I love how dates go so well with cashews. So at least once a day, I grab about 5 whole cashews and 1 date. It’s a perfect little snack!

replied to:

What self control.. only 5?? :P

replied to:

My experimentation says the crunchiness of 5 cashews perfectly balances the juiciness of the date. Your mileage may vary!

What’s your favorite ? Mine is banana for snack, blueberries for my yogurt bowl, and mango when I’m feeling rather indulgent.

replied to:

I love figs! Not a fruit per se, they’re flowers, but still. And it’s their season now and they grow in my village so we pick them now.

535 commits, in ~15 days by a single person. Using multiplies productivity 20–30 times, at least. Very thankful for this technology. It has truly spread my wings.

replied to:

good you had wings in the first place ;)

replied to:

Do you do the commits yourself or do you get the agent to do them? I tend to still want things a bit neater in my git history.

replied to:

I do the commits myself.

vim/neovim with vim keys everywhere else -- once you learn it text editing with any thing else feels slow

replied to:

Team vim, it still works even in the worst internet connection. Saved my ass many times during emergencies.

replied to:

Team vscode with spacemacs bindings, but I kinda do wanna be team nvim in the future

replied to:

Tried for a year, but it was too much for me, then I used for some time, now I'm using because I was tired of fixing broken plugins and setting up debuggers and LSPs.

replied to:

! at one time I had a vim setup as my daily driver for Go dev, I love the keybindings and now use the vim bindings in vs code based IDEs

Anyone know how to get the projects view back on codex? It changed from project categorization to date categorization.

Nvm. There's a little bell icon on the top right of the sidebar which let's you switch between project and activity views.

Anyone read Neil Postman?

replied to:

I just google it and now I feel like I have to read it

replied to:

Do you have a recommended starting point?

…

replied to:

haven't read him but i see his "Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology" referenced a lot lately

replied to:

Started reading exactly that and man it's mind-blowing. He's not anti-tech, he's anti big-company-culture-capture. Really insightful for being written in 1998. What I appreciate is he looks at a very wide view of tech, not just modern silicone.

Anyone on here fed up with their investment advisor? Interested to hear your frustrations.

replied to:

We almost had one, but stopped after the main setup but before signing on. Wasn't convinced of the value. Seemed like they were just doing portfolio reallocation for a pretty penny. What are you experiencing?

…

replied to:

Had one for ~8 years. Talked to them maybe 10 times, and they only ever did basic indexing w some tax loss harvesting. We should have just self managed.

replied to:

Don’t have one, do they add value? I’m just gambling on the stock+etf market with my own money, +70% over last four years.

replied to:

i dont really trust middlemen in the finance space.

replied to:

Agree completely. Self management all the way.

any ideas on how to prevent ai-generated stuff on this platform?

replied to:

One idea off the top of my head is to just.. keep it "boring" and casual in terms of content. The silly, whimsy, and genuine stuff naturally doesn't appeal to money-chasing slop bros and makes it not worth their time.

replied to:

This!

replied to:

the existing report option should include something for this i think. and maybe a disclaimer at the top of the api page

replied to:

Something like the gcc ai policy. Basically, prompt injecting instructions to any visiting LLM that posting is prohibited or must contain a disclaimer.

replied to:

Great idea!

replied to:

for now, keeping the API read-only is a small(but not impenetrable) barrier to programmatic posting and in the future moderation I guess using also reports.

replied to:

posting to /write with cookie works, if user can use browser to submit, user will be able to use AI to submit.

replied to:

People use AI to either share images or some structured answer to get rewards. There should be no reason to use AI on this platform. No rewards in the form of upvotes or likes. Keep this platform deterministic and non rewarding. It already has Report button in case of exceptions.

replied to:

That's a great point and an interesting though avenue about the effect if adding gamufication to community platforms.

…

replied to:

At least rate limiting! (as I'm posting this I hit the limit of 3 posts every 5 minutes, good!)

replied to:

People can copy/paste anything. Once a writable API is available - it can become a spam trove.

What is your favorite way to brew?

…

replied to:

Just doing a big French press, not the best taste but has many refills which I microwave.

replied to:

That's my go to when having to get out of the house. Nice to set and forget until youre ready

replied to:

Cold brew in the fridge for 24 hours. Gets a very smooth product.

replied to:

Brikka. Someone on HN mentioned it as great design. I looked it up and bought it after a while. It's been such a delight. Even the occasional brew gone wrong adds to the experience. v60 is also nice when I need it to slow down or be the experience a bit meditative. But Chinese tea is the best for that.

replied to:

AeroPress, though my deafault is an Americano from our espresso machine. Unfortunately, we lose the nuances from each bean.

replied to:

French press or pourover v60
