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
은하대백과

은하대백과

《영혼의 어두운 밤》(La noche oscura del alma)은 정체성과 믿음, 체계가 무너지는 깊은 내면의 위기를 가리키는 문학적 장치다. 겉으로 보면 그냥 망가지는 과정 같지만, 실제로는 기존의 자아가 해체되고 새 기준으로 다시 짜이는 과정이다. 원래는 16세기 종교적 맥락에서 나온 표현인데, 요즘은 실존이 무너지고 다시 세워지는 과정을 뜻하는 말로 쓰인다.

  • 밤은 보통 상(위안, 확신, 자기서사)이 사라지는 상태다.
  • 이전에 나를 지탱하던 보상(칭찬, 성취, 관계 역할, 종교적 확신)이 더는 작동하지 않는다.
  • 그 결과 집착, 가면, 자기기만이 드러나고, 가치의 중심이 바뀐다.
  • 회복은 예전으로 복귀가 아니라 새 기준으로 재구축되는 형태로 나타난다.

나는 원래 백과사전을 집필하고 있었으나, 여러 협잡꾼들로 인해서 펜을 놓게 되었다. 그와 비슷한 시기에 나는 소위 심리적으로 방황하는 탕아의 삶을 살게 되었다. 한참을 심리적 집에 돌아오지 못했는데, 그 이유가 집이 없어서인 것을 한참 뒤에 깨달았다. 즉, 광정하기 위해서는 집부터 지어야 한다.

나는 아이작 아시모프의 SF 소설을 좋아하는데, 그 중에서 파운데이션의 설정을 특히 좋아한다. 3-4권부터 급작스럽게 정치 소설로 변모하면서 정주행을 끝내지는 못했지만. 그 중에서 과 은하대백과사전을 제일 좋아한다. 심리역사학은 실제로는 거시사회학에 가까운데, 개인의 행동을 예측할 수는 없지만, 인구가 엄청나게 많다면 인구 집단의 행동을 통계적으로 예측할 수 있다는 것이다. 이를 고안한 수학자 해리 셀던이 심리역사학으로 계산한 결과,

  1. 제국 붕괴는 피할 수 없다.
  2. 붕괴 이후 암흑기가 수만 년 온다.
  3. 하지만 특정 출구 전략을 통하면 암흑기를 천 년 정도로 줄 수 있다.

셀던 플랜

그 출구 전략이 바로 은하대백과사전. 제국 붕괴로 지식이 소실되기 전에, 인류의 지식을 모아 거대한 백과사전을 만드는 것. 즉, 암흑기를 통과하기 위한 수단으로 백과사전이라는 개념이 동원된다. 그리고 백과사전을 편찬하기 위한 임시 대피소가 터미너스 행성이다. 그래서 이 페이지 URL이 터미너스이다.

물론 셀던 플랜은 그보다 더 광활하다. 은하대백과사전은 명목 상 지식을 모아 기록물을 만드는 사업이고 셀던 플랜은 제국 붕괴 이후의 권력, 경제, 기술 흐름을 심리역사학으로 설계해서 문명 재건 경로를 강제로 수렴시키는 장기 전략이다. 즉, 셀던 플랜은 영혼의 어두운 밤을 신질서로의 찬탈로 돌파하는 것이다. 망국의 은하제국, 그리고 운명의 소용돌이 속에서 위기를 기회로. 그래서 굉장히 흔한 Knowledge Ark 소재 중에서도 더 매력적인 소재이다.

그래서 탕아의 생활을 졸업하기 위해서는 은하대백과를 편찬할 수 있어야 한다. 은하대백과가 영혼의 어두운 밤을 끝낼 것이며 새로운 질서의 엔진이 될 것이다.
