I used to want to work with Anthropic. I... - memorised their docs - was invited to all the early-access features - spoke to the team during internal interviews - gave detailed feedback that was actually used - and was allowed to announce features early... I'd also bite my tongue, publicly, on early bad decisions to not ruin my relationships with the team. But I'm SO disappointed in their sudden switch up (if you couldn't tell by my last 10+ posts)... It's like a scene straight out of a movie... Growing up with a friend who was the quiet nerd, you'd protect them and lift them up... But once they got a taste of the high-life they switch up on you and become the bully. They'll ban you (not me, yet)... They'll answer EVERY QUESTION except the one EVERYONE is asking... They'll punch down on smaller companies... And we can't do anything, except watch...helplessly. Funnily enough, and I AM pointing fingers, this switch started when ONE person joined their team. I think that person should be fired. I don't care if they're just the "messenger". They're terrible at their job and since joining WE'VE ALL noticed a dramamatic shift in the "aura/vibe" of the company. You probably already know who I'm talking about... But they need to GO. As a founder and developer, I'm thankful that @sama has chosen to go down the route of being helpful, kind and clear on their values and mission.

@levelsio Jack follows me but I couldn't comment on that post

Okay and who of you couldn't reply to this? Please please only if you couldn't okay?

competitive games mirror the same win-conditions as real life: - i always /mute all chat (no peer pressure, no chance of negativity that can sway behavior) - split win-conditions into "macro" and "micro" (what needs to happen globally (aka the market) and the your personal competance to win within that market) - split your gameplan into temporal phases: "early game", "mid game", and "late game" (use dates as cues to move onto the next phase) - understand your "enemies" aka competitors, better than they understand themselves (if they don't understand how to maximise their strengths) you can win - you need a good team, people who are competent and WANT to play to win, they'll understand their own strengths and play to the strengths of their teammates and aligning for max "synergy" - understand the objectives - have an understanding of the value of certain actions and knowing you're always making probabalistic trade-offs and to win, you need to always be making the best decisions - everything is turn-based combat, even competitive businesses (know when to engage and prepare your resources, know when to back-off, know when to invest cash for "power-spikes", know when your power-spikes are, punish your competitors' bad moves - never surrender, you can always turn bad games

I was severly burnt out last week and today I snapped out of it and I know why

excellent read, you NEED to listen/read to this if you're using codex or claude code to build products: openai.com/index/harness-…

the "vibecoder" to "technical project management" pipeline should be studied

burn out is easy to get over. just fall back in love with learning. the secret is to be curious, strip away distractions and actively engage with what you're building. when you prompt your agent, don't immediately scroll through socials... stay present. read its thinking process, research what it's doing, learn from it. you're not just mindlessly using a tool, you're fine-tuning a machine that extends your capabilities. this same curiosity applies to problems. when you hit a roadblock or find a bug, notice that urge to get frustrated. that voice saying "the launch should've been last week." but here's what i learned during those 18-hour days when the business saw its biggest leaps: i wanted to find problems sooner. bugs became treasures. unknowns became opportunities. because problems are how you grow. hitting your mrr target won't make you better. but how you respond to the unexpected issues on the way there? that shapes everything. think of yourself as water moving toward the ocean. you don't resist the rocks in the stream - you flow around them, over them, through them. each obstacle teaches you a new way to move. this is what fast progress actually looks like. not forcing. flowing. remember - you're cultivating something that needs time. you've planted a seed with your vision. you're tending to it daily through the game of business. but you can't force it to fruit on your timeline. you can't say "i'm hungry now, why won't this seed i just planted feed me?" instead, you do the work: plant the seed. maintain the soil. water it daily. give it sunlight - your focused life force. and when it's ready, not when you demand it, it'll bear fruit that feeds you and your loved ones for generations. burnout happens when we forget this. when we try to force seasons. when we resist the natural obstacles that teach us how to flow. fall back in love with the process. embrace the bugs. flow like water. tend your garden. it will come.

whats the best AI model to help extract text from 5000 PDFs? (exam papers)

@justinskycak I've been working on my own skill tree system for the UK education system Is there a GitHub repo I can explore to see how you've structured this? Thank you!

A visualization of our knowledge graph, spanning all the mathematical prerequisites from 4th grade math all the way up to the first couple years of university math. Courses shown: -- 4th Grade Math -- 5th Grade Math -- Prealgebra -- Algebra 1 -- Geometry -- Algebra 2 -- Precalculus -- SAT Test Prep -- Calculus 1 -- Calculus 2 -- Linear Algebra (a first course) -- Multivatiable Calculus -- Methods of Proof -- Probability & Statistics -- Discrete Math -- Math for Machine Learning -- Machine Learning 1 (in development) We recently released a Differential Equations course as well, not shown in the image. There are plenty more courses on our radar and our knowledge graph will keep extending further and further each year.

@alxfazio check again, I just got 2 weeks for free? (20x plan) x.com/npm_startup/st…

anthropic, will i ever get back the tokens your bug made evaporate?

Is @AnthropicAI giving 2 weeks for free? Am I understanding this correctly?

NEWS: - Claude is down for a SECOND time today - Codex weekly usage reset for everyone

@levelsio sometimes bugs only show in production builds while it looks fine it localhost usually to do with server functions or other server related stuff

I never fully understood the build process because I've always coded without frameworks I always felt the faster I could see the code I just typed in action, the faster my feedback loop and the faster I can ship and improve my products Waiting even a minute to build would destroy that feedback loop and make me way slower I can do lots of mini edits and see each instead of batching them and then building!

@nikitajanockin @arvidkahl @levelsio @marclou There are people who know me IRL in my city who follow me People talk, and not all of them are immune to having bad intentions Or at least talking about me to people who aren't my friends and have nothing to lose The UK is a dangerous place and I've experienced it firsthand

@npm_startup @arvidkahl @levelsio @marclou i get your point and cant disagree, however you live in "terminal", bro..

I haven’t seen many MRR tweets as of late.

Yes I'm sure There's risk/reward There was a time late last year where levels removed all of his MRR stats for the same reasons I listed I'm a tiny account, telling people I make 55k every month will attract envy more than it will inspire people It's mostly status signalling, and where I live that can be dangerous especially when I don't benefit from the status it brings me

@npm_startup @arvidkahl how about @levelsio and @marclou doing that in public and inspiring people you sure there is no benefit in sharing that?

so it's currently hardcoded specifically for my PC i'll make it available on the weekend when I have time

@stolinski found that most of these paid ones inject random YouTube captions and links so I built my own one locally super fast, easy and accurate (and ofc free) x.com/npm_startup/st…

Is there anything as good as Superwhisper that is much faster and more reliable? I’m finding it to be a pain to use.

I used to pay for WhisperFlow... But last weekend, in less than 15 minutes, I built my own for free. Completly local and offline too... It's 100 times faster and 100 times more accurate than the paid models, and I don't pay a penny... I could share the repo if anyone's interested

@robinebers 100%, unless you sell directly to people here it's less than useless it's actively harmful bc we can't "unsee" things or "unfeel" emotions literally micro-plastics

I feel like I have to stop using X this shit does NOTHING (!) for my business it's all noise, all drama, and so very little signal it's wild feels like <1% of people actually built and shipped things rest is looking for excuses for why they haven't yet

how do I stop chatgpt from talking like this? - "first, stop" - "breathe" - "you're not broken" - "you're not wrong" - "and, honestly?" - "here's the truth" IT'S NOT THAT DEEP GPT, I JUST WANT A NORMAL CONVERSATION ABOUT A NORMAL TOPIC any tips?
