Migrating from Resend to AWS email with their SES product took a couple minutes, 100% in the terminal

first casualty

sure saving $20/mo is nothing but it still feels great

my new rule is if I can't do it 100% in the terminal I'm not using your service

We’ve had a major breakthrough in our AI model for writing/editing.

We also learned a surprising lesson that is happy news for people worried about AI overtaking humans.

Deft is once again the only model that gets 100% human on Pangram (about 90% of the time)

(in case you missed it, my partner @rosmine invented a new training algorithm that writes creative prose uncorrelated with top LLMs aka slop and we’ve been refining it for several months)

What we realized is that the big LLMs do not just produce “style slop” but also information slop or what we call “content slop.” Everyone makes fun of the ’not X, but Y’ patterns but the LLMs actually overindex on certain substantive ideas too!

So if our users tried restyling text that contains AI-generated “content slop”, then our model could not rewrite it, retain coherence, and also get 100% human on Pangram. It would either retain coherence (and get flagged as AI by Pangram) or it would get 100% on Pangram but hallucinate and lose coherence.

The implication is actually really cool: Basically if you have no real, authentic, original ideas or concepts to feed it, then we can’t help you!

But so long as you have some original ideas or draft words to feed it, you should now get a well-written text that is 100% human on Pangram about 90% of the time.

Astra one-shot a complete unification of my websites, web apps, and business logic all on one AWS server lmao (replacing Gumroad, Beehiiv, Shopify, Circle, and others)

It's not about the money (though I'll save +$1k/mo if this works)

It's about the freedom and power to build anything digital, quickly and easily, without ANYTHING other than my terminal

The big question is how hard will it be to get this working reliably?

i’m pretty sure the recommendation algorithms just got way better, Netflix is suddenly surfacing tons of great stuff in a way it’s never done before—anyone noticing things like this?

Wow AWS is sooo easy and good now wtf

you can do anything on here from the terminal

New servers, email accounts, domains, almost everything you pay middlemen to help you with can be done here directly--and it's even faster and easier than logging into the middleman "convenience" GUIs
