I remember a parent being "ejected" when I was younger. Technically, they didn't "have to leave", but social pressure is enough for them to recognize they should leave the situation.

* All of the parents already know who the abusive parent is

* The first warning was the coach talking to the "entire group" (at a natural stopping point). The group dialed it back (there will always be some controversial calls), but that one parent didn't get the message.

* Finally, the game stopped suddenly (ball was in play, but in a neutral position) and they we're directly addressed by the ref.

This caught the abusers attention. This was an abnormal event. They were being addressed directly. Whether they realized they were the problem, they certainly recognized the social pressure. They recognized how embarrassing it was (sadly, they probably didn't realize how embarrassing it was for their kid) and decided to take the ref's suggestion to cool down.

For me, the hardest part is actually figuring out what the cable is called in order to find a replacement.

I feel like I feel this increasingly as I age. I used to be able to remember nuanced details of API and computer systems. Now, so many of those memories simply get stored as “FLAG: double check the docs” (because I’ll forget).

I’m a lot better at assessing things from a high level, knowing where to find the information I need, and knowing how to assess it for accuracy - but I can’t remember details anymore. Books become summaries. Trips become a few key snapshots representing the trip.

For me, no. I’ve started tracking session ID on every ticket I work on in order to be able to find them again.

Having it in the commit message is handy (not to mentioned I already have it I. The commit message).

I’ve never been under the impression that privacy relay is anything like a true VPN. I mostly thought it stopped BS that happens on public WiFi and public sniffing. It’s meant to protect you only until you get to a major carriers infrastructure.

I get tripped up on the intensity of its us and the ambiguity it tends to apply them with.

Minor inconvenience != load bearing, yet Claude consistently uses it while missing actual loading bearing things.

Likewise, it tends to jump to terminology that’s technically correct but practically meaningless.

Working in startups has left me with almost the opposite problem. While there are many theoretical problems to solve, most are not valuable to solve until you have a reasonable degree of confidence that customers care about them.

Yea, I don’t have any interest in trying Fable because I’m not interested in the BS that’s going to come with it.

I’m at the point where I need stability and predictability. I want the B- student who shows up everyday rather than the A+ student that’s unreliable.

I’ve generally come to this opinion as well. The only thing I would seriously consider auxiliary power for is the furnace.

Winter storms tend to come in cold stretch’s that can cause major freeze havoc.

In this case, I actually view it differently than just a diplomatic position.

Ideally, these teams have processes and standards that they use to enable other teams.

If someone says “I have this cool new food product”, regulatory teams say “Amazing, here’s how we can help bring that to market.”

This was my high school experience and many people I knew.

* School at 7am

* Sports practice after school. Game days were basically all night events.

* might take an hour or two break

* 2 to 3 hours of homework

For junior and senior year, I worked 16 hours on the weekends as well.

I don’t view that team as saying “No”.

Instead, I view that team as saying “Customers expect safe food. Our job is to help you deliver on that”.

I realize this like a decade ago. Security is basically the only thing I care about in code review.

I’ve come to realize that I don’t actually care what your code looks like. I’m going to need to learn it from scratch every time I use it. It’s going to look weird and foreign to me no matter what. It’s not worth my time nit-picking things that simply do not matter.

Hmm, I guess I haven’t notice the sour flavor. Con-Crete is the brand I use and the flavors are naturally sour.

Monihydrate causes me terrible GI issues and insomnia. I’ve found HCL to me much easier on my body.

ADHD is unlikely to be the root cause as there is unlikely to be any single root cause. Treating ADHD will reduce or eliminate a component of this, but will not address the issues entirely.

This makes sense to me as a correlation. Mental health disorders alone seem like they’d contribute significantly.

ADHD, for example, is correlated with both sleep cycle issues and worse outcomes in life (including higher rates of crime and participation in risky activities).

I think we’re seeing a similar thing pan out with AI. When the barrier for something is too low, people realize that it’s not actually worth the other party’s effort to communicate it to them.

For me, physical communication is quickly becoming a signal that someone actually put effort into things.

This is where you and I are different. I’m neurodivergent so having another low-mental load activity (like cleaning) actually helps my mind from wondering.

I love learning, but I hate reading. Most of my learning now is via audio books while I'm doing something else.

In my view, software development is mostly skimming and pattern recognization. Very little actual, deep reeding in my opinion.

I’ve found no value in AI note takers. I’m not really sure what the value of a note taker is when you can simply transcribe the entire meeting and search within context.

For me, the value of notes is writing down what’s important to me/the participants, including the actual process.

Heat pumps can effectively bring that temp up higher.

The problem is really how much energy is actually available.

Not at all! I ended up identifying that a lost of my symptoms lined up with what /r/HistamineIntolerance and MCAS people describe as symptoms.

Chronically:

* I my energy levels were dropping. * I had terrible brain fog. * My moods were less stable and I was often very irritable. I felt way less resilient to stress. * My joints were constantly hurting * GI symptoms comparable to IBS

Acutely, I would get flare ups between 2 to 48 hours after eating food that were essentially a mix of flu and allergic reaction symptoms (despite not having allergies to these foods). I felt feverish, dizzy, light-headed, joint pain, head aches, diarrhea, nausea. There were a few times that it knocked me out for 24+ hours.

Three's also this "bucket" theory that I resonate with. Symptoms can fluctuate according to how "full" your bucket is. If you have an empty bucket, you might be able to tolerate whatever triggers with limited reaction. If you have filled bucket and overflow it, your symptoms cascade horrendously.

This part actually made self-diagnosis extremely hard because the same food wouldn't consistently trigger issues. This is on top of triggers already feeling a bit random. Pizza, for example, is wildly hit-or-miss by brand. Despite it all being essentially the same ingredients, some of it, I tolerate incredibly well. Some of it, I flare up terribly. Even more confusing, the cheap/low quality places (like Little Ceasars) sit perfectly fine with me, but many "fresh" or "high quality" ones completely crash me.

I solved a similar issue with the help of AI. I doubt I would have ever solved it with the help of a PCP, because of really subtle nuances. It’s been almost a year and my symptoms have basically disappeared.

AI helped me figure out my symptoms were related to histamine issues. This was really hard to track down. I started to tune into chicken and eggs causing me issues, but (1) I wasn’t actually allergic (2) chicken and rice is a standard safe diet (3) chicken is low histamine itself, but can trigger histamine release . It was further complicated because a bunch of foods didn’t consistently trigger reactions.

It was only after I tracked a bunch of foods and tried a bunch of different remedies that Claude was able to track down the pattern. From there, I was able to understand what foods would trigger my issues.

Yes, it’s the friction of setting up the MCP server in the first place. Especially, in environments where that is not straightforward or easy to do. When our users are looking for information, they don’t want to figure out how to setup the MCP.

I don’t think this is about advertising an MCP at all. All of this can be accomplished with plain old HTTP requests. I want to be able to tell users “tell your LLM do go to https://example.com/only-bots”.

There’s absolutely no need for an MCP, because the website will tell the LLM everything it needs to know, including other actions and endpoints available.

This is great for normal "apps". We have a really deep need for a lower touch way for our users to interact with us agentically without setting up MCP. It'd be really great to have some sort of temporary session or out-of-band token storage available.

Here's our use case: During the sales cycle, the buyer and seller need to exchange a bunch of information then analyze it (which is increasingly agentic). The problem with MCP is the initial setup friction is far greater than users login in themselves and grabbing the information they need. MCPs are great for regular, frequent interactions - but create a lot of problems for these quick one-off sessions.

We'd really love a way to do something like this:

* In Claude: "Grab documents from X, Y, Z"

* Claude hits that website, it returns (1) basic usage information (2) a login link that the user can open in their browser

* User auths in their browser (annoying, but mindless)

* That callback returns a unique, short-lived, one-time token that gets exchanged on all future requests to the site.

Now, we can quickly auth users AND maintain a session state as they do things.

I've been working on an MCP for creating semi-deterministic flows in Claude code (essentially skills, but broken down into pieces). In order to track execution and state, I have the LLM pass the MCP a unique "execution id" with every call. This lets me programmatically step it through skills and know exactly where execution progress is.

I've been considering a similar approach for the web. Essentially, do a short-lived, one-time use token exchange for every single call back and forth.

* LLM: "I'd like to interact with your site"

* Site: "Great, here's first token. I will exchange it for a new one on the next call. Do not share with with another site. You can authenticate in your browser with this link: [example.com]"

* Then you can go back and forth.

It'd be rather annoying to auth in the browser every time, but it would enable a low-touch flow.

Long term, it'd be ideal to have some sort of out-of-band credential store/tool available, but this would start proving the concept out. Don't use it for highly sensitive stuff, but it would enable a lot of agentic flows that are currently blocked by high-lift MCP setup.

Only consider compensation you control.

If you don’t control equity, you cannot control the outcome, value, or liquidity of it.

This stat is limited to print-books only. He talks about all sorts of other forms of content, but seems to mysteriously miss audio books.

If this source [0] is true then 65% of audiobooks (in 2022) were non-fiction. Likewise that the audiobook industry has grown by nearly 3x since 2022. So, by my math, it's simply that people prefer to listen to self-help books (which matches my own experience).

I think they're all trying to be a phone replacement, when I need them to be a smart watch replacement. Give me smart glasses and a ring that controls them. Give me simple, watch like actions, notifications, but keep them out of view.
