Liked on XI made a mistake. When Jack and I decided to organize this $100K Hackathon, my biggest concern was cheating. Unlike a regular hackathon, everyone participates from home. And because the winner is whoever makes the most PROFIT (not revenue), there are so many ways to manipulate the numbers. So I added a $99 entry fee. One thing I’ve learned from building businesses is that people tend to be more committed when they pay for something. I thought it would filter out spam, attract serious builders, and make the competition fairer for everyone. But I completely missed the other side. 3 years ago, I was a living with my apps. Today, I’m financially free. My life changed so much that somewhere along the way, I lost perspective on what $99 means to someone else. For someone in India, someone struggling to pay their bills, or someone trying to make their first dollar online, $99 can be a lot of money. And those are exactly the people I want to help! I’ve spent years sharing what I’ve learned, reviewing random people’s landing pages, and organizing free meetups around the world. Not because there’s money to make, but because I genuinely love seeing people build things and succeed. And somehow, I was so focused on keeping cheaters out that I didn’t realize I was also keeping genuine builders out. That’s my mistake. So I’ve decided to make the $100K Hackathon completely FREE :) Everyone who already paid got a full refund. I’m still worried about cheating. That problem hasn’t disappeared, and Jack and I will have to figure out better ways to verify profits and keep the leaderboard fair. But that’s our problem to solve. Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts. Sometimes you need people to remind you of things you’ve forgotten. I genuinely hope this hackathon changes someone’s life. ❤️Liked on XIt’s time to bring back Cafe CursorPosted on Xyo @pendev i can't live share edit a .pen file? it's the most needed featurePosted on XI'm coining a word "Agentsplaining" Agents condescendingly assuming the user don't know fuck and repeating the obviousReplied on X@jayhxmo @raycast Hard to explain.

Challenge them. - What can be deleted entirely? - What can be simplified now that unnecessary pieces are gone? Then make the changes. Prefer deleting over simplifying, simplifying over optimizing, and optimizing over automating. This product is being used by thousands of customers, do not cut any corners." This prompt is one I run often and leads to the best results.Replied on X@akshayadinesh19 @bot can we please BYOM for botsLiked on XTo be fair, the Chinese models have a much lower refusal rateLiked on XF*CK IT, im creating a library of AI slop indicators. my feed is full of taste larpers. stay tuned https://t.co/5Muv8nQRm3Liked on XJENSEN! THATS NOT WHAT WE MEANT BY CHINESE MODELS!!!!!!!Liked on Xmy parents had to declare bankruptcy when I was a kid, so they had every reason to pressure me towards a more stable career path instead, they were so patient with me, even as i failed startup after startup for years so getting to tell my mom that everything turned out okay was a really special moment :) for those who can't read Korean, her first message roughly translates to: "Really!!! Congratulations my son. So much :') Thank you God!" i know I've been posting about my exit for like a week now, but it really is a big deal for me and my family! i'll share more about how this all happened and some tactical advice later this week, but for now i'm just riding out all the emotions to quote my mom, thank you God!!!!Liked on X@thefarmers_Dog it stands for Egg GzampleLiked on X🦍 Introducing Memorilla: memory as a modality for LLMs Memorilla turns everything a frozen LLM needs to remember into just 16 memory embeddings ⚡ It uses up to 4,212× fewer tokens and is 27× faster than full context inference while more accurate 🎯 Pushes the Pareto frontier over RAG and agentic memory in personalization, long-document and knowledge QA A thread 🧵:Liked on XThere's a huge product opportunity downstream of Tailscale etc too. At @tldraw we've started designing for "high trust networks" and it's been a beautiful thing. 1. Features that would be a nightmare on the internet are okay on my computer and mostly okay on private networks. Websites that execute user-generated scripts, control production systems, allow for users to send desktop notifications, spend tokens, or directly prompt my agent. Crazy stuff that would only make sense if everyone was in a committed polycule. 2. When everyone on the server can be trusted to have _external_ reasons for good behavior (eg keeping their job, or maintaining friends, family, church, mafia org), the software can be designed in a default social way. Most apps default to isolation, low horizontal visibility, highly restricted collaboration. Makes sense if the social contracts are inside of the app, but if you can trust that they live outside of the app then you can get wild. Example being small group chat names as an emergent comedy phenomenon because anyone in the group can change the name. 3. This can work for commercial products, too, not just internal stuff. Security matters more than ever but the way we've seen that manifest is that more companies are more confident in their own solutions than anything we could provide, to the point where owning data and access is a better value proposition than having it managed. Always has been true for big companies but now even small companies can get a good secure network set up pretty easily, and the hooks we need to build are easy enough. tldraw offline got us started down this road (and shout out to @pendev for first introducing me to the idea of desktop + mcp). We've been bringing that product to private networks and it's been exciting to see how much we can get away with. Keep an eye outReplied on X@saradu birds eye viewLiked on XApplications close in 2 days!! If you have a cool bio idea, and $5-10k will go a long way for you, please apply!!! https://t.co/NCvmrNC53cLiked on XWe've been early adopters of Rust since 2018 and a lot of our infra, voice tech, and even some of the current client is already Rust, the holy grail was getting the whole client there. That means Electron goes away, and so does React Native, mobile keeps native UI but shares app code with desktop via Rust. We hope to get it into testing with users soon™. (And it's not Tauri, it's GPUI, so good guess everyone.) Alright, back to staring at the WoW Forever login screen.Reposted on XOh boy. https://t.co/X7SSskGuGvLiked on XRIP .si domain squatters
르네상스

르네상스

Warning

Over a year old. May be outdated

르네상스는 14세기 이탈리아에서 시작해서 17세기까지 간 시기이다. 예술가랑 학자들이 고대 그리스와 로마의 고전을 다시 파기 시작하면서 문화랑 지식이 크게 되살아났다고들 한다. 인간의 가치와 주체성을 강조하는 휴머니즘도 이때 다시 떠올랐고, 개인주의랑 세속주의 쪽으로 분위기가 넘어갔다. 그래서 예술, 문학, 과학이 다 번성했다. 레오나르도 다빈치랑 미켈란젤로는 제일 유명한 작품들을 이때 만들었고, 셰익스피어랑 세르반테스는 지금까지 읽히는 명작을 남겼다. 그렇다면 르네상스는 어떻게 시작되었을까?

중세 유럽에선 고전 텍스트가 사라져 있었다. 14세기랑 15세기에 들어서야 학자들이 고대 그리스와 로마 문학이랑 철학을 다시 발견하기 시작했고, 고전 세계의 생각이랑 가치에 관심이 확 살아났다. 휴머니즘이 떠오른 것도 그 흐름이랑 같이 간다. 인본주의자들은 개인이 자기 운명을 개척할 힘이 있고, 지적이고 예술적인 일이 종교나 정치만큼 중요하다고 믿었다.

돈이랑 정치도 한몫했다. 피렌체, 베니스, 로마 같은 도시 국가들이 성장하고 번영하던 때라 부유한 후원자들이 예술이랑 문학 작품을 맡기기 시작했고, 예술가랑 작가들이 교회랑 귀족한테서 점점 독립할 수 있게 됐다.

근데 여기서 내가 최애 파트가 나온다. 르네상스는 평화와 번영의 시대에서 탄생한 것이 아니다. 그 대신 흑사병과 정치적 불안정 등 엄청난 고통과 격변의 시기를 겪은 후에 등장했다는 것이다. 완전 .

중세 유럽을 휩쓸며 약 2,500만 명을 죽인 페스트가 흔히 말하는 흑사병이다. 흑사병은 온 유럽에 공포랑 공황을 퍼뜨렸고 경제랑 사회도 크게 뒤흔들었다. 파괴적인 비극이었는데 거꾸로 르네상스의 인문주의 사상을 키우는 데 기여하기도 했다. 휴머니즘의 중요한 사상 중 하나가 인간의 힘과 선택에 대한 믿음인데, 페스트가 창궐하면서 그 믿음이 시험대에 오른 것이다. 병은 치명적이었지만 인본주의자들은 병을 이겨 내고 남을 돕는 개인이랑 공동체를 봤다. 이성과 과학적 탐구를 강조한 것도 그쪽이다. 페스트를 이해하고 물리치려면 딱 그게 필요했으니까.

난 유럽사를 공부할 때마다 이 역사적 사건이 나에게 메시지를 보내온다고 느꼈다.

영적 성장은 도전과 역경에 직면할 때만 이루어진다는 것.

매일매일 살아가는 것은 어렵다.

매일 요구되는 도전과 불확실성을 헤쳐나갈 때, 나는 피렌체와 르네상스의 예술가들을 생각한다.

인간의 가치와 주체성, 이성과 과학적 탐구의 중요성 같은 인본주의적 이상을 받아들이자.

무엇보다 중요한 것은 우리에 대한 믿음 그리고 찬란할 수 있다는 확신.

그 강한 믿음이 결국 역사에서 가장 아름다운 시대를 불러왔다.

역경에 직면했다면 강인하게 창의적으로 이겨내자.

결국 가장 아름다운 미래는 지금의 고통으로 피어난다.
