Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 18/08/2025I think one of the most interesting learnings of Genie 3 + SIMA is that generalists beat specialists and it's not even close. Maybe this will also hold true for humans over the next few decades. 000

Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 14/01/2025Hailuo just casually dropped an llm with 4 MILLION token context length. You can put 30 full length novels into that context length. We're now just one OOM away from putting the whole source code of an operating system in the context window. 150
Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 11/01/2025So, I don't get this phenomenon where companies build something great (e.g. @browsercompany @RewindAI) High usage, great pmf, even with revenue or high potential. Then they just abandon it in favor of something nobody asked for. At least make it open source when you move on... 330

Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 08/12/2024actual unpopular opinion: if you're not traveling, coding on an ultrawide is MUCH better. 580
Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 07/12/2024It's such an MVP move to casually drop those weights to HF within OpenAI's flashy marketing week. This unlocks so many use cases for extremely sensitive industries that require fully-private on-prem intelligence. Think about your local doctor being able to run this in his office. 150
Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 05/12/2024TIL: there is a huge 'gay himbo cluster' in Bluesky and I have no idea what that means. 110
Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 03/12/2024We live in a world where I can generate those pictures in <2 seconds a pop on my desktop. 230

Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 02/12/2024Went insane trying to figure out a completely new UI for project management over the weekend. What did you work on? 230
Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 02/12/2024If your macbook doesn’t have those, you’re not allowed to buy a new one yet 010
Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 01/12/2024Anybody got any ideas how to fix those coder handles on a Macbook? 120
Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 30/11/2024Is there a way to unbundle notifications? Every time I look at the notifications I don't really understand who followed me when 100
Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 29/11/2024*opens linkedin for 5 seconds* Sees post of son of hyper rich german entrepreneur post a picture of him walking on dads literal superyacht, announcing he is starting his first company with 'just passion and bravery'. Comment section: 'building a business is so hard!', 'incredible milestone!' 180
Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 29/11/2024If your commit history and revenue look like this, stop and do more marketing. I beg you. 3170
Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 28/11/2024This is the one and only thing I want to build. Everything I do is to get there. I dreamt of it when I was a kid, I actually designed it when I was studying aerospace engineering and one day I'll see it fly around in orbit. 010
Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 28/11/2024I get why people feel intimidated. Setup takes a bit, but took a ton of notes in the process to easily repeat again. 100
Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 28/11/2024For the Zapier lovers out there: OSS alternative to Zapier. It's actually pretty good. Now we just need one for Gumloop. 100
Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 27/11/2024My gf LOVES capybaras and doesn't know how to fine tune diffusion models on Spirited Away and Capybaras. Lucky for her I do 130
Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 27/11/2024What's your favorite project management software? Just added tags, but want to improve our UX/UI much more 020
Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 27/11/2024Was wondering if upgrading my Mac was worth it. Benchmarks between all the generations are hard to come by so I collected all Geekbench data and built an interactive table. 230
Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 27/11/2024Went to Taiwan last month and still can’t believe how it’s Spirited Away in real life 230
Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 26/11/2024Your reminder that timing matters (a lot): Back when ChatGPT dropped, I launched a Chrome Extension and grew it to a stable 38k WAU's with: - barely any distribution - a shitty v1 - talking to users Don't overcomplicate things. Put your ideas in good soil instead of growing plants in the desert. 040
Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 25/11/2024video quality here is not great, so a frame grab from the video 000
Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 25/11/2024Base image is what 1 step in Flux Schnell can get you in <2 seconds. Img2vid done with Hailuo. We live in incredible times. Let's accelerate 110
Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 25/11/2024This guy just casually solved complex motion tracking with SAM. Absolutely incredible work! 110
Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 24/11/2024I think we're building on edge of what AI should/shouldn't be. It should replace tedious and mechanistic tasks you don't like. It shouldn't take away what you love to work on. Manually tagging everything in a script is tedious. I want to help people do more of what they love. 000
Alex Burlis @alexburlis.com · 22/11/2024Building our project management feature in public from now on. It's an absolute pain to code, but rewarding to see when it works. Took two days to get here, but planning to get MVP out in the next few days already. 000
