Travis Fischer

YOOOOOOOOOO stoked to announce the second batch @HackerResidency.. and it's even bigger this time! 12 founders, 6 weeks, 1 dope villa come lock in and BUILD with us all for *free* we provide: - luxury villa - up to $100k in funding 🔥 - free food, laundry, workspace - tons of AI credits - 1:1 mentorship w/ @tdinh_me + @transitive_bs + (secret)... & a demo day at the end w/ your own YC-style pitch our last batch ended up being wayyy more successful than we were expecting.. we had over a dozen product launches, 3 acquisition offers, ~30M X impressions, and most importantly, the VIBESSSS were fucking amazing 💪 so we had to double down && run it back

@wustep super tough PR :) github.com/NotionX/react-…

we didn’t think it was possible after multiple years of R&D, the technology is finally here

@wustep header_4 > sub_sub_sub_header 😂

@_jwngr lol i was just coming here to complain about this for react-notion-x 😂

The internal discourse around naming this new block `header_4` or `sub_sub_sub_header` was my favorite part of this launch. Choosing names that won't shoot you in the foot in a decade is hard. Don't let perfect stop you from shipping.

@DrDominicNg so... ai butt plugs are coming to other professions too?

Chess is 30 years ahead of every other profession in dealing with AI. The best case study we have for what's coming. 4 lessons: 1. Human-AI collaboration had a 15-year shelf life in chess. "Human in the loop" is a phase.

@zackhargett congrats bro 🔥🔥🔥

@transitive_bs Can I join?

@ankursharma1493 @floriandarroman both are dope! canggu, bali is the OG indie hacker mecca but other spots like chiang mai & da nang are right up there these days as well

@floriandarroman Well, after @transitive_bs rejected me for HRG 😭😭 He said that I should visit on fridays, and really planning to go there and meet everyone

I got invited to an OpenClaw Mastermind today. I drove through one little dirt path, crossed an asphalt road for 10 meters. drove through another little dirt path. I opened the door of a beautiful villa: - An health influencer with 4.1M followers. - A few other huge ones. - A guy who raised $30M with Y Combinator - A few SaaS Founders We talked about OpenClaw for a few hours. This is what I love about living in Bali: a big city vibe in a village.

@nzieber @transitive_bs

@bayramgnb @HackerResidency yoooo all filled up for this batch but we'll be running more in the future :)

Hey Travis, been dealing with some personal stuff for last few months since I heard about you and @HackerResidency, and just got back to building. Just found some promising niche problem that I’m passionate about and was thinking of applying to next batch. Looks like I’m a bit late considering you’re selecting only 10 founders and sent out 70+ interviews, is there any spot left? x.com/bayramgnb/stat…

update on @HackerResidency interviews: ✅ 500 submissions vetted 🤯 ✅ 20 interviews so far ✅ 50 more interview requests sent out to promising candidates (some of these are already scheduled; some will likely not respond) 🟥 400 rejected (will be sending out notices this weekend) really really strong builders this time around 💪 final invites will go out by end of the month!!

@sugarjammi @deepfates cc @horatioecthomas 😂

Sex is a very intimate and sacred act Your body is a temple and you shouldn't share it with someone who has a mac mini for openclaw

@FishAudio congrats on the launch 💪

Today we launch Fish Audio S2, a new generation of expressive TTS with absurdly controllable emotion. - open-source - sub 150ms latency - multi-speaker in one pass Real freedom of speech starts now 👇
