Russians had conducted similar experiments, Znamya, in the 1990s:

This may be the reason why OpenAI reportedly delayed its IPO.

They might have had an inkling that this was coming.

I asked it to do code review of some personal projects, that will only run on my system, and it keeps giving me:

This model's safeguards flagged this message. This sometimes happens with safe, normal conversations. Switched to Opus 4.8. Send feedback with /feedback or learn more

Not sure if others are having more success.

This is an opportunity for MS to make a contrarian bet and keep supporting physical media. IMO they will benefit from acquiring gamers who want to keep using physical media.

Though, I think they will follow what Sony is doing.

Several bigger projects, more like startup ideas.

Few tools:

1) a combination of Python scraper and Claude skill to help family members find job by matching jobs to resume, to rank best fits

2) similar to above, but for stock data and financial news to identify movers and why they moved and see if anything is interesting.

3) a couple of attempts to import EPIC medical data from hospital into an offline app. Needs more work, data export from EPIC is crappy and a mix of images, pdfs, text, HTML and .jsonb files. Not useful at the moment

4) an application that downloads stock market data to run 15-20 strategies and back testing to identify stocks that match multiple and then run sentiment analysis on news feeds. Interesting, but semi useful. Needs lot more work.

What’ll happen to the investments when the markets crash?

Don't help him. Let him figure it out by himself, else they (he and hospital) will never learn.

Asafoetida/Hing[0] is widely used in Indian cuisine and it does help, anecdotal evidence of course. How/why it works, is something I can't say.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asafoetida also talks about this

I absolutely love the idea.

Problem, I don’t trust 3rd party services with access to financial data. No offense to the OP.

I wish this was open source and self-hostable. Not suggesting that OP does that since I’m sure he has to pay bills :)

I may look into doing something like this for personal use. I’ve gotten interested in creating desktop apps which store data locally. Have created a few using Claude code. It seems Plaid has some APIs for personal use.

Thanks, haven’t been to a diner in ages but have been meaning to go try out for old time time’s sake.

Used to go to Peppermill in Santa Clara, and Dennys many years ago.

Thanks for suggesting El Caminito, looks good. Our usual Mexican for many years has been La Milpa in Milpitas, haven’t found a good equivalent yet.

> People have been drinking alcohol since time immemorial.

This is probably the reason why there is no unified age for drinking, because everyone came at it at different times from different place and have differing rationale including social, religious, cultural etc.

Social media is new and there is no cultural/religious rule for/against it. So 16 is the starting point someone decided (was it Australia or NZ?), and others are following since it's a good starting point. As time progresses, maybe it'll move up or down and different countries might take a different stand.

I’ve alternated these for fever, especially for kids, especially when it’s high and hard to control. That way you keep below the daily limit of each and don’t overdose on either.

Have gotten into a habit of keeping a note of which med when on the fridge.

So I guess newer iPhones and iPad allow you charge up to 80%, which extends battery life, for idiosyncratic reasons? I’m sure there must have been a reason and demand for that.

I guess I run my iPhone on low battery mode a lot, due to idiosyncratic reasons too. Maybe I do.

Apple battery replacement costs anywhere from $70 (for a ~$400 phone) to $120 (for a ~$1000+ phone). In many global markets you can get a brand new phone for that much.

Will Meta similarly allow its employees to replace themselves in the meetings?

That way AI-AI can chat and save humans’ time.

Where are you getting 60GB from? It shouldn’t be that large.

But yes, would love to save context/cache such that it can be played back/referred to if needed.

/compact is a little black box that I just have to trust that is keeping the important bits.
