Customary Friday hard rock tweet... I get some sh*t from folks that say Rock is dead. Hate to break it to you, but it ain't. This is just one... there many, many more. The beauty of living in the Seattle area, is that Rock never left. It has always been here...

Customary classic rock Friday tweet: "Just as every cop is a criminal and all the sinners saints, as heads is tails just call me Lucifer 'cause I'm in need of some restraint, Pleased to meet you. I hope you guess my name..."

I'm really trying to like this platform, but so far, no joy. I'm following all my actual friends and a lot of folks in the area I care about (AI). Still, my feed is just... meh... My twitter feed thou, after extensive cleanup, is a lot more fun. I DO want an alternative, so I'll give this a chance.

Sometimes everything goes right in a startup week. The best partner, world-class advisors, 2 TOP customers, wowed VCs, securing the best talent daily and filing 2 patent applications. Hell yeah I'm playing Guns N' Roses at concert levels tonight...

Me: what would you like to watch tonight? Her: let’s watch “Predator” After 25 years, I can still be surprised and amazed. How the hell a geek like me got so lucky?

For my customary classic rock Friday tweet, I feel like listening to a quintessential LA band tonight... stay strong friends!

11 AM feels like 4 PM when you have a startup. This productivity is unimaginable at large corporations.

I'm lucky enough to have a rare copy of the original Alan Parker's movie "The Wall" (1982). I ran it through @topazlabs.bsky.social video AI software. OMG... it's like it was done in 2025... seriously, you need to do this.

For my customary Friday classic rock tweet, I don't have much to say other than... 🐕🐷🐑

As 2024 closes, it's hard for me to believe it's been 20 years since the release of the remake of Battlestar Galactica. I grew up with the original one in the 80s, so the 2004 version was a huge thing for me. Everything will get old and be forgotten eventually...

Between the 24th and 25th, I shipped 4,600 lines of high-quality code: a multi-DB abstraction layer for an AI system that handles graph, vector, document, temporal, and spatial data, allowing complete separation of concerns at every level of the system, with... Full post: x.com/ramirosalas/...

For my customary Friday classic rock tweet I have only one word:

For my customary Friday classic rock tweet: the song line-up in AC/DC's European Tour this year was pretty spectacular: If You Want Blood (You've Got It) Back In Black Demon Fire Shot Down In Flames Thunderstruck Have A Drink On Me... (if you want the full list, go here: x.com/ramirosalas/...)

For my customary Friday classic rock tweet: I just snatched tickets to see AC/DC in Vancouver, BC next April! 🤘😎🤘

When you design and build speakers, never focus on what your customers are listening with them. You'd quit the business. Apply this principle to any business.

You shouldn't get annoyed if someone points out that a "-15% discount" is actually a markup

I'm really liking Anthropic's new MCP protocol, so I created an MCP server that uses the Tavily search & news API, including explicit inclusion/exclusion lists. Now Claude can perform very granular web search calls. github.com/RamXX/mcp-ta...

I haven’t been on this site for more than 2 weeks and I already got blocked by someone just because I liked som AI-generated art. Never had that issue on the other site. I guess people like echo chambers. So please block/unfollow me now because I’m e/acc all the way.

For my customary Friday rock tweet: There was no better voice than Freddie Mercury in the entire history of Rock. Lots of seconds but all far behind. Nobody comes even close.

In the last couple of years, I've done attended a lot of concerts. My top 5 ranking (IMHO): 1. Roger Waters - Vancouver, BC 2. Guns N' Roses - Seattle 3. The Rolling Stones - Seattle 4. ZZ Top - Victoria, BC 5. David Gilmour - Hollywood, CA

You will never be as free as playing "air guitar" while listening to real rock. x.com/ramirosalas/...
