An unknown number of them were also allegedly burned for heat as they were mistaken for wood logs during early excavations

I would hope that lazy polarization found some resistance on this particular forum

Very cool! I was just today thinking I should have an AI help me design a new piece of furniture I've been thinking about, and send it off to a CNC shop.

The MCP server seems to have a bug. The tool list flashes for a second in Claude Desktop, but then immediately states "This connector has no tools available." and the error "Couldn’t reload tools from the server." when I try to refresh it.

In the last few months I have been building an AI assistant that is quite possibly saving my life.

It's an iOS app that uses LLMs to estimate and track nutrients and calories in all the food I eat. It is plugged in to Apple Health so it sees all my activity, sleep, body metrics, etc. I have set some general health goals in the app and it uses this to rate (poor, neutral, good) and advise me on the food I log. A calendar view shows how each day has gone in a traffic light coloring system. I can also log contextual notes to help it make sense of my day, and it has a memory system so each session has continuity.

The assistant can save extracted or inferred nutritional data in a library, like when I give it photos of nutritional labels for foods I eat frequently or I log the same thing repeatedly, for easy reuse later. Also useful for home made meals and recipes.

I've connected it to my workout tracker app Hevy so it can keep tabs on my exercise and also adjust my programs based on me chatting with it in the app about how a workout went. This is really useful for swapping out exercises I struggle with, for example, or to keep a well-balanced program over time.

Recently I added an Apple Watch companion app with a watch face complication so I can keep an easy eye on things like up-to-date calorie deficit.

All built in Swift with Opus on the $20 plan. I realize I can probably use existing AI nutrition tracking apps, and probably also connect Claude to Apple Health, but the joy of building and getting this to be completely tailored to me has been so fun and extremely useful. I've shared it with a few friends, but since I am paying for all the API tokens currently I have not yet tried to get more users onboarded.

Wow, I’ve had it for 15 years and until now I’ve never thought it may be connected to also being «treated» for glue ear as a kid. Do you have more info on this and how you came to that conclusion?

A particularly pronounced version of this can often be seen by letting 2 agents review and code in a loop. One agent will find some problems with the code, the other agent will address the review by adding more code.

A good human developer might see that the better way to address the review is to backtrack and pick a different approach. The ai agents seem more prone to getting stuck down bad branches of the decision tree.

Code reviews should be done by someone other than the author though, so the only thing that changes with ai generated code in that respect is the amount of it

Thanks, I did not know this. My Tailscale was unaffected by the outage.
