@TihoBrkan Hi Tiho, agree with your statement, I've been keeping journals for a while now and it pays off. What do you use for trading journaling? Recently I've started building a tool that natively supports this usecase, so keen to learn what problems you have if any.

@luisc @EU_Commission A small trick I've learned: it all starts to make sense if you replace democracy with buerocracy

[Denis Darkin @dvdarkin]

Hey founders! Anyone building in digital image/photography space? Interested to learn what you're working on. I was amazed how much is now possible in image understanding/analysis domain. Writeup on my dev experience if you're keen: https://t.co/pjU1F0RW62

[Denis Darkin @dvdarkin]

I've rebuilt my portfolio site (again): 20 years of photo journey, 1500+ images, all in one place. Heavy use of LLMs (both frontier and local) for coding and image analysis https://t.co/K5T6EgmI9C

@Bluntz_Capital Which means enrichment plays are getting repriced e.g. LEU was trading at something like 46x P/E pre correction

[Denis Darkin @dvdarkin]

@Bluntz_Capital It seems that uranium has the same structural chokepoint as rare earths: processing e.g. Russia controls > 40% of refining capacity meaning that you're betting on political outcomes not only supply/demand dynamics.

@unclebobmartin @unclebobmartin the idea has been sitting with me for a few months so I've done some knowledge distillation to figure out what is durable vs. flavor of the day: https://t.co/vbKbWcb5JJ Having read your work years ago, keen to see what you think and what you'd change.

@NVIDIAGeForce FYI GPU-poor peeps: win probability is near 0. Solid engagement farming though. DLSS 4 tech looks interesting too. PRAGMATA RTX

@GergelyOrosz agreed. I'm experimenting with creating skills for agentic AI to be able to achieve some of UX-pilledness, Benji Taylor one is done more to go https://t.co/AIHLLCa2iZ

[Denis Darkin @dvdarkin]

Hello builders! Elon hired Benji Taylor as X's new Design Lead. I researched his UX philosophy and built a Claude Skill that evals your designs against his 6 core principles: https://t.co/eZtewMZPJm
Look for benji-taylor-design-eval skill

[Denis Darkin @dvdarkin]

Point it at your product and get a structured critique per dimension: what works, what tension it reveals, and one concrete fix.

[Denis Darkin @dvdarkin]

The 6 principles:
-Progressive Disclosure - complexity when needed
-Fluidity - motion communicates state
-implicity/Fluidity/Delight — all present
-Craft - edge cases get equal care
-Trust - high-stakes actions unambiguous
-Accessibility - novices & experts coexist

[Denis Darkin @dvdarkin]

The tool is available as CLI to scan, mask, and vault files from the command line or CI pipelines, as well as library that can be wired directly in your application to shroud data on the fly - show original values in a UI while persisting only masked content to disk.

[Denis Darkin @dvdarkin]

GM startup people! Just wanted to share an opensource tool I've built which you may find useful if you expose sensitive data to AI tools: https://t.co/qIoYozf9Mj - Scans markdown files for sensitive patterns and masks them, while storing originals as encrypted file

[Denis Darkin @dvdarkin]

Masking the original values retain metadata, e.g. instead of an IP, crypto addr or a value AI agent would see [IP:18a4d818], [ADDR:a3f1b2c4] or [AMT:c59a58a0] which means reasoning is still possible but actual values are hidden and only exist as references to encrypted data.

@SantiagoAuFund I wonder what happened in 2009

[Denis Darkin @dvdarkin]

@TripleNetInvest @PeteWargent 800K+ per room sounds pretty steep

[Denis Darkin @dvdarkin]

@TripleNetInvest cc @PeteWargent I wonder what the avg could be for capital city hotels in AU

[Denis Darkin @dvdarkin]

@PeteWargent that makes sense, thanks. given there is a construction bust and not too many cuts planned, it's probably not going to happen again, although demand from population growth may factor in
