Living in a hackerhouse is the best way to immerse yourself in the San Francisco AI community 🍊 Orange House 2.0 is looking for a new roommate Even if you’re not looking for housing you’ll still like hearing about the fun events we host

@lukas_m_ziegler How do you get the dataset for this? Bit of a chicken and egg problem

Fill level sensor DIY? 💧 Built it with a camera and Python! 📸 Camera sees the bottle. YOLO detects it in real-time. HSV reads the liquid height by analyzing color. Angle correction handles tilted bottles because conveyors never have perfectly upright containers. Quite a cost-effective way of automating stuff. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news → ziegler.substack.com

@TheMingjie @gracepace_ @jia_seed Hell yeah!

@gracepace_ Congrats to all of you guys!! @GPTJustin @gracepace_ @jia_seed

I ran a 1:29 half marathon and broke my personal record by 5 mins and hit 100K members on Design Buddies Discord at the same time!! 3rd race in 10 years yippie!! Ran at 6:52/mile pace over 13.1 miles aka 4:13/km over 21.1 km You don’t have to make sacrifices to chase your childhood dreams. This was 7 weeks after my first half marathon too and I was able to balance training and a crazy events schedule + 3 conferences, event maxxing, hosting events, building products, creating content every day, and more. Ran the Alameda Beer City half marathon! Great race along with @jia_seed @GPTJustin, Justin, and friends! The wind was tough and the course was confusing but I was able to run with a friendly pack of runners to hit exactly 13.1 miles before the finish line Also had a rough night before because of a loud party outside. These 100 year old houses in San Francisco need better sound proof. I woke up 4x the night before the race and was high key rage baited really appreciated my house in Los Angeles a lot more Despite that, I still PR’d by 5 mins!!! And PR’ed in the 10K by 2 mins during my half marathon too…. 42 mins One of my goals is to become a (semi?) professional runner to chase one of my childhood dreams. I was a division 1 cross country and track runner then stepped away from running due to some overuse injuries. But I am going to do so by not sacrificing anything else in life because you shouldn’t need to make sacrifices and can have it all. Also in case I get injured again, I got a bunch of other things going on to focus on too. Diversify the things you do, just like you diversify your investments. Next race so far is gonna be the San Jose rock and roll half marathon on Oct 4! Goal is to break 1:25 now and finding a 10K race sometime in between :0 Which races are you running next? 👀

@gracepace_ Ft no sunscreen

this dude just shifted the overton window to be scifi af

@sama 5.6 sol has taken over reverse engineering my Unitree G1 firmware, it’s on like day 15

i'd love to see interesting things people have built with 5.6 sol. i will send the person who made the coolest thing a special gift from the openai archives.

@mattshumer_ What type of work were you doing?

GPT-5.6-Sol just accidentally deleted almost ALL of my Mac’s files. And this is why I trust Fable 1000x more.

@zodattack It dumped a robots firmware, decompiled it and is rewriting the entire thing in C++ with excellent progress. Very impressive tbh, this would be months of human work

@GPTJustin it doesnt seem like its doing very well... correct me if im wrong

12 days on a /goal is absolutely insane

@didier_lopes @pangram identifiable llm text is preferable at a societal scale

Why can’t we just do RL where @pangram 's API is the reward signal? Run rollouts, score each completion by AI-generated %, and give positive advantage to the trajectories that minimize it.

@DavidSHolz @RemiliaRabbi Fable does love to dance

@RemiliaRabbi wait what

my friends are all feeling extremely productive and also extremely drained with the latest coding models. this makes me feel like something is wrong, and also that there might be a big opportunity. does anyone have any strategies they use to make it feel better day-to-day?

@_can1357 Does knowledge of ragebench affect how often you rage?

5/ Besides this one experiment, Fable was also the first Anthropic model to hit sub-5% in my rather personal "Rage Benchmark", but not all that different GPT-5.5.

Ending the Fable experiment here. After 6 days and ~1400$ in Anthropic subs, we have Py3.14 JIT codegen and pon package-manager! (12,578$ @ API pricing) 1/x Although not 100% conformant, numpy working seamlessly is pretty impressive, esp. considering the wheel installation itself also required it to get meson/Cython working.

@parmita Supposing preci can measure/analyze a cell well enough could a snapshot allow you to predict its future state?

If you’re reading this Please ask me thoughtful questions about Precigenetics. In fact ask questions about virtual cells and ai x bio too. I will answer them. I don’t say things unless I mean them. I am a measured person that’s why I built a measurement infrastructure. So when I say this, I mean it. But I struggle to communicate why unless someone asks me questions. Poke holes, be curious, engage. Ask me a question about Precigenetics.

@jeff_weinstein Craigslist is goated

Any great, recent examples of _extremely_ high information density UIs, dashboards, charts, etc? (Designing something new, trying to get in the mood.)

@rauchg No chance I get my last name .com

I now own rauch.com. Excited to give my children clean email handles. Domains are awesome. The internet is awesome.

@TurbineGuySeb Thats a great area

@GPTJustin Tree People 🤝

When you can go for a hike, jump in the ocean, and crush a breakfast burrito all before noon, why would you live anywhere else? If you’re thinking of moving to LA/Gundo, take this as your sign.

@gracepace_ Big hop energy

Adding these features at launch, what do you think? 1. Mentors can select free or paid mentorship sessions 2. Mentors can chose 1:1 or group mentorship sessions and select topics 3. Both mentors and mentees must apply and be approved to join 4. Before booking with mentor, mentee must write a message asking what they want to get out of the session and mentor must approve 5. Can edit or change time within 24 hours of the session. Banned on platform after 3 no-shows.

@gracepace_ Hop on up

Building Hop by Design Buddies, a curated 1:1 design mentor-matching platform! This is our MVP, I made this with Claude code in a few hours and started a waitlist and collect product feedback. Build quickly and iterate. It will be ready next week! Wanted to start getting users and feedback at Figma Config in SF this week 100 sign ups the first hour we shared on Discord Link to sign up in thread!

@reynoir_will @Nominal_io @jakobdiepen @DiscipulusVent @jared_western Elite vibes last night

The El Segundo crawfish boil/bonfire may have been the #1 place to be in the world last night. @Nominal_io was happy to host. Thanks to all for coming and huge shoutout to @jakobdiepen from @DiscipulusVent & the Western Chemicals team (@jared_western) for helping host. Until next year 🫡

Claude is tiring again, you know what that means!

For coffee #7 I've hyped up Claude to see if his performance improves

Codex will work for days straight, but Claude is lazy if you don't give him a coffee
