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.

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
심리역사학

심리역사학

Warning

Over a year old. May be outdated

아이작 아시모프의 소설 파운데이션에서 수학자 해리 셀던은, 전지전능한 은하 제국이 곧 30,000년 동안 지속될 암흑기에 돌입하기 직전이라는 사실을 발견한다. 하지만 셀던은 동시에 아주 정밀하게 설계한 인위적 자극이 역사의 궤적을 바꿀 수 있음을 알아차린다. 셀던은 파운데이션이라는 단체를 조직하여 인류의 지식과 문화를 총망라하여 계몽을 향한 새 시대를 이루어갈 수 있도록 준비한다. 셀던 계획의 핵심 개념은 심리역사학인데, 전 인류의 심리를 과학과 수학을 이용해 모델링하면 인류의 미래를 예측할 수 있다는 것이다.

해리 셀던 이전에도 수학자와 과학자들이 심리역사학의 개념을 예측하기는 했지만 인류의 카오스적 행동 패턴 때문에 이를 온전하게 완성하지 못했다. 해리 셀던은 몇 가지 전제 조건을 바탕으로 이 무작위성을 제거할 수 있다는 연구를 완성했다. 그 전제 조건들은 다음과 같다.

  1. 연구할 인구가 크기. 심리역사학을 적용하기 위해선 연구 대상의 크기가 일정 수준을 넘어야 한다. 집단이 크면 클수록 예측이 정확해진다고 본다.
  2. 정보의 제한. 심리역사학은 심리역사학을 알고 있는 대중을 예측하지 못한다. 자기 사회의 미래가 정확하게 예측되고 있다면 사람들은 행동을 바꾸기 때문. 때문에 작중에서도 굉장히 극소수의 지식인들만 심리역사학의 존재를 알고 있고, 심리역사학은 이미 사장되어 실패한 학문처럼 대중들에게 알려져 있다. 마치 연금술처럼.
  3. 동질성. 심리역사학은 사람들이 대체로 비슷해야 한다고 본다. 이는 비슷한 가치관, 비슷한 믿음, 그리고 비슷한 행동 요소를 포함한다. 차기 파운데이션 시리즈에서는 이 동질성을 벗어나는 뮬이라는 독심술사가 나타나 셀던 계획을 파괴한다.
  4. 외세의 부재. 심리역사학은 오직 인류만이 역사의 흐름을 결정한다고 판단한다. 심리역사학은 천재지변이나 외계 생물체의 확률을 계산하지 않는다.
  5. 과학 발전의 속도. 심리역사학은 과학 발전이 역사의 흐름보다 빨라질 경우 특이점이 도래할 수 있어 역사의 예측을 무의미하게 만들 수 있다고 본다.

이 뿐만이 아니라 셀던은 심리역사학의 관측 행위가 관측 대상에 영향을 준다는 사실 또한 알아냈다 (양자물리학의 코펜하겐 효과와 비슷하게). 이를 위해 셀던은 두 개의 분리된 파운데이션을 구축해서 상호 보완될 수 있도록 설계한다. 이는 작중 제2파운데이션이라는 이름으로 등장한다.

심리역사학의 핵심 개념들이 경제학과 사회학에 영향을 준 사실도 흥미롭다. 예를 들어, 2008년 노벨 경제학상을 수상한 폴 크루그먼은 파운데이션 시리즈가 정치경제적 불안정성을 해소하기 위해 경제학이 어떤 역할을 해야하는지 생각하는 것에 큰 영향을 주었다고 밝혔다.

심리역사학은 가상의 학문이지만, 나는 인류가 멸망의 초입부에 도달했으며 끝없는 암흑기를 앞두고 있다는 셀던의 예측이 우리에게도 적용되는 것 같은 은근한 불쾌함을 지울 수 없다. 우리는 이런 암흑기에서 우리의 파운데이션을 건설하기 위해 무엇을 할 수 있을까? ?
