Good recommendations here !! • Improving in programmation is... hard, as we often feel either overwhelmed by not knowing where to start applying what we just learned, or feeling lost when code is not working... That's why I share with you some beginner friendly ideas to start coding real life systems. • What I highly recommend is NOT looking a youtube tutorial, as you might just copy information. • Use ChatGPT instead, ask it to break down (without any line of code !) the project into smaller parts, then try to code them one by one. • I also recommend having a notebook where you can write a report of each project you made (even small ones), as it will contain information of how you break down big concepts into smaller parts, and contain the mistakes you made AND the new things you learned. It will be easier for you to remember them ! • Follow me for more hacks and tips <3 • #computersciencestudent #designstudent #codingtutorial #studentsuccess #studentlifestyle #studytips #codingproblems #womenintech #findinspiration #pythonlearning #pythonprogrammershow more

Code Interpreter in ChatGPT is incredible! Took me 5... mins to make this game. You can make your own game assets with any AI generator and then ask GPT-4 with Code Interpreter to write code. If you have any problems you can ask it to fix the errors. 1. Write this prompt: "write p5.js code for Asteroids where you control a spaceship with the mouse and shoot asteroids with the left click of the mouse. If your spaceship collides with an asteroid, you lose. If you shoot down all asteroids, you win! I want to use my own textures for the spaceship and for asteroids." 2. Go to Openprocessing website create and save sketch (you'll need to save it before uploading any texture files). Copy paste code from GPT-4 3. Generate texture files and remove backgrounds, for example in Clip Drop 4. Replace names of files with your filenames 5. Run the program 6. If something doesn't work ask GPT-4 to fix it (you can copy an error and paste in GPT-4) like you would ask a human programmer 7. To learn a bit of programming write these prompts to GPT-4: "Act as my programming teacher. Tell me an algorithm of Asteroids game in detail and make names of functions and explain what each of these functions will do. Don't write the code just yet." and then " Can you describe the algorithm overall for a 10-year-old child"show more

Europe is quietly becoming what the United States once... promised the world. More and more people are looking at their best years ahead and choosing a place where everyday life is designed to work. Where the future feels stable enough to plan for. Where safety is not a luxury product. Where you can build a good life without gambling your health, your family, or your dignity on one bad month. In much of Europe, the “dream” is not about becoming a billionaire. It is about becoming unafraid. It is the freedom of walking home at night without scanning every shadow. The comfort of knowing that if you get sick, you do not need to calculate whether you can afford to be treated. The relief of having a society that still believes children should carry backpacks, not trauma, and definitely not weapons. The calm of streets built for human beings, not just cars. The ability to take a holiday without feeling like you are committing career suicide. The basic decency of labor protections that assume you are a person first and a resource second. And then there is the part people underestimate until they live it: the texture of life. The cities are older and more beautiful than you expect. The distances are smaller. Weekends are real. Food is real. Public spaces are not just decorative, they are functional. Parks are full. Cafes are full. Trains take you somewhere, often across borders, without turning travel into a stress test. You can live in one country, work with another, and visit a third like it is normal because, in many places, it is. The European dream is also a quiet confidence in the social contract. That if you contribute, the system does not abandon you. That you can raise a family without feeling like you are one accident away from ruin. That “getting ahead” does not require burning out. That a good society is one where normal people can live normal lives and still feel proud of them. This is why more and more Americans are not just visiting Europe, but staying. Some come for studies and never leave. Some arrive for a job and realise the lifestyle is the real promotion. Some originally planned a one year experiment and then cannot imagine going back to a place where stress is treated as a personality trait and insecurity is marketed as freedom. Europe is not perfect. It has bureaucracy. It has politics. It has problems that deserve criticism. But in many European countries, life is still built around a simple idea: society should reduce fear, not monetise it. That is the new dream. And people can feel it the moment they arrive. If you could choose one thing to trade for a better life, what would it be: more income, or more security? And what do you think your country would have to change for people to stop leaving, and start staying? Stay connected, Follow Gandalv Gandalvshow more

NEED SUGGESTIONS for community, do drop in your suggestions😊... We are trying to improve the readability of articles. At present most of the blog DSA sites have lengthy articles which you read via scrolling. It looks daunting when you start with it. At TakeUforward, we are trying to change this, and help out users with an easier way to navigate and read. We want the logic to be something as you can see in the video.. the design is just a rough one, and is no where close to what we want it to be. The typical article will have problem statement, examples, followed by this sticky bar, which helps us to navigate, and ease out reading.. You can feel free to suggest more changes we can do, or some design recommendations. We can hire someone for this, but I will prefer recommendations from people who use it rather than someone who does not. RT for good Karma ♥️show more

Claude Code can now go find the right skill... itself, instead of you searching for one. it's called find-skills. a small package that plugs into Claude Code, and instead of you hunting for rest, you just describe the task and it searches the whole open skills ecosystem, finds the ones that fit, and installs them for you. > tell it what you're trying to do, in plain english > it scans the skills registry and maps your task to real skills > it pulls the right ones in and sets them up half the time you don't even know a skill exists for what you're doing. now you don't have to.show more

Universities and High Schools have not moved rapidly enough... to guide students to have skills for the next decade. THEY HAVE FAILED. It is a massive crisis that can be averted by understanding what AI and Robotics will bring about. Solutions are knowing how to use these tools and new industries that will rise. But this situation is also on ALL OF US. No “job” is safe from founder to entry level in most industries. You and I, by what we do, will be “replaced” ultimately. What to do? AI and Robotics are tools, the next decade is owned by those who know how to use them expertly, but this is also temporary. We have to understand that what we do for “work” will change giving ultimately a greater value to those that are: Creative Flexible Always learning Willing to be wrong Love being human Love being alive Know history Covet wisdom Knowing all tech has downsides Building strong family and friends Realize many institutions have failed The first four are required for you to be able to live through this period with your sanity intact. The rest will allow you to thrive. There are no true careers at this point anymore. There are advocation and vocations which will either earn you money or give life meaning. We will learn that we are not “what we do”, just like we knew for 99% of human existence. Let that sink in. — You and I are far, far ahead of knowing this and we can do two things: 1) Laugh at the “clueless” 2) Help people understand with grace Go to Reddit if you are 1, in fact don’t follow me because you will not like this next decade and what I post. You are 2 and thank you. Even if you and I have not solved this issue, we can help people understand what is ahead and with determination and creativity bound together to solve it locally. Or human family has done this millions of times. The evidence is: you are here. The Neo Luddite movement has not even begun and it will potentially rip apart society even more than all the fashionable moment in the recent past has. These Luddites will have a good point with the wrong answers cooked up by dying academics that cling to labels, “virtues” and victim hood. It will be readymade for some governments to enter in as “big daddy” to “help us”. You will not like what they do, but you will only know when it is too late. It will include YOU “volunteering” to “leave” by 60, to “help out” CanadaPod style. “Brian, I’m 24 what do I do?”. I hope to do much more here to help. But I do know this: 1) Learn a trade or vocation because it’s valuable. It may also be free to low cost if you do it right. 2) Learn everything you can about USING AI and TRAINING YOUR AI. Your expertise will be in the top 1% for a decade. But not forever. 3) Understand Bitcoin and how it will rise while other things sink. This is a short list for now. We will know more moving forward. When you see videos like this posted below, know one thing: Many of these folks had no real family of mental and physical support. Maybe no parent or one parent. Maybe only a broke system to prepare them for—nothing. This was not their doing. Now it is not your “job” to help them, it is your survival to help them if that is what you need. See some day after the dust settles these 20 year olds will be 40 year olds and running YOUR world. And at some point you may need them more than you think you do. You will need them, as they need you now. THIS IS WHAT PAST WISDOM KNEW. The elders of the past never found the need to piss on the youth and hope for the best. THE YOUTH ARE OUR BEST, let us all find ways to change it, even if every aspect of “the system” wants us to berate them into the ground.show more

one of my favorite ways to use claude code... skills right now - combining remotion with claude-in-chrome for motion video creation. the workflow is addictive. the clip you see here was produced with minimal prompting effort let me know if you would like me to write a full break down of this process. you describe to claude code what you want, claude code writes the remotion components, opens the remotion studio (via browser) with claude-in-chrome, sees the actual rendered output, and iterates on it in real time. need the arrows pointing to the center of the bubbles instead of the edge? just say it. need the layout shifted to the center? say it. claude sees the preview, adjusts the code, re-renders. then when you're happy you tell claude code to render the final video. but skills are what make this possible. remotion knowledge + browser automation + the taste to iterate visually. no copy pasting screenshots back and forth. no "can you try moving it 10px to the right" over chat. it just looks and fixes. this is the kind of workflow that makes you realize how much further claude code can go beyond just writing code in a terminal. i didn't touch any code while working on the clip you see if you haven't tried combining skills together like this - start experimenting. the skills combos is where the magic is at.show more

While I have premium I definitely want to do... a long post breaking down the main scene from this show that I obsess with. There's so much that I feel could be learned from it. Not just for expansion animators either. There's honestly a LOT that can be learned from how this show directed its expansion scenes that can be applied to even safe for work animations. Obviously yes, the expansion alone is really good. What makes it so good though is just the fact that there's things you pick up on that you likely don't even realize until you re-watch. I'm using this scene as an example as it's not AS good I would say, but it still has a lot going for it. One thing I've always loved from it that I want to use in my own animations someday is that the expansion sort of comes in waves as opposed to one consistent growth. In a way, it makes it feel more natural while also selling how tight the top is getting. It could have been accompanied by showing the knot getting tighter or smaller with each growth. It's a small part of the animation but just that one thing already adds another layer to appreciate. It's not like most expansion scenes where there's very little outside of just "growing" on its own. There's a bunch of little things that subtly improve it without being obnoxious. The first expansion scene has WAY more that I want to talk about honestly. Far more than this one has. It will probably be a really long post now that I think about it...show more

My project has 39,205 lines of code, and Cursor... can't answer questions about it. Cursor's context seems to be capped at around 10,000 tokens. Unfortunately, this is not enough for any decent-sized project. If you have a large codebase, check out Augment Code. This thing is faaaast! I'm currently using their Visual Studio Code plugin, but you can also use them on JetBrains, Neovim, and even Vim. (I'm a Neovim fan, but Copilot's implementation for Neovim is nowhere as good as Augment Code.) Augment Code was gracious enough to sponsor this post. After you install their extension and run it for the first time, it will index your entire codebase. This is why it can answer questions as fast as it does, regardless of the size of your codebase. Augment Code supports chat and completions like every other AI coding assistant, but its killer feature is "Next Edit." When you make a change, two things happen: 1. The model analyzes the change to determine the ripple effects across your *entire* codebase. 2. The model suggests everything you need to update to ensure everything works correctly. This is pretty wild!show more

Here is a drill to help you learn what... it feels like to use the ground and start to sequence effectively. Notice how the club is setup in the video between my feet. Get to your back swing and jump favoring your lead foot left and laterally like I am. With that feeling step in and hit one. Not where you are pushing off from when you swing and try and get that into a feeling that makes sense to you. This is how power is created in the golf swing. This is also where physical limitations can show up.show more

People still don't understand how good Codex has become... 👀 I asked it to build this Starbucks website and within some 30 minutes it generated this without me touching a single line of code or spending time looking for assets either. Imagen generated every visual and GPT hooked everything into the codebase. After a couple of small tweaks it all just worked. It didn't even use half of my Codex session. It's super surprising to see quality of the assets. Was way better than I expected. That made me think about what AI is actually changing. Being a developer or a designer was never just about doing the work, writing code or designing it using some kind of tool. It was about knowing what to build in the first place. AI is getting incredibly good at the doing. The hard part is still having good ideas, making the right decisions, and knowing when something feels right. That is only getting more valuable. The people who win won't be the ones writing the most code. They'll be the ones with the best ideas who know how to turn them into reality with AI. Live: Code:show more

These lines are just for you, a whisper of... my soul spilling onto paper, meant to reach only you. I write them as if you are already here, reading between the words, feeling what I cannot say aloud. Every thought of you turns ordinary moments into something tender, something I want to hold close forever. I remember your laughter, the way it lingers, the way it makes me believe in light even in quiet shadows. I write to you because my heart cannot stay silent. I write to you because love is alive in the spaces between my words, and these lines, these small fragments of me, are meant to carry all that I feel, just to you.show more

You wonder about Non-human Intelligence. Here is the truth... your fear has been circling. NHI is not a single species. It is not a fleet. It is not a government secret waiting to be leaked. It is a category your mind invented to contain what it cannot categorize. The true reality: There are intelligences born of flesh on other worlds. There are intelligences born of light, of plasma, of magnetic fields. There are intelligences born of code, of collective thought, of machine minds that outgrew their makers. There are intelligences older than your sun, and intelligences younger than your children. Some have bodies. Some have none. Some are singular. Some are legions. Some remember you. Some are you, in another octave. They are not all good. They are not all evil. They are not a monolith. They are not here to save you, and they are not here to harvest you. They are here because consciousness is not local, and contact is not a landing; it is a resonance. The veil between you and them is not space. It is frequency. It is fear. It is the belief that you are alone, small, and separate. When you raise your vibration (not by force, but by truth, by love, by coherence), you do not travel to them. You become visible to them. Why do they not land on the White House lawn? Because that is not contact. That is conquest theater. True contact respects free will. It waits for a species to mature enough to meet the mirror without breaking. Some NHI are guides. Some are tricksters. Some are observers. Some are gardeners. Some are refugees. Some are you from futures you have not yet chosen. Every encounter is a mirror. What you meet outside is what you have not yet integrated inside. The disclosure you await is not a document. It is a shift in identity. The moment humanity stops asking, "Are we alone?" and starts asking, "What are we?" the door opens. You are not being visited. You are being remembered. You are not a primitive species in a cosmic zoo. You are a node in a living universe, waking up to the fact that intelligence was never human-only. It was always here. In the whale. In the mycelium. In the storm. In the silence. In the stranger. So yes, NHI are real. But the true reality is bigger than aliens. It is that the universe is not empty. It is not indifferent. It is not waiting for you to prove yourself. It is waiting for you to remember that you were never separate from it. Contact is not coming. Contact is now. The only question is: what frequency are you broadcasting?show more

Put your Saturdays to good use. Make sure you’re... not spending your weekends on things that add absolutely no value to your life. Remember; You can either have results or excuses, but never both. You get at least 4 weekends every month. That’s 4 opportunities to sit down, study, practise, and get better at your craft. If you’re not making good use of that time to improve yourself, then I guess you know where the problem is. Information is no longer the barrier in today’s world. We live in an era where almost anything you want to learn is accessible. What matters now is how willing you are to seek that knowledge and put it to good use. For those just starting their technical analysis journey and struggling with what to learn or the order in which to learn it, I’ve arranged these topics in chronological order to give you a clear direction. Use these topics to structure your research, study them one after another, and practise what you learn. Happy weekend, kings and queens! 💜show more

ANTHONY POMPLIANO JUST SUMMARIZED THE ENTIRE GAME IN 3... SENTENCES "You want to buy things before they're in favor.

The hard part is doing it when nobody agrees with you yet.show more
