I’m trying something new! Here is Discord Digest, a newsletter about Web3, crypto and NFTs Where I share with you the best resources and projects I’ve found across Twitter & Discords Short and snackable content 🍿 First edition here: discorddigest.substack.com/p/discord-dige…

@LocalTourist3 Definitely not a decision I regret indeed. Learning new things is never a good idea anyway 😀

@Martin2roude Looks like your time spent learning Python is a good decision!

Microsoft is bringing Python to Excel A public preview of the feature is now available, allowing Excel users to manipulate and analyze data from Python theverge.com/2023/8/22/2384…

@tomosman @anysphere I was listening this podcast episode earlier today with one of the co-founder: #details" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">latent.space/p/cursor#detai…

Meet Cursor, your Shiny new, GPT-4 powered code editor! ✨ Built by the team at @anysphere it's catching fire by putting AI into the core of the product. Rather than just writing code and copying it into the codebase, Cursor acts like a genius grade pair-programmer. - Ask questions about your codebase - Browse documentation - Edit existing code - Generate code from scratch - Spot and fix bug bugs - and tons more. (Being a smol brained non-dev there are people way better at explaining the details than me beyond this!) As it's a fork of VSCode they've built a one-click migration to allow you to move everything over without it being too much of a pain in the ass. Big brain folks seen to like it so kudos and love to see more products being redesigned with AI right at the core rather than just being a feature 😍 p.s. love this little excerpt from the Anysphere website. "Humans should focus on bigger problems. Human history is a story of capabilities and tools. New capabilities are rare. They're often discovered rather than invented. In the early ages, we got fire. In the 1800s, we got electricity. In the 1900s, we got computing. And in the 2000s, we are getting artificial intelligence. Tools are invented. They operate on a shorter timescale. They are how humans interact with our capabilities. They are about details and craft and enjoyment for their user, as well as expansion and nurturement and real-world applicability of their underlying capability. Tool builders take a capability and turn it into something useful and enjoyable to make the world better."

Want to get up to speed with @langchain ? This course on Udemy is pretty good and will help you understand the basics in under an hour. Some Python knowledge will help of course #overview" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">udemy.com/course/langcha…

Here’s how you can use AI to: - write content ✏️ - make images 🌆 - come up with ideas💡 - make videos 📹 - work with docs and data 👩‍💻 - research information 🗞️ How are you using AI? oneusefulthing.org/p/how-to-use-a…

Can't remember seeing a company shipping new features faster than @beehiiv These new AI features look pretty powerful

How to read more books? 1) Environment is key. Make books unavoidable 2) Make reading a ritual (even 10 minutes/day) 3) Read 2-3 books at the same time 4) Mix genres. Fiction, non-fiction. Go for diversity 5) Don't like a book? Ditch it! Reading isn’t a chore, it’s a choice!

1 year ago, I moved from the Uk to Mallorca, Spain with my wife and 4 children 🌴 A few thoughts ☀️ 1) Sunshine makes an immense difference to your overall health. 2) A great day can be as simple as a beach, a cool box and a towel. 3) Children are happier when they're outside. 4) Time close to or in the sea is great for the soul. 5) You can't go against culture, only with it. 6) Eating well doesn't have to be complicated. Simple ingredients cooked well is the game. 7) Processed food is out of control in the Uk. 8) Baseline health standards are much higher in Spain. 9) Obesity is much less tolerated. 10) Big families are loved and encouraged. 11) Children are the center of the universe in Spain. 12) Teachers hug, kiss and comfort the children at school. It's a travesty this is not allowed in the Uk and other countries. 13) Learning languages at age 5 is play. 3/5 languages by early 10's is the target. 14) 4 children can attend the best private international school for the same cost as 1 child private in the Uk. 15) Teachers are vastly underpaid. 16) Great teachers are immeasurably beneficial for your children. 17) Everything takes 3x as long, in some cases 10x. 18) The slower pace of life is enforced. 19) Paper is still the default. Digital is lagging way behind. 20) People don't fuck with the police. The Guardia Civil will destroy you. 21) 99% of the police (especially Guardia) are in incredible shape. 22) Healthcare is fantastic. 23) Attempting to speak in Spanish (even when a clear beginner) is always well received. 24) Shift from Socialist to Conservative is starting. Taxes should come down. 25) Digital nomad visas are now available. 26) Although painful, there's huge opportunity for innovation. 27) Long lunches and late dinners are incredible. 28) Being out late with your children is normal. 29) The school run is the ultimate networking opportunity. 30) Splitting twins into separate classes is extremely beneficial for their development. 31) Having 4 children in 4 classes is the social life hack. 32) Nothing happens quickly, you have to accept it. 32) If you can live in the sun, you should. 33) You will make closer friends by moving somewhere with intention as other people have done the same. Likely you share similar values. 34) Taking your children to the beach after school is one of the greatest pleasures in life. That's it for now :) May add some more as I think of them!

That feeling when you are learning how to code with Python and you manage to: - scrap a website with BeautifulSoup - add the data to a csv file

@charlierward I need to explore this area a bit more this summer. Any good spots/areas you would recommend?

So west London's actually really nice. Why is nobody talking about this

@tomosman 100% agree. I would never bet against the Zuck

I have a hunch that history will show Zuck as one of the greatest of all time. This mindset is why.

@tomosman @beehiiv @glideapps @OpenAI @zapier @discord I definitely need to go back to Glide, it's pretty impressive what they've been building

Glide is an absolute monster of a product now!! Number 1 combo now is possibly: - @beehiiv newsletter + landing - @glideapps app + logic - @OpenAI artificial intelligence - @zapier extra automation - @discord community Wild!

"It’s not about 'educated' vs. 'uneducated.' It’s about 'likes to read' and 'doesn’t like to read.' " @naval 📚 So, which camp do you belong to: 'loves to read' or 'not really'? 🤔

@gonsanchezs that's incredible consistency 👏

scheduling Seedtable #198 right now that's almost four years of publishing every weekend

@JamesClear 1) Go to bed and wake up at the same every day of the week 2) Don't delay doing a task if you can do in the next 5 minutes 3) Read every day 4) Go for a walk every day

What is one habit you've formed that had a significant impact on your life?

@truedrew Thanks for launching this! Love the course’s name 👍

This you? - You saw the promise of AI - You want to skip learning to code - You tried to code with AI - It's not as easy as it looks - You took a pause... It's a lot of people, but I'm solving it... Introducing the "Enough to be Dangerous" course series! (Link at the end 🧵)

The ChatGPT iOS app is now available across more countries, including 🇬🇧 & 🇫🇷 Let's give it a try! apps.apple.com/app/openai-cha…

@tom_hirst yep, i'm also going back to forcing myself to write my own notes after finishing reading a book. Highlighting alone doesn't work in my opinion if you want the key concepts to stick with you

@Martin2roude Same here. I’ve missed it for the clarity of thought.

How to gain confidence in your thoughts: Start writing.
