dogscatstrees··on I-have-ADHD: A skill to stop coding agents from burying the answer
I want to thank the author for this. The difference is night and day. It's not just for adhd, it's just a really practical output in general.

To get it to fully work though, it has to be asserted at every turn in the session. That reminder in the skill is negligible in tokens but uses extra nonetheless. I hope the scientists at Anthropic can figure this out, it's not simply an output style flag.

dogscatstrees··on The Real Luxuries In Life
A clean place to live with minimal clutter opens room for time to enjoy other things. Labor Day and Memorial day are milestones for assessing your hoarding. Or you could just rely on the season change as a reminder.
dogscatstrees··on Apple caught off guard by AI demand for Mac Mini and Mac Studio
Were they really caught off guard or is it a long-term play by Apple who knows that consumers may just want machines capable of local models. Build-or-buy (subscribe) options. I for one would get a Mac Studio over a DGX Spark because you get a general Mac machine as a bonus. The big news is Apple being caught off guard by Nvidia buying Hugging Face. That should have been Apple's.

Spent 20 seconds on it.
dogscatstrees··on California's new tire efficiency rules could save drivers $1B a year
Ok, does anyone have a list of these new tires that I can source from Costco?
dogscatstrees··on Cursor launches Origin, GitHub alternative
Yup, same sentiment here. Thank you
dogscatstrees··on The coolest use for the Vision Pro
You’re missing the difference between a feature and an application of that feature.
dogscatstrees··on Show HN: Bento - An entire PowerPoint in one HTML file (edit+view+data+collab)
When attaching the offline artifact as an email attachment, say in MS Outlook, will Outlook strip or block the attachment because it sees an HTML file with JS? Anyone encounter email attachment issues?

This is so cool. And it's as simple as telling Claude about the skill: https://bento.page/

Goodbye Salesforce Tableau
dogscatstrees··on GPT‑Live
I do not fully understand the complexity behind achieving full-duplex but I hope this sets the bar for Anthropic to follow. Turn-based simplex is yesterday.
dogscatstrees··on Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds (1852)
Not sure why you're downvoted. Chamath Palihapitiya was a tome of SPAC heyday.
dogscatstrees··on An entire Herculaneum scroll has been read for the first time
What is your origin story? How did you end up doing this and how can I do the same?
dogscatstrees··on Local Git remotes
Nice. Claude likes it, especially when the AI detects PII and knows by policy to halt the commit to cloud but not local.

> A related trick worth knowing — one git push can fan out to two destinations:

git remote set-url --add --push origin ~/bares/<repo>.git # add a 2nd push URL # now `git push origin` writes to GitHub AND the local bare repo

dogscatstrees··on SQL patterns I use to catch transaction fraud
The main problem with these SQL calculations is that they are deterministic shortcuts for a probabilistic problem. Fraud is not usually a “true because rule X matched.” It is more like "what is the probability this is fraudulent"? SQL patterns are useful, but they are blunt instruments. I really don't think banks use deterministic heuristics but more data science stuff.

I think it's also worth mentioning Piper, Critique, and the infamous monorepo.

Fans of Nassim Taleb will know his disdain for Foucault.
dogscatstrees··on Amazon employees are "tokenmaxxing" due to pressure to use AI tools
Another stupid meme-latching name. Don't normalize these *maxxing nonsense words and just use plain language. Let's see, maybe just say they were optimizing for token count?

Beautiful methods. Very nice.

dogscatstrees··on Kimi K2.6: Advancing open-source coding
This kimi website, it looks like a stylesheet from the 90's. They could learn a thing or two about typeface design. Steve Jobs would be incensed at this.

I'm drawn by the style and aesthetics of the charts in combination with the fonts used in them.
dogscatstrees··on The AI revolution in math has arrived
It was just yesterday that this top post [] was decrying the "peril of laziness lost", that LLMs inherently lack the virtue of laziness.

So which one are they?

dogscatstrees··on The AI revolution in math has arrived
> As they did so, they also learned how to improve the prompts they gave AlphaEvolve. One key takeaway: The model seemed to benefit from encouragement. It worked better “when we were prompting with some positive reinforcement to the LLM,” Gómez-Serrano said. “Like saying ‘You can do this’ — this seemed to help. This is interesting. We don’t know why.”

Four top logical people in the world are acknowledging this. It is mind-blowing and we don't know why.
