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
Project Starfinder

Project Starfinder

Warning

Over a year old. May be outdated

요약

  • 브랜드 마케터가 캠페인 설명에 딱 맞는 인스타그램, 틱톡 크리에이터를 빨리 찾게 해 주는 서비스
  • OpenAI 임베딩에 직접 고른 크리에이터 그래프를 붙여서, 자연어로 적은 설명을 몇 초 만에 믿을 만한 추천으로 바꿔 준다

왜 지금

  • 크리에이터 마케팅은 커지는데, 아직도 많은 팀이 스프레드시트, 에이전시 주소록, 키워드 디렉터리에 기대고 있다
  • 그래서 찾는 데 오래 걸리고, 막 뜨는 마이크로 크리에이터를 놓치고, 커뮤니티 분위기랑 안 맞는 캠페인이 나온다
  • Project Starfinder는 웰니스, 피트니스, 뷰티, 여행 같은 라이프스타일 카테고리에 집중한다

뭐가 문제인가

  • 캠페인 브리프를 실제 크리에이터 리스트로 바꾸는 데 몇 주가 걸린다
  • 기존 DB는 팔로워 수만 보느라, 브랜드 보이스나 청중이 원하는 것과 결이 맞는지를 놓친다
  • 사람이 손으로 확인해서는 정보를 최신으로 유지하기 어렵고, 프로필 데이터는 금방 낡는다

어떻게 푸나

  • 마케터가 어떤 크리에이터가 이상적인지 그냥 말로 적는다
  • AI가 인스타그램, 틱톡 프로필을 코사인 유사도로 줄 세운다
  • 결과에는 팔로워 맥락이 붙고, 프로필 링크로 바로 연락할 수 있다

기술 & 인프라

영역스택
프레임워크Next.js 16(App Router), Bun, Next-Faster Optimizations
인증, 웨이트리스트Clerk
데이터 레이어Drizzle ORM + Neon 서버리스 PlanetScale Postgres + PGVector
AI 플랫폼OpenAI Embeddings(기본 text-embedding-3-small), 실패하면 키워드 검색으로 폴백
Image/Video Hostings R2 with MPEG Streaming (metadata at the front of the file)

경쟁 서비스랑 뭐가 다른가

  • 키워드 디렉터리와 달리 임베딩으로 의미가 맞는지를 본다
  • pgvector 덕분에 카탈로그가 커져도 느려지지 않는다
  • 임베딩에 문제가 생기면 키워드 검색으로 돌아가니까, AI만 쓰는 서비스보다 덜 위험하다

리스크와 의존성

  • OpenAI, Clerk, Neon이 살아 있는지, 얼마를 받는지가 제일 중요하다. 폴백과 서버리스 추상화로 한 군데가 죽어도 버티게 한다
  • 인스타그램, 틱톡 정책을 지키고, 계속 모니터링해서 데이터를 최신으로, 규정에 맞게 유지한다
  • 임베딩은 캐시해 두고, 문제가 생기면 키워드 검색으로 성능은 좀 떨어져도 기능은 계속 돌아가게 한다
