Method · MoneyInstead of manually writing instructions, turn prompting into a search problem. With a framework like DSPy you can stop manually writing instructions: define the exact interface contract — the inputs, the required output schema, and the scoring function — then hand it off to an optimizer like JEPA. The optimizer treats your prompt as a search space, runs against your benchmark to match historical labels, and uses feedback on failures to revise the instructions. Since nobody wants to be the one who deletes a line and breaks prod, you automate the cleanup instead of doing it manually.

AI Engineer · How to Actually Tokenmaxx and Save Millions — Alvin Pane, OutRival
Method · MoneyAlvin's first step: you can't fix what you can't measure. Instrument your shared model client so each attempt becomes part of a trace connecting model calls, tools, and retries for a single task. Record the prompt version, model settings, token usage, latency, and cost in telemetry (OpenTelemetry is a great framework for this). With that telemetry, build a benchmark of how production is behaving.

AI Engineer · How to Actually Tokenmaxx and Save Millions — Alvin Pane, OutRival
Method · MoneyAlvin's fix: run an AA test, which they call the ceiling test — take your production model and run it three separate times on the same inputs, then compare the answers. OutRival discovered their production model disagreed with itself roughly 7% of the time, meaning production's own agreement was only about 93%. The lesson: don't demand a standard of perfection from a cheap candidate that your existing expensive system can't even hit. Once you establish the ceiling test benchmark, you have a measured baseline and can start making the work cheaper — you aren't guessing, you have a mathematical baseline for how much models move around when you haven't changed a thing.

AI Engineer · How to Actually Tokenmaxx and Save Millions — Alvin Pane, OutRival
Method · MoneyTo prove you didn't break the product, run a massive shadow deployment on the exact same inputs and measure the system from three angles: production against production, candidate against candidate, and candidate against production. A useful bit of math: take the disagreement between the two versions and subtract the average disagreement inside each one; what's left measures how different their decision probabilities are. And remember: different doesn't automatically mean wrong — if your optimizer did its job, the distributions should be different, because the cheaper prompt is actually doing a better job. You aren't necessarily trying to build a perfect clone of a production system that may already have some flaws baked into it.

MethodIn Figma, click on the Variables panel on the left to access variable collections, create a new collection to organize typographic variables, and create a new variable within the collection for each typographic property you want to control. Codify each typographic property (font family, font weight, font size, line height, letter spacing) associated to a specific brand in a variable collection. Rename variable modes to brand names (e.g., Serif, Sans Serif, MOSF) to keep the type system organized, and set the brand mode at the frame level to drive all designs within that frame.

Method · MoneyPhase 1 of kickoff planning (9-12 months out) is securing the venue and vendors, including production companies and party entertainment. Phase 2 (6-9 months out) is working with your leadership team to define the goals, the theme, and the scope. Walk the venue before signing the contract; you often get a better price closer to the event, but 9-12 months out is typically the sweet spot. When sitting down with leadership, never come with just an open brainstorm — come with three to four options based on what you know. Sit down with finance to walk through the budget before spending starts.

Method · MoneyEvery walk is kept: a walk on Monday and a walk the next Monday or next quarter are both retained and aligned on a time axis. The system tracks a space, what's in the space, and the evolution of the space according to every time it is walked and measured. When the same space is walked again, it is recognized as the same space and aligned between time period A and time period B, producing a timeline.

AI Engineer · Every Building Is a Balance Sheet: Spatial Memory for Real-World Assets — Jordi Spranger, Spranic
Method · MoneyThe core method: take an off-the-shelf sensor, walk the space, and map it. As the space is mapped, all assets in the building are recognized and stored in a graph database (the building graph), which gives the captured space semantic meaning so the system can really understand the space. Property management staff can be equipped with the sensor and map the property as part of their normal walk-throughs.

Method · MoneyWhen the policy starts, walk the building to establish a first initial state of the property. Based on the initial walk state, a hyper-personalized insurance policy can be created. Walk the building again at policy renewal to see the delta and the upkeep, letting the insurance company measure the performance of the property for relevant facts against its policies and give a hyper-personalized policy with a very efficient premium. Insurers can also know about property upkeep deltas and increase premiums based on the performance of the upkeep of the property, enabling hyper-individualized insurance based on measured property upkeep.

AI Engineer · Every Building Is a Balance Sheet: Spatial Memory for Real-World Assets — Jordi Spranger, Spranic
Method · MoneyOnce you have a map, you can use it as an AI-ready asset: you can chat with it, talk with it, and ask questions against it. Asking 'Where can I heat myself?' returns the radiator; asking 'Is there a glass or mug to drink from in a kitchen?' points to the glasses and mugs in the kitchen. Chatting with the map turns it from pixels into something you can work with. Two passes of the same kitchen space can be connected and queried for the delta — in the demo, three chairs in the middle had been displaced — and chatting with the asset data identifies the delta and provides the ground source reference to the actual capture, giving proof of the change happening.

Method · BodyEugene Teo's most successful setup is a modification of a high-low split with different days of varied intensity. His big day is Monday leg day — cleans, plyos, snatches, some heavy squats, then lower body accessories — his highest-intensity day of the week. The next day is upper body focused with a little extensive plyos; no matter how hard you push upper body work, you never completely wipe yourself out the same way as the big lower body day, making it a low-to-moderate day. The general rule: plan the week with one or two high days and one to three moderate-to-low days, then fit in what needs to be fit in around those days. Doing every day like the highest-intensity leg day would leave you wiped.

Method · BodyDan teaches weightlifting to beginners using a 'ready, jump' command structure: when he says ready, they get ready; when he says jump, they jump, moving on the coach's cue rather than their own timing. The purpose is to manipulate space and time with external cues so the lifter cannot overthink between reps. Analyzing a failed rep mid-set prevents executing the next rep because there is no space or time to do so. He deliberately gets lifters a bit tired during skill acquisition so they stop trying to control the movement perfectly, pushing them to mild fatigue where they give up trying to control the movement and let their body execute. He also uses a metronome-style command approach in a non-traditional learning environment rather than letting lifters train on their own time. Fatigue in a

Method · BodyDo the first activation set close to failure, take a short rest, then perform mini sets/clusters to extend time at maximum activation. Do not take each mini set to absolute failure, since accumulated fatigue would limit the stimulus. This elevates recruitment via short rest periods and maximizes mechanical tension per fiber.

Method · BodyA complete myo-reps set is built from an activation set taken near failure, followed by short-rest mini-sets. Start with traditional reps on an 8-15 rep max load (up to 20-25 rep max if you tolerate high discomfort), end the activation set when rep speed slows noticeably, rest by counting 3-5 deep breaths rather than watching a stopwatch, do 3-5 reps on the first mini-set, match that rep count on subsequent mini-sets, and cap the set at five mini-sets. Put the weight down between mini-sets so the muscle fully rests rather than holding it under tension.

Method · MindBrooks describes a game he plays with his Harvard Business School students called 'What's my idol?' The method: assess whether you are serving worldly idols, then eliminate the idols you don't have one by one until only one remains. The last idol remaining is the one most likely to beguile you and lead you down the wrong road. Elimination is more robust than other approaches; it starts easy and gets harder, and eliminating an idol doesn't mean you don't have it — just that you're the population average. Knowing your idol won't stop all mistakes, but it lets you sometimes avoid the error, which is incredibly powerful.

Method · MindBrooks walks the audience through a self-diagnostic exercise: rank which of the four idols (money, pleasure, power, honor) you would eliminate first, second, and third — the one that remains is your idol. He explains that elimination is more robust than direct selection, that the game gets harder as it goes because remaining idols have their rewards, and that knowing your idol lets you sometimes avoid the error even though you'll still make mistakes. He hopes listeners are doing the exercise in parallel.

Method · MindBrooks describes a set of 'why' questions that interrogate whether you are in touch with the most important macronutrient of your happiness — the meaning of your life. The three big whys: (1) the coherence question — why do I think things actually happen the way that they do, and am I acting in accordance with that? (2) the purpose question — why am I doing what I'm doing, and is that in accord with my beliefs, or am I chasing an idol, control, adoration of strangers, money, or feeling good? (3) why does my life matter — and really, to whom does my life matter — and am I acting according to the people to whom my life actually matters, or am I marginalizing myself? He also asks: what is my idol, and am I serving my idols?

Method · BodyUse velocity-based training (VBT) to measure power clean bar speed at around 100 kilos (close to body weight). Make sure the VBT is linked up before the lift. At 84% intensity, expect bar speed around 2.2 meters per second on power cleans. Test whether the athlete can move 100 kilos at 2.2 or higher meters per second to know they can move their body weight well on the field. Use bar speed drop-off data to predict a good training top weight for the day, and rest about a minute and a half between attempts when bar speed is slightly below target.
