Death once had a near-Chuck Norris experience. RIP, you were an icon and we could use more heroes like you today.

@Kasparov63 Not only was Danya a brilliant chess player, but he was a gentle and kind soul in a world where these qualities are increasingly rare. I'm heartbroken.

💔

RIP Danya, we learned so much from you. You were an example and an inspiration. Baruch dayan haemet @GmNaroditsky

This image one-shotted me, philosophically.

@regExpParser @justbuilding @levelsio What tool did you use to check if the image was AI gen?

@justbuilding @levelsio Surely you did so

I just raw dogged my latest project using the @levelsio method. Hetzner $12.99 month VPS Claude via Terminus It’s a 20x productivity boost. Try it.

@elonmusk an AI notetaker like @sembly_ai does away with the fomo of not attending a meeting, allowing team members to stay in flow and check back on anything relevant from the meeting later. Total privacy by design. Costs pennies per meeting, 2,500% ROI.

Do we impose order or do we observe it? Math is a language of observation. This language is ever-refining, but at any given time, it is the most accurate language for observation that we can devise. New discoveries in math are more elegant expressions of observation, while infinite labyrinths remain. If aliens on another planet invent their own observation language, it could be more or less elegant than our latest body of math, but it cannot be conceptually or structurally different from ours if they live according to the same physical laws that we do (fundamental forces, elements, thermodynamics, etc). The words we use in math are abitrary, of course, and vary with language of origin, but they are, in fact, mutually agreed labels on our shared observed reality. So, imho, certainly discovered, not invented. @bgreene thanks for your many contributions to making our language of observation more elegant. The aliens would be impressed.

Is math discovered or invented? Most scientists say discovered. I used to agree. But I’ve come to think we invent systems to impose order, and math is our most powerful language for expressing that order.

@ericzakariasson High Load 😣

what do you think of 0.46 so far?

@christianrais77 Sembly AI, Cursor AI, Grok

Cursor AI - $20 Lovable - $20 Bolt new - $18 ChatGPT - $20 Grok - $8 V0 dev - $20 Copilot - $10 You have $50 what you guys will be picking?

@sama How do the intended usecases of O3mini compare to 4o? Is there a 5o coming?

o3-mini is out! smart, fast model. available in ChatGPT and API. it can search the web, and it shows its thinking. available to free-tier users! click the "reason" button. with ChatGPT plus, you can select "o3-mini-high", which thinks harder and gives better answers.

How dare DeepSeek stole the stolen data.

All this DeepSeek hoopla is monkey business. Here's proof...

There's been a notable shift with DeepSeek news, but it's not what you might expect. We've known for a while that model compute costs would decrease. Per token costs have been dropping every few months from major providers and open models. In this regard, DeepSeek is just following the trend, perhaps a bit faster than anticipated. This suggests the efficiency curve for LLM compute might be more geometric than linear. In essence, this isn't news. However, the perception of AI company value has changed. Initially, VCs would often ask, "Is your business just a GPT wrapper?" indicating uncertainty about assessing competitive advantages in this new field. Now, as LLM compute becomes commoditized, even for advanced models, it's evident that the model itself isn't what creates a moat. Instead, value and competitive edges come from interface loyalty and the consistent, secure delivery of tangible benefits through applied LLM applications. At @sembly_ai , our thesis has always been about "effectively applied AI." LLMs will continue to commoditize much like operating systems did once open source became prevalent. Today is the last day to secure early bird investor perks, including significant bonus shares, in Sembly AI's crowdfund raise. We're offering a substantial discount on our valuation if you invest today. The minimum investment is $250. Whether we use DeepSeek, another model, or a combination to achieve our user experience goals, this is a unique chance to invest at the ground level of AI.

@levelsio Great site. What about Play Air?

Data in first tweet from my site airlinelist.com

The horrible Jeju Air crash shows how random air crashes can be: before this crash Jeju Air had an almost flawless safety record I flew with them lots of times, from and to Jeju Island, which is what it's named after, which is like the Hawaii of South Korea But also from/to Bangkok, cause Jeju Air is a great low cost airline but with great service and great pilots from a country with great airline safety (Yes 25+ years ago there were lost of airline incidents in Korea because of hierarchical bs but the culture changed since then and like in startups it was replaced with speaking English) The airplane is also very safe: a Boeing 737-800, which is called Next Gen and launched in 1997, it's the model before the 737 Max, and it's really really safe and solid So all in this is very random: a safe airline flying a safe plane with great pilots from a country with well regulated airlines Pics: data before and after this crash

We are so tiny

The incomprehensible scale of Space 🧵 1. Perspective is everything. Feel small yet?

@levelsio This level of minimalism will work but only for a subset of products, specifically those that have a pretty narrow set of usecases and very few human-staff touchpoints so you can scale without scaling team. There is no one size fits all.

That's not minimal enough for me: - 1 founder who's also developer, designer, marketing (use ChatGPT to help with those) - 0 humans - Stripe account for $$$ - Aim for 100% automation - Worker robot scripts that use ChatGPT API to do stuff regularly that humans would do normally (think moderation, sales) schedule them hourly, daily, weekly, monthly (like cron jobs) - Featurebase.app bug and feedback board - Stripe Billing Portal for changing and canceling subcription - Self-service customer dashboard (with self-refund) - 99% profit margins

@chpiatt @levelsio Any good examples of product communities on Discord? Thinking about it.

@levelsio I am one of those that wanted Discord. I think Telegram is basically unusable for communities that naturally segment into many subtopics/threads (like countries/cities for Nomad List) so NL lost a lot of value for me in the switch unfortunately.

♻️ Now almost a year later, I think it was a great decision to switch Nomads.com's digital nomad chat community from Slack to Telegram I got rid of a $120,000/year Slack bill and left a platform that was really anti-community and also dying IMHO I moved it all to Telegram which has 1 billion users and is full of community features A lot of people said just move it to Discord, but Discord's interface is just way more for desktop than for mobile and I never saw myself using it a lot while I used Telegram every day for everything, IMHO it's just the best chat app in terms of interface out of any It was risky and scary to swtich because the core of Nomads is the community, and it had been on Slack since 2014: members were quite shocked by the move, many never even switched from Slack to Telegram but just disappeared forever But because there's a constant new flow of members, it slowly built itself up again and now it's a very healthy chat just like it was on Slack before (and I think better) Moderation in Telegram IS indeed a challenge, and it is true that Telegram is still full of spam bots, but if you make your chat only for paid members, those can't even get in! What also helps is: I built a fully automated mod bot which sends every message to GPT4 to review it by moderation rules and removes any content that shouldn't be there, it stops fighting, political discussions, and many more things to keep the chat clean and friendly You can also use apps like Combot to moderate your chat, I'm not affiliated but I use it for my other chat @levelsio and it works great too There's channels for most countries in the world and people use it to quickly get intel when they arrive in a new place, meet up with other people, make friends and even find bf/gfs And it's almost 5,000 members in a single Telegram chat now, and adding about the same every year in new members!
