generating robotics training scenes usually takes days of manual work. here’s a raw demo of fluxa: using natural language to build environments in minutes. 🤖✨

I spent a week with Farza Majeed. In his own words, he's "just a guy that loves creating things for others", such as: - a $100k/year eBay business selling CDs as a teenager - Zipschool, a better way to homeschool your kids via live classes for 150,000 students - Buildspace, a school for people to work on their own ideas, helping over 200,000 people become app developers, content creators, musicians, writers, or doing anything else they loved Farza is like the internet's big brother. He makes it seem so simple to follow your passion, because he's because he's been doing it for years. He never gives advice, just tells his story and hopes people learn something from it. You look at him and think, "if he can do it, why can't I?" Everyone in Silicon Valley wants something from you, but Farza literally hasn't charged his users for the past 5 years. I'm often shocked at how he's able to afford rent, yet I'm also fairly certain he's going to be a billionaire. After burning out, he's back to founding another company. I wrote for @sfalexandria_ about his journey, how he changes the lives of everyone he meets, and what keeps him going. sfalexandria.com/posts/farzas-c…

@_mrdavidsong lolll😆

what going to the aquarium taught me about building scalable AI-powered user experiences

Introducing Wingman: a model-agnostic, MCP-native coding assistant. You can now get the Claude Code experience with ANY model for FREE. - MIT-licensed - MCP-native - Model-agnostic > pip install wingman-cli

@AIFlow_ML yep so far it is, i’m working on getting it published 😁

@emobobaz Is this OS ?

@emobobaz you building what ? I wan it !

@mykov20 omg amazing!!!!

day 4 of marketing, got a tiktok slideshow to 80k views

@AIFlow_ML thank u! the aim is to speed up production for research labs and start ups, so they don’t have to spend days/weeks on creating a synthetic data generation scene

@emobobaz I like this

i’m one of the beta testers and it’s been very cool to use! esp among different llms

I think my ceo actually went crazy btw OpenRouter charges 5.5% for MCP, Dedalus is free Other agent platforms charge you for every output, we’re free and you can switch in one line of code This cannot be economically sound

@mykov20 this is fire 🔥🔥🔥

the advent of texting and social media has led to an increased focus on written language and images leaving people uncomfortable speaking to people they don’t know well which is why i am bullish on oompf.app

@itsCathyDi @dedaluslabs ☃️👾

we made all models free for anyone coding over the holidays. merry christmas!

@KindredSalway @dedaluslabs @ldnfounderhouse @theresidency woo!

3 weeks of eating (and building, i guess) complete thx @dedaluslabs @ldnfounderhouse @theresidency

@autodidacc_fyi ship it!!!!!!!!

program is over. i feel breatheless. i am scared to actually ship it. i must do what i must and just do it. hold me accountable.

@palashaw_ wooooo 🙌🙌

I spent 2 days convincing them this was a good idea Thank me later

@itsCathyDi insane deal!!

merry christmas don't get too naughty ;)

thought i would share a blooper

@autodidacc_fyi @iamwaynechi ty!

I did industry research and then chose to return for a CS PhD at CMU. A few thoughts on why I chose to do a PhD. In industry research, it’s hard to work on the same problem for long. Timelines change and product incentives shift. As a result, it’s difficult to really develop deep insights into one particular area of research. During a PhD, you can plan out multiple years of research without worrying about external factors. You want to work on diffusion for five years? Simply go do it. This is perhaps the number one reason to do a PhD. Second, industry typically gives you little control over collaborators. It’s difficult to know who you’re going to work with and, once you’re there, you can’t really pick and choose either. At some point, everyone has worked with someone they absolutely do not want to work with. In a PhD, the talent density is incredibly high. I’ve had the opposite problem where I simply want to work with too many people. But, if you do encounter someone you don’t want to work with… simply don’t work with them. Lastly, let’s say you do work for a top-lab where you’re surrounded by brilliant people and everyone has the same long term vision. Guess what… almost everybody around you has a PhD. Not only does this mean you have to prove you are at a PhD level, but mentally it’s annoying knowing that everyone else has a PhD and you don’t. I firmly believe that you can succeed without a PhD, but it’s definitely an uphill battle. Of course, there are many downsides to doing a PhD, most notably money and compute (aka money). Nowadays, a pattern I’ve seen work very well is 2-3 years in industry before the PhD, just to provide yourself some money and comparison. Everyone I know who has done this has been very successful. At the end of the day, the PhD is about buying time and freedom of choice. Whether that’s worth it is up to you.

major break through - got an #isaacsim mcp server sever to connect to an agent through @dedaluslabs! updated demo video coming soon 😃
