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
본디는 사실 혜성이 아니다

본디는 사실 혜성이 아니다

Warning

Over a year old. May be outdated

어제 글에서 본디에 대해서 알아보았다. 하지만 본디는 정말 혜성일까?

위험

이 글은 본디와 과거 중국 내 서비스 Zheli의 연관성을 조사하고

Zheli에 관해 발생했던 개인정보 침해 의혹을 재조명합니다.

하지만 본디는 아직 어떠한 개인정보 침해사례 및 운영상 보안 문제가 발생하지 않았고,

단순히 몇 가지 연결고리와 정황을 가지고 본디에 대한 결론을 내릴 수 없습니다.

이 글은 본디 서비스에 대한 의혹 제기가 아닙니다.

글을 읽으시는 분들께서도 이 부분을 명심하시고 읽어주시기 바랍니다.

본디를 운영하는 메타드림은 2022년 9월에 설립되었다. 본디는 2023년 1월 7일에 놀라운 퀄리티로 출시되었다. 그리고 곧 아시아를 돌풍처럼 휩쓸었다. 설립된지 3달 된 스타트업 치고는 역사적인 돌풍이다. 무언가 이상하리만치 잘 준비되어있다.

메타드림 뒤에는 누가 있는걸까?

메타드림은 싱가포르 기반의 회사다 보니 싱가포르 금융당국의 서류에서 답을 알 수 있었다. 예상대로 이사 중 한 명으로 중국인 Yang Yuxiang이 등재되어 있는데, 이 분은 2022년 5월 중국의 기업 True.ly를 인수한 분이다. 그리고 True.ly는 Zheli라는 중국 내 서비스를 운영했다. Zheli(Jelly, 또는 这里 "여기"라는 뜻)는 한때 중국 내에서 선풍적인 인기를 끌었던 앱이고, 이는 본디와 놀랄 정도로 유사하다.

Zheli가 마주했던 의혹들

Zheli는 2022년 중국 내에서, 특히나 Z세대에게 가장 유명했던 앱이다. 출시된지 한 달도 되지 않아 190만 다운로드를 돌파하며 잠시나마 위챗을 누르기도 했다.

하지만 Zheli는 곧 여러 문제를 맞이했다.

Zheli가 디자인을 표절했는지 의혹을 제기한 포스트. 출처

Zheli의 소유 회사인 베이징 이디안슈오 엔터테인먼트 테크놀로지는 곧 2022년 2월 11일에 일체의 의혹을 부인하는 성명을 발표했다.

Weibo 원본.

요약:

Zheli 앱은 최근 WeChat ID와 QQ 번호 같은 사용자 개인 정보를 무단으로 썼다는 혐의를 받았다. 사용자들 사이에 우려가 커지고 여러 플랫폼으로 번졌다. 근데 조사 결과 그 주장은 거짓이었고, 경쟁사들의 조직적이고 계획적인 명예 훼손 시도 중 하나였다. Zheli를 운영하는 베이징 이디안슈오 엔터테인먼트 테크놀로지는 관련 법과 규정을 다 지켰고 그 개인 정보를 쓴 적도 없다. 회사 측은 증거를 모아 경찰에 신고했고 법적 대응할 권리도 유보했다.

그러나 개발자들은 곧 "사용자 경험을 개선하기 위해" 앱을 삭제했고, 온라인에서 "고의적인 루머와 거짓 정보"가 확산되는 등 "지속적이고 조직적인 공격"에 직면했다고 덧붙였다. 의혹이 제기되었던 데이터 유출이나 개인 정보 보호 문제에 대해서는 부인했다.

2022년 2월 13일 Zheli가 삭제되다.

Weibo 원본.

요약:

Zheli는 나와서 계속 조직적인 공격을 받고 있는 새 앱이다. 루머가 퍼지고 여러 플랫폼에 부정적인 리뷰가 올라오고 있다. 회사는 명성을 지키려고 법적 조치를 했다. 근데 앱에 멈춤, 충돌, 지연 같은 기술적인 문제도 있고 아직 안 고쳐졌다. 사용자 경험을 개선하려고 대규모 시스템 업그레이드를 하기로 해서 앱스토어에서 앱을 내리고 기존 문제를 고치는 데 집중하기로 했다. 회사는 질문이랑 제안 채널이랑 공식 웨이보 계정으로 사용자들 얘기를 듣고 싶어 한다.

하지만 본디는 괜찮죠?

약간의 조심성을 가질 필요는 있다. 한 사용자가 본디에 가입한 후 자신의 신용카드가 도용되었다는 의혹을 제기했기 때문이다.
