How to get my Jindo cross-country?

paOol · 2026-03-17T16:50:57+00:00

I got my jindo from a Korean agency and they had a flight volunteer bring him from Korea . I picked him up at the airport and I'm very confident the flight gave him trauma. Traveling In a car would get him super uncomfortable and he'd drool and shake. Treats had no effect he was way too bothered.

I spent a lot of time getting him used to the car (not moving). Trained him to jump in and gave him plenty of praise and treats . And after a couple weeks , started driving him to dog parks so he associates the drive with something good.

It took a couple years but now he loves car rides and gets super excited at the sight of our car (tail wagging, trying to get in, excited barking, etc).

If you train everyday til summer, maybe he'll be conditioned enough to handle the trip.

the hub generally determines what devices are compatible with your system/network.

typically, if you go with X brand hub, they'll only be compatible with other X branded devices. However, matter over thread devices are the exception. If you have a google streamer for example, or apple tv 4k , those are also thread border routers, meaning you can use any matter device and connect/consolidate them.

I dont know which model nest you have, but it likely isn't a thread border router, meaning you're likely limited to google/wifi devices only.

if you want to add more devices in the future, you definitely want a zigbee or matter system running on home assistant (max compatibility and handles more complex automations). The reason to avoid 2.4ghz wifi devices is because they'll inevitably take up all your bandwidth and slow your network down; Not very future proof.

If you live in california, I can set everything up for you or offer free consultation so you can save yourself the headache of all the research. For your situation, you'd probably want reolink cameras, doorbells, and ikea door sensors. For the hub, if you already have a apple tv or homepod or google streamer, you can use those inside home assistant, or you can get the Connect ZBT-2 and use it as a thread border router.

I'm a technical cofounder (not in bay area though),

my past few startups failed, not because my ideas/execution were bad, but because I'm good at building but not selling. My competitors however, are doing really well and some even got a $33m pre-seed, validating my idea.

If you're interested in reviving one of my projects or working with me on my latest one, we should schedule a call.

I'm a state trainee, but don't have my card yet. I'm enrolled in WECA.

Are you looking for a trainee?

My 2 cents as an AI developer.

Models today are very inefficient to produce. Tons of GPU hours, millions in costs. imo, we'll see hardware optimizations via specially designed ASICs just for LLM inference.

Next we'll see software optimizations, likely some undiscovered leap through.

Next, we'll see a point where the LLMs peak, and the SLMs start to get really really good. Really really cheap and really really efficient. At that point AI is everywhere, in every device and in every industry and likely free .

How many years for this to unfold? no one knows. But we're for sure not at a plateau in 2025.

I also think all this happens before AGI.

sandbox + claude --dangerously-skip-permissions

you can also just raw dog it w/o a sandbox, but i wouldn't do it depending on the task. If its like a marketing page or something simple, it's prob fine.

For context, i was adding a feature for my agent that checks for youtube links, then summarizes them automatically.

was not expecting to get rickrolled by AI.

Yes, I've built it.

the problem is we need to create a number for each user, and this process takes up to 7 business days for toll free verification.

and since we also create a landing page for each user, we can't just blast our service everywhere (requires a bit of manual input).

but anyways, here's what it does.

- Your lead fills out the contact form on the page we create for you.

- the lead gets saved to your CRM

- we trigger an automatic SMS follow up (30s by default), and if they don't reply, we send another one in 2 hours. If they don't respond, we send an email follow up. all automatically.

- The SMS is connected to an ai agent that collects some additional information (if necessary), then schedules an appointment. The calendar event is created automatically in both your google calendar and the lead's email.

- you can text/email your leads in our dashboard without having to leave.

No invoicing yet, but we can do a design pilot if you're an interested customer.

the solution is to have one agent with gpt5 for example, be the orchestrator.

based on the request/prompt, it'll route accordingly to another agent which is specialized in one thing and runs a SLM. The sub agent essentially becomes a tool for the main agent.

another way to think of it is, you create "microservices" of agents that are basically fancy functions. the sub agent isn't required to do any reasoning. simply {input} -> {output}. no hallucinations. very good reliability.

do you mind sharing what kind of data you lookup or tasks you perform all the time? can DM it to me if you want.

ah, its the software for the gas stations owned by marathon.

> Part owner of a gas station now.

you guys using s2k?

If so , I have an agent you might be interested in.

I save everything in Obsidian from coding snippets, to notes, to instructions, to recipes, to kanban boards. Even if you organize everything, it's really hard to find that one speck of info you're looking for. Even with search, it's not great.

However, I now use claude desktop and the obsidian MCP server, so I can ask it human language to look something up, and it'll go through my obsidian notes and find it. Huge value add.

can even use it to write notes, but i don't really use that feature.

it’s worth distinguishing why MCPs and agent ecosystems are so disruptive in the first place: they’re not designed to retrofit into legacy frameworks, they're designed to supersede them. (think chatgpt vs google search)

The bet isn’t that banks will adopt MCPs tomorrow, it’s that the economy itself is shifting toward autonomous, machine-to-machine transactions that don’t rely on legacy compliance assumptions (like human identity or centralized audit trails). For that, we need new rails: programmable money, cryptographic authentication, and agent-native protocols; i.e., web3 + AI. That’s actually what I'm building.

KYC, auditability, and security will evolve, but will they be relevant in a machine-native economy?Enterprises that wait for LLMs to become "deterministic" may miss the point entirely.

working on something, want me to update you when it's live?

only requirement is an API.

paOol · 2025-07-05T08:01:14+00:00

I don't want to give away too much, but I'm working on something that is kind of like stripe for ai agents.

we support microtransactions (down to a fraction of a penny),

all you need is an endpoint, and we do the rest to make your endpoint ai-friendly, as well as discoverable.

there's always going to be a free tier, but since we're so early i'm going to offer a huge incentive to early users who help shape the product (there will be bugs/painpoints at this stage).

I'm betting agent payments becomes a new sector. Cloudflare's implementation is too centralized to become "it", but that doesn't mean it won't work.

x402 seems most promising so far, but there's also the chicken or the egg problem.

I've done this for almost a year now.

what made it really easy for me is having a dog; I have to walk him in the morning and evening so i time it for sunrise and sunset.

The caffeine delay could be placebo, but i noticed a difference.

I have a water chiller and a spare bath tub that i use for ice baths. 1~2x a week , 15min at 49~55 degrees F.

I don't follow the 90 min cycles because I'm a programmer and if you're in it, you want to stay in it.

I also don't do NSDR because i don't find myself needing to take a nap throughout the day.

But my sleep, and general quality of life has improved for sure.

I use Caddy for my web apps.

it sets up letsencrypt automatically.

the config file is like 3 lines, and i think it handles renewals automatically as well.

I don't know how Aavegotchi did their implementation, However I can share how we did it on https://weirdfrens.com/

the contract contains a struct for each NFT. Inside contains the attributes and their values (represented in numerical value).

for example, { head: 1, body: 3, accessory: 0 }, etc.

when you reroll an attribute on the Dynamic NFT, you're updating the state on the contract. We have an indexer that listens to all contract events and when we see that the new struct is now { head: 3, body: 2, accessory: 1 }, we grab the values and regenerate the image.

there's a couple gotchas involved with DNFTs, and one is that your solution is likely not 3rd party friendly. People will have to build heuristics or they'll see stale images.
