I'm convinced life is just a giant game of connect-the-dots.

@dennishegstad @vercel If you treat your project as your own CRM in your AI app (like Claude), you can probably use CloudFlare’s free hosting for more than you’d think.

Where would you deploy and host a blog? I can't justify the @vercel usage costs for a simple blog I was testing some AI stuff with. $50+ a month in usage costs to deploy a blog without a CMS or any back-end is not interesting. Not a fan of webflow anymore... Where are you hosting blogs with +1000s of pages?

@SSAPv1_x @AravSrinivas Sorry, misread your question: I did not determine what caused the issue. Once it resolved I added a rule to never use agents to test for in-game mechanics and to wait for my confirmation.

@SSAPv1_x @AravSrinivas Only after it processed the queued message for each action the agent took while playtesting the game I'm making. ~30 minutes after testing to process every queued message. Ended up being ~400 more credits. Annoying, but not the end of the world with earlybird credits.

@AravSrinivas Computer has burned 4,000 credits (so far) because I tried stopping an agent while a message was queued, and not the queued message is firing for every action the agent did.

@BreatheLesss It works both ways: thinking and explaining abstract concepts+ ability to bridge ideas with simple language.

@TyBealPhD Makes sense, but my gut tells me the tubers category would shoot up the list if so!

@stevenkovar Not directly, but indirectly by fiber. We did our best to include important dietary attributes, but data limitations and practical considerations prevented us from including everything that we know matters for health.

I can't believe it took 2.5 years...but my paper on a new system for rating foods by nutritional value was finally accepted for publication! Nutrient-dense foods like fish, meat, and non-starchy vegetables top the list.

had a lot of very mixed feelings about work lately. i've been doing all of this for decades (👴) and realizing i kinda need to throw out most of what i've learned and processes i've used over the past 25 years. but to be honest, i'm struggling. i'm throwing so much at the wall and right now nothing is sticking. presumably the answer is picking something(s) and just focusing hard on them. but that's obviously no guarantee either (had plenty of failures over the years on things where i was all-in). this is the eternal entrepreneurial struggle though, right? there's just something about the current state of tech with AI that makes it all feel...different. i don't know. hard to quantify. part of me thinks the answer is to actually *increase* my output. try *more* things. make the feedback loop *faster*. but that also increases my anxiety. maybe my issue is that i'm afraid of committing. constantly throwing different things at the wall feels like experimentation. like i'm gather data. like i'm being productive. but committing to something and going deep on making it work...that means i could be wrong on a different scale. but not committing also means i'm potentially missing out on something truly succeeding (however it is i'm defining "success"). i don't know. lots of existential stuff going on in my head. if you read all of this. thanks. /end venting

when the music stops apple will be either be regarded as the smartest (ai is now a commodity, buy the milk not the cow save 10 trillion, pick the winner) or the dumbest (they sat out the most important technological race in history) theres no in between

Of course that's your contention. You're a first-time SaaS bear. You just got finished listening to some podcast, Dario on Dwarkesh, probably. Now you think it’s the end of white collar work and seat-based pricing is screwed. You're gonna be convinced of that til tomorrow when you get to “Something Big is Happening”. Then you’ll install ClawdBot on a Mac Mini, vibe code a dashboard on top of a postgres database and say we’re all just a couple ralph loops away from building a Salesforce competitor. That’s gonna last until next week when you discover context graphs, and then you're gonna be talking about how the systems of record will be disintermediated by an agentic layer and reposting OAI marketing graphics. “Well, as a matter of fact, I won't, because ultimately the application layer is just ….” The application layer is just business logic on top a CRUD database. You got that from Satya’s appearance on the BG2 pod, December 2024, right? Yeah, I saw that too. Were you gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us? Do you have any thoughts of your own on this matter? Or...is that your thing? You get into the replies of anyone posting a SaaS ticker. You watch some podcast and then pawn it off as your own idea just to impress some VCs and embarrass some anon who’s long SaaS? See the sad thing about a guy like you is in a couple years you're gonna start doing some thinking on your own and you're gonna come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life. One: don't do that. And two: you dropped thirty grand on Mac Minis and LLM API calls to come to the same conclusion you could’ve got for free by following a handful of VC accounts.

Spotify revealed that its top engineers haven’t written a single line of code since December, thanks to an internal AI system called “Honk” powered by Claude. The company shipped 50+ new features in 2025 alone, with AI now enabling real-time bug fixes and feature deployments straight from a phone during a commute, dramatically accelerating product velocity
