👋 We’ve been working on something new & we’re finally ready to let people play with it. It’s an “app for AirPods” called BeeBot – think of it like a social city guide emceed by an AI-powered radio DJ. I wrote a giant blog post (manifesto!) about it here: dens.medium.com/say-hello-to…

Meet miniboop; I spent 10 min to build a boop.fun clone using @poofnew, try it out here! 7a382233-59ff-4e77-ad71-484f… I'm a big fan of the viral mechanic boop had of launching a token on their platform being how you claim their airdrop, and this is a basic version with a similar mechanic made simple in poof.

Want to launch a token, a staking pool, or a fun app for your community on @solana? What if you could do it without writing a single line of code? Meet Poof (Poof.new) - vibe coding to turn an idea into a dApp.

two types of failure: elegant failure: full initial commitment, little to no hesitation in taking action, recognition when it's not working, graceful pivot without falling into too much guilt/shame, always keeping a sense of abundant options awkward failure: half-hearted commitment, belated & hesitant action, clinging to the possibility of success even as it slips away, beating yourself up for every mistake, believing this was "the one chance" moving more towards elegant failure requires changing our relationship to both our fear & our shame... and embracing less judgement & more love

i'm happily married 10+ years with a wife and son who love me and i have none of that shit together lol. this is the "shiny lure" class of advice i was talking about. ime the only thing you actually need in a relationship is to know/learn how to relate to each other healthily
my hot take is i don’t think anybody should be dating until their shit is together. eating healthy, working out regularly, having a morning routine, a spiritual practice, a therapist, financial discipline. things like that have to come first.

🥳 Freeplay is now open to all in a public beta! We’ve built an end-to-end platform to transform how product teams build with LLM‘s. From seed to public companies, everyone using an LLM in their product wants it to be consistent, compelling & affordable. Freeplay can help.

Broke: using OpenAI embeddings as-is. Bespoke: learning an embedding projection from human judgements. OpenAI explains that this will "better emphasize aspects of the text relevant to your use case. In binary classification use cases, we've seen error rates drop by ≤ 50%."

Lots of "how to build with LLM" content for developers, but not enough for PMs. We've talked to dozens of product teams who are looking for help here, so we've start publishing content just for them. First post is up. 👉 Prompt Engineering for Product Managers, Part 1: Composing Prompts freeplay.ai/blog/prompt-engi…

Rather than trying to find yourself I suggest you go create yourself. It’s okay if it takes time and many iterations to get to the version you’re dreaming of.
