declaring social bankruptcy!
as much as i love getting the chance to talk to interesting people here, it's often distracting.
i think it's time for me to study and find my north star.
brb.
started relearning maths from scratch after 5 years today.
>signed up to mathacademy . com
>gave a diagnostic test
>revising a lot of foundational stuff
>aim for 70+ XP everyday (~5-8 topics)

it's kinda hard to get cracked alone
so i'm building this!
36 days later, i wanna showcase 3 cool blogs & projects.

it was hard af to build an LLM app that:
- saved chat history
- had many agents + users
- could switch between diff LLMs
- used apps like slack, notion
so we built Julep;
it solved all our problems.

Sam Altman is sooo tired of these cringy sci-fi "is ai going to destroy the world" questions.
This event was so bad someone also asked something akin to "what if someone downloads and steals ChatGPT"
i wrote a blog post talking about how i made a dataset from openai's developer forum.
posted it randomly on hn
now it's on the front page 😌😌
(link in the comments!)
we're hosting a hands-on hackathon to build some cool agents.
free credits for openai, anthropic, gemini.
<100 ppl.
20 hours.
1-2nd june.

graduated from this cool online school called nights & weekends.
gave me a jump start to becoming a cooler person.
also pushed and guided me to make something w my own damn hands.
can't wait for january, S5
@davefontenot
pretty good actually.
i was afraid it'd make me study entire concepts where i did silly mistakes or where i forgot formulae.
but it actually checks for stability of knowledge too. (shading of blue)

Nous just hit 100+ users! 🟢🚀
It's been an insane journey,
From reading about how tf chrome extensions worked to having something a HUNDRED PEOPLE actually installed.
I spoke to many of them for some feedback.
Here are some of the most requested features for Nous so far:

hunting for a flat in 'uru has been extremely tiring;
but this view has made it worth the effort.
this couldn't have been possible without so many people willing to help my dumbass out! (you know who u are <3)
now that i'm placing some roots, i can't wait to give back.

it's 6.30am, time to build.
i think pen+paper >>> linear/jira/asana/etc.
wrote down all the things i wanted to build, took a step back and
then underlined those which i really needed

if i make an intention public, it's only fair to make my failures public too :P
still might do something cool w/ supabase[.]rocks though.
list out cool projects made by supabase,
maybe make a demo of all the supabase features?
glad af i didn't get ghosted 😅

anyone wanna do a virtual mini-hackathon together this weekend?
we'll sit and build from 8am sat - 12am sun, (ist)
also give each other feedback or be a wall to bounce problems off of.
i'm gonna be building a web scraping + embedding pipeline for my project.

one thing ive learned about most apartment complexes in india is,
you can literally just walk in to most of them if you just look confident enough.

Certificate Transparency Logs are pretty useful for gathering OSINT (subdomains, certificates, issuer, etc) data.
However getting JSON output from was quite limiting and scraping the website for the same is quite a chore, until i discovered:

life becomes a lot more fun when you start to think of it as an open-world RPG with mods on.

here's all the diff places ive sat down to work on - my idea.
so i made a discord server for Nous.
the idea is to address all the bugs/feature requests as well as share updates on the progress.
might shift over to slack if users prefer it though.
