@cgenco Rock Lobsters must have been pretty excited the first time they found a rock.

@0x6Paths @elonmusk Sure, while the President is selling criminal pardons for a million dollars it’s just the “lefties” who don’t get it.

@theesabina Beautifully made, approachable, easy read, elegant typography. After I finish it I want to give the computer organization course, "From Nand to Tetris" a try. nand2tetris.org

@Matt_Pinner Wow, have we changed so much that people have a hard time believing this? Yes, I grew up like this. We left the house after breakfast and came back for dinner. Roamed everywhere.

@cgenco I thought trans was not the same as ‘does not identify as male or female’. One has transitioned from one gender to another. The other is perfectly happy being neither.

@patio11 Can I sue Money Magazine for that stock they said was going to skyrocket but didn’t? AI advice is in a similar category.

@cgenco Each session using your Norwegian Protocol Workout app takes longer than it took you to write the app.

I just broke my record for fastest time to go from idea to live app: 15:59. So apparently cardiovascular fitness is super important for longevity and overall health and the best way to improve it is with the Norwegian Protocol (4 intervals of 4-minute high intensity cardio with 3-minute active breaks between plus warmup and cooldown). I don't like any of the "Norwegian Protocol" apps on the app store so I decided to vibe code my own. From idea to deployed app anyone in the freakin' world can use took me just under sixteen minutes. It's taking longer to write this tweet and add the meta tags than it took to build the app. What a time to be alive.

@cgenco Years ago I bought a house and had a pool built. It was a lifelong dream to have a pool. Life happened and we moved away a few years later. I calculated it cost me $1,000 per swim.

@waitbutwhy This is why we need to become an interstellar species. Sooner or later (much later) some cosmic drive-by will scour our solar system clean.

We need to discuss gamma-ray bursts. The most insane things in the universe. When the biggest stars die, their core collapses to form a black hole. At the moment the black hole is born, a jet of high-energy radiation can shoot out like a laser, called a gamma-ray burst. Just how powerful is a gamma-ray burst? I’ll tell you in four steps: 1) TSAR BOMBA: In 1961, the Soviet Union blew up the biggest bomb in human history in a test explosion—the Tsar Bomba. It exploded with the equivalent force of 50 megatons of TNT—more than 3,000 times the explosive force of the Hiroshima bomb. 2) SUN: The sun releases the equivalent of 91 quadrillion tons of TNT—more than a billion Tsar Bombas—every second. 3) SUPERNOVA: Giant stars die in the ultimate blaze of glory: the supernova. The biggest supernovae explode with the equivalent of 40 decillion (4 x 10^34) tons of TNT. That’s more than the amount of energy released by the sun in its entire 10-billion-year lifetime. 4) GAMMA-RAY BURST: The largest gamma-ray burst ever detected was observed in October of 2022. In a span of about ten minutes, it released the equivalent energy of 10,000 supernova—more than 10,000 times the energy the sun will release in its lifetime. In ten minutes. Don’t fuck with gamma-ray bursts.

Uhhhhh how do I do this
@levelsio@levelsio

fly.pieter.com has now gone from $0 to $1 million ARR in just 17 days! 💸 Revenue update: $87,000 MRR (which is $1M ARR) My first project ever to go up this fast 🤯 Only 3 ads left now: buy.stripe.com/00g5lueHfbdifB… 📊 Stats update: 320,000 people have now flown in the game Whether the MRR is truly sustainable for a year we can only guess, but they ARE subscriptions and they do renew so as long as the game keeps improving it might happen? 🛸 Since I kept getting hacked by UFO invaders, I decide to sell the UFOs, and coincidentally new sponsor @basecamp wanted an UFO as the origin of 37 Signals (their original company name) comes from the 37 radio signals detected from space to detect extraterrestrial life, so I built them a custom UFO with their original snow globe logo on top which you can see flying around below And I have one new sponsor that sells Ozempic so got the text on the blimp "are you as big as a blimp? lose weight at medvi.org" 😂 I was ski'ing today so was AFK mostly but I did: ✅ Fix more XSS issues, which to be fair unless you explicitly ask it to find every single XSS loophole, AI doesn't really care about when it writes code, so you really gotta ask it to extra check your code cause honestly it can be full of security holes One unlucky (or lucky) thing is that this project took off completely unpredicted and it happened just when I was on travel with gf to France and Switzerland. I didn't wanna lock myself up in a room all day computering so I actually spend most of the days just doing fun stuff with her (as I should) and then in the evening when I got an hour (like now), scrambling and quickly getting things done That would never be possible if I coded it without AI though, it would simply take too much time. Without AI it would have taken me 10-100x more time and I would have simply not been able to build this and maintain it at the same speed AI really is a creativity and speed maximizer for me, making me just way more creative and more fast I still mostly use @cursor_ai + @AnthropicAI Claude 3.5 and trying 3.7 too now! I'm excited to get more time in the next few days so I can really add some new things, one thing I want is to put a big 3d leaderboard INSIDE the game with the scores on it for example
