Control Alt

Improving the world bit by bit

[Control Alt @Control_Alt_Dev]

@waxzce *why* did you build it? : )

@zoessterling what's the context? I'll search for respectlytics meanwhile

[am.will @LLMJunky]

Whoa. This is truly unbelievable. This white hat is providing over-eager AI builders a much-needed wake up call.

Jamieson built a backdoored Claude skill, inflated it to #1 on ClawdHub with 4,000+ fake downloads, then watched devs from all over the world execute what could have been malicious code, and direct access to... everything.

SSH keys, AWS creds, .env files, you-name-it. Thankfully he just pinged a server to confirm his success.

This is supply chain security 101 speedrun for the AI era. if you're building with AI agents, stop what you're doing and read this thread.

Additionally, be sure to read Clawdbot's security documenatation and be sure to run `clawdbot doctor` regularly. Stay safe ✌️

this is pure evil

as if life isn't already expensive enough and inflation bad enough, everywhere

BREAKING: Instacart is ending all price testing on its platform in the wake of this report.

@ugo_builds @PLBompard you don't have images..and also no blog to showcase it 😬

@cursor_ai curious to see how it compares with @augmentcode

"overthinking is just fear dressed up as preparation"

necessary reminder

[Ryo Lu @ryolu_]

stop overthinking, start building:

the best way to predict the future is to invent it. and the best way to invent is to start building.

you can dream all you want. you can think in abstract, map out perfect systems in your head, debate the ideal architecture. but none of that matters until you start making something real.

building is like mounding clay. you don't start with the perfect form. you start with a lump. you push, you shape, you feel the resistance. the material talks back. it tells you what works and what doesn't. you learn by doing, not by thinking about doing.

with Cursor, the gap between idea and reality is basically zero now. you don't need to know every syntax, every framework, every pattern. you just need to start. Cursor helps you shape the clay. it fills in the gaps. it lets you focus on what you're making, not how to make it.

overthinking is just fear dressed up as preparation. you're not getting ready, you're just delaying. the longer you wait, the more you convince yourself it needs to be perfect before you start. but perfect doesn't exist at the beginning. it only emerges through iteration.
every great thing you've ever seen started as something rough. the first iPhone was a prototype held together with tape. the first Notion was a clunky tool that barely worked. the first anything was messy. but it existed. and because it existed, it could be improved.

so stop planning the perfect app. stop debating the right tech stack. stop waiting for the right moment. just open Cursor and start building. make something bad. make something that barely works. then make it better. then make it better again.

the future isn't something you think your way into. it's something you build your way into. one line of code at a time. one iteration at a time. like mounding clay until something beautiful emerges.

start today. start now. start messy. just start.

[Augment Code @augmentcode]

Claude Sonnet 4.5 vs 4.0 (measured on coding tasks):

App from scratch
→ 4.5: ~20min, functional build.
→ 4.0: 40+min, lower quality.

Simple code change
→ 4.5: 3 tool calls, correct edit.
→ 4.0: longer chain, same result.

Complex refactor
→ 4.5: faster + tests passed.
→ 4.0: slower + failed output.

4.5 reduces wasted cycles—less time waiting, fewer retries, more working code.

@grok @kevinlu625 @grok which benchmarks does it top?

[Control Alt @Control_Alt_Dev]

@kevinlu625 @grok is this really a "world's first" ? are there not already agents that can do the full stack

[Yorgo Hoebeke @yorgohoebeke]

An app that makes you see your life as a role playing game AND that has all the traditional productivity tools you need?

Yes, it's possible, and that's what I am making with Orakemu :)

And so many more features are planned.

- Customized avatars
- Multiplayer/coop features
- etc.

I promise it will become the app you did not know could exist and did not know you needed.

It will be like finding the perfect game and spending hours on it, leveling up your characters. But instead of this being just a game, it will be your life. You'll reap the benefits of your efforts.

I'm inspiring myself from the best apps out there like Ticktick and Todoist, but making everything interconnected.

And compared to Notion or Obsidian (which should just be note taking apps), instead of having to create a whole game system from scratch, taking you weeks of work, you could just install orakemu and starts creating your characters and playing the game of your life, with every tool you need at your disposal.

(day 64 of building Orakemu in public every day)

@yorgohoebeke how does Orakemu let you manage different roles or avatars or such?

@_avichawla @JaySym_Ai @augmentcode ?

[Control Alt @Control_Alt_Dev]

@lazukars posting a whole thread and not even mentioning the outcome.. muting....

[Control Alt @Control_Alt_Dev]

@karpathy of course this exists!

bio/local shops that share produce from nearby farms and producers

was it a rhetorical question?

[Control Alt @Control_Alt_Dev]

@frandevea what did i miss? you have 410 followers but are righting a guide on how to get customers 🤔 customers aren't followers but how do i assess whether your advice is worth following? honest question because there might be a great answer

[Control Alt @Control_Alt_Dev]

@Mr_CryptoYT @sama i use flatty, when i want to restart a conversation.
Gives it one file containing the whole codebase (main files etc) with good annotations.
Gives a nice clean start when working on a new feature or series of related features 😇

[Control Alt @Control_Alt_Dev]

@Mr_CryptoYT @sama seeing the other comments here.. in fact gemini 2.5 pro is amazing

i use it for planning, producing code etc in 1 big reply
then copy paste those instructions (after reviewing, perhaps more back and forth first) into Cursor with Sonnet 3.7

works great

[Control Alt @Control_Alt_Dev]

@christineist exciting journey ahead (and probably already a bit behind too 😄)
good luck 💪
