So much for a good faith discussion here. I don't appreciate that you tell me to "get a grip". You're not steelmanning. Instead, your reaction comes off as a knee jerk reaction. There are enough communities where I have

Go to the Netherlands, to the Kruidvat (or Etos or something similar) and just buy a lifetime worth of supply of Melatonin. It's 0.1 mg. I'm Dutch and live here. But my wife is American. If I ever happen to live in the US (chances

What worked for me is mirtazapine at 7.5 mg (higher will make it a stimulant anyway). The irony is my doctor is really sceptical. A friend prescribed it to me, who is also a doctor. And he was a bit pissed at my doctor. Quite literally: &qu

Meanwhile all I do is vibecode. I get the outcomes I want though. I see vibe coded apps as requirement documents. Rarely do I have to engineer. If my job gave me some actual tasks, then maybe I'd engineer something. But at home? Vibe c

A friend of mine, non-technical, is not making money with his apps. But he's creating a street fighter like game. Just for fun. So there's that. He can't exactly release it because he uses a lot of copyrighted stuff. It'

Just like humans, AI needs a "reality" to check things against. If we don't provide that in an automated way, somehow, it will always make mistakes and we'd have to point it out. Since, at that point, we're just med

Fuck it, I feel the hype. Time to cold email some people a couple of tokens of appreciation. I don't expect anything, but they need to know the positive impact they've had. Thanks once again HN, this is gonna be fun. Also, feel fr

The annoying issue sometimes is that while it is faster to do it yourself, the context of the LLM is not updated. So now you have you to mention that and mentioning it is a bit fuzzier sometimes than the LLM simply doing the rename itself,

Unfortunately (or fortunately) for me, it’s too much fun to try to learn everything. Perhaps I should see it as a hobby, not as my mission in life. For the last 3 decades I acted as if it was my mission. That’s how much fun it is. But yea s

> I'm not convinced attention spans themselves have changed; I think it has more to do with the fact that people's brains aren't defaulting to daydreaming anymore when bored. Yea sometimes stuff has to sink in or marinate.

Update: the project that we worked on for the past month got pulled and we now have to work on a new project. I am happy to report I only worked during the meetings and a bit outside of it, and feel totally vindicated by this approach.

I normally don't write stuff like this but I did not expect 9 upvotes. I expected a karma hit (but I prefer to just write honestly what I think). That's informative, thank you.

I do this at work a lot and often the problem goes away because the stakeholders above me couldn't agree on the problem being important enough to solve for a long enough time. When a problem survives this, usually it's worth solvi

While I haven't done a lot with the idea (one month of concentrated work a few years ago, before LLMs), my idea is: the stylus needs to become way more digitized. Keyboards and trackpads are fine, but a computer that understands intent

For me what helped is taking 7.5 mg of mirtazapine. At higher levels it's an anti-depressant but at lower levels it's an anti-histamine. It gets me drowsy. Together with 0.3 mg melatonin it knocks me out. I only take it 3 times pe
