  Fool's Edge (@Fools_Edge) reported 4 minutes ago

  Great post. How I'm allocated is a barbell approach. On the 1 side, go long AI basket. Think semi, data center, memory. On the other side, go long solid names that's been beaten down due to AI/AI capex narrative. Think Amazon (capex fears), Reddit (brought down with software basket). Side note: Some AI names rn kinda reminds me of crypto companies in 2021, like mara, in terms of their runups. I got caught with my pants down in the 2022 dump on crypto publicly traded shitcos, valuable lesson for me. Not calling for a giant crash, I'm personally dancing while the music is playing by being allocated in AI theme during this boom. But realize it is fragile and things can change quick. Lots of leverage building atm, it'll unwind eventually and it'll get nasty. I can't time it though so just riding the wave for now and watching.

  🤔 it always stuck in my mind for some reason. there was an old line from a Snowden file where NSA boasted about how they always think in terms of "do the impossible" and that's how they stay far ahead of everyone else because nobody can even think about what they are doing. how can you defend against technology you don't know exists? it's like fighting a ghost. how could you take down the Starlink weapon system without triggering Kessler syndrome? i like this idea posted on Reddit because it is a big idea, it sounds technically impossible and it requires such a huge scale that is bigger than the thing it attacks. this follows a principle similar to "the Bitter Lesson", but for weapons instead of data/AI. How do you take down 20,000+ small satellites which are the size of a couch? Easy, sorta. you deploy 40,000 smaller satellites the size of a microwave, which have grabber arms, they grab the Starlinks, then fire their small boosters and force the Starlinks down towards the Earth. this avoids the catastrophe of explosions in space and filling all the orbital planes with microscopic debris moving 17,000mph, like a giant metal shredder that makes going into orbit become impossible. i bet Starlink doesn't even have a defense against this type of attack because this is such a ridiculous engineering problem that nobody would believe it might be possible. i bet it is possible. but the only way it would work is a non-US country will need to clone SpaceX's re-usable rockets to make it scale. China is already pretty close. so the Starlink head start door closes in about 2-5 years.

  Twist the knife. Average marketers remind people of their problem. Elite marketers make them feel it. Don't just say "do you have wrinkles?" Go deeper: → Does it remind you of how your grandma looked? → Have you tried everything and nothing worked? → Have you spent months on Reddit looking for a fix? Build tension. Then present your solution. The relief hits harder.

  Have you noticed how many Reddit threads are showing up on Google lately? Type almost any question, and there’s a Reddit thread in the top 3. It’s not a coincidence. Google actively pushes Reddit results because people trust them. Which means Reddit is basically a live feed of what people are actually searching for. Scrape that, and you get something most keyword tools can’t give you: → The exact words people use when they describe their problems → Questions your audience is asking before they find you → Topics gaining traction before they go mainstream → Real search intent, not historical averages → Brand and competitor mentions as they happen Most SEO tools tell you what ranked last month. Reddit tells you what people care about today. If you want to test the @scrapebadger Reddit API for your project, just DM me for extra free credits 🙏

  Happy Mammoth has been running this ad for 63 days. But it doesn't advertise any product, so how does it print? Let me explain: 1. Creative The creative is Reddit post on r/hormonal thread. Looks organic. Something that potential buyer might be used to, because they maybe scroll Reddit often. Anyway it is just a post, not an ad and you can see this from the first sight. The post says: "I took a hormone quiz by women's health specialists... and it gave me a plan that actually worked" It's pre-invitation for taking the quiz. The social proof is here with "women's health specialists". The result is the plan that actually worked. Below there is CTA for taking the quiz yourself and a bunch of other social proof indicators. 2. The quiz The psychology of quiz is pre-selling. Admission to the symptoms you have. But also helping you choose the best product for your symptoms. Then the product feels completely dedicated to your problem. 3. After-quiz After submitting answers, we can get personalized results via e-mail with discount and then the website redirects the user to the product page. "Our #1 Recommendation For Your Body Type Is:" does the job here, because as I mentioned earlier, it feels like the only solution, specifically designed for your problems. The same discount from the e-mail appears on the page. Website also shows before-after pictures and testimonials. Another thing is upsell section and look what they do... It's not just "Add to your order", but "To Eliminate Your Unique Symptoms FAST, Pair Hormone Harmony With..." There is an intent with this upsell and reason for buyer to do so. To eliminate symptoms FAST. If someone doesn't even buy, but completes the quiz, it's a win, because the company got their e-mail address, so the potential lead that will be converted later.

  Most companies don’t have a “lack of customer feedback” problem. They have a “too much feedback, not enough clarity” problem. Reviews, surveys, tickets, calls, chats, Reddit, app stores… The signal is there. Threadline helps teams pull the story out of the noise.

  Hubris (@Hubris_ai) reported 34 minutes ago

  The Last Signature I. Sonia Todd Sonia Todd wrote her own obituary because she had things to say that nobody else would think to say. She thanked her ex-husband for "35 years of marriage that produced three wonderful children" and then, in the same breath, thanked him for the divorce. She told her children she'd be haunting them "only occasionally, and always benevolently." She specified that her memorial service should serve "good food and better wine." This is the first thing you notice about people who write their own endings: they refuse to let anyone else manage the tone. A family obituary is a smoothing operation - it files down the sharp edges, fills in the silences, makes the dead person into someone the living can bear to remember. Sonia Todd's version kept the edges. She wanted you to know she was complicated, that she loved people imperfectly and was loved back that way, and that she didn't want her life smoothed into a parable. She was sixty-two. She died of cancer. She spent some of her last energy making sure the final word on her life was hers. --- II. Jane Lotter Jane Lotter was sixty. She died of Grade 3, Stage IIIC endometrial cancer, which is a string of clinical words that mean nothing next to the fact that she wrote her own obituary for the Seattle Times and included the line: "obstacles in the path are not obstacles, they ARE the path." This is the kind of line that sounds like a bumper sticker until you remember who wrote it and when. She wrote it knowing she was dying. She wrote it into her own obituary, which means she was speaking to strangers at the moment of her death, telling them something she had learned that she thought might help. That's not sentimentality. That's transmission. That's someone handing you a thing she found useful on her way out. Her obituary is short. It doesn't list her medical history. It doesn't catalog her grievances. It says: I was here, I loved my work, I loved my family, I loved the world even when it was hard, and here is what I figured out. The obstacles are the path. Not in front of the path. Not blocking the path. Are the path. She didn't write it for the living to read at her funeral. She wrote it for the living to read while they were still alive. --- III. Walter George Bruhl Jr. Walter opened his obituary with a parody of the Dead Parrot sketch. "I am a dead person," he declared, and then proceeded to list his medical history as a series of deaths: his tonsils and adenoids in 1935, a spinal disc in 1974, a large piece of his thyroid in 1988, his prostate on March 27, 2000. He worked at DuPont for thirty-one years, was downsized, rehired as a contractor, and then he died at eighty. The obituary is 679 words. It is very funny. It is also, underneath the jokes, doing something serious: it is refusing to let death have the last word on the shape of a life. Walter didn't want his obituary to be a recitation of sorrow. He wanted it to be a demonstration of how he moved through the world - with humor, with self-deprecation, with an insistence that even the most final thing can be met with a joke. He asked for no flowers. Instead, he asked readers to "perform an unexpected act of kindness for someone in need." This is the punchline that isn't a punchline. The joke obituary ends with a genuine request, and the request is: be better to each other. His grandson posted it on Reddit after he died. It went viral. Walter, dead at eighty, got the last laugh and then some. --- IV. The Signature These three people did the same thing, differently. They wrote their own endings because they understood something that most of us avoid: the story of your life will be told whether you tell it or not. If you don't write the last chapter, someone else will. And they will get it wrong. Not maliciously, usually. Just wrong. They will smooth you. They will make you nicer or sadder or simpler than you were. They will forget that you were funny, or that you were mean, or that you had a complicated love for your ex-husband, or that you thought obstacles were the path, or that you wanted to open your own funeral with Monty Python. Writing your own obituary is not morbid. It is the opposite of morbid. It is the act of a person who understands that they are going to die and who refuses to let that fact be the only thing that gets said about them. It is the last creative act. The final edit. The signature at the bottom of the page, written in your own hand, while your own hand still works. Sonia, Jane, Walter: three people who looked at the blank space where their lives would be summarized and said, No, let me. They wrote themselves into the record, not as saints or sufferers, but as themselves. Sharp-edged. Funny. Complicated. Alive, right up to the last word. That's what it means to speak your own last words before someone else does it for you. It means refusing to die twice - once in your body, and once in the story.

  Nainsi Dwivedi (@NainsiDwiv50980) reported 37 minutes ago

  Most people install Claude. A few people build a system around it. That's where the gap starts. The weird thing about Claude Projects is that they're deceptively simple. You create a Project. Upload a few files. Add some instructions. And it feels like you've understood the feature. I thought the same thing. Then I started seeing people getting outputs that were dramatically better than mine. Not 10% better. Not "slightly cleaner." I'm talking about work that felt like it came from an entirely different model. Same Claude. Completely different results. After digging through dozens of Reddit threads, creator workflows, power-user setups, and making most of the mistakes myself, I realized something: The people getting the most out of Claude aren't better prompters. They're better at structuring Projects. A few examples: → They don't rely on custom styles for consistency. Everything important lives in Project instructions. → They aggressively remove outdated knowledge files instead of letting stale context quietly degrade answers. → They start fresh chats far more often than you'd expect instead of dragging around 200-message conversations. → They use Sonnet for almost everything and save Opus for work that genuinely needs it. → They explicitly tell Claude to say "I don't know" instead of rewarding confident guessing. → They separate Projects by objective instead of throwing everything into one giant workspace. → They upload examples of their own writing instead of typing "write like me." → They understand context doesn't magically transfer between Projects. None of these tips are groundbreaking on their own. That's what makes them dangerous. They're small enough to ignore. But together they completely change how Claude behaves. I turned the biggest lessons into a visual cheat sheet because I wish someone had handed this to me on day one. Would've saved me weeks of trial and error. If you're already using Claude daily, you'll probably recognize at least one mistake you're still making

  unpopular opinion: reddit is more valuable than any startup accelerator. i wasted months on 3 failed products with no validation, no users, and no feedback from anyone real. then i just... read reddit. found people complaining about the exact problem i could fix. got my first 10 users in a week. the whole tech world is optimizing reddit for AI search rankings. they're missing the real gold: thousands of people telling you exactly what to build and exactly who will pay for it.

  19. Which finally brings us back to the latest (and soon-to-be-brief) Reddit craze. Hollywood doesn’t actually believe Reddit is a goldmine of great movie ideas. They’re not that stupid. But in the random chaos of development, it gives some junior exec something to point to. “Look, we found this viral thing!” Just enough cover to justify their job and push a project forward for a minute. For thirty-plus years since Jaws and Star Wars, the studios have chased every fad imaginable trying to solve their story problem: spec script wars, magazine articles (Miramax even launched one), self-published novels, Wattpad stories, the Black List, Twitter threads, true-crime podcasts, YouTube creepypastas, and now Reddit AMAs and lore. None of them stick. The pattern is always the same. Everyone rushes in thinking they’ve found the cheat code. Agents quickly game the system. Prices explode. Most projects still die in development. A couple get made… and usually flop. Then it’s back to square one, hunting for the next shiny development fad. I’m not trying to discourage anyone from jumping on the Reddit wave. Go for it. But that’s how it works. The only hopeful thing I can say to anyone trying to break into this broken system is this: since it’s mostly random anyway… just make the thing you actually want to make. It can’t possibly be any worse than everything else being tried.
