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. It's the small detailsPosted on X@raycast iOS keyboard is insanely good. 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

서비스 시밍

Warning

Over a year old. May be outdated

Shim은 컴퓨터 프로그래밍에서 요청을 가로채서 변조해서 되돌려주는 기법을 뜻한다. 매끄러운 Shim은 알아차리지 못한다. 나는 치킨집에 전화를 했지만, 미션 임파서블 영화 같이, 사실 그 사이에서 스파이가 그 전화를 가로채서 대신 치킨을 요리해서 배달까지 대행해준 것이다.

사람들은 서비스의 구현에 관심이 없다. 내가 현금을 뽑는다면 돈이 뽑히는게 중요하지 진짜 ATM인지, 터미네이터인지, 뒤에 사람이 숨어서 하나하나 세주는 것인지는 알 바가 아니다. 중요한 것은 서비스가 돌아가고 있다는 눈속임을 잘 주는 것이다. 그렇다면 엔지니어링은 생각보다 중요하지 않을지 모른다. 그보다 더 중요한 것은 시장까지의 시간(Time-to-market)이다. 이런 사례는 기업의 운영에 있어서 꽤 흔하다.

  • 네이버는 뉴스 자동화 시스템을 만들지 못해 온갖 언론사를 일일이 찾아가며 뉴스를 배포할 권한을 받아왔다.
  • 배달의민족도 주문 시스템을 완성하지 못해 앱으로 배달이 들어오면 배민 팀에서 사장님께 직접 전화를 드렸다.
  • 도 송금 시스템을 완성하지 못해 하루에 3번 이승건이 직접 은행에 가서 송금 업무를 대행했다.
  • 에디슨도 전구를 만들었다고 공개적으로 얘기했을 때부터 실제로 전구를 완성하기까지 4년 이상의 시간이 지났다.
  • 아이폰의 첫 발표 때도 기능을 결합하지 못해 전화용 아이폰, 음악용 아이폰, 지도용 아이폰이 따로 있었다. 그리고 설계된 순서로 아이폰을 바꿔치기하며 마치 하나의 아이폰에서 모두 작동하는 것처럼 속였다.
  • 테슬라도 비슷하다. 일론은 항상 과감한 데드라인을 정해놓지만 그 데드라인을 잘 지킨 적이 있던가?

다만 흥미로운 관찰은 Bad Blood로 유명한 테라노스 또한 같은 흐름이었다는 것이다. 테라노스는 피 한 방울로 모든 건강검진을이라는 모토 아래 사업을 확장했지만 실제로 기계는 동작하지 않았으며 모든 검진은 실험실에서 수십가지 기계로 대행하고 있었다. 하지만 결국 그것이 거짓이었다는 것이 드러났고, 테라노스는 몰락했다. 만약 테라노스에게 시간이 조금 더 주어져 실제로 서비스를 구현했다면 역사는 어떻게 변했을까? 에디슨은 4년이 걸렸지만, 20세기의 4년과 21세기의 4년은 속도가 다르다는 것 또한 인지해야 한다.

Fake it until you make it은 어디까지 납득 가능한가?
