thats a cool website. thanks for sharing
woah, hiring engineers has always been such a pain... this is super cool
every monday i face the same problem: what should i actually work on this week? chatgpt just tells me what i want to hear, so i tried something different - a standup meeting with ai versions of Jobs, Bezos, Naval, etc.
they called my "genius" marketing idea stupid. 20 minutes later i had the clearest direction i've had in months.
Thanks, I just wanted different philosophies on shipping code:
- If you're stuck on something hard, Peter would say "ship the hecky version tomorrow".
- Linus would want proper code review first.
- Carmack would rewrite your algorithm and find some clever way to do it with after components.
Basically covered the main approaches: ship fast and iterate.
- Peter Sahil optimizes for performance that's Carmack.
- Build for scale through process Linus.
- Elegant hardware solutions Woz
- the modern ML approach with Karpathy.
much better, Claude returns 1 answer with 1 perspective, my council returns 5. so if i have a problem i can run the council through it and move forward with whichever solution i think is best. sometimes its ship fast (levels / sahil) and sometimes its more detailed like torvald

i made a council of advisors to help me code. as a self taught dev, ive been heavily reliant on ai for the past two years. found myself often prompting claude to take on different personalities, so i built a web app. it's great for the step before telling cursor what to do and reviewing prs once theyre ready. PLEASE DON"T NUKE MY APY KEY. ty

i was originally using sfspeechrecognizer then switched to whisperkit. neither seem to be great. maybe im doing something wrong? feels like it should be an easy fix. please help
i monologue in the morning and talk through whatever's top of mind. i process the transcript with an ai im building and its great at enabling me to solve my own problems.
fair, what are the scopes of your problems generally?
i would love to chat more about this. my backgrounds in bme and personally interested in health.
not only in a business context, this could be a health issue. i helped someone develop a plan to treat their knee pain

I'm working on something new and I need to test it with real problems - the kind that keep you stuck for weeks or months. (basically stumbled on this framework, solving my own problems and want to see who else it could be useful for / what people would pay).
Really just looking for a conversation.
Here's what I'm looking for: complex situations where you've tried multiple approaches but...
im not sure. from watching karpathys video he mentions post training. i think it comes before fine tuning. are these the same thing?

I don't want to pre-train because theres so many models out there already BUT I don't like their 'vibe'. can i post train my own model on select texts to make said model feel how I want it to?doesn't need to be a massive model either. just want to keep it simple.Thanks!!!
