    It's getting seriously annoying. This is obviously in an attempt to push people to use the cheaper models but I find them appallingly stupid. There was a worrying comment by Tibo r…

    I use and have used Windows and macOS for decades. I think Windows is better, but both are doing their best to drive users to Linux. Their relentless focus on extracting subscripti…

    Thanks! I'll take another look and see if I can live with the limitations. One recommendation I got from this submission is Anytype, so I'm also scoping that now. I feel like I've …

    Could you recommend some options? I'm ready to go all-in on AI notes but the application options seem really limited. I've been using OneNote for a long time but integration option…

    Your comment resonates, but one issue with Apple Notes is that functionality is very limited on Windows and Linux. Apple doesn't expose any APIs for Notes so it cannot be integrate…

    I think this idealism needs to be tempered with a big dose of reality. Old people who need care aren't always able to book in time to be bathed. They soil themselves, trip and fall…

    This is where the harness shines. It's why products like Cursor have been growing like crazy. If you drop an extremely intelligent person into a problem they've never seen before, …

    Don't take life advice from anyone. Evaluate who is successful (according to your definition of success), what they do with their time, how they think and act and speak, and do mor…

    I feel like a conspiracy theorist but it feels like every new model release from both Anthropic and OpenAI has 1-2 weeks of fantastic performance then a gradual (and sometimes not …

    I believe they can. I believe they can even request your social media credentials, despite that being against the ToS for those sites. It's not against the law to refuse, but they …

    I agree. I tried hard to use Sol to its full potential but it makes sloppy mistakes. I suspect a part of this is the newly reduced context limit. Performance gets worse the more me…

    A well structured architecture, repo, and requirements document with concrete small deliverables can be competently delivered with cheap Chinese models. We rely on frontier models …

    I've been searching for the perfect notes app my whole life, and have been contemplating just building it myself now. I'd love if you could link me to your github and share it.

    I very clearly provided the exact percentage popularity he had at the height of his democratic rise. Whether you'd like to accurately call that less than a third, or "wildly popula…

    I don't mind logging in, but when they remove old.reddit altogether, I'm just going to stop using Reddit. The new interface is the slimiest culmination of all the worst dark patter…
