haha love this

@thdxr @kcosr @dillon_mulroy That was very fast...at the scale of opencode, doesn't someone else need to review the pr or something?

@kcosr @dillon_mulroy i actually thought we supported omitting the `description` field on skills fixing that - if you omit the agent won't know anything about it this should probably be in the skills spec instead of it being required github.com/anomalyco/open…

i think skills are a mistake and the wrong abstraction. i almost never want my agent auto invoking them and i have built custom tooling to "toggle" them on/off to prevent them from always being present in my context window.

Who's the rando twitch guy?

@DevSazzadur If I have to play, youtube def won't be the first choice 🙃

@abbashali01 I guess to play 😂

Youtube has games now? whyy?

Let me explain what just happened today because it deserves so much recognition. GalaxEye is a Bengaluru startup founded in 2021 by IIT Madras engineers. Today they launched Mission Drishti on a SpaceX Falcon 9. It is India's largest privately built satellite at 190 kg. And it carries a technology that no commercial satellite has ever carried before. Normal satellites take photos of the Earth using optical cameras. Like your phone camera, but from 500 km up. The problem is obvious. Clouds. Night. Fog. Smoke. If any of these are in the way, the photo is useless. India has monsoon cover for 4 months a year. That is 4 months where optical satellites are partially or fully blind over large parts of the country. The alternative is SAR. Synthetic Aperture Radar. Instead of taking photos with light, it sends radar waves down and reads what bounces back. Radar goes through clouds, through darkness, through smoke. A SAR satellite can image a flooded village at 2 AM during a cyclone when no optical satellite can see anything. The problem with SAR is that the images look nothing like photos. They look like grainy black-and-white radar maps. A military analyst or a trained geospatial engineer can read them. A farmer, a disaster response team, or a city planner cannot. Until today, if you wanted both optical and SAR data for the same location, you needed two different satellites, passing over at different times, at different angles. Then someone had to manually align and fuse the two datasets. Expensive, slow, and the data never perfectly matched because the satellites saw the same spot minutes or hours apart. GalaxEye put both sensors on one satellite. Optical and SAR, fused into what they call OptoSAR. Three times more information than a single sensor. Processed onboard by an NVIDIA AI chip at 1.8 metre resolution. Now in practice, during the next cyclone hitting Odisha, one satellite pass gives you a clear image of which villages are flooded, which roads are cut, and which buildings are standing. Day or night. Cloud or clear. In near real-time. For defence, it means you can monitor a border area 24/7 regardless of weather. For agriculture, it means tracking crop health across an entire monsoon season without a single cloud gap. For infrastructure, it means monitoring construction progress on highways and bridges without waiting for a clear day. GalaxEye tested their SAR tech on ISRO's POEM orbital platform. The satellite was tested at ISRO facilities. IN-SPACe provided regulatory clearance. NSIL, ISRO's commercial arm, will distribute the imagery globally. And it launched on SpaceX because ISRO's PSLV doesn't have the right orbit slot for this mission. Yes, four IIT Madras graduates built a world-first satellite in 4 years in Bengaluru. Take a bow!

Okay why is my timeline all about politics? I never engage with these. I just want the tech tweets yelling at me how I am behind the AI race

@DevSazzadur Haha yeah😆

@abbashali01 and if you click the skip command button just so the model knows we want to use a different package manager... then it will try to create the functionality from scratch. this is so annoying

why are all the models so biased towards npm. They can't seem to comprehend that i might not use npm in my project. And it's not even that hard to figure out, just take a look at the lock file, but no let me add another package using npm

We have lost Github Copilot too now 😭

looking into integrating whatsapp to a custom system. Its hella confusing out there. At last I have picked out two potential api-layer -> evolution API or open-bsp-api. I think i might go with evolution-api due to its rich ecosystem

Codex is crazy

@levelsio But kids barely pay for things though. Well maybe games

Young people (20s) barely use websites, 70% prefer apps, they mostly exist inside apps and games not websites

@acadictive Was going through the articles. Seems legit good articles

I felt a pain in X and built a solution. There are many great long-form articles on X, but they get buried fast and become hard to find. So I made xreads.info: a FREE curated library of high-signal reads. My way of giving back and helping people learn faster.

@FlorinPop17 Yeah I guess that makes sense. Thanks

@abbashali01 Overthinking. Just post it. It's not about getting views or likes or comments, it's about YOU getting better at making videos. The others will follow once you get better at it. Just put in the reps!

If you haven't started making videos yet, you should! My goal is to help people do it more easily.

@jayvaidya30 Mine's the opp. I see people achieving insane things and it pushes me to work more

I work a lot cause I see people doing nothing with their life. It pushes me to do more. The competition is way low, just make sure you take the advantage of that

@aShubhamz I hated biology so had to switch to compute science

What inspired you to get into tech?

been trying to create the free server from Oracle for an hour now and it's been showing 'not available' constantly. Was thinking of trying out ai agent on the server

@gregisenberg Yeah very interesting times ahead. I bet only AI agents can save us from AI agent spams
