❗️A THREAD >> TL;DR several etsy shops sell widgets... that are based on the code they stole from my asset, additionally just dozens of copycats blatantly steal any new original idea some ppl could've seen dozens of similarly looking designs of "liquid goals" on etsy - most of them (not all codewise) originate from one single asset I've put out there in 2023 :D I noticed one widget long time ago on the stream and got a lil confused, because it looks similar to mine, animations are 1:1 (and I remember them FRAME BY FRAME, because I MADE THEM) but it wasn't mine, huh? and then I jumped into the rabbit hole of dozens of assets that were made on the code carcass I made and those people were successfully milking it for years in all the shapes possible examples below are from shops Mynn Yori / Hana Yori and notorious Multiverse Valley, who were already called out for stealing and selling other artists work multiple times CSS code from both are 89% / 98% similar to mine, the difference is just renaming classes like "dropshadow" instead of "bottomshadow" and some values adjustments heh and the thing that pmo me the most is that those ppl couldn't even just copy the idea and make it themselves, huh? besides of those on the screenshot, I don't care about other creators selling the same goal design because I see that they at least made it on their ownshow more

So many times in anime and movies, someone jumped... in the air for an attack and the guy dodged the attack while he was in the air, so he redirected the hit of the attack, he definetly would have not landed like a braindead bot without trying to turn and hit the enemy, so it totally makes sense. The AI looks more dynamic, it's looks alive and that's cool. So that attack is totally so natural in my book. As I said, we could discuss about other attacks and the tracking of them in Ninja Gaiden 4, but that one ? I would die on a hill to say that attack is totally legit and I'm so glad that it is exactly like this. Like I absolutely defend NG2 Alexei, Volf, Liz and other bosses attacks. I could mention also NG2, NG3RE, Nioh , Wo Long and Stranger of Paradise, because in so many years, I NEVER saw anybody complaining about the SAME KIND of thing and attack like in those games, but when it comes into NG4, people will find any EXCUSES to hate it and find issues, even when there are not. But some people that are just happy to find something to bring on their NG4 hater agenda. Here some quick examples and most of those people that are complaining about that attack in NG4, are the same that praise those games, only because there no Ninja Gaiden name on it, so there is no hate agenda to bring on vs them 😅show more

"Explosion in Kharkiv" or something along those lines is... the most frequent post I make. I've probably made a thousand of them by now, if not more. Air raid alerts are so frequent here that I usually don't even post about them. They can last for days, and the citizens of Kharkiv are forced to disregard them. Or we can have twelve of them in a day, and we will also be forced to disregard them. I often see online how central or western Ukraine complains about the alerts, and oh, how much I would give to have an actual solid warning about an attack like them. But "explosions in Kharkiv" always arrive unexpectedly. How surreal it is that we are forced to live like this. How horrific it is that thousands of bombs, missiles, and drones fall on a major city in Europe daily, and all the major press and political figures just pretend it doesn't happen. Because if they admit that it happens and they just watch it year after year, then what kind of people are they? Do they care at all?show more

Little backstory: When I started laser engraving, I wanted... to be the guy who stood out. I didn't want to do the same generic crap that 1000s of other engravers were doing. I also said that I would NEVER EVER do drinkware. There's lots of soccer mom type trash out there and I didn't want to be another one of those engravers. But after making and designing morale patches, I saw that there was a clear lack of what we are doing on the drinkware front. So, I decided to give it a shot. I spent thousands on R&D to land on the Polar Camel mugs we use. Completely lead free, and hold liquids at temp for HOURS. Instead of focusing on making cheap drinkware with generic designs, we took our already proven designs and engraved them on both sides, with the quality you would expect from us. And now I have 100s of mugs from test designs, and I'm running out of cabinet space! HALP! But seriously, I'm glad that we started offering them, because it's yet another medium for us to show off our craft, that can be used on a daily basis to spread the art that we make, and for that I am thankful.show more

Regardless of what you think of Don Lemon and... the whole ordeal with Elon Musk, I think this line from him should resonate with everyone. "Twitter or X is one of the biggest information platforms in the world. Why cede that platform to extremists? So I wanted to get on there and I wanted to fight it out so that everyone had a voice." Those on the left who stopped using X because they were angry that people on the right were saying things that they don't like, are playing into the hands of the people they disagree with. Instead these people should increase their usage of X in order to combat the narratives they dislike. That's how successful societies function. And just like I would welcome Trump back on X, those on the right should embrace people like Lemon because it's so much better to have a melting pot of flavor rather than a boring pot of white rice. Societies succeed when conflicting views are heard rather than pushed to the corner. Echo chambers only further extremism.show more

AJ Styles on younger wrestlers using his moves, he... says he WANTS them to and that a lot of his moves came from copying other wrestlers: “I want them to, that just means I’ve made an impact in the business, that people have watched AJ Styles and thought, ‘Great, I’d like to try that. I’d like to see if I could do that.’ I did the same thing. I was trying shooting star presses and 450s and all kinds of stuff like that because I saw other guys do it. So the fact that someone does the Styles Clash—I don’t care. Thank you for doing it, man. That means it’s impacted the wrestling world, and that’s okay. I like that.” (SESCOOPS)show more

I'm seeing a lot of people saying it is... just a bad upscaling instead of Gen AI, but it is indeed Gen AI animation. There are things going on in it that just don't make any sense for puppet animation. Here are some parts that make it clear, I slowed down the video so it's easier to notice the chunky parts. I checked the past ADs and it's possible to notice details (from an animator's POV) that are common and make sense for human work, so it was definitely a choice to use AI on this new ADshow more

In both Kenya and Nigeria, you people still haven't... realised that these celebrity activist types who receive generous funding and support from the U.S. government via its many NGO fronts, are at best like 👇🏾this guy - pretending to do valuable work while actually taking a free ride on your credulity. And that's the best case scenario, because their real job is much more malevolent. Boniface Mwangi and Yele Sowore are literally the same person. The only difference is that one of them has a Kenyan accent and the other has a Nigerian accent. They even share the same American funder (Ford Foundation), and they have both made multiple Hollywood attempts at running for public office that they knew they had no chance at winning. One of them even made a movie out of it. Most importantly, they both exist to play an important role for the external interests that maintain a chokehold over both countries - their job is to place their faces and their narrative in front of any resistance or revolutionary movement that brews organically, so as to take control of it on behalf of their funding interests and misdirect it somewhere harmless where it fizzles out. Sowore attempted to do it with #EndSARS and successfully did it with #EndBadGovernance, and Boniface did the exact same thing with #RejectFinanceBill2024 and #RutoMustGo. "Organised civil society" in Africa is part of the empire's colonial infrastructure. You would think with all the noise made about USAID, the bigger point would have been made by now. These people are not helping you or doing you a favour, as if they invented the concept of resistance and revolution, or it wouldn't happen without them. They are the gatekeepers who ACTIVELY prevent real revolution from happening. That's what they receive hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of US intelligence/NGO slush funds for wvery year. These men that you think are "heroes" are actually some of your biggest opps and I don't know how you have not realised this yet. I can't understand how you can't see it.show more

It’s about time I tell you the truth… social... media is full of fake people doing whatever they can to go viral, look perfect, and build a brand. I built my brand on being the tall girl (with a dumpy). Not many women my height have the proportions I do and I capitalized on that. Except… that’s just it. I don’t have those proportions as a 6’2 woman because I am only 5’2. The reason I only don’t go out much and never socialize with fans is I didn’t want my secret getting out. It’s been hard to maintain this idea of being a tall girl for so many years. I have to stand on boxes in pictures with my friends and family and never be caught in a high angle selfie. I have special extra small furniture to make me appear larger. Even my doors are shorter than standard. The amount of effort I have to go through to appear as a 6’2 tall woman and make it believable is incredibly hard. And so many people have already caught me too! They constantly comment that I’m lying about my height and that I’m actually short. Well. Today they get that moment of victory where they can say they were right. Congrats, trolls and haters… you found me out. I guess the last thing for me to say is the reason behind doing this. Why I poured so much into an identity that didn’t fit me. If you made it this far, then you deserve to know. Why did I pretend to be a 6’2 model with curves that aren’t naturally seen on someone of that stature? Why didn’t I embrace my 5’2 frame and stop pretending nothing ever fit me in clothes and that the top of the fridge really was a difficult reach? There’s only one answer to that. It’s because… it’s April fools, and admit it, you fell for it. I am 6’2, as much as people try to convince me and others I’m not. I’m blessed with some crazy genetics and I love embracing that (most of the time I’m just complaining but you know how it is). Leave a comment about how today is a great day if you read through the whole thing and Happy April Fools! Remember, never believe everything you see on the internet, because everyone is trying to convince you of something. #AprilFoolDayshow more

✨ I revived my first AI startup from 6... years ago with Claude Code [ 💡 ] Back then it used GPT-3 (this was 2 years before ChatGPT existed!) to generate new startup ideas which then people can vote on And the best startup ideas rise to the top! Back then I made it because people complained they didn't have any ideas to build a startup This week I moved it to its own VPS and installed Claude Code and told it to fix everything, the DB had become big and there was stupid write operations on every page load that it made it very slow Claude Code is excellent at fixing all those small bugs from old projects and quickly fixing them As Garry Tan says "boil the oceans" as in before I'd not have the time to fix these kinds of projects, it wouldn't be worth it, I mean IdeasAI doesn't even make money, but now it takes me an hour to do this and it works again! I also upgraded GPT-3 to xAI's Grok 4.2 for new startup ideasshow more

I deleted all my Polymarket positions at 2am on... a Tuesday because I realized I was winning 54% of my bets and still down $11,400. It took me three weeks to understand that sentence. Fifty four percent wins. Why is the balance shrinking? The math was brutal once I finally saw it. I was buying outcomes at 55 to 65 cents feeling smart because my picks kept winning. But the payout at those prices was so thin that one loss wiped out five wins. My edge was maybe 3% and the spread was eating 4%. I dug into the data hoping to find a way to trade better and instead found a number that made me want to close the app. 70% of all Polymarket addresses are in the red. And the profits? Captured by 0.04% of wallets. Four thousand addresses out of 1.7 million own almost everything. I was playing a game where 96% of participants exist to fund the other 4%. But the trades of those wallets are public. Every entry, every exit, sitting on the blockchain. I started tracking them manually. One wallet broke me. It started January 6 with $50. By the time I found it the balance was close to $500,000. Pulling $20 to $30K a day on 15 minute BTC, ETH and SOL markets, exploiting the fact that Binance updates faster than Polymarket odds. A few seconds of lag, hundreds of times a day. I scrolled its history for an hour trying to find a losing streak. Could not. That is when I stopped doing this by hand. Set up PMX. Alerts the second a tracked wallet moves, one tap copy. → Link to bot: Three weeks of shadowing instead of trading. Made back $4,200 of my $11,400 hole. Not because I got smarter. Because I stopped pretending I was the edge. The game on Polymarket is not about being right. It is about standing behind someone who already is. I am still not in profit. But for the first time in four months my balance moves the right direction and I sleep through the night. That is worth more than any win.show more

Georgia has fallen. I just went to a mall... that I grew up going to. It was completely overrun by blacks and Mexicans. Why are the men of Georgia and the U.S. overall not standing up this this racial and cultural replacement? It makes me see red. The politicians don’t care, they have money to make for themselves so they can live in their gated communities away from all of the racial sludge. The only thing that can save this country is mass deportation of MOST minorities (citizen or not). I certainly will work behind the scenes to save this country and the west in general because it is absolutely INFURIATING to look around and see only people who don’t look like me and my family, just absorbing the glory of my ancestors.show more

In 2026 there are 3 types of people left... on Polymarket. I have been all 3 and only one of them stopped losing money. Type 1: programmers. They write bots, make $11K to $120K a month. They are 2% of the platform. I tried to become one of them. Lasted two weeks and one broken script. Type 2: people who found type 1 and copy their trades. No code, no servers, no sleepless nights. They are 5%. Type 3: everyone else. Trading by hand, trusting their gut, and steadily handing money to the first two types. They are 93%. I sat here for 4 months and lost $1,800. The most frustrating part is that all the information is right there. The blockchain shows every trade from every wallet. I stared at it for 4 months and kept trading on my own. To become type 1 you need months of coding. To become type 2 you need to stop believing you are special. The team at PMX built a tool that copies the best wallets automatically: I did not get smarter. I just stopped being type 3.show more

HTML Artifacts are a big part of how I... work with agents now. Artifacts can be more than just static files. When combined with agents, they can take action or help you take action. This unlocks all kinds of interesting ways to work with agents. This is clearly the future. Check out this writing and scheduler artifact I built in a few minutes. It uses a bit of HTML and JS. All the data is in markdown (Obsidian vaults), so the agent can access and modify it at any time. No DB needed. No sophisticated functionalities. The agent decides all that for me based on the skills, context, and memory it has access to. The best part about this simple stack is that all the important information stays with me. This has allowed me to build a recursive self-improving system and automations that can better tap into coding agents like Codex or Claude Code. I could have paid or built an entire app for scheduling posts, and there are so many of them out there. But I don't need to. I've realized a simple artifact does the job. And the simplicity of it is actually an advantage. Very little maintenance for very high returns on personalization, time, and efficiency. The other benefit of this is that I can add features as I please. That level of personalization feels magical, and we should all be pursuing more of it. All of this just keeps compounding. Of course, this example is just about writing. But I have similar artifacts for research, design, experimentation, evaluation, and so much more. And no, I didn't actually publish the post example I shared in the clip. It was just for demonstration purposes. I actually spend more time than this when writing together with agents. Lastly, having built my own agent orchestrator tool has made me realize that simplifying the tool stack is a superpower. If you are curious about how all this works, I will do a live session next week:show more

When people ask me why I don't deal with... alotta people..I bring up situations like this.. I hosted a live event with 4 (Dalvin Cook) last year to give FSU fans something dope after a rough season I let the Jax Seminoles club be a part of it (even though I didn't need them to make it happen)..could've gotten 4 on my show regardless, I just like showing love That being said, my goal is to do more live events where I get to celebrate FSU legends, and alum..highlighting their careers, businesses, etc..of course I'll do events that aren't related to FSU as well During the process one of the people involved on the process tried to backdoor me for some 💰(ahh silly rabbit) It was dumb to me, because it wasn't a crazy amount of money, and it wasn't worth messing up a relationship..folks be thirsty tho..and I'm big on principle You ain't gonna eat off of me (especially in a situation when I don't need you and I'm looking out) and then try to finess too lol.. I was sent this video of them taking all the credit for the event that wouldn't have happened without Trials To Triumph, and they tried to zoom in and crop me out of the video lol People will move dirty then play victim and be mad at you for calling them out on it lol..I wasn't the only one upset..my sponsors were upset, and didn't wanna do business with the person from the club anymore I'm sure that this is not a reflection of everybody involved with the club..not a smart way to treat alum though This is also a good lesson for someone else who may be going through situations where people try to play with you, lie on your name, or steal from you..sitting there and be quiet will only make the issue worse in the long run..use your voice and speak up, otherwise you're responsible for the other people later down the line that end up with the same experience that could've been avoided if they were made aware early on That being said, while folks were trying to finesse, we were locking in deals with national brands, and will be hosting a lot more events this year..I definitely wanna put something special together in the spring and before the season for FSU fans Full episode with Dalvin Cook is on YouTube, and we have a Huge episode dropping with Derrick Brooks tomorrow as well‼️ Stay 💯show more

Today was the day. I gifted my mother $10,000.... Something I dreamed of in the start of my trading journey. My parents have always been there for me. At first they didn’t believe in my journey, yet still they supported me. I promised them MULTIPLE TIMES that I was going to take care of them, yet the only thing they did was laugh it off. Yet here we are. Why do I trade? To provide to my family and to the ones that supported me. To achieve all the goals that 18 year old me set out to achieve. I was lost, yet I didn’t stop because I knew that I had bigger things planned for me. Was it hard? Absolutely. Was it worth it? Absolutely. After 3 years of putting the work in, I became profitable, and now, 5 years in, I’m able to provide to myself and my family…and that’s the only thing I care about.show more

🛜 POSSIBLE STUTTER FIX FOR CS2 🛜 I just... did some tests on an offline and online server and i have noticed that cl_updaterate is set to 20 by default. You can actually change the value for 128 or whatever while you are still on the server ( i recommend that u disconnect to do it ) Another thing that CAPET ☀️ linked me is a full list of CS2 console commands, some of them are working and some of them are either cheat protected or for devs only !

Small thread about the process of making Superman, starting... from the end. These are some of my animation retakes from S1 E01. I don't animate much--on the show I mostly write or review work--but there was a LOT of work to do on 1, and it was my privilege/job to pitch in and help.show more

I'm seeing some unnecessary beef between some Dain stans... and Barbie stans. First of all, I wouldn't even dare compare those two girls. They were given the same lines but sang it differently. Not because of the difference in skill, but because of the difference in character. I am beyond thankful that Dain gave those lines her own flavour, Barbie would be proud. Second, I wouldn't think about trying to replace one for the other. I'm just happy that baemon is full of girls capable of carrying each other's burdens. Do you think Dain was carrying this responsibility with happiness and excitement alone? No, she was probably anxious, restless, and under immense pressure. But she delivered. Again, Barbie would be proud. Lastly, this is not a competition. Last Evaluation was long done and dusted. I am happy. Not only because Dain had the lines and not only because she delievered. But because this meant a window of opportunity for Dain's future, and a window of respite for Barbie's hardwork. I am proud of them, both of them. And I know for a fact that Barbie would do the same for Dain in a heartbeat — because they're sisters. So I don't care if you're a RAMI stan or a RORA stan, if you try to pit them against each other then you're no one's stan. Get out.show more

I've rewritten this several times, but I can't find... any better way to say it... so here it goes. One of the things I'm scared of most, is time. Particularly, time that is wasted. There's a sundial that hangs on my wall with an inscription that says, "I have done nothing good today, I have lost a day." X has always been a place where I wanted to put out things that didn't waste anyone's time. Whatever post I put out, whatever thought, whatever story, comment,... whatever it was, was worth the time for you to read it, and for me to create it. Because I know, in my bones, that the time we have is precious and thought of wasting even a minute of yours or mine doing something worthless, is genuinely one of my greatest fears. As we were walking down this mountain together, my son looks up at me and says, "Dad... God made me VERY good at hiking." I laughed and say, "Yeah he did!" A couple minutes go by and he stops, he turns at looks at me, and goes: "Dad, God made you VERY good at work and work is very important..." That got me. I often worry that my work pulls me too far away from my kids. Even more than that... ...I know that what I do on X does cause and will cause life to be harder for my kids than if I chose to remain silent Walking off that mountain, one of my deepest fears about wasting time was answered by the very person I was afraid I might be hurting. As a dad, that means everything.show more
