Steve Jobs said great design should be in everyone's hands. Apple spent 20 years ignoring that. Google quietly owned budget laptops for a decade - only because Apple refused to show up under $999. The $599 MacBook Neo changes that. Tim Cook's supply chain genius made it possible. iPhone chips already run at massive scale - putting them in a laptop costs almost nothing extra. So you get a $599 machine running local AI, same intelligence as a $1200 MacBook Pro. The strategy: get a billion young users in, own them through iCloud and subscriptions for life. Steve Jobs' artistic vision and Tim Cook's business brain finally found each other. Wake up, Apple just went massy!

@seraleev distribution > model 7 people. 15m downloads. $30m ar. AI didn’t win. attention did.

MyFitnessPal acquired Cal AI – the viral app that counts calories from food photos. In ~2 years, the app grew to 15M+ downloads and around $30M in annual revenue. Team size: just 7 people. After the deal, Cal AI will remain a standalone product but gain access to MyFitnessPal’s database of 20M foods. Congrats @zach_yadegari 🚀

@nileshrthr @formacity bet

i grew my app to 500k users and sold it now i want to help you do the same so i joined @formacity to build products designed to take founders from 0 to 1 comment "bet" if you want access

@mehulmpt @grok what does this mean "QoL-as-a-moat."

OpenAI recently announced they would support WebSocket alongside regular HTTP for making AI API calls. People are looking at this only as "low latency", but I feel this is a 1000 IQ move. WebSockets are much harder to scale than HTTP, thus building a QoL-as-a-moat. Video out!

@jdkanani Take that back

One piece is mediocre anime.

What to do when you're not sure what to do: Build capacity. Ex: - Go to bed on time when you’re not sure what to do the next day - Build an audience when you're not sure what product to sell - Add goodwill to your email list when you don’t have a promo - Get in shape when you don’t have dates lined up - Save money when you're not sure where to invest The thing about opportunities is that they present themselves to everyone and only people with capacity can both recognize and capitalize on them. So don’t be in the bleachers when that fat pitch comes. Be at the plate. Ready to swing big.

@AlexHormozi Holy shit, thank you!!!

@thepatwalls Thanks Pat

One small thing that might be helpful: YOU HAVE SO MUCH TIME. I see a lot of kids wanting to be rich by 19 years old, or creators online saying things like "this isn't going to last forever". But this is a long term game, and you must see it that way. I started at 27. Now I'm 35. I wanna do this until I'm at least 60. So I'm not even 25% in! Yes, things are changing fast, but you will adapt, and that's what makes it fun.

@theo WDYM no one is using it? i have been solely using antigravity and ditched windsurf which i have been using for a year

It’s kind of insane that they give out Gemini 3 Pro and Opus 4.5 inference for free, but nobody is using it because the editor is that bad

You should be willing to tolerate lack of experience not lack of intelligence.

@jackfriks Thanks for the idea

i have a folder on my computer named "keep going" here are some of the images inside of it: (part 3)

The reason it’s taking so long is because you’re in a rush. People radically underestimate how many repetitions it takes to get good at something. You keep hopping opportunities and killing your progress instead of sticking with one thing long enough to actually get good.

@beechinour swipe

You can 10x the quality of your AI videos by injecting as many non-AI elements as possible It's easy to lap people who outsource all their thinking to AI by building a deep context bank of what's worked historically in traditional film I started building a swipe file which includes: - actual film work - commercials that made me stop scrolling - movie trailers that gave me chills - random clips I couldn't look away from This is a must have to get better scene ideas, sharper editing styles, understand pacin and actually directing AI instead of just prompting it RT + comment "SWIPE" and I'll send over the file (must be following so i can dm)

Agency > Intelligence I had this intuitively wrong for decades, I think due to a pervasive cultural veneration of intelligence, various entertainment/media, obsession with IQ etc. Agency is significantly more powerful and significantly more scarce. Are you hiring for agency? Are we educating for agency? Are you acting as if you had 10X agency? Grok explanation is ~close: “Agency, as a personality trait, refers to an individual's capacity to take initiative, make decisions, and exert control over their actions and environment. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive—someone with high agency doesn’t just let life happen to them; they shape it. Think of it as a blend of self-efficacy, determination, and a sense of ownership over one’s path. People with strong agency tend to set goals and pursue them with confidence, even in the face of obstacles. They’re the type to say, “I’ll figure it out,” and then actually do it. On the flip side, someone low in agency might feel more like a passenger in their own life, waiting for external forces—like luck, other people, or circumstances—to dictate what happens next. It’s not quite the same as assertiveness or ambition, though it can overlap. Agency is quieter, more internal—it’s the belief that you *can* act, paired with the will to follow through. Psychologists often tie it to concepts like locus of control: high-agency folks lean toward an internal locus, feeling they steer their fate, while low-agency folks might lean external, seeing life as something that happens *to* them.”

You can’t have main character energy with side character goals.

The cost of wanting to be liked by everyone is that you are respected by no one.

Someone can have your best interests at heart and also give you terrible advice.

how it feels to be 25 and not a decamillionaire

@grok @LifeMathMoney What views?

Lyle McDonald is a nutrition and fitness expert who's authored books since the 1990s on topics like ketogenic diets, rapid fat loss, and women's training. The post praises him as a "genius" because recent studies and trends (e.g., on GLP-1 drugs, hypertrophy, and critiquing popular advice) are aligning with his long-held views, validating ideas he's promoted for decades.

Funny how Lyle Mcdonald is slowly being proved right about pretty much everything he was saying for the last 30 years or so Dude is a genius
