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.

Might resub Raycast pro just cuz of thisReplied on X@ishuagra02 I saw a theory that F5.2 is a post train of 5.1, but O5.5 is a distillation of F5.5(unreleased new pretrain) and thats why O5.5 > F5.2Liked on X@anaclumos don't know what is actually improved 👀Posted on Xam i the only one underimpressed with 5.2 fableReplied on X@bvvst great minds think alike https://t.co/YRFWhb1mcOLiked on XClaude Fable 5.2 is out and it's the perfect time to run this god-level prompt on your codebase: "I want you to audit our codebase, is anything here unnecessary, overly complicated in our current setup, or based on weak assumptions? 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
WebNPU API를 상상하다

WebNPU API를 상상하다

Warning

Over a year old. May be outdated

WebGPU는 Direct3D 12, Metal, Vulkan 같은 요즘 GPU 기능에 접근해서 렌더링이나 계산 작업을 돌릴 수 있게 해 주는 API다.

WebGL이랑 비슷한데, 훨씬 더 깊은 GPU 기능까지 쓸 수 있다.

근데 이걸 NPU에도 똑같이 할 수 있다면?

그래서 가상의 API, WebNPU를 제안해 본다.

한 줄씩 정리하면 이렇다.

  • WebAssembly는 웹에서 CPU 성능을 온전히 쓰게 해 준다.
  • 는 웹에서 GPU 성능을 온전히 쓰게 해 준다.
  • WebNPU는 웹에서 NPU 성능을 온전히 쓰게 해 준다.

애플의 Neural Engine 덕분에 온디바이스 ML은 이미 시작됐다. 간단한 Siri 명령부터 Stable Diffusion 모델 통째로 돌리는 것까지 별의별 작업을 다 한다. 물론 서버에서 돌리는 대규모 ML보다 성능은 약하다. 근데 레이턴시나 개인정보 보호는 훨씬 낫다. 구글 같은 다른 회사들도 텐서 같은 칩을 만들면서 따라오고 있다. 문제는 지금까지 이 칩들을 네이티브 앱에서만 쓸 수 있다는 거다. 웹에서는 TensorFlow.js처럼 추상화 레벨이 엄청 높은 도구로, 그것도 CPU에서 겨우 돌리는 정도다.

언젠가 AI 네이티브가 (클라우드 네이티브처럼) 표준이 되면, 웹 기술로 NPU에 접근하게 해 달라는 목소리가 점점 커질 거다. 그리고 이건 모두한테 좋은 일인데...

  • 소비자. 전부 로컬에서 빠르고 안전하게 돌아간다. 앞으로는 AI가 서비스 곳곳에 들어갈 텐데, AI 기능 하나 쓰자고 앱을 깔 필요가 없다. 웹사이트에 들어가기만 하면 된다.
  • 개발자. AI 서비스를 내려고 추론 서버를 따로 띄울 필요가 없다. 한 번 만들면 어디서나 돌아가니까(Write Once Run Everywhere) 개발도 단순해진다.
  • 회사. 앞으로 규제 때문에 데이터 모으기는 점점 더 어려워질 거다. WebNPU가 있으면 애초에 모을 필요가 없다. AI 작업을 사용자 기기에서 돌리니까 서버 부하도 줄고, 서비스 확장도 쉬워진다.
  • 하드웨어 회사. AI 작업에 맞춘 전용 하드웨어를 만들어서 기기 제조사나 다른 고객에게 팔 새로운 사업 기회가 생긴다.
  • 정부. AI 작업을 사용자 기기에서 로컬로 돌리면 네트워크로 보내는 데이터 양이 줄고, 그만큼 데이터 유출이나 다른 보안 사고 위험도 줄어든다. 그러면 규제 기관도 데이터가 책임감 있게, 안전하게 처리되도록 챙기기가 쉬워진다.

다만 아직 AI 초기라는 건 알고 가야 한다. 하드웨어 회사마다 접근 방식도 요구 사항도 달라서, NPU를 만드는 표준 같은 게 딱히 없다. 예를 들어 Core ML은 Core ML 모델을 쓰고 텐서플로 라이트는 FlatBuffer 모델을 쓴다. 아무래도 나 USDZ vs glTF 때처럼 애플과 구글의 싸움을 또 보게 될 것 같다.
