Simplifying the decision to use Sanctum or Passport for API authentication. 🧘♂️
Building API and need to give users API keys → do you want them to obtain those keys through an OAuth flow?
If yes, use Passport (it's a library specifically for doing OAuth).
If no, use Sanctum.
40% of startups die after a seed.
50% of the remainder die after a Series A.
60% of the remainder die after a Series B.
58% of the remainder die after a Series C.
Roughly ~2.5% after the seed are acquired, so not “dead”.
0.5-1% go IPO.
Startups are hard.

You know what's bothering me for no reason?
Up until 1080p, we referred to video resolutions by their VERTICAL RESOLUTION
426x240 = "240p"
854x480 = "480p"
1280x720 = "720p"
1920x1080 = "1080p"
But then above that, we started using HORIZONTAL resolution, but rounded
7680x4230 = "8K"
3840x2160 = "4K"
And then for everything in between, we just... threw that out?
2560x1440 = "2K" ?????????
2772x1272 = "1.5K" ????????
My favorite way to learn is now uploading a bunch of source material to AI and then doing this:
“Help me understand this paper step by step. Go from high level (simple explanations) to incredibly low-level, detailed technical explanations until I understand it. Do not advance without confirming that I understand each step with a quiz question first.”
It has not failed me once. It’s very enjoyable and easy to pause and restart.

Blender 5.0 comes with new options for working color spaces - Rec.2020 and ACEScg. Which should you use? Turns out, bigger is not always better! You don't get "more colors". Here's why 👇🧵

From Ilya’s deposition—
• Ilya plotted over a year with Mira to remove Sam
• Dario wanted Greg fired and himself in charge of all research
• Mira told Ilya that Sam pitted her against Daniela
• Ilya wrote a 52 page memo to get Sam fired and a separate doc on Greg

When I took a 3D animation class in high school, I would do all my work in Blender and then sneak it into class on a flash drive and import it into 3ds Max because I hated that software so much
I’m amazed how many students, even in first year, already know Blender. Even though the university teaches Maya, nobody seems to be happy to learn it. In the second year, students can use any software they want and most of them ditch Maya for Blender. #b3d
