It doesn’t matter if open source software is developed by the CCP, the NSA, the Jews, ISIS, MAGA, ANTIFA, or the Illuminati.

It’s open source - just audit and run it yourself.

They can send me gold bricks too, as long as they’re at it.

People say using AI for coding lowers your comprehension. For me, it's been the exact opposite since October of last year.

I now have the understanding of 10 to 100 times more system, those that I previously knew nothing about.

It's an amplifier for learning, not a shortcut.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

There is nothing more powerful than well-informed optimism. It has to be well-informed though. The "everything will be fine" type of optimism may also be somewhat useful, but it's not as useful as the "Hmm, what if we tried x?" kind.

nice, 22.2B btw

At one point my son and his friend kept looking for shortcuts to getting rich. Over and over I told them the way to do it is just to make something people want. If this is what I tell my own kids about getting rich, why won't politicians believe this is how a lot of people do it?

Just be self aware from what you want from life, it can be anything

- to experience the most of life from food to travel
- to do your life’s best work, to bring progress to society
- to just be the best son/partner/parent

Everything is valid and worth it.

Engineering is all about optimism, when you actively seek out and put work into the “what ifs” of the world, magic happens.

[Dwarkesh Patel @dwarkesh_sp]

It is extremely hard for most people to accept that they're living through an unprecedented period of change, even when the evidence is clear.

When Isaac Newton analysed the society around him, he noticed that there were rapid advances being made all the time. But he couldn't believe it was real progress.

Instead he argued that the world must be regularly destroyed and re-created, and his contemporaries were just rediscovering old stuff.

This was more plausible to him than the idea that progress might be real!

[aj @ajaysusername]

I think it’s not said enough.

It's time to stop treating ai like a magic black box and start thinking of it as this new piece of very capable machinery to then apply it to a problem space that you can isolate.

I have to do this everyday, you should be too.

If you’ve been working with the Botpress ADK v1.7.0 or above, I’m curious about your feedback on evals, what do you link, what don’t you like?

[Theo - t3.gg @theo]

Zustand is officially more popular than Redux

[Chris K @chriskontz01]

Built Ultra-Research with @Botpress ADK for the Botpress ADK Competition. It searches Cyprus leasing providers live, grounds answers in a knowledge base, runs 3 specialist agents in parallel, arbitrates disagreement, and shows the full research pipeline in the UI. #botpressADK

[aj @ajaysusername]

@chriskontz01 @getbotpress Love to see this!

[aj @ajaysusername]

@tan_stack This is exactly what we’ve been doing at Botpress for 2+ years now

[aj @ajaysusername]

Going to start sharing more about my work, Buckle up

[aj @ajaysusername]

Yo can we slow down, I can’t keep up

[aj @ajaysusername]

@NeuroRider76 @r0ck3t23 Well said!

[aj @ajaysusername]

The answers to all question sits in the hands of 5 api providers, somebody else notice the problem with that?

I still love you though, keep doing you 🫶

[aj @ajaysusername]

@garrytan Ah that clears it up!
