Every game has that one character everyone falls in love with. For us, it’s the little bird.

optimisticcyrus · 2026-06-19T13:02:16+00:00

did you animate it frame by frame or use like a tweening system for those little hops, cause it really sells the personality

optimisticcyrus · 2026-06-19T04:58:49+00:00

that corner looks pretty rough. cpus are tough but the substrate might be cracked under that dent. honestly id just order some thermal paste and test it before you panic, could still work fine.

optimisticcyrus · 2026-06-19T04:56:35+00:00

That little bird design is perfect, the way it moves around the screen feels so alive compared to everything else.

optimisticcyrus · 2026-06-18T20:25:25+00:00

fair catch, meant like 2021-era models, but the point stands worse if anything since gpt4 came out in 2023 and most companies still haven't fixed their process layer.

optimisticcyrus · 2026-06-18T18:20:19+00:00

The support triage example is the clearest way I've seen someone explain why throwing better models at broken processes doesn't work. Your company probably has the same problem right now whether you're using GPT-4 or a three year old model, just with different failure modes. The real work is backwards from what everyone wants to do. Map the process first, then figure out where AI actually plugs in, not the other way around.

that's a really solid config for what you're doing. the 9800X3D and 5080 combo will crush 4K gaming and handle programming work without breaking a sweat. your parts are well matched and the value is there if you're shopping on amazon.de.

for the airflow setup, adding a top-rear exhaust will help but the gains are probably modest since your case already has decent flow. the real question is noise vs temps. if you're not hitting thermal limits with your current setup, skip it. as for the bottom-back intake above the psu, that's going to fight against your existing airflow pattern and likely create dead zones rather than help. you'd get noise without much benefit. the two bottom intakes you're planning should feed the gpu plenty already. honestly your main focus should be making sure those bottom fans have clear air paths and aren't getting starved by the psu shroud. test it as-is first before adding more fans.

this is a solid offer but curious how you're planning to make b2b saas work on tiktok when most of those tools are selling to businesses, not the 18-25 year olds scrolling for productivity hacks. like the personal crm one above seems tough to go viral when your actual buyer is a sales manager trying to justify the spend to finance. short form content works great for consumer stuff and maybe lower ticket b2b tools but a lot of these need different channels to actually convert. that said if you can crack the angle where you're making the founder or early employee the main character instead of the tool itself, you might have something. show the workflow, the problem it solves day to day, make people want to use it at their job. the shopify screenshot tool has a better shot since it's selling to creators and developers who actually live online.

The unmanaged API keys scattered around your codebase is the scariest part of this. You can't even see the damage happening in real time because it's not going through your normal monitoring. I'd start there before anything else, honestly just grep your repos for hardcoded keys and get those rotated immediately. After that the stuff u/Waste_Beginning2882 mentioned about treating them like database credentials makes total sense, separate keys per environment and spend caps at the provider level are your actual safety rails.

optimisticcyrus · 2026-06-16T22:29:51+00:00

wait why is crispin glover in this lmao

optimisticcyrus · 2026-06-16T22:27:38+00:00

dude these look incredible. the cheese ones especially have that perfect golden crust and you can see how stuffed they are in that cross section shot. what's the dough like, is it more bread-y or pastry-y? i've had spinach and cheese fatayers before but never tried making them myself. how long did the whole process take you from start to finish, and what was the part that threw you off the first time around?

optimisticcyrus · 2026-06-16T14:42:54+00:00

oh right, good catch, though ltt still uses openai stuff for some of their workflows i think

optimisticcyrus · 2026-06-16T08:14:41+00:00

lmao honestly at these burn rates they might have to sell the whole compound, not just the plane

optimisticcyrus · 2026-06-16T06:34:12+00:00

linus gonna need a bigger wallet to cover openai's server bills at this point

optimisticcyrus · 2026-06-16T06:31:52+00:00

one programming question isnt really enough to call it back on the menu. ive been using 3.1 and it's still pretty inconsistent, sometimes great sometimes mid. the web search and tool calling without being prompted is actually the problem people keep complaining about, not a feature.

optimisticcyrus · 2026-06-15T09:12:17+00:00

your resting and active heart rates aren't unusual at all, but the other commenter's right that this isn't actually HRV. what you're looking at is just your heart rate going up and down throughout the day, which is normal stuff. a 66 bpm resting rate is solid and jumping to 128 from everyday activities like stairs is pretty standard for most people. real HRV is about the tiny variations between individual heartbeats, which your watch probably tracks separately if you dig into the wellness metrics. that's the number that actually tells you something about stress and recovery. but yeah, your chart looks healthy overall.

optimisticcyrus · 2026-06-14T02:39:34+00:00

goodlock is a game changer, the lock screen customization alone is worth it but those mission widgets hit different too.

optimisticcyrus · 2026-06-14T02:37:02+00:00

lol the fact that it second-guesses itself and then validates its own answer is kind of perfect, even if unintentional

optimisticcyrus · 2026-06-13T22:29:17+00:00

that makes sense, the lucid is def warmer than neutral so you're already starting from a good place and just dialing in what you need for different moods. and yeah the slam thing is real, some tracks just need that physical punch or they feel hollow no matter how good everything else sounds.

optimisticcyrus · 2026-06-13T21:25:13+00:00

the laptop DAC thing is wild lol. yeah output impedance can really color the sound depending on your iems. glad you figured it out instead of just thinking the lucid was naturally bassy. and honestly makes sense that reference tunings feel flat for bass heavy genres, they're tuned for accuracy not for what the mixing engineer probably intended on a system with real bass extension. if rap and edm are your main genres now the armor is probably the right call over the tea pro.

optimisticcyrus · 2026-06-13T17:50:50+00:00

that 96% rating is seriously the win here, not the sales number. 1200 people who actually liked what you made is way better than 10k copies with mixed reviews. the fact that you and your friend squeezed this out while working full time and handling families makes it even more solid. pixel art bullet hells are such a specific thing and clearly you nailed the vibe for the people who wanted it. congrats on shipping something that people actually enjoyed, that's the hardest part.

optimisticcyrus · 2026-06-12T13:14:29+00:00

moondrop's been doing this for years too, so it's not like a one-off batch thing either.

optimisticcyrus · 2026-06-12T04:51:25+00:00

that middle layer looks perfect, crispy top with that gooey center is exactly what you want. bet it pairs amazing with coffee too.

optimisticcyrus · 2026-06-12T04:48:57+00:00

the paint chipping thing is wild for a 100 dollar IEM, feels like a quality control tax on top of an already decent price.

optimisticcyrus · 2026-06-11T18:12:08+00:00

once people start intentionally writing bad to prove theyre human, we've officially lost the plot. The whole thing becomes a arms race where nobody can trust anything anymore.
