Just finished building my compact planetary gearbox! I designed it from scratch in CAD for small, high-torque BLDC motors. It stands at just 4.5cm tall with standard bearings and features an 8:1 gear ratio. The spur gears are machined from 4041 alloy steel by PCBway

Found a cool book this week

wasted 4 hours because i'm retarded

ive done more personal coding projects over christmas break than i have in the last 10 years. its crazy. i can sense the limitations, but i *know* nothing is going to be the same anymore.

@yacineMTB Have you considered using a text message webhook with something like twilio. Ive been working on this for voice to text work reports for a B2B service.

I need a task manager program, something that I can very easily use and track my different tasks, while having them assigned to individual coding agents. Right now; I just name my tmux sessions which task I'm trying to get done. But I need something that works with my phone

@kevinxu Yea

basically this

Absolutely

@alpharivelino @guideforlovers What about leopard print pajamas

@guideforlovers I knew you would 😘 I’m trying to guess which one you missed. I think one of these: 3-Enjoys cooking 9-Doesn’t curse

GOOD GIRL CHECKLIST 1-Shy 2-Loves her father 3-Enjoys cooking 4-Natural hair color 5-Soft clean feet 6-No Vans 7-No tattoos, no piercings (except ears) 8-No leopard print clothes 9-Doesn't curse 10-Her Instagram is private How does your girl score? 7/10+ and she's a keeper ✅

@marclou Crazy stats Marc, nice work this year

2025 Usage Bill: $3,220 That's 1/3 of a SWE salary. I ship 3x faster with AI. This is the greatest time to be alive.

New cabinets today on the investment project

What you create is an honest reflection of who you are.

Unboxed the new server this past weekend.

After a long robotics posting hiatus, I’m finally back with.. absolutely zero new robots. This week’s project: convincing 120-year-old knob-and-tube wiring that it wants to live peacefully alongside a 30A GFCI spa panel.

@marclou I’m not a runner, but hitting morning weighted calisthenics (pull-ups + dips @ +20 kg) for the last few months has been life changing. Same reasons - it beats desk life and builds discipline

For the next 30 days I’ll run 5km as soon as I wake up. 1. Because I spend the rest of the day sitting 2. Because I want to test my discipline 3. Because stepping out of comfort zone is how I learn stuff

@canvardar Best email API? Resend’s free tier is hard to beat. It wraps AWS SES, gives you ≈2/sec, and scales further if you queue requests on your own backend.

looking for the best email sending API

@DCinfoscaling SEND

you’re missing out. - guide to ebooks - guide to offer creation - guide to lead magnets - guide to landing pages - guide to organic traffic - guide to email outreach - guide to building funnels - guide to product validation just like and reply “SEND” and I'll DM them to you.

Building off my prior work, this week I made a url shortener api to handle long links, this will be useful for sending links over sms and avoid this ugly mess.

@beffjezos Without a love for and understanding of the human experience, intelligence alone does not stand to benefit democracy

What happens to Democracy when most intelligence in the world is artificial? Do we need to shift to a proof-of-intellect weighted voting system? Questions to begin pondering now as we reach an inflection point.

@ID_AA_Carmack Not being transparent about your product can definitely kill it. Might as well market these humanoid robots for what they are now rather than what they could become!

Companies selling the dream of autonomous household humanoid robots today would be better off embracing reality and selling “remote operated household help”. Have teams of employees running them 24/7, with the option to reduce their workload as autonomous behaviors become viable. That would be genuinely valuable for some people, although likely still a money sink even with low cost labor. It would be the ethical way to gather the desired training data.
