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
우린 텍스트 틱톡을 평생 만들 수 있을까

우린 텍스트 틱톡을 평생 만들 수 있을까

Warning

Over a year old. May be outdated

한 달 전, 인스타그램 공동 창업자 케빈 시스트롬과 마이크 크리거가 아티팩트라는 새 앱을 냈다. 머신 러닝으로 관심사에 맞는 뉴스를 추천해 주는 앱이다. 관심 있는 기사를 탭하면 다음부터 비슷한 게시물과 기사를 띄워 준다는 점에서 텍스트 틱톡이라고 홍보하고 있다. 구글 홈 피드, 페이스북 추천 피드, 애플 뉴스 앱처럼 개인화된 뉴스 피드를 만들려는 시도는 이미 충분히 있었다. 근데 틱톡만큼 매력적이고 중독성 있는 경험을 만든 곳은 아직 없다.

나는 케빈 시스트롬과 마이크 크리거를 엄청 존경하지만, 이번엔 실패라고 본다. 둘은 아마 좋은 글을 찾아 읽기가 갈수록 힘들어진다는 문제를 잡은 것 같다. 근데 이걸 문제로 풀려고 한 것 같은데, 내 생각엔 그냥 텍스트 자체의 문제다. 텍스트를 읽고 곱씹는 건 원래 에너지가 많이 드는 일이다. 동영상 기반인 TikTok만큼 빠져들기가 어렵다.

그래서 이걸 풀려는 시도가 여럿 있었다.

  • 채팅 인터페이스. Hooked 같은 채팅형 소설 서비스는 문자 버블의 모양과 느낌을 빌려서, 짧고 알아듣기 쉬운 메시지로 소설을 풀어 간다.
  • 요약봇. 인공지능과 자연어 처리로 뉴스 기사나 다른 콘텐츠를 요약해 주는 봇이다.
  • . 터치되는 그래프나 스크롤에 반응하는 화면 같은 걸로 기사를 인터랙티브하게 만든다.
  • 일러스트레이션. 일러스트레이터를 쓰거나 생성 AI로 그림을 만든다.
  • ... 아님 그냥 포기하기. 더 매력적인 텍스트를 만들려고 애쓰는 대신, 그냥 숏폼 유튜브나 틱톡 채널을 풀타임으로 굴린다.

지금 아티팩트는 다른 뉴스 앱이랑 근본적으로 다를 게 없다. 요즘엔 인터넷 회사라면 다 알고리즘 추천을 넣는데, 아티팩트도 그 정도다. 예를 들어 챗봇 기반 뉴스 앱처럼 좀 더 획기적인 걸 했어야 했다.

어쩌면 두 창업자가 텍스트의 아름다움을 다시 알리고 싶은 독서광이라서 그랬을지도 모른다. 그 마음엔 나도 동의한다(나도 책 좋아한다). 근데 텍스트라는 개념 자체가 시간이 지나면서 바뀐다는 걸 알아야 한다. 예를 들어 공자 시절의 글은 대부분 난해하고 시적이었고, 해설을 써서 퍼뜨리는 건 비판적 사고를 약하게 만든다는 이유로 엄청 꺼렸다. 그 사람들이 요즘 책을 읽으면 그 디테일과 친절함에 까무러칠 거다.

마찬가지로, 책 한 권을 한 번에 다 못 읽는 요즘의 사실상 문맹 세대가 인간의 지능을 약하게 만든다고 보는 사람도 있다. 나도 사람들 집중력이 짧아지는 게 정말 안타깝지만, 의지로 바꿀 수 없는 역사의 흐름이라고 생각한다. 대신 에서 보듯, 이런 어쩔 수 없는 시대 변화와 같이 살면서 지능을 지키는 방법을 배워야 한다.
