Perfectly captures it. Opus writes like it's an insecure person trying to impress a first date. Big words and strange structural rhetorical flourishes for no purpose. Like dude I'm just trying to summarize a few emails and meeting

I was only working on this occasionally, but I built an extension to block sites in a more creative way. Basically I'm finding myself in a bind where: - I spend too much time doomscrolling (X, reddit, HN etc) - AI is making me lose tou

I write a blog and have always avoided AI images for exactly the reasons cited here. AI images feel like a more cynical version of stock imagery, for some reason. I think it's actually too bad because in a lot of cases AI images would

I'm offloading tons of my thinking to AI, and I don't like what it's doing to me. I think that I'm having trouble creating things on my own due to it, and tbh it's making me increasingly uncomfortable. I'm not

This is one of the craziest articles I've ever read. I feel like this should be a major ongoing news story...

I'll make sure to wear my Juggalo makeup the next time I visit China to avoid their face scanning technology. That'll surely help me blend into the background.

I don't know if I'm a crazy weirdo here but I find that talking to LLMs / using them for certain tasks that I find stressful improves my mental health.

Typically not much, but in practice if you truly have a unique technical moat it's easy enough that I'd get a provisional patent in place just in case. I would start accumulating patents at a gradual pace at around $100m ARR in pr

Seriously. Both because of the talent but also because wtf Mikey don't you want to draw a knight in shining armor or a cow or something.

I've had a similar positive experience and I'm really surprised at the cynicism here. You have a system that is good at reading tons of literature and synthesizing it, which then applies basic logic. What exactly do the cynics thi

Temperature and weather can have a huge impact on power prices. Small examples: * 90 degree day => more air conditioning usage => power goes up * 70 degree sunny day => that's also July 4th (holiday, not a work day when factor

Only slightly related, but I've found that traditionally brewed coffee and espresso give me a ton of anxiety. Tea, energy drinks, and even cold brew don't give me nearly the same level of anxiety. Any hypotheses on what might be g

I love how this guy founds + takes public + sells a multibillion company and then just goes right back to hacking. Legend.

I'm a Giants fan. Although I didn't think it was possible, I somehow miss him even more.

Thank you for adding some sanity to this discussion – this is ultimately a matter of economics, and the R&D effort to add and maintain these features is not trivial.

So many great memories growing up playing this game decades ago, but you can still pick it up and have a blast. Counterstrike is a great example of a simplistic concept executed flawlessly, in a way that a lot of modern games choose not to

I would still consider the glaucoma check. I don't think that you can even necessarily get a Flammer syndrome diagnosis, it's not a disease afaik, just a pattern. Glaucoma is the condition that matters and if you don't run th

A quick note for people responding, you might have a mild form of vascular dysregulation or flammer's syndrome. It can manifest as migraines and a decreased sensation of thirst, as well as other symptoms like cold extremities. Afaik it

It's wild that they managed to retain this knowledge without a Confluence by Atlassian subscription (tm).

A lot of startups like Profound are going after the "AEO" (basically SEO but of AI engine) space and absolutely blowing up. Marketers are freaking out. It's crazy to see the search juggernaut finally getting threatened.

Perhaps me just stupid and do prompts bad, but I can't make Lovable come up with anything really differentiated as a design. I'm curious if folks have tips on how to use it well as I really love the idea behind it.

Thank you for writing this. I am an employer and see versions of the advice / similar techniques to patio11's post put into practice by candidates (ie used against us) with some regularity. It doesn't always work, and we try

This is just a random anecdote but ChatGPT (when given many, many details with 100% honesty) has essentially matched exactly what doctors told me in every case where I've tested it. This was across several non-serious situations (what&

It's frightening how well you called this, if you scroll down the page literally exactly the dynamic that you mentioned is playing out in real time. I use Cursor and I like it a lot.

I'm sure that a lot of the l33t h4x0rs here think that Supabase sucks and is only for amateurs but I'll say that as a former engineer who's getting back into building fun side projects again, Supabase has been incredible and

"If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." This line is especially silly when making B2B products, especially very expensive enterprise ones. It's often used to justify building "great
