90’s kid doing software development 💻 have a thing for automation, it’s satisfying 😌 curious about what we can do with AI 🤨

When to "Rent" (Buy): For commodity workflows that cost less than a dinner, just buy it. Don't give up your autonomy. Buy back your time.

When to "Own" (Build): Save engineering energy and automation for the things that give your work its uniqueness and competitive advantage.

Tried creating some automation scripts today for a couple of ideas and quickly reminded after a few hours of wrangling that sometimes it's just better to pay for a tool that does the same.

It's a decision about whether you should own the tool or just "rent" one.

@latent0x I wonder how this could potentially also help in solving thermal management issues that transistor based computing runs into

[Sunny Singh @SunnyChopper]

Got a 3D printer (Bambu Labs P1S) for the holiday sale and it’s sparked an interest in CAD with Fusion 360.

Cool to see best practices of software dev carry over (naming properly, constraint driven development, etc.)

Made this phone stand as a “hello world” into CAD.

@levie Most definitely. Trying out new AI tools and seeing which can benefit processes is a discovery skill worth tons.

@dvassallo Something like this:

Social apps that operate on interest graphs are among the hardest to activate users (specifically, to create a relevant timeline for new people). You can't simply "import contacts" to have a great feed. And if it's text-based like Reddit or X, the algorithm can't learn from subtle interaction clues in the same way a full-screen video app can, like TikTok.

X is pretty magical for those with great timelines but for outsiders, they have no idea that virtually every niche interest is represented here. Whether its strip mall operators or consumer app builders, there's a community for everyone.

It should be obvious that this friction will be short-lived: AI can now understand text and users will be able to prompt their interests in ways that were never possible with keyword search.

When this happens, X communities will no longer be subcultures of their broader community—but they will simply be that community. For this reason, investing in building your network here probably has the greatest upside of any app.

@dvassallo Agree with this. I can still see AI being used to find posts and conversations that might be worth jumping into, but you still have to make genuine replies.

Call of Duty: World at War and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare are showing up in the PC Xbox Store search results as “Included with Game Pass,” but are not available on the service yet.

And the plasma that goes into these reactors can reach up to 150 million Celsius, 10x the core of the sun.

[Sunny Singh @SunnyChopper]

Found a post about stellarators and tokamaks, never heard of them, but they’re related to nuclear fusion energy and it’s pretty insane tech.

So far, what I get is the main idea is to control magnetic fields to control hot plasma that causes fusion reactions to happen. 🤯

Once self driving is perfected, it would be cool that we get an advanced voice model that allows us to talk to the car.

“Brake more smoothly because I’ve got stuff in the back.”

If there was some way to convert mass into energy using some convoluted quantum principles, we could turn all the trash in the world into an energy source, solving two problems at once. That’d be awesome.

It's funny that:

* Cursor is fundamentally a UX innovation
* Cursor doesn't necessarily direclty change the data going into/out of a model
* Most of the comments I see about it are about how much better the data is.

There's a lesson in there.

[Sunny Singh @SunnyChopper]

@ZssBecker Both over- and under-hyped, especially text-based LLMs.

Overhyped as AI agents capable of achieving vague goals.

Underhyped as a new dev building block, an all purpose language engine. Just scratching the surface of what can be built with LLMs.

@ramzpaul Paradox of business. Focus on short-term profits lead to long-term losses. Chasing money makes the money go away.

[Alex Becker 🍊🏆🥇 @ZssBecker]

In about 2-3 years SOLO founder will be able to completely build & bring to market high level SaaS or video games with AI.

We will see the first 2-3 person billion $$ companies.

You should be white pilled AF and learning as much as you can. It's a dream turned reality.

[Sunny Singh @SunnyChopper]

@H2Multiplayer This sucks. At least they did this before the mod released and everyone put in the 2 hours on MWR. Refund definitely taken.
