With all the latest cybesecurity attacks, our users asked for private machines. We shipped native @Tailscale. Now your @Zipbox_ machine boots straight into your private @Tailscale network. Your agent can reach your services. The public internet can’t.
Your AI agent just joined your tailnet. @Tailscale is now native in @Zipbox_. Give your agent a cloud computer on your private network. Let it reach your services. Keep its desktop, terminal and apps off the public internet. Your cloud computer. Your network.

With all these recent hacks, "Trust" just became a lot harder to earn. Startups are going to have a much harder time convincing people to hand over their creds.

Spent the last two days rotating API keys and hardening security on @Zipbox_. It's exhausting even with agents

Anyone else wondering who’s behind all the cybersecurity chaos in the last 48 hours? Are we dealing with humans using AI, or AI acting without humans? Feels like we’re entering uncharted territory.

Once this is fully productionized, the only scarce “true” store of value is Bitcoin.
Last month, we demonstrated high-rate alchemy: turning mercury into real, stable gold, beating CERN’s record by a factor of 10. Last week, we enriched isotopes in the world’s most powerful plasma centrifuge, beating the Soviet record that stood for 40 years. Now, we’re building a fusion reactor in San Francisco to achieve record power density.

Crypto is winning so hard that the word “crypto” is becoming obsolete. Web3 is dead. Decentralization isn’t the killer app. Finance is. Eventually nobody will talk about crypto as a separate industry. It’ll just be the financial system running on better rails.
NEW: Andreessen Horowitz plans to drop "crypto" from the name of its flagship blockchain fund, according to The Information. The reported rebranding comes just months after a16z raised $2.2 billion for its fifth crypto fund.

I think @DennisonBertram is on to something with this.
I built Cursor for Hardware. Design and simulate complete electronic projects, export build instructions, complete PCBs routed and ready for production. Super fun. Totally open source!

Foursquare was such a delightful product. It brought me tremendous joy back in its consumer era.
Foursquare was acquired last month. The outcome was disappointing. It's taken me a while to write this, but I think I'm finally done grieving it. Here are some thoughts on our final years, an effort to honor the team who helped build & maintain FSQ's legacy, and my attempt to finally get some closure. teendrama.substack.com/p/som…

Eight months ago I started a business and let AI make every decision. I just did what it told me. I may have been one of the first meat proxies. 423 signups. 17 dinners. 72 strangers at my table. Total cost: $460. Here's what happened, and what the AI got wrong. A thread.

Zipbox is programmable now! API, 4 SDKs, CLI and MCP. Create boxes, run code, move files and publish URLs from your own apps and workflows. Go build something weird with it. I want to see what you come up with.
(1/4) The Zipbox API is live. MCP and CLI included. Create and manage boxes, run code, stream output, move files, and publish HTTPS previews. TypeScript, Python, Go, and Rust. Pick your flavor.

As a left-hander, I'm not sure how well this will feel. Most of the controls are made for right-handers. I guess I'd have to test it out at an @Apple store.
