It's easier on bigger screens.

Even if you’re not typing every line, training the models, or inventing all the wheels, you’re still shaping systems, combining concepts, setting constraints, and ensuring outcomes.

AI is the camera. You’re the photographer. You're still an artist. You're just not painting anymore.

Photographers are considered artists even though they don’t paint the picture, don’t create the subject, and didn’t invent the camera.

They’re valued for framing, lighting, timing, and taste. If they know what they want, they can make the camera capture it.

Programming is the same.

Curiouser and curiouser! How do you incorporate Figma and Webflow into this?

Could be marketed as a modern, minimalistic window manager for builders. Does it currently support Linux at all?

So it's like a tabbed tiling compositor with it's own native browser, terminal and editor?

I've been writing something related to social media, and the more I work on it, the more I'm convinced that BlueSky is currently the best platform and it's not even close.

Twitter/X will probably shadownban me for praising BlueSky in a tweet πŸ˜†

Looks interesting. And so does Co(Lab)! I wish the website had screenshots though. I'm curious to see what the UI looks like but I'm too sleepy to set it up.

At this point, I think I need a now page on my website just so I myself can keep track of all the things I'm supposed to be doing.

I signed up and took a look. I think the "new idea" form is a little overwhelming and intimidating.

Maybe you can start with a freeform input where the user can concisely describe their idea. Then you can intelligently prefill this form and the user can then just make changes?

I also remember noticing that the theme actually used to add certain functionality and was more than just a reskin. However, I can't quite remember what said features were.

I also remember that the theme used to change the experience so drastically that some effects were permanent and nothing but a reinstall could fix it.

When I was young, I actually used to install an IE8 theme on what was either Firefox or Opera or both.

Why choose Mastodon over BlueSky? We could use an account like yours to make this place better.

I think Android needs a quick settings toggle for the proximity sensor.

Seems to be a lazy day for my whole city. I woke up after 10 when I usually am already eating breakfast by 7-9.

Reached the gym around 1230 as opposed to the usual 8-10 and turns out that my friends who arrive around 12 are yet to reach.

Also, the gym is so empty today there's like 4 people.

Bonjour, mes amis !

No, It was much simpler. A kind of acceptance. I still have regrets, but for a moment there, I felt better. Maybe I have healed by a tiny, insignificant amount.

Yes, I ended up skipping leg-day once again but this time I had a good reason. Perhaps, the only correct reason.

myself than I'd walked in with.

Talking to him about my past hadn't just been insightful for him but it was also a reminder that maybe I’ve done more right than I give myself credit for.

I didn't feel overly energised or motivated. I didn't feel a wave of self-love or invincibility. [↓]

I could see he was someone with great potential trying to make each day count, learning as much as he could from everyone he could look up to. I'm flattered to even be one of them.

We both left the gym really impressed with one another. But more importantly, I left the gym with more respect for [↓]

when you're living in Pakistan.

He said he'd been working on his AI based startup for generating ads.

Well, that's the only correct answer to "Why did you take a gap year?", I thought.

Over the next 30 minutes, we talked a lot about both of our life choices. He asked some great questions. [↓]

Today was leg day. But after 3 sets of squats, the teenager sharing the squat rack with me asked me for advice.

He told me he's an A-Level student, inclined towards a business degree, at my alma mater, and that he took a gap year for exposure.

That's what college is about, I said, especially [↓]

Interesting. So does it scrape engagement from the provided posts or does it find similar posts.

And what does it give you?

Thanks. I think I'll be watching ReBoot soon.

So we're feeding in ICP data and then in turn it's scraping LinkedIn?

That's interesting. Have you documented the process yet? I'm curious about the lead generation part of it.

Today, I can finally afford to buy actual figures and I own a couple of knockoff Optimus Primals (Original form and Transmetal 2), one Yolopark Primal from the recent movie and a handful of McDonald's transformers x Toy story figures.

Apologies for bombarding your post I just got excited hehe.

The whole world of transformers lore and franchises that I had previously had zero exposure to.

I used to make my own action figures using matchboxes, empty bottles, toothpaste caps, straws and paper even. [↓]
