2/ A quick little demo showing @MightyApp in action: indistinguishable from Google Chrome running at 4K, 60 frames a second, while taking no more than 500 MB of RAM.
After starting my 2nd company in 2019, I decided I would write down useful lessons I learned or re-learned along the way. Some were hard-earned & others required steady focus. A thread that I hope may help other founders starting out 👇
2/ Clarifying your plans: the first thing I did was write down a 7-page Elon Musk-style master plan. Write down what problem you plan to solve, how you'll solve it, and why it's important. Then have your smart friends critique it. Let no valid question go unanswered.
3/ End every conversation with an expert about your industry with: "Why do you think I am going to fail?" to lean into brutally understanding what you need to de-risk.
Introducing our first @MightyApp hacking bounty:
- Support Twitter Emoji's in Chromium on Ubuntu
- $5,000 to the first person who submits a working patch + video proof
- Make this library work but with Chromium: github.com/eosrei/twemoji…
- Test: Go to notion, use emoji for a page
Happy to answer and clarify this bounty through the comments of this thread.
The spirit of this bounty is to have nice emoji's on Linux Chromium browsers since they're quite ugly otherwise.
The patch can be made opensource—we don't view this as core IP.
I will happily have a 60 min call with whoever wins first and second place helping you either with your startup or just to make your acquaintance.
3/ Great civilizations go through a similar arch: technological improvements, become less resilient, and fall. There's a possibly a short window of time to become multi-planetary.
1/ An ongoing thread about all the interesting announcements I am hearing from @nvidia this week...
2/ "AI software analyzes the key facial points of each person on a call and then intelligently re-animates the face in the video on the other side. [...] reduce video bandwidth consumption down to one-tenth of the requirements of the H.264 streaming video compression"
3/ Demos of futuristic Zoom calls here that will blow your mind:
