What is the issue with the iOS keyboard? The support for third party keyboards is garbage but the default keyboard is reliable for me. Search is horrible on iOS and Mac though

I actually run into more issue with deterministic hooks. Ie one hook triggering before another and not letting the agent move forward. I agree that there is a place for deterministic hooks. But there also times when you need something closer to a recommendation that they agent can be reminded of but isn’t a hard block. Think of assigning something to a co worker. You can recommend a checklist of what to do before a commit but they will adjust if the situation requires it.

A public benefit corp shouldn’t be a start up. The primary goal of a start up is to grow as quickly as possible which is rarely benefits the public.

Very silly to call every non start up a lifestyle business. It’s just a business. Start up are the weird thing that almost always an obscene waste of time and money, but sometime creates google.

Isn't a plan file just a single long prompt?

I don’t get the conflict? I want ai to write code I can read and check before pushing. I also want AI to do research and present results in a way I can review and make the final decision.

I don’t want AI to buy something without any way to audit its thought process or show primary source evidence. This is exactly the same as my stance for code.

The typeface could not be more different between the two. One is a sans serif font with many of the factors the author called out. The other calls back to hand illustration and comics IMO.

What is the same is the color scheme and gradient. This likely is more about what was in style at the time for movie posters. You can also justify this is representive of the past part of back to the future.

Yes, I absolutely use AI To find stuff to buy. The results are mediocre but the alternatives are even worse. Google search for any product is SEO garbage. Reddit is somewhat useful for filled with astroturfing and tedious to get actual signal from. AI can summarize the Reddit recommendations and set filters to save time a bit.

I use it as an ide. I am a security engineer but there a bunch of predictable things I need to write code for. Onboarding logs, writing detection rules, SOAR type stuff. It makes a diff and locally tests all the permutations I describe than I review the code.

That is the feature that is complete broken for years on my laptop

Reproducible is necessary but not sufficient for consistently good coffee. If you can’t reproducible what you did, you aren’t able to make changes to improve over time.

This is why I think the Aiden is underrated. It way more consistent than I was when doing pour over but still lets me tweak variables.

It much buggier for me since the enterprise/electron push.

Autofill frequently doesn’t work. Passkeys are unreliable. Creating a new password doesn’t ever get saved.

The psychoactive effects of caffeine are massive after you detox for a few weeks. I had a full cup after not having caffeine for a month and the effect was massive. Near euphoria, constant task switching, some anxiety, etc. I personally felt the effect was much stronger than weed has ever felt for me and comparable to having 5+ drinks of alcohol.

But the effect quickly drops to almost nothing very rapidly. I started having caffeine 3 out of 7 days because having a low caffeine tolerance was too annoying. One coke, tea, chocolate would completely destroy my sleep.

It was my experience as well in Dec 2025
