Luke Hallard (@7LukeHallard) reportedEarnings season hits Wall Street Wildlife this week — Rocket Lab reports, a tiny Long Island radio company is swinging triple digits, and Krzysztof is literally fighting for his life against Polish mosquitoes the size of scorpions. Two stocks, two very different risk profiles, one question: are these stories real — or just great narratives with no orders behind them? 🚀 $RKLB earnings preview: the ONE number Luke is watching that will make or break the bull case — and it's not revenue 📊 Rocket Lab's backlog hit $2.2B — but operating margins are getting *worse*. How does that math work? 🎯 Luke breaks down the Neutron rocket timeline: already slipped twice, and R&D costs are exploding. Has it slipped again? 🤖 $AMPG — a tiny Long Island radio company with NVIDIA and Amazon logos on its website. Genius move or red flag? 🌐 Why the giants (Ericsson, Nokia, Huawei) literally cannot compete with AmpliTech in this niche — the answer is weirder than you think 💀 Krzysztof admits he didn't drill into the fine print before buying — and the stock promptly doubled, then gave it all back

"Million-Step Ron's" Common Sense Fitness (@RonStelter) reportedI’ve walked a lot for many years-probably at least 35 years. I kick myself now because I never really tracked my steps until about two years ago. (I think the total number of steps I have walked in my life is probably well over 100 million steps.) Two years ago, I purchased a 20-dollar, low-tech step counter from Amazon and found it to be extremely motivating to try to get as many steps as possible. However, I still never started recording my step counts until April 2025. Since then, I have written my step counts down every day. It’s all very “low-tech”: I have my Amazon step counter, then come home and write it down in a Word doc and publish it to X. (I actually even “underrecord” my steps since I don’t usually wear my step counter around my home.)

Suzanne (@Suzanne_Vacay) reported@DanielDiMartino Cheap foreign goods made producers relocate to foreign countries because they couldn’t compete in the U.S. What cheap goods have been restricted from Dollar Stores, Amazon, etc? Vance campaigned on giving incentives for US producers to come back to the U.S. Problem with that?

Theywork4US (@theywork4USall) reported@LithiumFlower22 So right! The frequent handoffs to USPS are unbelievable with the number of trucks in my neighborhood every day. I don't even get the mail the USPS app says they are delivering every day. I used to be amazed at the number of packages delivered on the correct day even if it was at night. Something is broken at Amazon logistics. Maybe Elon should have someone help them figure it out.

Mr Never Sell (@MrNeverSell) reported@StoxSamA Well it do seem to exists caps in this case if he has to discuss his purchase with his lawyers. So obviously something is happening behind the scenes. Or are you implying that he is lying? I don’t mind if people say they think its a small sum, but being rude and attacking him personally just pisses me off. Also this isn’t a moment of crisis. Do you see or hear anyone from the Open team describing their journey as a crisis? Neither Kaz, or any one else from their team gives a rats *** about peoples feelings or gambling on the stock market. He has a company to run. And the company is doing fine. When Amazon was down at most, and everyone on Wall Street was mocking them, did you see Jeff Bezos run and buy stocks? No. So why should Kaz? These people know their companies like they know their kids. They don’t have to prove anything to some whiny and rude shareholders.

John Paterson (@JohnPaterson24) reportedThought I’d do a bit of a recap since I’m right at the 30 day mark from my first 3 liquidation deliveries. I’ve learned a ton so far. So I spent $9,200 total on 3 auctions. I’ve sold $6,300 of inventory at a net profit $2,392 on those items, which looks good at a 60% ROI at the 30 day mark. I paid a rough average of about 30% of MSRP between the 3. Obviously the ROI will come down a bit with some of the less desirable items. Overall I’m not mad about that, I had hoped to recoup my full buy cost by now and truly be into the profit zone, but between being a bit slow to get stuff listed and a sourcing mistake I’ll mention below, here we are. I hesitate to call it a mistake, more tuition at this point. The 2 patio focused auctions were 13 total pieces, but 6 were outdoor dining table style sets. 2 of those 6 are a high top fire tables which have some market, but the other 4 have zero market and I will 100% lose money on 2 of 4. One of those 2 I’m into for almost $800 that came with only 1 leg and I’ve not had much luck figuring out a replacement. My last resort options are seeing if I can find a buyer who will figure it out or a machine shop to fabricate another leg. If there was a market for the table I’d go that route, but throwing more money at it at this point feels like a bad plan. The MSRP on those 2 auctions was about $22k, and $10,400 of it is tables. NO BUENO. So that’s lesson 1, I thought I paid too much at 30% but the actual problem is $10k MSRP worth of stuff with extremely small demand. I wish I had done the math more on this yesterday because I would have bid more aggressively on another patio truckload yesterday I lost. I take solace in the fact there wasn’t a ton to be done research wise to prevent this. There doesn’t seem to be anyone doing this local to me so finding comps for the patio stuff was next to impossible. It was more a throw it against the wall and see what sticks situation. Last week I negotiated prices on a truckload of Wayfair and Amazon stuff, but haven’t pulled the trigger. I really like the foundation of the patio loads if they are light on tables like the one I bid on yesterday. I think I’m going to watch auctions for the next week or so and see if I can sneak one at a lower % of MSRP. I’ve had a really great group of customers in this niche and it’s one I like. I also have to consider we are heading into the fall, though that’s far less relevant here in FL. My ASP is $930 on the patio stuff and I still have a few good pieces to sell. My concern with the Amazon/Wayfair truckloads is it’s going to require a ton more labor for assembly which I do have hep for but part time and obviously at a cost. The flip side though is the stuff will move a lot faster since the average transaction would be around $300 vs $900. I’ll test them out at some point but given the semi seasonality of the patio stuff they make take priority if I find the right one at the right price. So anyway just my ramblings and observations 30 days in. Right now I’m focused mostly on recovery mode of what’s left to make room for what’s next. Happy selling!

Corey J. Gallon (@CoreyGallon) reportedText is the worst way to hand someone a funnel report, and "MCP Apps: Extending the Frontier" is @idosal1 and @liadyosef, co-creators of the MCP Apps spec, on what happens when a server can send its own interface into the chat instead. @aiDotEngineer has the talk on YouTube. The short version: the apps you already use inside ChatGPT, Claude, VS Code and Slack are built on this spec, and the talk walks through how to build one. - The blocker it solves. Companies didn't want to build MCP servers that reduced their product to a textual database and stripped their brand identity. - How UI travels. A tool call links to an MCP resource containing HTML; the host consumes it and renders it in a sandbox through a React or web component from the MCP-UI SDK. - Interaction goes through the host, not the backend. Click favorite in the app and it sends an event up to the host, which decides whether to call the tool. The host keeps control of the flow. - Three levels of control Are standardized: an app can notify the chat, or hand a prompt to it and release responsibility. - App Tools run the other direction. The chat can drive the app, filling out a form on the user's behalf. That's in the spec now. - The lineage. MCP-UI shipped in May last year with ElevenLabs, Shopify, Postman and Goose as early adopters; Anthropic and OpenAI partnered on the official MCP Apps extension, and OpenAI recommends it for building ChatGPT apps. - The web as atoms, not tabs. Planning an anniversary means conveying intent to twenty tabs. The alternative is a Google Calendar chunk and an Amazon chunk composed by an assistant that already has context on you. - Write once, run everywhere. The same codebase renders in LibreChat and in ChatGPT. - What's still open. Reusable views so heavy apps like a 3D renderer don't re-render, plus interoperability with declarative and generative UI standards including a new A2UI guide. - The distribution argument. Sam Altman put ChatGPT at 800 million weekly users; the web took roughly 13 years to reach that. The spec and SDK live in the xtaps repo under the official model context protocol org, and the working group meets every three weeks, open to community proposals. I'm working through the published talks from AI Engineer World's Fair sharing summaries and takeaways. Follow for more!

Borris Manville (@BorrisManville) reportedI discovered some rather unfortunate news this morning. When I took off my house slippers this morning as I was starting my laundry, I found a rather large hole in my favorite pair of socks. Upon checking the other sock - it also had several holes. Sigh. I bought these back in 2022 "Copper Fit" work boot socks. At the time, there were constant commericals for the "healing properties of Copper-Infused socks." I got two pairs for $12 and they have been great, but now I'm down to just one pair. I did order three more pairs this morning on Amazon, and they are supposed to be here on Sunday morning.. But there was a stretch of about 30 seconds where I was nearly inconsolable...

Kubernetes with Naveen 🇮🇳 (@NaveenS16) reportedTeams forget why giants like @netflix & @amazon &built #microservices. It wasn't to write code faster—it was to stop thousands of developers from stepping on each other's toes. Small teams adopting it just inherit the overhead without the problem.

Roland Dunbrack 🏳️🌈 @rolanddunbrack.bsky.social (@RolandDunbrack) reported@maddenifico Except it is a LIE. It's impossible to crash one app's servers. Grindr uses AWS (Amazon Web Services) with 2 east-coast & 2 west-coast hubs. Grindr DMs do not go through a local server where the GOP is meeting. Cell towers can get overwhelmed with 1000s of people on all apps.

HadCon Razard (@HadConRazard) reported@smcroasters This all stems for the media hyping up a couple of bad situations that will happen on most deployments in the name of orange man bad. Particularity on a floating city that is a target, I mean carrier, with 4-5k people you going to have issues and discontented people that can be used by the vultures of yellow journalism to spin a head line and weaponize stories for their own cause and largely at the expense of those who where foolish enough to talk to the media. That being said ******* carriers crybaby with their sunlight, fresh air, amazon delivery, starbucks, and wifi. I've spent month on end in a metal sub filled with dudes who refused to wash their asses and having to breath their recycled farts.

Lorbleno (@lorbleno) reportedJeff Bezos sat down with CNBC in 1999 to announce what looked like Amazon’s next big move. The company was going to sell art, antiques and collectibles online with Sotheby’s, a 255-year-old auction house. Amazon put roughly $45 million into Sotheby’s. It had the customers, Sotheby’s had the reputation, and everyone thought the combination would make online auctions safer and more profitable. The site launched with rare books, fine art, gold recovered from a shipwreck and collectibles worth thousands of dollars. Less than a year later, it was over. The problem was not demand for expensive things. The problem was friction. Customers had to move between two sites, register twice and figure out which company was responsible for what. Amazon and Sotheby’s called it a friendly separation. In business language, that usually means the idea looked better in the boardroom than it did for the customer. The company that would later make buying almost anything feel effortless had to learn that trust and convenience are not separate products. A famous name can bring attention. A big budget can bring traffic. But if the experience gets harder after the customer arrives, neither one saves the business.
