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

그러니까, 대충 중학교 때까지는 잘난 맛에 사는 사람이었다.

적당히 똘똘하고 범생이인 성적 좋은 애였으니까.

하지만 여느 사다리가 그렇듯이, 에 진학하면서 나는 별볼일 없는 또래1이 되었다.

그리고 그것이 주는 상실감과 소외감과 괴로움은 겪어보지 못한 사람은 모른다.

훗날 먼 미래에 알게 된 것이었지만... 나를 더 강하게 믿어주지 못한 것에 후회가 된다. 특히나 기숙사 생활 특유의 드센 사람들이 있고, 그들이 나를 무시했어서 한켠으로는 지레 겁먹고 최선의 노력을 다하지 못한 것 같기도 하다. 1984에 나오는 이중사고(Doublethink)를 한 느낌이다. 저 아래 잠재의식 아래로 "나는 중하위권이야"라는 이미지에 나를 그냥 맞춰버리고 자포자기한 상태면서, 동시에 의식 위로는 왜 나는 더 잘하지 못할까에 대한 끊임없는 괴로움을 느낀 것이다. 그러다 나중에 수학의 신으로 이미지메이킹한 학생이 AMC 12에서 84점 밖에 못 맞은 것을 우연히 알게된 뒤 (난 수학의 신은 아니었지만 97.5점 맞았다.) 모든 것이 이미지라는 것을 알게 됐다. 하지만, 아무 것도 할 수 없었다.

여하튼 수출주도형 자존감 경제에서 내수중심형 자존감 경제로의 전환에는 수많은 고통과 역경이 있었다. 를 공부하며 비슷하게 복잡한 감정을 느꼈다.

2016년 5월 31일

그때 써놓은 수많은 글들이 있지만 그 중 하나만 남겨본다. 나 혼자만 사용하는 여러 은어를 풀어서 써본다.

학교 생활에 만족하냐는 질문에 대답할 수 있을지 모르겠다. 시설은 좋다. 신식학교만큼은 아니지만, 상당히 좋다. 일반고등학교에 비해 자유시간도 많고, 독자적인 교육과정이 있기에 오는 장점도 있다. 문제는 이거다: 여기서는 커다란 사회적 보상을 얻을 수 없다. 중학교 때까지는 괜찮았었다. 나는 절대적으로 우수한 편이라고 볼 수는 없었지만 교과 과목은 물론 대인관계 및 결과물을 뽑아내는 능력까지 뒤지지는 않았다. 소프트 스킬이 좋았기에 꽤 영향력을 줄 수 있는 위치가 되었다. 중학교 3학년 여름 때부터는 학교의 중요 결정 사항에 선생님들께서 내 의견을 묻기도 하셨다. 실질적으로 꽤 많은 접근 권한이 있었다. 하지만 고등학교 시작할 때부터 난기류가 너무 심했다. 내가 할 수 있는 것도 없고 내 스스로를 견고하게 믿을 수도 없었다. 나 스스로를 온전히 믿고 노력해보려 했지만, 다시 와서 곰곰이 생각해보면 극심한 난기류를 만나고 있었기에 나 혼자 그렇게 믿고 싶은대로 믿고 있는 것일지도 모른다. 에는 '내미'라는 단어가 있다. '내신에 미친 사람'이라는 뜻이다. 나는 과거 내미였다. 기억을 잘 짚지 못하는 것인지 적응하지 못하는 것인지, '그동안 이렇게 해오면 잘 됐는데... 왜 안되지?'라는 생각이 많이 들었다. 아니면 다른 나의 근본적인 문제를 내 착각으로 눈감고 있는 것일지도 모른다. 사실 부분적으로 이미 늦은 부분도 다분히 있다. 첫 기세에서 완전히 밀렸기 때문에 나는 이미 별 볼일 없는 사람이 되었다. 타성이라는 것은 너무나도 은은하지만 강력하기에 지금 이렇게 자리잡아버린 생활 습관을 완전히 깨뜨리고 재정립하기란 쉽지 않은 일이다. 하루하루 살아가는 것도 힘들고 바쁘고 괴롭기 때문이다. 그래도 한켠으로는 멈추지 말고 계속 나아가야한다...는 생각이 들지만 또 내가 쓰고도 어이없다. 이런 말은 형식적인 말이지 실질적인 도움이나 해결을 전혀 하지 않는다. 사실 그게 내 모습일지도 모른다. 지금 상황이 파악되지는 않지만 형식적인 말로 공포를 덮는 것 같기도 하다. 미래를 돌이켜봤을 때 오늘은 기념일일까? 아니면 추모일일까?
