@shivmalik ...from development" view. Are there enough people locally or semi locally who can be mobilised so it doesn't feel astroturfy? That feels like the hard bit.

@shivmalik Playing this out. I'd bank that you can get the groups and organisers on side to do the work, make concessions, shared goals etc. But what would the plan be to get down the actual people who would benefit from the houses? The local people will mostly align to the "we lose...

Dear fellow YIMBYs. We’re so disorganised we can’t win any of these fights. We have to admit that to ourselves. We complain on Twitter but we have ZERO ground game. Name one protest FOR housing in the last decade. There’s very little solidarity between us and certainly no-coordination. Politics - the art of the possible- means compromise. What is our strategic alignment?

@ry_paddy Can buy that. Would be very applicable to us. Shout if you want the details

There is a huge challenge (and opportunity) in new financing models for companies operating at the intersection of bits and atoms. This is the new frontier, and - I suspect - is where the next trillion dollar businesses are most likely to be built. You cannot finance all these physical assets, inventory, manufacturing capacity, infrastructure, etc. purely with equity. Traditional debt is not yet comfortable with the risks - these companies are too nascent. I suspect the winning VCs in this space will learn to think like infrastructure investors (or hire for that skillset). The best will be thinking about capital structures beyond equity at the point of investment - writing an equity cheque but also helping design the full stack of capital the company will need, including warehouse facilities, equipment financing, and offtake-backed debt. This is a very different skill set from traditional venture. Instead of "we can help you hire a VP of Sales," it's "we can help you structure a $200M debt facility against your contracted revenue." Government and quasi-government capital as a catalyst for robotics, new models in life sciences, etc. will also be very important. This is exactly what has allowed China to take the lead in robotics. The state has been willing to think very long term and absorb massive up-front losses, act as a first customer, etc. We can and should learn from them.

@thomasforth Similar style vibes. Also on claude. Plotting stolen assets and our recovery guys out chasing them. Massive productivity unlock for us moving from a DB view to a live map view.

I have this app called PhotoMaps. It's a simple idea, scan your whole hard drive for photos with geotags, and then put them on a map. Works great, but the libraries I use (MapControl in UWP) are being deprecated by Microsoft. So I want a new version,... so I asked Claude. And,...

Really sorry to say it but I have been vibe coding and I am now pulling my AGI timeline forward to much sooner. It's so good.

@MPrinParr 🧐

I do.

@ryanmouquegolf @RobertTyreMarks And then some of those end up being fundamental improvements. I'm not expecting miracles from every clip. Or that every clip will be useful to me. But every clip makes me think, analyse and (hopefully) learn. I'd be gutted if you stopped doing what you do!

@ryanmouquegolf @RobertTyreMarks I've improved dramatically by following your content I analyse it and think "am I doing the movement pattern he's talking about? Do I think this is relevant to my swing?" Based on this I end up trying about a third of your clips in real life.

There’s a small number of golf coaches on this site who post golf lessons and tips every single day. Their students must be confused as hell. 🤔

If you had 24 hours to eat 15,000 calories of any one food for $5,000,000 what food would you choose?

Shoutout to @checkoutpage - fully customisable and perfect for rapid iteration of complex checkpout flows. Great customer support from the team there too. Highly recommend.

@PositivFuturist @pursuitofprog The potential upside is that the prevalence of spam and fakery actually generates better media literacy, thinking from first principles and holding opinions weakly until certain.

@pursuitofprog Kids will adapt faster than we will.. they'll adopt a mindset of not caring if video is real or not.. theoretically any video COULD be real, but who cares?

In the last few days I have sometimes become seriously unsure if a video is real or AI. This seems a pretty significant change and... there is surprisingly little political attention to this fact. Real people can be trivially faked on video. Politicians, journalists etc.

@thomasforth Still the middle of summer (pretty much)

Broke. Cracked. Folded. Heating is on.

@devinsfountain I'm hoping (and imagine) that they make a point of analysing how it performs and if they're happy (or not) with it over the coming months. It could all be a great exercise in demonstrating analytics. If I was forced to bet I would agree with how you think it'll last play out

When designers are done fawning over Posthog’s site and the company realizes the site isn’t converting people, they’ll redesign the site to be a standard large hero and feature list with a clear CTA. Designers will complain that it lost its creativity and I will quote this tweet.

@P_Bonnet Want to see a business fixing this?

Just go my phone stolen in London. Same people, same bikes. I see them daily. This time it was me. Tomorrow, a friend. We do not have to live like this. I wished things changed for the better. Police needs to be given the means to act. #London #Crime #Labour #Politics

@thomasforth ZERO ambition

Of course I invite it, and am a target of it, and incite it to a certain extent. And I know that here I'm just nutpicking. But I'm still surprised by just how many comments and replies like this I get on anything I write about North English economic underperformance.

@adamyounggolf A3

Do you want to hit straighter golf shots? Knowing whether to fix path or face can be difficult - especially without a launch monitor. However, I've developed a super simple flow-diagram that helps you determine the best course of action. It will help you get to a more neutral path and face combination WITHOUT the need for an expensive launch monitor. Just using an iron and ball flight alone. 🔥Reply with "A3" and I'll send you the 1 min video explainer.

@NoahEpstein_ Consultant

Claude just made every $10K n8n consultant obsolete. I fed it 1,000 broken workflows from "experts" charging fortune 500 companies. It fixed them all in 37 minutes. Then showed me why they were garbage to begin with. Here's what these "automation experts" don't want you to know: Their $10K workflows: - 147 unnecessary nodes - Zero error handling - Break when someone sneezes - Take 3 weeks to deliver - Require monthly "maintenance" fees Claude's rebuilt versions: - 12 nodes maximum - Self-healing error handling - Run for months untouched - Built in 10 minutes Cost: $0 (plus my prompt) I tested this on 5 client projects. Claude outperformed every consultant. The "experts" are panicking because anyone with ChatGPT can now: - Diagnose workflow problems instantly - Rebuild complex automations from screenshots - Add features consultants claim are "impossible" - Fix their overpriced mistakes One consultant tried to charge me $3K to add email notifications. Claude did it in 47 seconds. The automation consulting industry is built on artificial complexity. They're not smarter than you. They just speak in acronyms. Want the exact prompts that turn Claude into a $100K/year automation consultant? Like + Comment "CONSULTANT" & I'll send you: ✓ The workflow diagnostic prompts ✓ My n8n rebuilding templates ✓ Error handling blueprints ✓ Client pricing calculator Your competition is still paying consultants. Time to eat their lunch.
