i'm obsessed with AI DIY projects.
my favorite one right now is this broccoli farmer in hokkaido, japan using Codex to run his 100-hectare farm
this guy never studied agriculture, never inherited land, started out as a civil servant.
but he wanted his farm to run better, and instead of paying an engineering firm he couldn't afford, he just built the tools himself.
here's what he's built on his own:
> remote control of his greenhouse vents from a chat app, wired up with an esp32 board, a motor driver, and cloudflare workers
> a bot that checks each greenhouse's temperature and opens the vents when it gets too hot
> satellite crop-health data laid over a map of his own fields
> an airtable base linking his plots, tasks, materials, and sensors
> wiring diagrams of his electrical panels, generated from a photo
stuff like this used to be locked behind machinery and engineers only the big agribusinesses could pay for.
but this legend just breezed past all of it with a laptop and Codex lol
MAKE THIS COMEBACK PERSONAL
Become arrogant. Redemption arc. Apology to yourself. The feeling of revenge. Everything or nothing. Now or never. Tired of misery. Others will think you’re a psycho. Mediocrity always disgusted you. Desire to be the best. Impossible to lose. All In. People doubt you. You’ll show up completely new. Success is your proof.
Even after the darkest night, the sun will rise with its brightest rays. So should you.
Take full responsibility for your life.
Because in the end - it always works out.
Just In: A major bug in Meta AI allows any account to be suspended and prevents users from successfully appealing the suspension. This affects WhatsApp, Instagram, Threads, and Facebook. It works on all platforms.
All you have to do is repeatedly report the account for fraud and scams multiple times. Meta and its developers are ignoring this issue. It’s been going on for weeks, and nobody at Meta is doing anything about it.
We expect better support from them, along with an instant unban option — or at least bring back the old appeal forms!

Phishing and social engineering are getting more sophisticated at an exponential rate due to AI.
Proton just let a phishing email go through to my inbox that I think will compromise tens of thousands of folks.
How it seems to work: someone added my email to a real Google Group. They then sent out a message to all members of the group with subject line "Your Google data has been exported."
Obviously this will cause many people to panic. The email went through to my inbox because it came from a legit google group from a legit Google URL.
All links in the email look totally normal – unless you look at the link for "Cancel request" button. But amazingly this one also seems to come from a genuine Google URL – a URL shortener from Google! goo[dot]gl/XXXXX (not putting the real URL here).
Then it takes you to (1) a Recaptcha screen and then (2) a genuine looking Google account login screen. It's hosted on a Google site (sites[dot]google[dot]com) so everything looks legit.
Because all links are technically hosted by Google, this is very very bad.
breh i spent the last year grinding ICPC, EDA optimization, comps, working on my paper for algorithmic game theory while in school
now im spending my summer playing marvel rivals & league lol & just focusing on my fitness
no summer internship (i was a bum and too lazy to do interviews) so coding wise i make AI study slop app and optimize someone's porn site for real time needs lul
@xxxmourn stalked ur acc cus i was reminded of the goat while i was trying to RE some guy's go program
didnt expect to find that we both worked on stuff related to quant lol
sf has tons of free events but they're buried across funcheap, eventbrite, reddit, random instagrams. i'm always looking for something fun to do in sf and i'm sure you are too!

Everyone needs to hear this: If you want to love your life again, you need to stop being too harsh on yourself and give yourself the time you personally need to evolve.
Always remember that nothing is hard, it is just new. So the only thing you have to do is not quit.
Never kill your dreams my friend and do not forget to use your creative energy.
