Your first attempt might not be very good, but nobody's early work is good. There will always be a gap between where you are and where you want to be. And the bridge between that gap is courage. The courage to look foolish in the beginning. The courage to show up again when your early work is criticized. The courage to look yourself in the mirror and say, "I realize I'm not good enough yet, but the only way to get better is to keep working on it."

Anthropic engineers just showed how they build a full app from scratch, using a loop of agents

40 minutes from the team behind Claude Code

they used three agents: one to plan, one to build, one to judge, cycling until the app actually works

the winners won't have the smartest model, they'll have the best loop

watch it, then read the full guide on how to actually use loops below

My favorite line from Atomic Habits has been living in my head rent-free:

“It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

Don’t sleep on the idea that visits you every day

[Electra @Electrarythm]

You will never outperform your self-image, this is one of the most important things ever said about human behavior and almost nobody understands what it really means, your self-image is the picture you carry inside your head of who you are, what you're capable of, what you deserve, and what's possible for you, and your entire life is just your nervous system executing the orders of that picture, you don't behave according to what you want, you don't behave according to what you say, you don't behave according to your goals, you behave according to who you secretly believe you are, and the gap between where you are and where you want to be is almost always the exact gap between your real self-image and the one you keep trying to talk yourself into.

The plastic surgeon Maxwell Maltz figured this out in the 1950s when he noticed that some patients, even after he fixed their face perfectly, still walked out of his office feeling ugly, and others with minor cosmetic changes walked out feeling brand new, the surgery didn't matter, what mattered was whether the internal picture had changed, and he wrote a book called Psycho-Cybernetics in 1960 that became the foundation of basically every self-development book that came after it, his point was simple, the brain operates like a guided missile that locks onto whatever self-image you've installed, and it will steer you, sabotage you, and bring you home to that image no matter how hard your conscious mind fights, you can win the lottery and end up broke again in two years if your self-image is "poor person," you can lose 50 pounds and gain it back if your self-image is "fat person," you can land your dream job and quietly destroy it if your self-image is "not good enough," because the brain experiences any mismatch between reality and self-image as a problem to be corrected, and it always corrects toward the image.

This is why goal-setting, willpower, motivation, and discipline almost always fail in the long run, they're all happening at the level of behavior while the self-image underneath stays exactly the same, you can't out-discipline a self-image, you can't motivate yourself past it for more than a few weeks before it pulls you back, the only real way to change your life is to change the picture first, and the picture changes through repeated vivid imagination, especially in the relaxed state right before sleep and right after waking, when the critical part of your mind goes quiet and the subconscious actually listens, you spend ten or fifteen minutes a day living inside the version of you you want to become, with full sensory detail, with the feeling of it already being true, you do that consistently for a few months and the internal picture genuinely shifts, and once the picture shifts the behavior follows by itself, no daily battle required, because now your subconscious is steering you toward a different home.

working with people who have high expectations of you is such a gift, because we are shaped by what others believe is possible for us. sometimes the most powerful thing someone can do is hold a higher image of you until you grow into it

Here’s your monthly reminder that you shouldn’t be prompting coding agents anymore.

You should be designing loops that prompt your agents.

I built myself a chrome extension called Pose

Any clothing model of any store becomes me.

Each brand still conveys their brand aesthetic, but I can quickly understand how something would look on me.

A mulher que construiu o ChatGPT saiu da OpenAI, ficou em silêncio por um ano, e o que ela acabou de lançar pode mudar pra sempre como você usa IA no dia a dia.

Mira Murati não fundou mais um chatbot. Ela foi atrás do problema que nenhum lab quis resolver: toda IA que existe hoje funciona por turnos. Você digita, espera. O modelo responde, espera. É tentar resolver uma crise por e-mail quando você poderia estar na mesma sala que a pessoa.

O que a Thinking Machines lançou hoje acaba com isso.

O modelo ouve, vê, fala, pensa e age ao mesmo tempo. Não é um pipeline costurado de componentes. É o modelo em si que foi treinado do zero pra funcionar assim.

→ Latência de 0,40s por turno. O padrão da indústria é 1 a 2 segundos.
→ Micro-turnos de 200ms intercalando input e output sem parar
→ Faz busca, usa ferramentas e gera interface enquanto conversa com você
→ Percebe quando você hesita e intervém antes de você pedir
→ Tradução simultânea em tempo real com as duas partes falando

A equipe: Mira Murati como CEO (ex-CTO da OpenAI), Soumith Chintala como CTO (criador do PyTorch), e contratações recentes da Meta em percepção multimodal.

O ponto técnico que vale gravar: eles citam o "bitter lesson" do Rich Sutton. Interatividade construída por componente externo sempre vai perder pra interatividade nativa ao modelo. Escalar o modelo o torna mais inteligente e mais colaborativo ao mesmo tempo.

822 mil visualizações em 4 horas. a16z comentando. Brasil dormindo.

Toda IA que você usa hoje vai parecer e-mail dentro de dois anos. E quem largou na frente dessa corrida não foi OpenAI, Google nem Anthropic.

Foi a empresa da mulher que eles deixaram sair.
