Why it worked

Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: Indie hackers and solo founders

From @JoannaStern's great video review of the @1x_tech Neo of today (she makes it clear this isn't what's shipping in 2026). For now, it's all remote operated and it's *still* struggling a little to do basic stuff. This isn't crapping on it, it just that this stuff is HARD.

Day 5 of Paul Graham rewriting what people actually say into gay fanfiction and declaring said fanfiction to be the dumbest thing he has ever seen. PG is gone, guys. Remember him as he was in the good times, not selling out American workers and belittling their religion. RIP.

Apple’s American-made advanced servers are now shipping from our new Houston facility to Apple data centers! These servers will help power Private Cloud Compute and Apple Intelligence, as part of our $600 billion US commitment.

wow @garrytan just exposed Anthropic as total frauds Claude Code was ONLY 512K LOC ☹️ Gary is shipping 37K LOCs PER DAY so Gary could recreate all of Claude Code in ONLY 13 days! a supposedly $380 billion is big trouble

Some news: I’ve heard from three sources that CBS News dismissed the #2 producer on the CBS Evening News, Javier Guzman, after the show tonight. Unclear what the rationale was, but led to confusion in the newsroom… and it’s only week 1 of the show.

> be anthropic > see an indie project built on your model > it sold more of your $200/mo subscriptions than your incompetent marketing ever could > ban accounts for using it > copystrike its funny name that drives more discovery of your products @DarioAmodei do you hate success?

More from Brad Lynch

Snap just announced their latest generation AR glasses "Snap Specs" arrives in 47 or 52 mm sizes. Dual Chip architecture onboard LCoS waveguides with a 51 degree field of view. Electro-chromatic Dimming. 4 Hours of Battery. 132g Starting price is 2,195 USD. Launching Fall 2026

Take this with a grain of salt, because it was just whispers in my ear But back when I was told a figure for what Valve’s estimated price they’d have to set the starting price of Steam Machine, it was still higher than today’s Steam Deck prices.. And that was 2 months ago..

I use speech to text on headsets more than any other device. But it’s awkward to do around others. The fix: Apple acquired t.co a startup whose technology can analyze facial micro-movements to interpret "silent speech," in a deal valued at close to $2 billion

The way AndroidXR “previewed” the Auto Spatialization feature gets me the most hyped (and the most skeptical) The Cities game is looking like a full 6DoF window instead of just a normal stereo 3D view. Just like Apple’s Spatial Scenes That would be INSANE if that worked well

“Executives have discussed potential budget cuts as high as 30% for the metaverse group next year, which includes the virtual worlds product Meta Horizon Worlds and its Quest virtual reality unit” I guess the Metaverse is turning out to be a legendary misadventure…

I didn’t think I’d be receiving two brand new XR headsets this week… from the largest hardware manufacturers in the world I think after I get my Samsung Galaxy XR, the question I’ll ask myself: Do interested enthusiasts buy this OR a used Vision Pro M2 for about the same price
