I detected 2597 fake @JBLaudio speakers on second-hand marketplaces.

On Vinted 75.5% of "Flip 6" speakers are counterfeit🤯

In this thread I'll share my method and key takeaways.

Today I've been talking with a guy who's very much into AI and vibe coding.

He managed to say "sorry, what's a neural network ?"

Time flies

@itsrobert Come on they're not that bad :p

I'm spending a lot of time writing a Medium article named "How I trained an AI to find the best second-hand deals".

I hope people will feel the dedication I'm investing in it, I'm trying my best to put an interesting problem in the spotlight.

Hey Matt, glad to see you're doing well!

Congratulations for this challenge, and wish you all the best to keep it on the long run. It's never easy to change habits.

I also decided to go to the gym more frequently to be more in shape recently. It's been quite a while that I go, but I want to get better at running.

Actually, I believe I may have found a very powerful tool: the skipping rope. It's very cheap and extremely good for cardio.
When I think about the moments where I had the best running performances, it's actually when I had training sessions with 30 minutes running + 1000 jumps with skipping rope.
I think skipping rope is allowing me to develop my cardio that then helps me running better, which is very powerful for weight control. Being able to run a long time is very good to lose calories.

Good job for doing this, that's awesome!

I'm back

[Malrick Costantini @malrick_c]

I'm not publishing much nowadays. I'm still on Twitter thought!

On the side, I'm working on SEO:
- I made a list of easy keywords to rank on
- I found bloggers in my niche and reached out
- I found bigger websites offering guest posts
- I'm preparing a quality article on Medium

@mattdotam I think it would take suuuuper long for such a thing to happen. Market takes a while to adapt.

Wonder what would product give if you had a cluely integration

[Malrick Costantini @malrick_c]

@mattdotam 🚀🚀🚀

[Malrick Costantini @malrick_c]

@mattdotam I see! Indeed it sounds like a natural evolution.
Maybe there would be a way for you to surf on the Cluely vibe. You're also on the interview domain

@T_Zahil J'ai jamais vu de french hate. J'ai manqué quelque chose?

[Malrick Costantini @malrick_c]

@FiachraRM @mattdotam That's cool! What's your tiktok ? I'd love to check what you're doing

[Malrick Costantini @malrick_c]

@mattdotam Seem to be doing great, congratulations!

(I see you added subtitles and you are much more tonic, thats awesome!)

[Malrick Costantini @malrick_c]

@rayandabbagh You know numpy is the backend of pandas right ? :p

I pick pandas. It's way too useful for various usages, and I feel like I stopped using NumPy for computer-vision treatments. (low-level image manipulation)

[Malrick Costantini @malrick_c]

@mattdotam Are there some "standard" interview coaches that help people without AI ? I never heard of that

[Malrick Costantini @malrick_c]

@marklucovsky I feel like I'm always too busy dealing with too many things while cooking, adding a timer may just add another bunch of stress ahah.

[Malrick Costantini @malrick_c]

@marklucovsky @Tibls That seems delicious! Good job!

[Malrick Costantini @malrick_c]

@r4s0n3 "Intense fraicheur" lol.
Where are you from? :)

[Malrick Costantini @malrick_c]

@nftfren That's good and useful. Indeed I feel like LLMs are good to sum up interesting piece of conversations we had with them, and that's great.

[Malrick Costantini @malrick_c]

@MariusBuilds Thank you very much for the detailed review. Sorry for the delay, few last days have been quite packed.

I will be taking all your advices into consideration to improve this at the maximum. I wouldn't have been able to figure all of this myself, so thank you, I mean it.

[Malrick Costantini @malrick_c]

Hey! Sorry I'm taking a bit time to answer, last days were quite packed.

My idea was to see if there is a way to automate media creation / publication on different social media (not just TikTok), maybe creating media using Python.

Actually I made some first scripts able to automate this using n8n, and a tool named SuSocial for publication.

I'll give it a try and let you know!
