if you want Fable level performance NOW, the answer is to build your own coding harness
here's how I'm doing it
(in a lightweight Pi-native way rather than a heavy Superpowers/Compound clone)
first, I think we're going to see PERSONAL HARNESSES that derisk single model reliance, help users save money, and squeeze top frontier performance out of homegrown systems
The best engineers I know already do this...
1) Use Pi, the open source coding harness that you can make your own and access any model from
2) Set 5.5 codex as your default model
3) Deeply analyze publicly available system prompts (guess which model I looked at?)
4) Feed Codex context on Loop Engineering and other engineering skill repos
5) As it to improve efficiency as a lot of engineering repos are super heavy and bloated/slow
6) Ask it to use FUSION via Openrouter for planning, logic, and review tasks
7) Ask it to use Kimi k2.7 code for subagents/execution
8) Have it dog food the harness until it's dialed in then unleash it on a repo for a deep analysis
Zinc in the morning. Magnesium at night. Vitamin D with your first meal. Do it for 30 days and tell me your energy, your sleep and your mood didn't completely shift.
Don’t Worry and Hoe Phase are obviously bangers, but the entire Burning Bridges / National Treasure / B’s On The Table corridor of the Iceman album is just a jaw dropping display of defiance to the entire genre.
They really are all getting bodied by a singing 🥷
AI will disproportionately benefit ADHD minds because it externalizes the boring, parts of cognition like planning, sequencing, drafting, remembering, prioritizing and amplifies the parts ADHD minds often cook at: rapid association, novelty-seeking, pattern recognition, emotional intensity, and divergent synthesis
Cada día estoy más convencida de que uno de los mayores problemas de nuestra generación no va a ser el dinero.
Va a ser la soledad.
Cada vez veo a más gente de mi generación incapaz de mantener una relación, incapaz de comprometerse con nada y convencida de que siempre habrá algo mejor esperándoles.
Ya nada parece suficiente. Ni la pareja. Ni formar una familia. Ni tener hijos. Ni construir algo a largo plazo.
Todo tiene que ser perfecto.
Y en cuanto aparece el primer problema, la primera discusión o la primera incomodidad, se cambia de pareja.
Vivimos en la generación con más formas de conectar que nunca y, al mismo tiempo, en la generación que más sola se siente.
Porque nos han vendido que la libertad consiste en no depender de nadie. Que comprometerse es una carga. Que tener hijos es un problema. Que construir una familia te quita vida.
Y mientras tanto cada vez hay más gente que llega a los 45 años con cientos de contactos y absolutamente nadie a quien llamar cuando tiene un problema serio.
Lo peor es que muchos no se dan cuenta ahora.
Se darán cuenta dentro de 20 o 30 años.
Cuando los padres ya no estén. Cuando los amigos empiecen a hacer su vida. Cuando las fiestas ya no llenen. Cuando los viajes ya no tapen el vacío. Y cuando descubran que las relaciones humanas necesitan años para construirse.
A veces tengo la sensación de que estamos sacrificando compañía futura por comodidad presente.
Y quizá el gran problema no sea que vayamos a tener menos dinero que nuestros padres.
Quizá el problema sea que vamos a llegar mucho más solos.
⚡️“Being realistic” is often just obedience to the ceiling of the room you grew up in.
That image is a brutal reminder that the world is not calibrated around fairness, modesty, or middle-class pacing.
There are people operating in a completely different game: ownership, leverage, capital flows, private networks, access, status loops, timing, risk, and compounding.
Their lives are not built from being “reasonable.”
They are built from controlling assets, narratives, relationships, and bottlenecks.
But the deeper read is not “go chase yachts.”
That is the trap.
The yacht is the artifact.
The real thing is sovereignty over time, capital, and movement.
Most people are trained to be realistic because realism keeps them manageable.
Get the job. Save slowly. Don’t overreach. Don’t embarrass yourself. Don’t think too big. Don’t risk too much. Don’t talk like that. Don’t build something insane. Don’t act like you belong near the top.
Then once a year they see Monaco full of floating palaces and realize some people never accepted that programming.
The sharpest truth: the world rewards asymmetric belief when it is attached to execution.
Delusion without execution becomes cope.
Realism without ambition becomes quiet death.
The winning lane is neither fantasy nor submission. It is structural ambition: pick a game with uncapped upside, build leverage, own distribution, compound trust, take reputational risk, and keep moving long after normal people retreat into “that’s unrealistic.”
That image should not make someone feel poor.
It should make them angry at small thinking.
@ohryansbelt@paulg how do you say this with a straight face? kids in school are “backing themselves into a corner?” the adults and the society around them are not to blame?
Shaq and Jamie Salter are building a $40 billion empire!
I interviewed two legends in Beverly Hills, @SHAQ and Jamie Salter, and I asked them how they got RICH!
I asked them the number one thing they look for when finding a business partner and the best advice they’ve received in their career.
Lastly, I asked them for the best advice they’d give the younger generation.
Nobody tells first-time founders this: a detailed business plan doesn't get you any closer to having a business.
I know someone who spent 2.5 years planning a local service company. Zero customers.
Selling is the only real way to find out if you have something.
There is an embarrassing obliviousness that older married generations, including many millennials, have of the current dating market that makes their opinions on "appropriate" male-female relationships hard to take seriously
Dating today bears no resemblance to dating pre-apps, and even little resemblance to dating pre-COVID. Norms are broken beyond comprehension. There are no standards or expectations. It's a transactional meat-market where every other person has painful insecurities & intimacy issues that causes them to shut down authentic human interaction the moment they feel any discomfort (aka actual feelings). Behavior that a decade ago would have been considered a red flag is now ubiquitous.
Many people talk about the problems of meeting the opposite sex today, and these are salient, but I honestly think the biggest issue is how broken and jaded people are by the culture. There is a spiritual sickness that has infected people. The reasons people end budding relationships today are far more petty and superficial than they ever were before - many of them don't even make sense, because they're rationalizations of their own anxieties. People don't trust each other, and perhaps even worse, they don't trust the future. Most don't even really believe deep down they will find love, because they don't feel they deserve it, which creates a self-fulfilling prophecy.
To give a sense of scale, although the tech of 2015 was far closer to the tech of today, dating then was far more similar in essence to dating in 2005 or 1995 (maybe even earlier) than it's been to dating now. I have witnessed this shift both personally and professionally and it is frankly terrifying
Moralizing about "what's appropriate" or "what you shouldn't do" doesn't do any good when everything is broken. It's like telling people to not to jaywalk when the city's under aerial bombardment. I don't know what kind of society can maintain any credibility when a solid quarter of its women are dating guy after guy without commitment for years on end. This is not a year or two of experimentation or figuring stuff out, it's mindless casual sex and short term situationships for easily a decade or more with all the resulting broken pair bonding. You cannot just tell men to settle down exclusively when this is what they are dealing with. The incentives simply aren't apparent; especially because these men are broken too - either by the curse of too many options, or too few
I am saying this mostly to warn the already hitched crowd: while I'm a big fan of marriage and monogamy and its merits, because of all the above it is losing it's cultural dominance. That doesn't mean that the institution is inherently flawed, or that it "doesn't work" (which is cope that single and bitter people say). But it DOES mean that it is unlikely to be considered as the only viable option soon, especially to the under 30 crowd who have seen what it's like when there are no guardrails around sexuality. Many have grown up with horrors normalized - they've seen too much, and you can't just put the genie back in the bottle
So be prepared. We are now 3 generations in from the pill and no-fault divorce, and the downstream civilizational effects have finally metastasized. Norms that were considered self-evident for decades if not centuries are going to retested from first principles. Do not blame the cohort coming up for being creative in their attempts to solve the problems your generations created
Their lived experience is different than yours, and accordingly so will be their reaction.
Every woman who wants a successful relationship needs to understand male nature.
Men and women are not equal.
Men will:
• Stay silent when hurt.
• Think deeply but show less.
• Test loyalty through actions.
• Observe more than they speak.
• Lose interest when unappreciated.
• Avoid vulnerability as it’s high-risk.
• Stop explaining when misunderstood.
• Value peace of mind over attention.
• Distance themselves when disrespected.
Accept men as they are, not as you wish them to be ladies.
@hasen_95dx@AntiFeminismAU actually, she seems like a fantastic matchmaker, probably the most realistic i have ever seen speak on social media. there needs to be more like her.
@JayGenXer this might be the best price for beef in the entire Western hemisphere, outside of Brazil’s southern region. Why are Canadians paying 15 - 20X for similar cuts of meat? Why have we allowed this to happen to Canada?
@JayGenXer meanwhile, in Mexico … this price is in pesos, for top shelf high quality ribeye steaks at Carne Mart. Why Canadians haven’t revolted yet needs to be studied.
