A useful way to look at the effects of vitamin d and omega-3s: supplementation isn't really a hack, it's more that their removal is a handicapping of our "normal" state. Our evolutionary conditions would have been more r

Something like this would be great for Cursor, I never know how many credits I’m up to for the month or how much my Max calls are costing.

I think we're talking past each other (or maybe mysticism and Hegel don't mix!). These mystical experiences touch at something on a different level than reason, a little closer to base metal. I mean that no reason or representatio

This was inspiring, what a cool idea. Just curious—-for 4o mini isn’t there a json mode that reliably produces structured output? Was that what you were referring to / ended up using?

Strategically increasing the amount of light I'm exposed to was a game changer. Turns out we're bad at gauging how much light is in our environment. Few would suspect that the amount of lux we're exposed to indoors is often f

Yes, that's explored in the sequel. He lives on in Urique, Mexico where his likeness is plastered everywhere and is the namesake for the big annual race in that town.

It is insane in today's world! But big mileage (barefoot, no less) is something we evolved for. Check out the great book Born to Run by Chris Macdougal which explores that concept.

Commenting on the useful-not-useful split here. Rather than discuss the current “quality of code produced” it seems more useful to talk about what level of abstraction it’s competent at (line, function, feature), and whether there are any c

Hey Komod, good callouts. It could be improved, I'll clarify these points on the site. - We cannot see your YouTube activity => ie what you watch, search for, like, subscribe to. This is clearly explained beneath the TLDR section. W

Congrats on the launch! Are you addressing any specific issues with product hunt? Would be nice to see those on the homepage, as it’s not clear from the website copy what the advantage is.

For the creator of this product (and to any other creators launching soon): don't listen to the keyboard jockeys saying it will fail. We (commenters here) are essentially NPCs in your world. We're not your narrow target market, ju

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that. I relate to this because I've dealt with depression too, which I also medicated in various ways. Other than quitting the two aforementioned drugs, what helped a lot for me was living in a more evolu
