@PaulYacoubian The simple truth. Riches is not the default outcome working from 8-midnight every night - though perhaps burnout and family neglect if looking for a way to achieve those.

i know dozens of dudes who locked in for last 5-7yrs who have given up friendships to build shit that no one gives a fuck about 😭

Brian Armstrong explains how he built Coinbase on nights and weekends while working at Airbnb Brian first advises those who are currently employed to not build your project on company hours or on your company laptop: “If you build it on company time or on the company hardware, the company probably owns the IP.” Then he describes his schedule for working on Coinbase while still working full-time at Airbnb. “I would often work [at Airbnb] until 7pm. I’d come home, eat dinner, and then I would work from 8pm to midnight. I would do that maybe 3-4 days a week on weekdays. And then on the weekend I’d work Sunday afternoon for 7-8 hours.” Brian did this consistently for about a year and a half until Coinbase was far enough along for him to get seed funding from Y Combinator. “It sucked. I mean I was tired after the full day of work [at Airbnb]. But this is where determination comes in… At that moment in time, I was in my late 20s, and I was like, ‘I really want to try to build something important in the world.’” When asked how he maintained friendships during this time, Brian replies: “I was pretty intense about it. I would say I sacrificed friendships for it. It’s not like I was just never responding to people, but I’ve seen this happen to various people. They get to a certain point in their life. Sometimes they turn a certain age where they thought they would have more done by then or maybe someone in their family passes away and they’re like, Oh my god, time is finite. It’s precious. And something happens where they’re like, ‘I’m going to get this done, no matter the cost.’” Brian tells those out there who might be in a similar situation: “Go hard at it. Finish your book. Launch your thing. Just start doing stuff - and even if you don’t know what to do, just do anything, because action will produce information and it’ll help you get to the right thing.” Video source: @StevenBartlett (2022)

Keep your primary database (e.g., PostgreSQL for transactions/structured data or MySql/Vitess) as the source of truth + ACID transaction support, then sync data to Elasticsearch via Logstash, custom pipelines, or change data capture for search/analytics. This is what HubSpot does for petabyte-level scale event and analytics data.
Ritesh Roushan@devXritesh

If ElasticSearch is so fast, scalable, and great at search… Why don’t we just use it as our primary database? What are we missing here?

@ZachAbramowitz Same reason why a 5% better or more tailored domain focused model can lead to hundreds of millions in implied or saved $ value

With regards to the $RDDT (Reddit) selloff today... maybe I'm wrong but it feels like the market is overreacting to the company's announcement they will do some light/selective verification if accounts are acting like bots. This is not a site-wide mandate and I'm guessing many/most accounts will never have to do any verification. Lots of people have complained that Reddit has too many bots so now they’re trying to fix that problem. I suspect this decision also makes them a better destination for advertising dollars and make their data/content more valuable to the LLMs when it’s time to renegotiate their data licensing deals.

Just reviewed some $RDDT Q1 alt data and it looks strong... suggests that $RDDT Q1 revs could be above +62% YoY vs +54.7% estimates fwiw, if $RDDT did report +62% Q1 revenue growth or better it would be an acceleration from 2025 Q1 when they reported +61.5% YoY revenue growth Q1 DAU growth also tracking above consensus estimates

@adarsh_exe @cognition Cool video, would benefit from an external audit or authority review for general public acceptance imo (i.e. collection of non-authors adopting this shown at the end of the video) vs. just a toss out of a leaderboard with some percentages.

Traditional coding benchmarks do not reflect how software is actually built and maintained. That's why we built a new benchmark, APEX-SWE, in partnership with @cognition. It measures whether AI models can perform complex, real-world software engineering work to ship systems that work and debug them when they don't. @OpenAI GPT 5.3 Codex (High) tops the leaderboard at 41.5% on Pass@1.

Looks like prices on sealed Pokédex’s are stabilizing around $2,500. Gonna be interesting to watch these over the next few months, lot of nostalgia pages have been posting about them and they’re probably the most iconic vintage Pokemon toy. Undervalued IMO.

If you bought a PSA 10 151 Charizard 2 months ago you’d be up $1500. Instead you bought a Mac Mini, a $200 Claude subscription, and failed to vibecode a business ❤️

@HVACSEO Possible to determine this without calling? Essentially quotes are way over the place,but getting a quote via call is already deep as only want to do 2-3 times max for a nontrivial job.

Private equity has quietly acquired nearly 800 HVAC, plumbing, and electrical companies since 2022. They're spending 10x what you spend on marketing. And they're keeping your competitor's name on the truck after they buy them. Here's what they don't want you to know:

Mind blown: A Chinese quant college student builds an AI swarm engine in 10 days flat, explodes GitHub with 13,000+ stars, and scores $4,000,000 in funding! Introducing MiroFish is the multi-agent simulator that's revolutionizing predictions for trading, PR, and more. What is MiroFish? It's a digital sandbox where thousands of AI agents with individual memories and behaviors interact like a real society. Feed it any scenario (news leak, policy change, or even a classic novel's missing ending), and it simulates crowd reactions, debates, and outcomes to forecast real-world events. The Creator's Story: > In late 2025, fourth-year student Guo Hanjiang coded the core using AI assistants. > It went viral overnight, landing him 30m Yuan (~$4m) from Shanda Group. > He ditched the dorm, started a company, and now leads the charge. Key Applications: .Trading: Input financial news or reports, watch simulated market panics and price swings for predictive insights. .PR Testing: Companies/Politics run draft statements to spot backlash and refine messaging. .Creative Experiments: Loaded a lost-ending Chinese novel, agents role-played characters and generated a logical finale. .Easy setup: Deploy via Docker in minutes with any LLM API key. Pro tip: Simulate something wild like Elon Musk tweeting about Dogecoin 2.0 and spawn agent traders, influencers, and investors, generate real-time video clips of the frenzy to test moonshots or crashes risk-free. Traders are already winning big: Check this one on Polymarket - $120,000+ net profits from spot on SPX 500 bets, powered by MiroFish sims on historical data. His profile: polymarket.com/profile/%40moi… For effortless gains, try Kreo copy trading: Auto-mirror pros like him and ride their edges. Try here: @join" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">kreo.app/@join Add his wallet: [0x17559efac103ac7f361be37ec0b93888d4c55aac] to [t.me/KreoPolyBot?st…] and start track/copy him. Repo: github.com/666ghj/MiroFish

Chinese quant built a simulation of how SPX price reacts to any global event. He’s already made over $100k - with full blockchain proof. He knows exactly where price will go. More than 40 years of SPX trading history have been loaded into MiroFish simulator (18k stars on GitHub) AI analyzed every single moment in that trading history. Now this guy has a fully functional SPX price prediction system. His wallet: @moisturizer?via=cvxv666" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">polymarket.com/@moisturizer?v… Dozens of successful SPX price-prediction trades and hundreds of tests across other stock markets. Here’s exactly what you need to replicate his stack: - market data APIs (SPX price, use Alpha Vantage or Quandl) - data pipeline (use Python) - feature engineering (for output signals like RSI, MACD) - seed dataset for MiroFish (convert data into structured context) - multi-agent simulation (macro strategist, earnings analyst, sentiment analyst agents etc.) - probability forecast (run different scenarios) - trading / decision Model (SPX futures ES, SPY ETF) Save this pipeline if you want to run a similar simulation on your own data. You can feed the whole thing to your Claude and build your first (even small) simulation model together.
