I’ve never really understood the whole lifestyle thing. Maybe it is just simply habit and ritual for some people, but doesn’t seem to be the case for most.

I’ve lost weight many times, maintained the weight loss for long periods of time, but I’m just constantly hungry throughout. It never gets any easier. I’m physically just very hungry - my belly is constantly rumbling to the point that people comment on it, and I get the weird sizzling noise in the back of my neck. I’ll maintain this - for years sometimes - but eventually, like almost everyone who loses weight, something inevitably happens and I fall off the wagon.

I’m on the drugs now and all the grumbling and side effects of being hungry have gone away. Even the ones like being tired, getting sick all the time and having thinning wiry grey hair, which would happen in the past whenever I cut back food.

Is there any relationship between this and AG-UI or A2UI?

To add my anecdote, while the Codex subscription appears to get you much fewer tokens as measured by cost, I find the amount of actual useful work that can be done by both subs to be about equal. Codex seems much less prone to burning millions of tokens just reading the codebase and doing nothing useful. That also makes it much quicker. Plus it actually does what I tell it with few mistakes first time, so less rework needed.

The Claude TUI is just so much better though so I'm hoping Opus 5.5 is actually good and not just benchmaxxed.

SAML sucks, but it still has a bunch of features for its specific narrow enterprise SSO use-case that OIDC lacks - most notably IdP-initiated flow. OIDC is a constellation of specs with inconsistent support across products, whereas the commonly-implemented subset of SAML is more-or-less stable in its mediocrity.

OIDC will eventually displace SAML, but if you're selling to enterprises you should really support both. Both will pale compared to the amount of time you spend dealing with SCIM inconsistencies between IdPs anyway.

I was prescribed Xanax for a bit and it gave me the absolute worst sleep paralysis imaginable, with nested false awakenings.

I thought this was universal. It's pretty easy to trigger for me, even quite abstract geometric shapes that look a bit like something falling from a height can trigger it.

If places cease to be interesting, people will stop visiting them.

That means either AI will become interesting, or people will figure out how to stop slop ruining their places.

Either of those options might bring their own problems, but the sloppification of the internet is not a stable equilibrium.

The logical answer is to send what you would have put into AI.

However, terse lists of bullets without any padding or phatic expressions are considered rude. Perhaps previously a long message indicated you'd put time and thought into it.

Maybe AI will invert the social signalling, and make conciseness polite. As it should be.

I like attribution in principle, but I'd rather it linked to an open format stored in/with the repository rather than their website.

It shouldn't be an excuse for not making people's lives better long term, but you also have to treat people where they are in life.

In some ways, certain problems seem to emerge from modern lives being too comfortable for the environment our brains are adapted for, but it's not as if unhappiness is a new thing, we just have better tools to treat it now. My life is about as good as any life can reasonably be expected to be economically, and I have as much social interaction as I want... but I'm still anxious (without sertraline).

It really seems like humans have been fairly unhappy throughout history, are fairly unhappy now in the best societies, and are fairly unhappy now in the worst societies too. We're a pretty unhappy species prone to quite a lot of mental health problems. Only difference being that in the past, eventually hunger would override your unhappiness and you'd have to get up and do something about it, which would take your mind off worrying about dying from that worsening foot infection and mourning over the twelve kids you've had die in their childhood.

I would also suggest that being overly negative around psychiatric meds itself can be harmful. I know many people who lived deeply unhappy lives and avoided taking them for years over fears of side effects and things they'd read about, only for them to eventually give in and wonder why they hadn't done it years ago. They do have side effects, but man, as a N=1, all I can say is sertraline improved every single aspect of my life. It's indescribable how much I owe to that compound.

I could function. I would be a lot more anxious. I'd probably function better in certain scenarios, just ones that I'm unlikely to encounter.

About 80% of people are prescribed psychiatric medications at some point in their life. Add in how many people use non-prescribed ones (smoking, alcohol, illicit drugs) for psychological support and you're going to have a hard time finding a control.

Irrespective of how it all turns out, I'm personally incredibly excited to be alive during it. In many ways, it is the ultimate milestone.

But then it's better to just not have a gateway switch models at all.

Just have the harness able to choose which model its sub-agents use, then tell it how to split up tasks and which models to use when doing so.

Clothes too. If you're cold, why not just move to a tropical country where you can be naked, as nature intended?
