Give it a try. Quoting @cursor_ai You can now run Cursor cloud agents on your infrastructure, including pools of machines that automatically scale with demand. This lets you give agents access to internal services or specialized hardware, while the agent loop stays in Cursor. Related

Thanks @jasonlk! Lot to do still but: 1) @linear is used by pretty much by all major labs/ai companies out there 2) our MCP traffic grows 50% MoM 3) we have the most agent integrations and active usage than any platform like this (3rd party, in-house agents) 4) our AI revenue (loops, coding sessions) has grown about 500% per quarter 5) we are closing several public companies/enterprises each quarter to help them coordinate their agent work Quoting @HarryStebbings The Bull Case for Linear Being a $100BN Company: "Linear is the clear winner. They have built an agentic product first that allows us to build 100x more software, and that means 100x more features than ever before.

I opened up Apple Maps' search box and its new ads suggested I go to JetBlue Airways, the JetBlue terminal at JFK airport 39 miles away. I opened up Google Maps' search box, and 100% of the screen space is devoted to my presets (Home/Work/etc.) and my Recent searches. Apple continues to embarrass itself with its shitty ad plays. In the meantime, I'll keep using Google Maps, because it's just *better*, and — something I never thought I'd say — it respects me more as the user, with fewer ads. 🤯 Google Related

RE: https://mastodon.social/@danluu/111037093079443322 With the discussions of how bot traffic is flooding websites, I was surprised to find that my CDN is "only" using 3.5 TB/mo, up 3x in 3 years. Human traffic is probably down because I haven't been active for the last couple years, so maybe we can call that a 4x to 5x increase due to bots? Maybe my site just isn't very appealing to bots, but from the way people talk, I was expecting a higher ratio. I would've guessed >= 100x from how people are talking; 10x would be nothing in terms of load. Related

@MisterMoo @delric The thing to complain about isn't that they default to Google. It's that they only include search engines in the list that have paid TAC deals. Only search engines that agree to pay Apple for the traffic are in the list, and there's no option for users to add custom ones. English, from eo @MisterMoo @delric La cosa de la que quejarse no es que por defecto usen Google. Es que solo incluyen motores de búsqueda en la lista que tienen acuerdos TAC de pago. Solo los motores de búsqueda que aceptan pagar a Apple por el tráfico están en la lista, y no hay opción para que los usuarios añadan los suyos propios.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
