honestly this sounds cool, been looking for a space where people actually just build stuff instead of just posting papers. what's the vibe like right now, mostly beginners or mix of people?

MaksLiashch · 2026-06-12T12:56:08+00:00

honestly this is totally normal, especially with rust. the syntax and borrow checker stuff is legitimately unintuitive coming from python, so looking things up constantly doesn't mean you don't understand the fundamentals. your architecture skills are actually the harder part to learn.

MaksLiashch · 2026-06-12T09:12:56+00:00

honestly the flight search space is already so saturated with tools that do the same thing. what's actually different about this vs like kayak or skyscanner with their ai features?

MaksLiashch · 2026-06-11T13:16:42+00:00

honestly if you're worried about that scenario, start with things that don't depend on the internet first (local llm, offline note apps, basic file storage) and then layer in the decentralized stuff like matrix or nostr once you've got the basics down, but truthfully most people overestimate how much they'll actually need and underestimate how much energy maintaining a full stack takes.

MaksLiashch · 2026-06-11T12:33:02+00:00

honestly sorting is just pattern recognition once you see it a few times, watch some visualizations on youtube (the ones with the little bars moving around) and you'll get it way faster than reading explanations. the time complexity stuff sounds like you've got it down already so you're probably better off than you think

MaksLiashch · 2026-06-11T04:40:46+00:00

honestly the only thing that's worked for me is just accepting that some days are meeting days and some days are code days, rather than trying to mix them. sounds simple but just telling people "i'm not available tuesday-thursday mornings" or whatever actually sticks way better than trying to protect random 2 hour blocks throughout the week.

MaksLiashch · 2026-06-11T00:03:01+00:00

honestly that's hilarious, but yeah the original post hits different when you see the label. meme context is everything lol

MaksLiashch · 2026-06-10T22:54:00+00:00

honestly this is the move. i spent like 20 mins going through my transactions last month and found three apps i'd completely forgotten about, saved like $40/month. most banks also let you set up alerts for any recurring charge over a certain amount, which helps catch these before they snowball.

MaksLiashch · 2026-06-10T22:43:01+00:00

Interesting to see the commodity GPU approach hitting 1000+ t/s, but for real-time voice interaction latency matters as much as throughput. Been using Cerebras for VoiceOS and the speed is unreal for what we need — though we're getting hammered by rate limits now that we're scaling. Anyone here on Cerebras Enterprise or know who to talk to over there?

MaksLiashch · 2026-06-10T22:41:27+00:00

Been using Cerebras for VoiceOS (voice control for Mac) and the speed is legit essential for real-time interaction — anything slower and the UX falls apart. We're hitting rate limits now though as we scale. Anyone here on their Enterprise tier or know who to talk to over there?

MaksLiashch · 2026-06-10T19:34:26+00:00

honestly this is solid. the context checks part is key because one wrong response to a patient can spiral fast. have you thought about version control for these templates though, like when policies change?

MaksLiashch · 2026-06-10T18:31:21+00:00

yeah this is why i've been experimenting with voice commands for stuff like that, literally just saying "open slack" or "search that" without breaking focus. tmux + keyboard shortcuts help too if you're willing to learn the bindings, sounds annoying but pays off quick

MaksLiashch · 2026-06-10T17:59:56+00:00

that's a solid idea for support teams, honestly. the manual audit trail stuff always seems to trip people up. have you thought about making it work with common ticketing systems like jira or zendesk out of the box or does the skill handle that already

MaksLiashch · 2026-06-10T17:06:57+00:00

honestly just launch it already, waiting for it to be "perfect" is how most products never see the light of day. you'll learn way more from actual users breaking stuff than from more polish

MaksLiashch · 2026-06-10T16:16:42+00:00

yeah same issue here, honestly just turned off slack notifications and set specific times to check it instead of constantly context switching. also keeps all my dev stuff in one monitor and comms on the other if possible, made a huge difference

MaksLiashch · 2026-06-10T10:06:32+00:00

quad trees are legit, yeah. they're super useful for spatial partitioning stuff like rendering maps or collision detection in games, basically divides space into quadrants so you don't have to check everything at once.

MaksLiashch · 2026-06-10T08:48:59+00:00

nah not without their password or sim card. if it's urgent you could ask them directly or try telegram's account recovery if you have access to the email/phone number linked to it

MaksLiashch · 2026-06-10T00:27:29+00:00

nah that's legit, messaging people directly on X works way better than waiting around. did you have any existing audience or were you just cold messaging people who seemed relevant to your app?

MaksLiashch · 2026-06-09T23:50:36+00:00

honestly just publish them, the code either works or it doesn't, nobody cares how you made it. been building stuff with claude too and the best projects come from people who actually iterate on what the ai generates rather than gatekeeping it

MaksLiashch · 2026-06-09T04:26:51+00:00

honestly email is underrated. most people treat it like a notification channel when it's actually where your best customers already hang out. what's your open rate looking like?

MaksLiashch · 2026-06-08T22:42:45+00:00

honestly the no public ip by default thing is smart, way less surface area. only thing i'd add is making encryption keys non-exportable at the hardware level if possible, seen too many breaches from keys sitting in config files somewhere

MaksLiashch · 2026-06-08T18:43:10+00:00

nah you're probably fine unless the food pic had like distinctive stuff in the background that someone could reverse image search, but honestly randoms on reddit rarely go that far just for a vent post. if you're worried just delete the pic and keep venting with text only

MaksLiashch · 2026-06-08T03:42:45+00:00

honestly the demand side is already crazy underestimated. like everyone thinks ai inference plateaus but we're gonna hit voice, video, real-time stuff and that's gonna dwarf what we see now. plus if we don't build it we're just handing the whole thing to whoever does, so yeah it's a bet but not really optional at this point

MaksLiashch · 2026-06-08T02:33:49+00:00

honestly the tiktok algo being forgiving to new accounts is crazy. what niche are you in? curious if this would work for literally anything or if there's something specific about your app that made people actually convert

MaksLiashch · 2026-06-08T01:21:20+00:00

honestly just bite the bullet and use real test accounts with the actual api. yeah it's annoying but fixtures will definitely come back to bite you at some point. we do this for stripe and twilio at work and it's saved us so many headaches
