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

Over a year old. May be outdated

다가올 근미래를 다시 해석해 보려고 가상의 장르다. 그냥 하나의 상상이기도 하고.

메트로펑크는 2020~2040년대, 도시화가 극단까지 간 환경에서 사는 개인이 부딪히는 문제를 다룬다. 출산율 급감, 정치적 급진화, 계층 갈등 같은 것들이다.

기술은 근미래 수준까지만 나온다. 초보적인 AI, 엄청 발달한 스마트폰 시장 정도. 사이버펑크에 나오는 상용 인공지능, 핵융합, 사이버네틱스, 같은 건 안 나온다. 대신 도쿄나 서울 같은 아시아 대도시를 떠올리게 하는 첨단 지하철이 자주 나온다.

그 밖에 단골로 나오는 것들은 이렇다.

  • 치솟는 임대료와 부동산 가격
  • 최저임금이 너무 올라서 시작된 반복 노동 자동화, 그리고 그 때문에 무너지는 사회적 약자
  • 점점 세지는 정치적 급진주의
  • 일상이 된 시위와 폭동

이런 변화 속에서 국가와 도시의 연금, 은퇴 기금 고갈, 경제 붕괴, , 부패한 정치인, 무력한 개인 같은 이야기가 자주 나온다.

생김새는 지금 도시 그대로다. 붐비는 거리, 압도적인 고층 빌딩, 여러 문화가 뒤섞인 모습. 거리 예술이나 도시 사람들이 겪는 거친 현실도 자주 나오는데, 덕분에 이야기가 꽤 실감 난다.

주인공은 결국 한 사람이다. 인구가 미어터지는 도시에서 경제난, 사회 불안, 복잡한 정치 갈등에 깔려 겨우 버티는 사람. 파고드는 건 정체성이랑 외로움이고, 수많은 사람한테 둘러싸여 있는데도 혼자라는 느낌이다.

과잉 발달한 도시의 디스토피아는 사회와 개인에게 어떤 영향을 줄까.

메트로펑크의 차세대 강기업

이런 세상이라면 이런 이 나올 것 같다.

  • 도시 인프라 개발. 지속 가능한 고밀도 주거 공간, 그리고 첨단 지하철 네트워크나 수직 정원 같은 교통 시스템을 설계하고 짓는 전문 기업. 수요가 엄청 많을 거다.
  • 재생 에너지. 인구도 늘고 에너지도 더 쓰게 되니까, 태양열, 풍력, 지열 같은 재생 에너지에 집중하는 기업.
  • 폐기물 관리 및 재활용. 쓰레기를 에너지나 다시 쓸 수 있는 재료, 심지어 음식으로 바꾸는 식으로 폐기물 관리와 재활용의 새로운 방법을 만드는 기업.
  • 식량 생산. 버티컬 농장, 실험실 배양육, 그 밖의 대체 식품 생산 방법을 개척하는 기업.
  • 정신 건강. 사회 불안, 경제난, 고립감이 갈수록 커지니까 정신 건강과 웰빙 서비스를 하는 기업.
  • 보안 및 감시. 정치적 급진화와 사회 불안이 일상인 세상이라, 첨단 보안과 감시 시스템을 만드는 기업은 질서와 안전을 지키는 데 꼭 필요하다.
  • 긱 이코노미 플랫폼. 전통적인 일자리가 줄어드니까, 개인을 유연한 단기 일감에 연결해 주는 긱 이코노미 플랫폼이 점점 더 중요해질 거다.
