We'll be spending a lot more time trying to understand the outputs of language models. A few thoughts, tips & tricks: Writing. Something I've had success with: Ask your LLM to explain something in ASD-STE100, it's a controlled language specification originally developed for aerospace maintenance documentation. LLMs well-versed in this language and it comes with heavy constraints on clean writing style that I often find a lot more readable. Sometimes I've tried to soften it a bit e.g. ask for "80% of the way to ASD-STE100" because the spec is quite stringent. But even better: Diagrams / images. Instead of writing, ask your LLM to create a diagram. These can be a lot easier to process, parse, and understand. But even better: Web pages. Ask for output "in HTML" to get a beautiful, interactive webpage. LLMs are getting really good at frontend and can create beautiful experiences, animations, etc. But even better: Explainer videos. The output format I am most bullish on is fully custom / bespoke explainer videos generated on any arbitrary topic. Experiment with things like "Create a 3b1b style video explainer on X. Use my ElevenLabs API key for audio narration". (you'd need an API key for the latter or you can ask your LLM to find you decent free alternatives that use your local compute). This is actually starting to work! In summary: - As LLMs get better, they will do more and more of the legwork autonomously, and a lot more of our work will rise up the abstractions into oversight and understanding. - Luckily, LLMs can help here too because as intelligence and code are increasingly abundant, you can ask for large, custom, discardable software artifacts (e.g. web apps, video explainers) that would have never made sense to create before. Push the boundaries here and you'll be surprised.

.@sama says the advice to pick one thing to build and pour all your focus into it no longer applies. "The canonical advice that was correct two years ago was, 'Pick one, and put all your effort into it, because you can't build all 30 things.'" "You can now build all 30 things. And you can get people to use them all. And you can work more on the ones that work." "So I think this mindset of lots of ideas, quick feedback, and being open to a lot of things not working is great for this new era for how people build."

I'm 29. Solo founder from Brazil, based in Barcelona. Looking to connect with more marketers & indie hackers!

@iptsai has acquired Talent Protocol, with support from @protocollabs. Builder Score is becoming a public good. Interplanetary Talent Services (IPTS) will receive part of our reputation data to match builders with roles across AI, crypto, hardware, life sciences and other frontier technologies. The Builder Score will live on as a public good, running locally in the browser, and using public data from GitHub and 4 blockchains. Every calculation can be verified and builders can publish their scores as attestations on @base. Together, they carry 5 years of work forward: → 6.6 million builder profiles and 86 million events indexed → More than $600,000 distributed through Builder Rewards → 116 builders from more than 15 countries supported through Talent House Talent Protocol will conclude commercial operations. The API, Talent+ and social channels will close at the end of August. The team is not joining IPTS or Protocol Labs, and $TALENT was not part of the acquisition. A deep thank you to every builder, team member, investor, partner and advisor who helped us build Talent Protocol. Read the full story and the Protocol Labs announcement in the replies. ⤵️

software engineering Q3 2026

update on @farcaster_xyz, @clanker_world and @neynarxyz we’ve started a process to look for a new home / team to run the products going forward. earlier this year, this seemed to be a good fit for our team: it was a developer-first network, and we'd been serving developers from the start. There’s been a lot of change since then and we’re not the right fit for what’s needed next. talking to a few teams we think could be a good fit for running decentralized social apps and related developer products. If you’ve thoughts / are interested, reach out. our company will return its balance sheet (most of it remains) and team members will move on to something new. this is not a decision we made lightly. I’m optimistic that with this next iteration, Farcaster will find its long term fit. it’s loved enough that it’s unlikely to simply perish - thanks to all of you, and lindy-ness.

There's been times when I couldn't stop: > eating > scrolling > working > watching > wherever It feels awful. A miserable existence. Our society is a predator prey relationship. Companies make money and become rich when they convince us to do things that we can't stop. This is a guide to fight back. My resting heart rate is my Sovereignty Index. It measures whether I am a slave or sovereign relative to the powers around me world. Whether I’m ruled by my impulses or the ruler over them. This past month, my RHR has averaged 41 bpm. It’s my best ever 30 day average. It’s less about the absolute number and more about what it represents. A low RHR is a clinical proxy for high vagal tone which is the metric of parasympathetic dominance and physiological self regulation. It’s taken me years to master the daily habits that enable this. A low resting heart rate before sleep is magic: > better sleep > stronger recovery > improved will power > clear headedness > happier life I speak about RHR because it’s the single number that captures modern society. Everything “normal” today increases a person’s heart rate before sleep. It’s slavery camouflaged as ambition, relaxing, and “living life”. 24/7 work, eating before bed, scrolling, binge watching, vaping, late night debauchery, red eye flights…People mistakenly confuse these things as being admirable and a rite of passage. Don’t be fooled by this. This is a cultural mistake that will be corrected in time. The coming years will look back and see the foolishness of it. Most of you reading this are in a state of chronic sympathetic overdrive, burnout, anxiety and depression. That's the state of society today. 88% of Americans are metabolically unwell. Sometimes though, that's because you have a new born, are caring for an aging parent, are fighting a health problem, or are in some other challenging situation. I remember feeling helpless with three children under 6. For those of you in a tough spot, I feel you. For those of you who have the freedom to make decisions, this is for you. And for those of you in the tough spots, maybe these things can be helpful for you too. Master these habits and everything in your life will be better: > final food four hours before bed > screens off 60 min before bed > same bedtime every night > a wind down routine: reading, walking, hobby > final caffeine by noon > red and amber lights in pm, no blues It's the end of the day that get's most people. It's when your will power is lowest and stress is the highest. We reach for things that soothe but they end up causing us self harm. The habits outlined above are designed to be a check against the version of you that is stressed out and overwhelmed, and not in the best state of mind to make good decisions. Deciding on what you will do before that version of you take charge may help you wrestle the upper hand to start living the life you want.

it’s the greatest time in history to be
