No direct answer, but I’ve personally noticed that having seasons makes a big difference here. After spending the past year on the East Coast with all of the different seasons, I certainly felt like time was going slower and looking back. I

I canceled my plan today and wrote my reason as: now that I have a job again I don’t have the time or needs for the pro plan. If there was a $5 a month option, I would gladly take it to make use of Opus for my rare side ideas.

This was a great refresher on things I’ve seen writings of but never thought deeply about. A lot of it already “made sense” yet in my day to day I’m still doing the bad versions of the prompts. Do you have preference n a more continual syst

I'm curious how clean is your handwriting? I just did a test run with Claude (pro plan) and it could not understand my iPad + iPencil notes. I expected this since they are close to chicken scratch. ChatGPT told me "I ran OCR on yo

Self hosting Karakeep[0] for this. I think next step is to carve out time on Sunday morning to go through things and put them in lists of read vs unread. [0] https://karakeep.app/

I agree with your comment as an additional way to look at the problem but want to also mention something I heard on a podcast a few months ago. Paraphrasing "If you get good at seeing red flags it doesn't make you good at seeing g

No longer employed but from my past year's experience I became disillusioned with it. I think it maybe made me 20% faster? That's being generous but it could have been higher if I was really really diligent about when to use it. B

For AI news in general I just browse HN. For useful tools I basically wait until something starts appearing in multiple places like HN comments, YouTube tech videos/comments, or on Reddit. This is what led to me hearing about Claude Co

Weird to see my home county pop up on HN. As soon as I saw RadioShack + Maryland I immediately pictured exactly where this was on rt 4. I have a distinct memory of going to this very store to buy a PS2 internet adapter and an ethernet cable

Very interesting read. I always wonder about the criticisms of new solutions that are working as magically as they seem to be in the article. The kids started taking antibiotics, and soon thereafter had obvious improvement that led to them
