✨ I think I've been coding almost solely on my VPS with Claude Code for almost a year now

All I can say it's just fantastic:
- no need to keep laptop open ever
- no laptop battery drain
- can switch to phone or any other device you like whenever you want to continue (like when you're outside)
- it just keeps going all night while you sleep (esp with /goal)
- you can start hacky projects from scratch and go live in seconds because you're already on the server which is great to ship things and get it used by people fast (not stuck on your local laptop webserver)
- it just feels like living in the future

I used to code on my laptop, test locally, then push to GitHub, then it auto pulled and deploy to production, that'd take me ~1 minute to get a new feature out

But then when I bought a new Mac Book Pro a few years ago I was too lazy to install a local Nginx environment, so I just started pushing to prod and everything went fine, and I sped up deploying to about 3 seconds from laptop to server, which people called me crazy for too

But now with Claude Code on my VPS in the last year, it just live edits on my production server, which sounds like it should go wrong but it just doesn't, it's very careful and only twice in 12 months messed up which meant my site didn't load for 10 seconds which is OK

If I wasn't working solo, like at a big company, I' think I'd recommend the same workflow but with a staging server, so it wouldn't touch production, for safety and regulatory reasons etc. but for me it's fine

I agree with @theo completely, it's clear to me this is where it's going, also seeing @karpathy with Claude moving to the cloud (via Slack etc), I think AI "agents" and AI coding will operate on servers / from the cloud first

P.S. I have 3-2-1 backups, multiple on-site and off-site backups which you should also even if you wouldn't code with AI, safety first!

tweeting is easy. just write down every thought you have in your drafts (no matter how stupid).

if your mind naturally comes back to one, flesh it out a tiny bit & post it.

remarkably simple.

don’t worry about looking like a dumbass. life is too short & no one really cares that much.

the only real trick to being interesting is having an active mind.

[CITIUS MAG @CitiusMag]

💰The IOC has announced a historic $140 million “Fit for the Future Olympian Grant” fund that will make $10,000 grants available to every Olympic athlete starting with the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Games.

This is the first time in Olympic history that direct financial support has been made available to all competing athletes. This is explicitly not prize money.

IOC President Kirsty Coventry called the grants "a topic of conversation for many years" and expressed pride in finally delivering them despite recently facing mounting criticism from athletes for opposing direct Olympic prize money.

kinda ridiculous how much of modern life now runs through one pocket computer, which now has intelligence built right into it.

comms. relationships. work. money. maps. photos. rent. rides. food. dating. identity. all of it mediated through one small slab of glass.

if you lose your phone for even few hours you basically become a medieval peasant at this point.

[How To Prompt @HowToPrompt__]

A toothpaste company has quietly killed the entire market research industry and nobody is talking about it.

Colgate published a paper showing you can predict real purchase intent at 90% accuracy by simply asking LLMs to roleplay customers.

And this is beyond insane.

If you ask an AI, "Rate this product from 1 to 5," it gives safe, middle-of-the-road garbage.

So researchers invented a method called Semantic Similarity Rating (SSR).

Instead of asking the AI for a number, they asked it to roleplay.

They gave the LLM a demographic profile. They showed it a product concept. And they asked it to write down its raw, unfiltered thoughts.

Then, they used a semantic model to translate those written thoughts into a numerical score.

The results are staggering.

Tested against 57 real corporate surveys and 9,300 actual human responses, the synthetic AI consumers matched real human buying behavior with 90% reliability.

They perfectly mirrored how different age brackets and income levels react to price changes.

And they provided detailed, qualitative feedback that was deeper and more critical than what actual humans wrote.

This destroys the economics of traditional market research.

You don't need to wait a month to see if a product will sell.

You can simulate 1,000 hyper-targeted customer interviews overnight.

You can A/B test pricing across every demographic instantly.

in today's keynote, apple produced this really interesting graphic that ironically outlines the core mechanics for a new type of operating system (for perhaps a new class of devices).

you can see how this moves the world from an app based ecosystem to an intent centric world.

i.e. you roughly do not need third party applications in this world at all esp when ai has the ability to construct & deconstruct interfaces / experiences on demand.

[signüll @signulll]

building & iterating or even using a model feels less like engineering & more like taming a wild animal. or maybe a dragon or something.

i.e. you don’t really control it. you obviously train it, you observe it, you maybe provoke it, ofcourse reward it, contain it (safety), then you slowly learn its temperament. you do this with new pets too. but this is all with insanely large levels of intelligence.

one very large difference is that the model also starts to *trains you*.

[Unseen Japan @UnseenJapanSite]

A 2024 Japan Tourism Agency survey found that 11.8% of inbound visitors cited anime or film locations as a reason for travel. The practice, called seichi junrei or pilgrimage to sacred places, now sits inside a 700 billion yen otaku market driving regional branding strategy.

Bloom (@trybloomai) is the brand layer for agents. It turns your brand into infrastructure that any agent can call to produce on-brand assets.

Congrats on the launch, @rincidium!
