the story behind the Oorah scam is actually pretty interesting - it’s good to see it finally get banned. I originally learned about it through [the trueanon podcast]( https://www.patreon.com/posts/episode-477-kold-135145

if you read the thinking context while in plan mode (I had it shown to me, i think mistakenly, by switching modes while Claude was thinking a week or so ago) plan mode is just a pre-prompt saying “you are now in plan mode, don’t propose edi

really good piece, sums up almost exactly where I'm at with AI currently. cognitive debt is a real problem in my domain (embedded software) because AI simply can’t debug the symptom when the reasons for the bug aren’t in code, and a st

Great idea, i love the simple html website :) For determining the number of balls, i had an idea but not sure of how well it’d fit in. Could you feed the listing title, unit count, and description into an LLM with a basic “figure out how ma
