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
개성은 쟁취하는 것

개성은 쟁취하는 것

Warning

Over a year old. May be outdated

대한민국에는 독립적인 자아가 부족하다 -- 14誠鉉이 중학교 암기 과목을 공부하며 한 생각입니다.

당시 시험 문제는 개념마다 키-밸류 형태로 O(1)O(1)에 답이 나올 수 있도록 암기하는 해시맵 형태였습니다.

구태여 암기를 해야만 평생 머리에 남고 그게 언젠가 미래에 쓰이겠지 -- 라고 의미 부여를 하기도 했지만

14誠鉉은 그럼에도 도대체 이 과정이 왜 필요한 것인지 당최 이해할 수 없었습니다.

그러던 어느날 14誠鉉은 다음과 같은 생각을 하게 됩니다.

개성, 창의성, 그리고 꿈을 격리하고 보존해야 한다.

그리고 최대한 빨리 이 입시의 무한궤도에서 탈출할 길을 찾아야 한다.

개성, 창의성, 그리고 꿈은 개인의 자아에 있어서 가장 중요한 3요소입니다.

이 세 가지를 규정하기까지 어느 정도 시간이 좀 걸렸습니다.

이 중에서도 꿈은 자기가 자기에게 지우는 유리천장이라고 생각합니다.

그렇다고 창대한 꿈이 없으면 안된다는 식의 지루한 꼰대의 이야기는 아닙니다.

가치 비중이 다른 것 뿐이니까요.

삭막한 세상에서 자신의 행복과 주변인의 행복만 잘 챙기고 사는 것도 충분히 창대합니다.

그것마저 창대해진... 그런 세상이 돼버렸습니다.

오늘은 이 중에서 첫번째, 개성에 관한 이야기입니다.

어디론가 가려면 내가 어디서 출발하는지 알아야 합니다.

이 개성에는 취향의 영역이 상당한 부분을 차지합니다.

결국에는 우리 모두는 자신이 좋아하는 것이 되어가니까요.

저는 개성이 없으면 나라는 메타포는 죽은 것이나 마찬가지라는 생존의 문제로 받아들였습니다.

일단 제가 누구인지, 어떤 사람인지는 어느 정도 중심을 잡은 것 같습니다.

하지만 이제는 정보의 존재보다 실체의 발현이 중요한 세상입니다.

수많은 데이터 중 정보만이 중요한 세상입니다.

즉 나라는 개성이 어딘가 실질적으로 접근 가능한 물(•)리(•)적(•)인(•) 무(•)언(•)가(•)로 치환되었으면 좋겠다 -- 그런 생각을 했습니다.

살다보면 주변에 아무런 저항 없이 휩쓸리기 참 쉽습니다.

남들이 하니까 하고,

남들이 보니까 보고,

남들이 해야한다니까 한다!

이는 생각보다 더 자주 우리 주변에 나타납니다.

하지만 깊게 생각해보면 왜? 라는 질문에는 답하지 못합니다.

그 답을 찾으려면 나다움 을 알아야 합니다.

불행히도 나다움 이란 한여름 바람 흐르는 소리보다도 작고 미약합니다.

또한 사소한 것들이 집합이기에 포착하기도 어렵습니다.

그래서 우리는 다음의 문장을 길이길이 가슴 속에 되뇌이며 살아야 합니다.

개성은 자연스레 주어지지 않는다

개성이란 자연스럽게 주어지는 것이 아닙니다.

끊임없이 알아보고 기록하고 연구해야만 나 이거 좋아하네? 하면서 알게 되는 것입니다.

저는 언젠가부터 제 개성에 마음껏 투자하기로 결정했습니다.

제가 무언가를 좋아할 때 아무런 부끄럼 없이 강렬하게 표출하기로 마음 먹었습니다.

예를 들어, 저는 여러분들께 시도때도 없이 케이팝 영상을 보내곤 합니다.

거기에 각종 찬미를 덧붙이곤 합니다.

이런 강렬한 표출은 일부러 그렇게 하기 시작한 것입니다.

"이렇게라도 남들에게 뭘 좋아하는지 잔뜩 얘기하다보면 내가 뭘 좋아하는지 알게 되지 않겠나..."

하는 생각이었습니다.

갈 길이 아직 멀지만 여러분 사이에서 컨셉 확실하다는 소리는 들었으니 어느 정도 성공했다 느낍니다.

그래서 제가 가장 듣기 좋아하는 말도 「이건 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ」 이라는 말이었습니다.

로마는 하루아침에 이루어지지 않았습니다.

서울도 하루아침에 이루어지지 않았습니다.

여러분의 창대하고 찬란한 문화도 그저 공책 그저 한 구석의 끄적임에서 발현되기 마련입니다.

그것을 어떻게 포착하고 어떻게 육성할지는 여러분의 몫입니다.
