Give me one goal and I’ll make great progress, two goals I’ll do a pretty mid job on both, three goals I won’t do shit

Think regardless of whether it's SpaceX, the medium with which people interact with software is going to change. Typing is too slow

[Wall St Engine @wallstengine]

SpaceX reportedly showed investors an early prototype of a handset-like AI device, per WSJ.

The device is said to be slimmer than an iPhone, run on a proprietary OS, integrate xAI technology, and use a Qualcomm $QCOM Snapdragon chipset.

SpaceX told investors the project is still early-stage, the design could change, and it is unclear whether the device will ever be produced.

Claude getting me tight today

@rgvrmdya @karlmehta Hmmm... very cool if it works well. I'd still imagine getting good data is hard. Will check it out

[Matt Finch @matt__finch]

@rgvrmdya @karlmehta So you think you can embed a company’s knowledge into a massive model without doing a long initial data prep step and then many rounds of evals and iteration? And without it costing a ton?

@Just1Nathann_ I like this approach better. You can will an optimistic opinion on anything. You can convince yourself you’re behind or that this is the best time of your life

[Matt Finch @matt__finch]

@justinskycak I like this. What about reading, I’m slow af at it

[Matt Finch @matt__finch]

After a month of overthinking what to do with my life, I’ve decided the best thing for me to do right now is stop overthinking

[Matt Finch @matt__finch]

@RhysKentish Real, but everyone clones you if your original app becomes successful. Which is fine, but means what’s really most important is your marketing chops

[Matt Finch @matt__finch]

@benhatch44 Also rooting for you, keep going dude!

[Matt Finch @matt__finch]

There’s this Buddhist dude who has this idea of building a “kindness reflex” where if you think of a kind thing to do, just do it. Like if you think of paying for your friend’s meal, just do it

I’m kind of a piece of shit at heart and this has helped me become a kind person

@Fiction_1m Drink less idiot

@jeiting I prefer overthinking what to make and making nothing

[Matt Finch @matt__finch]

@gabriel1 Very hard to find such problems, but we’re looking

[Matt Finch @matt__finch]

@JoannaStern Whoever runs Siri is definitely resting and vesting, they really bricked the biggest layup. Could’ve just thrown GPT voice into it 2 years ago and been done with it

[Matt Finch @matt__finch]

@evisdrenova It’s so embarrassing, Apple is a joke

[Matt Finch @matt__finch]

AI still lacks anywhere near enough context for making good software design decisions. And if you don’t give it enough objective requirements, it’ll just make them up

E.g. I’m onboarding a model to a pipeline that runs offline and it’s trying to optimize for latency, idgaf about latency

[Matt Finch @matt__finch]

@rlsayar @TheChowdhary Figma would be hard af to vibecode

@SahilBloom Once I fixed my anxiety I started being late to everything non work-related
