As promised, syneva.dev is now live
I'm actively using the product to build it myself, but there are still features I want to add before the first release
Here's a preview of what works and what's coming

Bon je vais réagir au tweet de mon frero @kylian_khalifa que j’apprécie bcp en plus, mais pour le coup je ne suis pas d’accord.
On est tous des entrepreneurs ici, on se bat tous pour nos projets et pour réussir. Mais les gars, parfois quand la vie vous frappe alors que vous avez fait les bons choix mdrrr ça vous rend humble.
J’ai 31 ans cette année, et pour la première fois de ma vie je me sens complètement duper. Et j’ai aucune honte à le dire ici.
Ok j’ai monté un projet cool, on a fait plusieurs millions de CA, ouvert dans plusieurs pays, eu des très gros clients, vécu des choses que j’aurais jamais imaginées.
Mais je vous promets qu’à l’heure actuelle je ne sais plus vraiment où je vais. Et je pense pas être le seul dans cette situation.
Parce que parfois, la vie te frappe. Et peu importe à quel point tu as travaillé dur, les bonnes décisions que tu as prises ou ce que tu as réussi à construire, tu peux te retrouver à devoir tout remettre en question.
On est responsables de nos choix, oui. Mais on ne maîtrise pas tout ce qui nous arrive.
Et surtout, je ne pense pas qu’il y ait un âge à partir duquel on n’a plus le droit de se chercher, de tomber ou de recommencer.

Marc obviously deserves his business success but let’s not be naive.
It doesn’t take being a hater to notice how your parents economic situation can influence your entrepreneurial journey.
We need to be realistic here.
If you have no real fallback:
1. You can’t work FT on your project
2. Building a business on top of 40 hours workweek is almost impossible and possibly not worth it
3. Risking losing a job ‘cause you’re focused elsewhere can send you to the streets
I think everyone of us has seen it in real life:
- friends with rich parents with many more “bullets” and much less stress in trying
- friends with no rich parents with financial anxiety and stress from their youth
It’s not the same.
And it’s not just “rich” and “poor”. The whole spectrum matters.
As well as other non financial variables, including parents/friends/partner support etc.
Personally, as someone without a real fallback, despite being more into entrepreneurship than 9-5, I’ve prioritised getting a few good jobs early in my career.
This has given me enough income to afford a normal (/good) life, and to save up a really useful financial buffer.
Afterwards I tried my business and was able to build it without going insane with the fear of ending on the streets.
I personally recommend this path to other kids too.
Basically:
1. Get valuable skills
2. Get a high paying job
3. Save money + gain experience
4. After building some security, trade additional income and security with bullets for trying your thing
I talk more about it here, also sharing my journey more in detail: theeuropeanengineer.com/p/ho…
Never seen a take that idiotic and dumb
Advantages compounds
Its possible but WAY harder to come back after 20 bad years, let alone 30

Beaucoup de gens ne se rendent pas compte de ce que c’est que venir d’en bas, pour de vrai, et d’être arabe/noir.
Oui, je crois au fait qu’on peut réussir si on travaille mais ce genre de take, c’est pas bon.
On a pas les mêmes départs.
On a pas les mêmes mains tendues.
On a pas le même accès à l’information… et ce point, c’est le plus important.
La plupart des gens ne savent même pas qu’ils le peuvent.
Ils savent même pas qu’ils peuvent se donner le droit de rêver et d’avoir une vie différente.
Mais le jour où tu leur apprends qu’il y a des chemins possibles pour, là ils le prennent.
Ce que beaucoup sous-estiment c’est aussi le niveau de racisme en France.
Que ce soit de façon directe ou de façon indirecte.
Quand j’ai commencé en tant que SALES, Patrick vend mieux que Mohamed en cold-call.
Et de +30%.
Alors que c’est la même personne.
Antoine vend mieux que Hamza. Ce sont les mêmes personnes.
J’ai des compétiteurs qui, dans leur pub, dans leur marketing, disent :
« … si vous préférez la tête de notre team plutôt que celle des autres »
Ou encore qui appuient sur le fait que l’entreprise soit 100% française. Nous aussi ?
Que ce soit à tous les niveaux : pour trouver du taff, pour se faire financer, pour trouver un appart, il y a toujours au moins un élément en plus à prendre en compte.
On peut le voir ici aussi sur Twitter où un mec de la tech résume le profil d’un mec à l’apparence maghrébine à celui d’un casseur. De quel droit ?
Ou de sous-entendre qu’il est au chômage ?
Ce genre de choses, qui arrive tous les jours, qui fait que déjà personne n’a les mêmes chances.
Restons humbles.
La chance, ça se provoque, oui.
Mais il y a d’autres conditions.
D’autres choses que vous n’avez jamais vécues, jamais vues.
Parlez aux gens, et vous vous rendrez compte que leur vie n’est pas si simple que ça.

Not nice @marclou, not nice at all. If you can be anything in life, be kind.
Walid retweeted
If you are successful and you look down on someone unemployed or asume he might be because he isn't white or you use it as a smear word to win an argument, you showed me all about your character that I never wanted to see.
Kindness and humility always > MRR

That's the biggest trap of survivor bias that you can find. Same with successful VCs. They like to believe their success is just by their own merits.
If anyone of the big ones a brave enough to prove such claims, start a new business under a pseudonym. Not using your existing network
That’s the people who will be replaced by AI
using it since day 1, the best one out there and opensource ! Don't understand people using whisper flow or other closed source
no matter what agent you're using, your voice is the best way to talk to them
and hex is the best way to use your voice:
- fast
- runs locally
- works on mac, windows, linux
stable release now available: anoma.ly/hex
So Terra is globally better than sol ? And on Par with Astra ? Let see if that’s true
I’ve always said that inference is basically free money for those frontier labs
All the “they will cut the subsidizing” crap is done, they may someday stop the subscription part, but clearly the price of tokens will go down, and we will get it cheaper soon
Anthropic "is burning cash like crazy" was one big lie, spread by the Ed Zitrons of the world.
For the first 6 months of 2026, Anthropic generated positive free cash flow of $3.4 billion ($3.9 billion of cash flow from operations less $482 million of capex).
And stock-based compensation was only $2.2 billion.. So even FCF less SBC was positive.
I'm pretty sure it's like for cars or Intel processors for example
Nvidia manufactures a quantity of cards, each carrying a set number of defects.
They then form products based on defect ranges.

Yep, Anthropic contributed zero, literally zero value.
All it did was to announce Mythos, said Mythos is going to hack everything, got 50 or so companies to pay millions for access. They helped zero security researchers. Their safety classifier trips when even reading a vulnerability report.
OpenAI on the other hand, rolled out sensible KYC, gave access to Daybreak Blue, and see what the community has done with GPT-5.6-Sol (daybreak version).
One creates all the fear-mongering and delivers zero value, and the other quietly just carries everyone forward.
gotta give it to openai and their sane daybreak program
heif heist by harsh
kvmescape by paulos
php2shell by lcfr
gitlab rces by joaxcar
chrome full chain by moyix
wordpress rce by hashkitten
all largely thanks to openai daybreak giving researchers access to gpt 5.6 sol. anthropic took the opposite approach, gatekeeping access, there is a lesson to be learned here

What the fuck are you even talking about? DeepSeek gave us a thousand times more than anyone else in this industry.
The weights, under MIT. Their production inference engine, under Apache 2.0, this week. Their attention kernels, their MoE communication library, their FP8 matmul library, their own distributed file system. The papers that explain how all of it works. And the component that makes your own deployment behave exactly like their API.
Now tell me what OpenAI and Anthropic gave us.
A $500 a month subscription. Limits that keep shrinking. Usage that drains faster than your plan says, until someone admits it was a bug. Models people swear got nerfed a month after launch. And a wave of account bans where nobody even tells you why.
Not 1 weight from Anthropic. Not 1 line of the code that serves ChatGPT.
Yes, the training data is not public, so call it open weights if you want. I do. But you picked the 1 lab that opened more of its real stack than anyone, and called it a lie.
Are you fucking out of your mind? You're the only one selling lies here.
DeepSeek sold you a lie.
Its new model, V4.1-Flash, is being sold as "open source".
It's not.
You can download it free, with no sign-up and use it in your business which sounds open source.
But you can't access the code they used to train it or the data they trained it on.
Without those, nobody can check how it was made or rebuild it and it’s over 700 billion parameters, so you can’t even run it on your laptop.
When you can build a business on something but can’t see how it was made, the right term is "open weights".
Call it what it is.

Jensen closed his GTC Berlin 2026 keynote with this Hermes Agent demo as the finale.
He introduced it by saying the way to build an agent is to ask an agent to build it for you, so he installed and set up a customized Hermes in one prompt.
Then he used Hermes, running on @nvidia RTX Spark, to create a simulated training environment for the @huggingface Microduck. Hermes planned an obstacle course with Nemotron and had GPT-6 Astra build it using FreeCAD, Omniverse libraries, Blender, Newton, and Isaac Lab. Hermes trained thousands of simulated ducks on that course until the validated policy was ready to run on the real robot in the physical world.
At Nous, we believe open source is a practical tool as much as a philosophical ideal. It gives users the ability to build powerful, complex workflows chaining numerous local+cloud models, devices, and tools themselves instead of waiting for a company to enable them.
