Just released frfr—lightweight runtime type validation for Python.
One function. Zero dependencies. 57KB installed. Validates your dataclasses, TypedDicts, and NamedTuples directly.
That's the whole API. Here's why this exists:

When I was younger I assumed everyone wanted everything to be more efficient. That iteration and improvement was something all people could get behind. As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized this is not the case and my mistake was a core error in my mental model of the world and its institutions. Improvement has to be fought for. Status quo is by far the most popular position.

Micro-optimizations in social media are so wrong.
It’s taking the emphasis off of storytelling and more on attention hacking. I love YouTube because it’s harder to apply that kind of trickery into long-form content. A good story is captivating, most people on social media are using the little tricks because they’re pumping out content so fast and creating something captivating takes a lot of time and effort.
There are definitely a lot of other factors at play there (e.g. YouTube viewers are coming purely to watch long form content / are already committed. Tiktok viewers don’t have the same mentality so you have to hyper-optimize for the first 1 second to grab attention and hang on to it).

honestly it feels like meta has been the only one willing to gamble and ship something not completely perfect but they're willing to bet on. i'll take this over apple releasing the same iphone for the last 4 years

@danshipper @every @usemonologue @bentossell @nateliason @julien_c whats the difference between this and wispr for mac? sounds pretty similar

🚨 BREAKING
A new AI app by @every launches today: Monologue
@usemonologue is a smart voice dictation app for Mac that lets you work 3x faster without breaking flow.
It’s already being used by people like @bentossell, @nateliason, and @julien_c to write over 1 million words a week.
Most voice dictation apps flatten your voice. Monologue is different. It understands your vocabulary, your apps, and your style, so nothing gets lost in translation.
What you get:
- Smart formatting: Text comes out polished and structured for the app you’re in—no cleanup needed.
- Personal dictionary: Proper nouns, acronyms, and slang are remembered automatically.
- Deep context: With permission, Monologue sees your screen so it knows what you’re referencing.
- Multilingual by default: Dictate in 100-plus languages and switch between them effortlessly.
- Flexible modes: Use prebuilt workflows (email, docs, notes, code) or design your own.
- Local models: Use Monologue without sending your information to the cloud.
We want @every to be the only subscription you need to stay at the edge of AI.
That's why Monologue is available now for free for @every paid subscribers along with @coracomputer, @sparkleapp, and @tryspiral—all for just $30 / month.
Or you can use Monologue standalone for just $10 / month if you sign up during our early bird period.

Does anyone have prioritization methods that actually work?
I feel like all I see are bloated frameworks that require a lot of estimation that don’t scale super well if you’re considering more than 3 projects at a time

@MKBHD I found my soundcloud covers from when i was 15 years old and have never cringed so hard. No desire to make music, definitely have not gotten better😂
English
If you’re cringing at your old work, it means you’re getting better
English
This but for your beliefs and opinions. So many people just living with the same opinions with no defense other than “that’s just what i’ve always thought”.
Ok great but why do you think that😂

Underrated life advice: You can reinvent yourself as many times as you need. New habits. New standards. New people. New career. You’re never stuck. You’re allowed to change. Today, tomorrow, and as many times as it takes to create the life you want.

First 10% of building something is hard bc we’re often lazy and putting stuff off, last 20% is hard because you actually need to ship and sell.
The reality of the world is most projects will not get traction via word of mouth, you need to go get some eyeballs on the thing any way you can

Someone with a worse product than you, who knows less than you, is making more than you, because they aren't afraid to sell.

@MBrand58224 @Austen Thank you for doing the math I am completely unwilling to do hahaha
English
@Andygravs @Austen Someone commented here that 1CM descent by a 70kg person has 7joul potential, and that one of the manufacturers claims 5joules per step.
Assuming a 60bpm cadence that’s 5watts
Not a ton of energy but a sinking floor will annoy for sure

How much energy could that possibly produce?
Science girl@sciencegirl
Japan is using piezoelectric floor tiles in busy areas like Shibuya and Tokyo Stations to convert footsteps into clean electricity

Not sure about everything else in this post but i’m a huge proponent of “completely silent” working. I really think any music at all is too distracting for you to be 100% focused. Brown noise or meditation sounds are also ok but best case is just earplugs

Your highest genius state for deep focus & intellectual flow will be achieved in this way: - No Coffee. At all. - No Food. At all. (Minimum 3 days) - No Music. At all (Not even classical) - No Opinions from irredeemables and those with low quality thoughts. Their thoughts profane the purity of your intellect. - No audiobooks, no noise. Wear earplugs. - No gym; just kettlebells. - No Alarm clock; sleep and wake up naturally. - No Sex. Ejaculation diminishes astral flame. - No Phone; no social media. - No Movies/TV - No Conversations, no news, no gossip. Green tea throughout the day for consistent energy release without crash. You do not need extra supplements or drugs. I have tried them all - this is better. Absolute confidence in your God-given body. - Study lamp and timer for 99 minute intervals. - Whiteboard for cognitive maps and thought streams. - Plain white paper, smooth writing pen (ballpoint German Hauser, black ink) Few people will ever discipline themselves to do this, and petty excuses will always be made. Ignore them, it is always cope. The language is mediocrity and gibberish. They will live their entire lives without experiencing genius state. You can do 12-15+ hour focused days with this within 1 week. You have no idea what your mind is capable of.

@Codie_Sanchez Planning addiction is real. Same reason people read endless self-help / productivity hacking books. It deceives you into thinking you’re making progress but you’re not
English
You don't need more goals, you need a system to follow through on the ones you have set.

@yasser_elsaid_ The low barrier to entry rn is also whats pushing the bubble of “agentic software” that doesn’t actually add any value. Recent gartner report was interesting, legit useful AI software was rare
English
It’s so easy to become an expert in AI engineering if you’re technical. Shouldn’t take longer than a month.
It’s one of the highest ROI skills in the world rn and it looks intimidating from the outside so it’s scaring off your competition, which is perfect.
It’s actually a massive opportunity.
Learn the basics, ship a few projects, and you’ll suddenly be in the top 1% of people who can build real AI products.

@signulll I think the first 10% and last 20% are the hardest. First 10 you’re overcoming laziness / social fears to just start the thing and last 20 you have to actually close it out. Last part is also hard bc a lot of people lack experience defining / knowing what “done” really looks like
English
the reason why people abandon so many “almost done” things is because the last 20% of anything is friction, detail, & accountability.
that last 20% of the work doesn’t feel like 20% at all, it feels like the whole damn thing & then some.
this is especially true in an ai era where you can go from zero to something so quickly.
English
Find the uncertain, anxiety-inducing parts of any experience.
Then give people visibility, progress bars, clear next steps - anything that makes them feel like they're steering the ship.

Whoop nailed this with their strain metric. Before fitness trackers, most people felt helpless about their health. "Am I exercising enough? Too much? Who knows?"
Now you have a daily number to hit. Suddenly you're in control of optimizing sleep, managing stress, hitting activity goals.
Same body, same health - but now you feel like you're driving instead of just along for the ride.
