Context Rot: How Increasing Input Tokens Impacts LLM Performance

research.trychroma.com/context-rot saw this study las tyear. That and Context Engineering in general are important topics.

Can't run my app on my girlfriends phone because my free account can only be used on 3 iPhones and my 2 old ones are part of them?
One of the weirdest requirements I've seen #indiedev

Someone trying to get #openclaw or other AI Agents to "renew" their OpenAI subscriptions?
The link redirects to a Stripe Store - already reported it to them

which could be a positive. Isn't Twitter/X barely usable without paying anyways?

I just go by gut feeling :D

That’s really cool! A spreadsheet is so smart :D I have a couple of random notes, drawings and a physical notebook, but I just keep getting lost :D

Maybe prioritizing is a good idea :D and getting things into a MVP state before moving on?

How do you balance your projects? Working on literally 5 ideas at the same time when I am off work #buildinpublic

Too many amazing ideas coming up

The possibilities with small local models as opposed to using chatgpt or other APIs feels underexplored

YouTube video by Marola & Ali Walking Through Namibia's 900-Year-Old Tree Graveyard

Namibia had some of the most stunning landscapes we’ve ever seen. Every hour it felt like you’ve seen a different planet.

Here’s a video of our road trip. The ancient desert was absolutely mesmerizing

Now available on luna.watermelonson.com - spawn black holes. #buildinpublic

A new way to find #AI generated #slop on reddit:
The comments are written at exactly the full hour. Probably "fetch the latest comment in this sub, write a gpt-4o response and post it"

YouTube video by Marola & Ali Extra Watching the Milky Way Rise in Namibia (360 Video)

Here’s a 360° timelapse video of that night www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys5I...

The night sky in #Namibia was so incredibly dark. I've never seen the milky way this clearly. #astrophotography

Hard to see, but coming soon to Luna - my space sim:
Black Holes.
Open to any more suggestions. I think astrobiology and especially letting planet's biomes change depending on temperature are two bigger tasks I am still very keen on implementing #astronomy #space

Update on trying the Meta Ray Ban Development Setup:
It was super easy to get the video into your app. Now on to doing stuff with it

I love how "Referer-Header" is just the accepted way the Header field is spelled, even though it's been over 30 years.

My Space Simulator was mentioned in the Teletext of the Österreichischer Rundfunk - National Public Broadcaster of Austria. Super cool :D

Bangkok has amazing #veganfood #vegan

This was at Nature’s Charm

The one thing I will tell everyone:

Don’t buy a #gopro Their products have seriously gone downhill.
Went snorkeling with my “10m waterproof” GoPro- it broke, they claimed I didn’t seal it properly
Now: TWO separate batteries died, I barely even used the batteries. Third one in a year. It’s absurd

Anyone built tools for the Meta Ray-Ban? The SDK has been public. Curious about building for it too.
Still having my doubts whether #AR will be as ubiquitous as some people like to claim.
Thoughts?

It’s like feeling homesick constantly. Spending a month+ at a time in a place, makes you place *some* roots. People you interact with, cats, birds, all kinds of animals.
I feel like “like home” in like 5 places.

One tough part about being a digital #nomad, nomad, perpetual traveler, or whatever you want to call it is the fact that you feel home in many places and nowhere at the same time. No matter how fun it looks by just looking at the highlights on YouTube/instagram. Maybe it’s just me.

#Vegan meal on my flight from Cape Town to Doha. Qatar airways has really fast internet on board.
Curious how the meals on the way to Bangkok will be

Why is every other dog in Cape Town a dachshund?

My idea-validation app stack:

NextJS for web
Expo for mobile
Supabase
FastAPI if I need some ML

Running everything on a single Hetzner VPS for 10 € a month.

I love native development, but when you want to go from idea to prototype, you want to be able to validate quickly.

I'd go Be4 and then hope I figure out a followup

$75 for an io domain, wow. I remember when I was a student and couldn't afford the ~40€

I much prefer a comic drawn by an absolute beginner than a soulless generation. The same with animations. I wonder if society will just accept it, since there is also a growing sentiment against AI usage in arts - which is great

I am an amateur in Astrophotography, and I am currently building a space simulator that I think other space enthusiasts would enjoy. It simulates orbital mechanics, is free and runs in the browser
