I have an x3 and love it. It’s so small I don’t think twice about taking it everywhere. I have the crosspoint firmware on it, and I sync it with calibre.

I’m no expert on self improvement, but my ambitions tend to be a lot lower on vacation. Instead of trying to cultivate better habits, I mostly just try to interrupt the old dumb ones. Instead of phone in bed, it’s a huge win if I’m in a ham

I’ve found “burnout” is often shorthand for a feeling that something broke and there’s no complete fix. It’s a scenario where we can’t just get some sleep or take some vacation and be good as new. Even if we go back to the job and look norm

Weird, I’m usually sensitive to telltales, but I didn’t read it as AI generated enough that I stopped reading, and I found it relevant. I felt like it had a pretty substantial human input behind it, maybe because I related to the stories.

What a lovely mini journey. Turns something possibly stressful into something weird and fun.

There are many things that no one will think to later attribute to “career success” that were in fact foundational to their learning and development. In my experience it’s designed around a make/build/experiment pedagogical approa

The absurdity is the point. Comparing the merits of scratch vs game modding in children’s eventual programming career success is such a silly overly serious adult thing to do. If kids experience fun and exploration while learning along the

And plenty of great authors start with fanfic. Like actually. But apologies the snark landed that way. I was not intending to diminish people learning via game modding at all . What I found irritating in the post is the premise that what w

I still see picture books as an introductory path to literacy for kids, but unlike posting fan fiction on AO3, I have never heard a “success story”, where someone credits their early experience with picture books as key to a fulfilling care

As a mid 40s person also, my advice: drink plenty of water, clean the kitchen every night, don’t try to time the market, forgive your past self for being an idiot.

Wonderfully written. I’m intrigued by the section about emotion. It seems like no coincidence that it follows the section about seeing beyond monocausal determinism.

Why not just bake an agent into every service and chat with it? Sounds more fun at least.

It’s not just solo developers. Startup teams with limited time that are focusing their energy on finding the right product to build also use openrouter. I think the bet is that you offer enough value-adds that companies who find traction do

Hi, thanks for reading and your comment. Reviewing now, I can see why the final paragraph might have read this way. What I was hoping to convey in the last two paragraphs was that I was trying to be thoughtful with where I use AI (work proj

Thank you for your thoughtful response. I was hoping others might relate to this experience in some way. I wonder about the transcendence take as well. I think a lot of us are strapped into this ride regardless. If there’s a fresh new parad

No, but a lot is. You see a version of this in every tech boom cycle, but this one is way more reflexive. Mature technical software projects are slow moving because they have real users building other real software and businesses with them.

What a weird title. Parchment is a writing surface made of animal stuff. It lets people not have to remember certain things. They can write those things on the parchment. Paper also lets people write things on it so they don’t have to remem

Agree acronyms are often used to signal expertise and depth that isn’t really there, or even needed. But I do think non serious acronyms should be still allowed: YAGNI, YAML, SNAFU, BHAG, GNU, etc.
