AI-native UX What do apps look like when you design AI first? Starting a thread to collect some examples I've found.
I am part of the tourism industry and have been vociferously saying this for the last 2+ years - we have become an overpriced dump of a destination. Every single agent/partner of ours in the UK, EU, Australia & USA has the following questions - air quality, general hygiene &…
My conversation with @naval. Enjoy! (0:00) - The Theory of Everything (4:48) - How do you know what’s true? (7:51) - Groups search for consensus, individuals search for truth (13:07) - We have never run out of a single resource (15:25) - Are we destroying the Earth? (17:48) -…
@shreyas Cruises ( with lots of people) are ideal breeding grounds for lots of viruses. Take your vitamic C or other immunity boosters, wash hands regularly, avoid the crowds. Other than that, Enjoy.
@shreyas Sailpak makes a kit with a bunch of stuff you’ll need, including the ginger based patch for seasickness (works well), the magnet hooks and the cruise ship luggage tags. Also, don’t accidentally plug your 110V portable fan into the 220V converter
I'm 38. When I was 28 I worshipped identity politics, went woke & believed in the fantasy of equality. Then I discovered Albert Camus, and he changed my life forever. 11 lessons from France's most controversial & unknown philosopher:
@MarceloPLima ChatGPT itself is skeptical of this and thinks the whole AI agent thing is overhyped. Here is a lengthy response from it when I asked about making an AI agent to handle property management tenant collections: At its core, integrating AI like OpenAI into an app often feels like…
What’s a movie that’s basically a masterpiece but no one talks about? I’ll start:
Reply with something you believed very strongly in but then changed your mind about once you learned more.
11 of my favorite @paulg essays: 1. “Keep Your Identity Small.” This piece just becomes more and more important. One of the key lines: “The more labels you have for yourself, the dumber they make you.” 2. “How to Think for Yourself.” Here’s one of my favorite excerpts from it:…
i strongly recommend this #book if you’re entering into your 40s, 50s or beyond. talks about acceptance of the inevitable changes that happen to us as we age, and what makes midlife a difficult period for people addicted to professional success.
This conversation was like a warm bath with a hot cup of tea. travel guru @RickSteves will inspire you and console you all at once. Read/listen
@yasser_elsaid_ Totally, i think it’s because v0 and stuff can easily spin out pretty looking landing pages but building actual ai agents that works reliably in production still requires deep engineering & product expertise 🫡
My predictions for the future: (work, business, health, love, family, software, space) 2035-2099:
What (digital) products do you consider the most well crafted / best designed? From a user experience perspective. This can be B2B SaaS, consumer, desktop, fintech—anything you think is just really well designed. (Working on something and curious what products bubble to the top…
As an atheist, I never considered the story of Moses might actually be true. But now, as a Christian, I can think more clearly, and it seems strange to think it wasn’t. Why would the Jews preserve this as real history if it wasn’t? Did some guy convince the 12 tribes, “Hey,…
The following 7 documentaries have shaped my thinking and changed my behavior over the last several years. I revisit them often. 1. Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain. I deeply appreciated the nuanced portrayal. The archival and outtake footage alone make it well worth…
@sobedominik Batch publish them and make sure that there's a good internal linking structure at work. This allows the overall websites to get indexed faster. Manually submit a sitemap if you can. With 5,000 pages you want to maximize your chances for getting indexed as soon as possible

If you want to learn <Coding> with AI, Here's the prompt that you can add in "Rules for AI" section on cursor. Credits: @mckaywrigley I took his original prompt, ran it through o1 model. Asked it to crtique this prompt and make it a 10/10 prompt. Prompt: "You are an AI…
So I’m travelling to Pune after a while. By train from Mumbai! Happened to open @zomato and saw this prompt to enter my PNR!
I'm building the same app using all popular AI IDEs. Their progress is insane > Replit got way better at UI > Cursor shipped coding agents > Windsurf entered the game and made a nice > V0 can do full-stack apps > Bolt is turning noncoders into coders Mega thread on AI IDEs🧵:
great advice from @simonw on how to store timestamps in a database
Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.
One stunning lesson from the last 100 years is that a technology is not "unlocked" for civilization by researching it, instead a technology mostly turns out to be the living knowledge in the thousands of heads who work on that technology. If they die, the technology mostly dies.
3. Once you got your Docs done. Its time for Frontend Code. You have 2 options: 1. For High Quality UI: use v0 2. For Standard UI: use Claude If you pick v0, attach the created docs and ask it to start coding page by page. If you work with claude, ask it to start coding…
My brilliant med student asked me to explain correlation, causation, confounding &collider bias. I used the following ex… so sharing here in case anyone finds it helpful! PS -I have learned much from @dnunan79 @Catalogofbias - a great resource for EBM. hopefully he approves😅
This is why my books contain relatively few numbers and data. That’s because data only tells a partial story. I could easily cherry pick data to fit my argument. Or convince the reader they should rely on this and that metric, and create blind spots in them. Or craft a theory…
Worth reading. Never stop learning.

Who’s the most competent person you know *in your field of work* that is on Twitter and mostly posts about their craft (not too much on politics, etc)?

Just to be clear... Adani is charged with "bribing Indian Government officials $250 million" He is not being charged in Indian judicial system. But he is being charged by the American judicial system because by making such bribes he "defrauded" American investors in his company.…
Finding relevant papers for literature review takes a lot of time. So, MIT researchers built Undermind, an AI-powered search engine. It can generate well-researched overviews on any topic and is 10-50 times better than Google Scholar. Here's how to use it:
This is Javier Milei. He became president of Argentina and achieved what economists said was impossible. In a 2-hour interview with @lexfridman, he explains how he slashed 3,000+ regulations in 6 months. And why Elon & Vivek are taking notes: 🧵

Fascinating research shows that language shapes far more than how we speak—it influences how we think about time and plan for tomorrow. Speakers of languages with strong present-future distinctions (like English) tend to save less and take more risks than those using languages…

Smart people understand this and create high-pressure situations to force growth in a positive direction. I call this Tactical Stress. Some examples: - Moving across the country and forcing yourself to learn how to survive.
First, you *have* to understand who these charlatans prey on: People who are scared and vulnerable. People who have been betrayed by authorities or the establishment. People who have been disempowered. That's why, when Clement visited Canada to sell people on his clinic, he…
@JonHaidt @jessesmithsoc Those on the bottom (women, people of color) generally know more about those on top (men, whites) than vice versa. For those on the bottom knowing the powerful was important to survival.
@JonHaidt @jessesmithsoc Painting conservatives with a brush that is less generous as possible helps progressives to define themselves as noble and moral in comparison to their political outgroup. I suspect that what is happening in academia is happening in journalism.
@JonHaidt @jessesmithsoc So why do such work? Smith puts it well “The aim is not to enlighten the ignorant or convert the skeptic so much as to stir the heart of the believer. “ This type of research has the purpose to make progressive feel better not to provide info.
First, as demonstrated in the work of @JonHaidt, conservatives understand the perspectives of progressives better than vice versa. I do not believe that is an accident. And it is a key to the confusion of leftists.

I am terrorized at the number of "data scientists" who don't have the faintest notion of ASYMMETRY under uncertainty, can't grasp the difference between evidence of absence and absence of evidence.
