Unfortunately we’re in the phase where even if you write things yourself, be it prose with em dashes or code with velocity, you’re given a demerit. And, if you are using AI, the work is still treated as less valuable, even if it brings valu

@dang can we prune some of these search and aggregator tools? Some are clearly not being kept up to date.

I understand where you’re coming from, but anecdotally the same thing happened to me except I have less clarity on why and no refund. I got an email back saying my appeal was rejected with no recourse. I was paying for max and using it for

I experienced this with lobsters and deleted my account there. They describe it as a garden party, which is accurate. And it’s very easy to ruffle the feathers of those at the garden party if you dare question the politics.

Given one’s ability to trade in-game assets for real world ones, it’s not very different from any other virtual assets and so I agree with the appeal decision to treat it as something that can be stolen.

speaking of claude code in Ghostty, I’ve noticed I can’t drag and drop images into the prompt when the session is within a tmux pane. I miss that, coming from the mac terminal app, which allowed me to do so. I’d be willing to look into this

@mitchellh what did you use for the memory visualizations? Looks nice, and the website plays well with mobile. Whats the stack?

With regard to AI, why not throw this whole article in an .md file and point CLAUDE.md to it? Codex is better at following rules so maybe you’d have more luck with that. But yeah, AI won’t code your way by default. People expect way too muc

I have an out-there hypothesis I’d want to test. Much of the population has one or more MTHFR mutations, which can increase homocysteine if left untreated and that’s been linked to increased risk in stroke. Treatment includes more B vitamin

Interesting to see all the people in this thread who had a stroke. I had a mild and then moderate cerebellar stroke within a 7 day span about two years ago. I remember being on the stroke neurology floor of the hospital with a lot of bed ri

It started as a mix of self-imposed pressure and actually enjoying marking tasks as complete. Now I feel resistant to relaxing things. And no, I definitely don’t get paid more.

Lol this person talks about easing into LLMs again two weeks after quitting cold turkey. The addiction is real. I laugh because I’m in the same situation, and see no way out other than to switch professions and/or take up programming a

Are you open to code contributions? I’d like to see this sooner than later and would be willing to help.

In my experience limiting myself to two projects in parallel is most productive, with a clear primary project whose agent’s completion take precedence over the other’s. It lets me still have concurrent work going on, but I’m very clearly st

The physical performance kind. Conversely beet root, L-Citruline, and supplemental NO are commonly used for ED. That’s why medications like tadalafil and sildenafil work. NO relaxes your blood vessels and increases blood flow generally.

The author got too big for their britches and was drunk on perceived power. No need to have many parallel agents going on. Focus on one project and implementing features one at a time and dogfooding and testing. Shipping any code, vibed or

Lots of in-depth analysis, but I think the author is very clearly emotionally invested to the point that they are only drawing conclusions that justify and support their emotions. I agree that we’re in a bubble in the sense that a lot of th
