Thank you for the feedback, I will increase the font weight. I'd say not great for societal well-being. I'd say it's preying on the lonely. Even with a thinly personified system prompt, some models will suddenly start calling

Hey folks! Long-time lurker here. I posted my first piece of content on what I've learned building in the conversational AI space. I'd love your thoughts on what I got wrong, if/how it was useful, general comments, etc. Thank

Free yourself from the worry of shopping cart dings today! My solution was buying a hail damage car.

The small and quasi-loophole to getting a good used car deal is buying a hail damage car. I genuinely don't understand why cars were made to have shiny paint. Cars drive on dirty roads with insects and pebbles abound. Paint doesn'

i use ctrl + <key> quite often but didn't know about ctrl + backspace! Also, I think mac's cmd + shift + left arrow or right arrow work so well.

Something like prison probably is the most productive environment one could be in. It almost completely eliminates the need for self discipline because it's all enforced.

That's pretty good, considering they give you 110 tries

Have people noticed the ai-assisted code "creep"? Cursor now by default applies its changes before you've even hit accept, and the tab autocomplete is getting out of control. Sometimes I'll have my cursor resting on some

I'd love to know at what rate the long essay questions are read. Maybe we get to a point where applicants have AI write them and then no one reads them!

Let's assume refresh rate and color quality can get "good enough" to where it can work for daily work stuff, excluding gaming or graphic design. Then I see a strong argument for eink. I think we're all damaging our eyes

Untrap is amazing. On top of that, things like removing all apps from my home screen and turning of almost all notifications has improved my focus and my life a lot.

I recently did a side project that at first I thought would be fun, pretty complex (for me, at least), and a good learning experience. I decided to see how far AI would get me. It did the whole project. It was so un-fun and unsatisfying. My

idk why people here are laser focusing on "wow 2 weeks", I totally understand lightly thinking about an idea, motivations, feasibility, implementation, for a week or two

I think it's best if we all keep the hours from ~10pm to the morning sacred. Even if we are all up coding, the _reason_ I'm up coding at that hour is because no one is pinging me

Glad to find a musician here with this problem, as I suspect there are many. The moment I wake up, a song starts playing. When I practice violin, it gets pretty bad.

They're not a product? Isn't Cursor on the leaderboard for fastest to $100m ARR? What about just plain usage or dependency. College kids are using chrome extensions that direct their searches to chatgpt by default. I think your co
