If X is mostly an illusion, I think I'm gonna do some crazy shit just for fun.
English
When I'm out and about in the world, people recognize me from IG or YouTube at a 20:1 ratio to X.
Outside of SF, an X user in the wild is a rare sighting which is strange given how much surface area X seems to occupy.
The X paradox: where is everyone?

@levelsio Spoken like someone who has not tried Brutal Doom. Trust me. And also don't let any kids watch.
English
Playing DOOM in 2026 is honestly boring but at least it lets you instantly play without an hour intro of cut scenes and tutorials and then when you load it a second time downloading a 50GB update for half an hour
Modern games really just suck and it's no wonder the industry is suffering:
- Revenue is down after inflation
- Player counts are down
- Studios are doing massive layoffs
They've ignored what people want for the last decade and now they're seeing it in their numbers

The modern audience doesn't want you to accept this. But DOOM 1993 got everything right. No cutscenes. No hand holding. No corporate slop. Just brutal combat, genius levels and a metal soundtrack. Woke trash disappears within days. DOOM is still here.

@Shpigford Today I just use "broadcasts_refreshes" and dom morphing until I run into an actual performance issue. I don't think about specific turbo frame this or granular stream push that.

has anyone ever deeply used react (or similar) inside a rails app and went BACK to hotwire?
when i poke around on older projects that use hotwire, it drives me insane the amount of extra effort it requires.

@__tinygrad__ That is Elons reason for wanting to put GPUs in space. He explained in the cheeky pint podcast interview.

If America doesn't get serious about changing this quickly, there's going to be no way for any US based AI providers to compete with China.

The price and difficulty of getting electricity in America is infuriating. Why aren't we building this? I nominate Arizona to be turned into a huge solar panel.

And the result:
🍋 🐔 🍄🟫 Juicy crispy acid chicken with acid mushrooms
Last time I did 240C / 465F and it tasted a bit better
This time 200C / 390F but still good
So def go for hotter
@levelsio@levelsio
Ok people asked me what protein to go with it So I get 4 giant local chicken legs with sea view I squeeze lemons on it, then some Kikkoman, some smoked paprika powder And as a test today I added the PREVIOUS acid chicken chicken stock I had (the fatty brown drab you see there) which just tastes amazing the longer you keep it So maybe that'll enhance the flavor even more never tried before Prep time for this is like 3min guys, healthy food doesn't have to take long That's why I love oven and airfryer cooking, pans is so much work and cleaning up and chaos!!!

@thekitze @developertomek I now prefer aider over cursor for that because it just writes all files at once and makes a git commit.
English
@developertomek yes cuz it can do changes in multiple files and take the entire codebase as a context for a prompt

i'm the biggest vscode hater, I just can't stand it. used webstorm for 10+ years at this point...

@levelsio @sobedominik @afonsolfm Pieter! The American mind does not comprehend sarcasm. Don‘t be mean.

Nope but very close:
Photo AI is a 100% serverless Vercel app written in Next.js
I use AWS Lambda to automatically scale my microservices and it ties into DynamoDB in the backend
The main DB runs on Firebase and I use Google BigQuery for data analytics
It uses vector embeddings on top of Amazon's Comprehend to take the edges off
English
Does it make sense to launch an API for Photo AI?
@afonsolfm said I should consider it
The photo quality and esp. resemblance is now one of the highest I think, and if you try other basic AI image apps they still suck at people
I am scared if I do it'll just make thousands of Photo AI clone apps with the same quality, and cut into my main biz?
On the other side, it seems B2C has limits to growth and an API is B2B so more $$$?

@Shpigford @JackEllis @maybe Hey! I just met you.
And this is crazy!
But would you take
Funding for Maybe!?

we raised $1.5m for @maybe over the past month. that is all. back to work.

@ShaanVP Idea: Stream the lessons and/or publish/sell the recordings.

I want to hire an AI tutor to help me learn to use AI tools.
Will pay you $500+ per hour. roughly 1-2 sessions a week.
Just show me the latest cool shit you can do in AI ( hold my hand and help me setup / use the tools)
email shaan AT shaanpuri dot com and tell me:
* who you are
* what are 3 cool AI workflows/magic tricks you could show me right now if we hopped on a zoom call

my brain sometimes wanders & attempts to create disastrously difficult email addresses. This expiring domain is a fine foundation for that entirely useless endeavor:

For research purposes: what’s your go-to podcast listening app?
Thanks!

🧈 I made my own butter cake
200g of sugar €0.29
Vanilla extract €0.05
200g rising flour €0.158
4 eggs €0.87
200g butter €1.50
Oven energy €0.40
+=€3.72
This is 20 slices
Cafe here sells 1 buttercake slice for €4
So €80 - €3.72 = 96% profit margin
We can make €76 profit per cake
If we make 1000 cakes per month we can make €76,000/mo profit
What if we make 10,000 cakes
We're pivoting from AI to butter cakes

@JudoHacker Plot twist: you will keep getting these emails. Nothing I tried made them go away but a custom filter in Fastmail 🤷♂️
English
More indie hacking decluttering.
I unpublished an old Android app. It was a novelty joke app for Star Trek TNG fans.
It was a fun idea and made a bit of money.
However, it's not worth the cognitive load of dealing with Google's deluge of emails about changes to the APIs, sales taxes, policies, store listing formats, etc.
Good riddance!

@_swanson @tenderlove @searls It doesn‘t exactly fail, it just stops. To get you in the habit of running this all the time and eventually covering more of your code daily than the alternative.

New ruby test framework from @tenderlove and @searls blog.testdouble.com/posts/2023-10-…
Test run will fail if it takes more than 1.8 seconds (forces deleting pointless tests, making tests fast)

gm people with "coffee" in their bio 👋 I just made a delicious decaf nescafe with cold sparkling water
