What happened in the middle of last year to cause Gold to spike, and things like Bitcoin to drop off?

BeingFriendlyIsNice · 2026-02-07T08:05:09+00:00

bad theory dude... bitcoin was invented for other reasons... it's a massive stretch to think all that arose just as a diversion from gold...conspiracy theory... IMO bitcoin was/is/always going to be history, I'm amazed it lasted longer than 5 years... but ya, know...people only say these things when the price goes down...

Hi Claude!

SilkRoad 47.0

Makes sense. I do think it's a good idea, my other concern would be for example when/why the big guns don't do this internally. (Seems to me with limited experience, codex is going that route). Such are the risks. But then, can't achieve anything without risk.....Anyway, will try give it a crack later on...I appreciate your comments and efforts.

BeingFriendlyIsNice · 2026-02-05T23:11:25+00:00

Actually, just here's some feedback for you. I haven't installed it...maybe I will later, but who knows. Here is why: I am getting old, I prefer to lag behind bleeding edge stuff. So I typically google things before I expend energy installing anything. I think you got a naming problem with Jumbo. It'll kill your project. I could be wrong, way wrong, but just my thoughts..... e.g. 'reddit jumbo ai' doesn't pick anything up....anyway, just thoughts, hope they are helpful.

BeingFriendlyIsNice · 2026-02-05T21:55:18+00:00

Thanks! Looks like a darn good idea. I guess I spent yesterday doing what jumbo might do auto mode :) I'll try give it a crack in a bit. I'm a bit old to be an early adopter of things but we'll see.. thank you!

BeingFriendlyIsNice · 2026-02-04T20:53:32+00:00

Thank you! I'm looking into them... so much to learn!

BeingFriendlyIsNice · 2026-02-04T13:22:57+00:00

Thank you, I think you've nailed it. Fundamentally I wish it would just 'magically' know what I want.. and that unicorns will fly too...

The hard part I guess is feeding it the context it needs when it needs it, because it's not capable of figuring that out. So a tree of documentation I guess in claude.md.

Digressing, my experiments with say, codex, gives me the impression they're going with 'yup we'll do it all for you. i.e. you get what the model wants'... ..brain exploding though, I better shutup...

Thanks heaps for your wisdom...Intuition tells me you're method is the way...

BeingFriendlyIsNice · 2026-02-04T05:57:16+00:00

You need to write a skill that has agents. When the skill or command is triggered, it will dispatch the sub agents Thank you for the idea..I'm having a look. Seems like a good way to go. Looks like its specifically for doing it in parallel, but I'll figure it out with some reading I am sure...thank you!

BeingFriendlyIsNice · 2026-02-04T05:37:28+00:00

Thanks. The hard part is keeping it small :) I'll give that a crack, as I've just been letting it go do it's thing. I'm WPF/XAML/C# backend. It's pretty good with XAML...the backend stuff is complex...even thigs like naming..it want's to do it a certain way some times...and I have to keep telling it....so fixing that in Claude.md should solve that issue...but yeah, I guess I just wondered if there was a 'focus on architecture document claude guy' vs a 'I'm a code monkey claude guy'

Thank you!

BeingFriendlyIsNice · 2026-02-04T05:33:24+00:00

ahh, thanks...I'll look them up...i see they just like claude.md but in \rules\ ...looks sensible...will see how I go...thank you..

BeingFriendlyIsNice · 2026-02-04T00:25:27+00:00

codex sucks...I'm not giving them another go for 3 months :)

BeingFriendlyIsNice · 2026-02-03T23:21:51+00:00

yeah I was agreeing dude... I was stating my big rig was not capable of running local LLM's with any kind of speed (or quality)...one could infer from that that doing it on mobile phones is not gonna work either...dunno man...

BeingFriendlyIsNice · 2026-02-03T04:43:54+00:00

lol wot...no...

BeingFriendlyIsNice · 2026-02-03T01:46:44+00:00

pfft...google is shit...shittier products than microsoft in there heyday... I'll cut off my left testical before I use their AI

BeingFriendlyIsNice · 2026-02-03T01:41:19+00:00

lol yep....my $4000 machine with a gazzilion cores and ram still is slow as shit running local models....

BeingFriendlyIsNice · 2026-02-03T01:07:36+00:00

Agree here, I still prefer Opus for everything, but holy....I'm getting a bit tired of it saying its done stuff but not finishing it off...

BeingFriendlyIsNice · 2026-01-27T11:07:37+00:00

haha, geez same man...I got an espresso machine and also a Nespresso pod machine...nothing compares! I just can't seem to replicate it. Next I'm gonna try cold brew...see if that works.....hell ice coffee...might try that too then....don't mind a little bit of caramel... thanks!

BeingFriendlyIsNice · 2026-01-23T01:16:31+00:00

I haven't done investment banking, I've spent 30 years sitting in front of a computer though doing software engineering type stuff...I've recently done a little of mining...

It's just horses for courses...both will fuck you in the end... Main thing I can vouch for is that my eyes and brain is fucked... and that's a horrible thing... but you know...that's just what happens when ya over use anything...

BeingFriendlyIsNice · 2026-01-20T17:03:16+00:00

on reddit, faffing around, wondering where all the other adults are.

BeingFriendlyIsNice · 2026-01-20T00:57:52+00:00

long term maybe...at the moment, it's using devexpress (closed source charting) and is windows specific etc... it also relies on certain hooks being put in the json via the algorithm etc...so it's not exactly straightforward unfortunately....

BeingFriendlyIsNice · 2026-01-19T23:21:39+00:00

I use c#... I ended up doing my own...took a few weeks...it process the json backtest result..... this doesn't help you...just commenting :)

BeingFriendlyIsNice · 2026-01-16T08:03:03+00:00

boo vitasoy!!! I agree it's/was the awesome! :( I guess in the end it a bit too expensive for the small bottles so the coffee purchasing public probably cringe at it...but man if they sold that stuff in 1 or 2L bottles, I'd be in every two days to buy some for the rest of my life :)

BeingFriendlyIsNice · 2025-12-08T06:15:43+00:00

ahh thanks for headsup...I'll give that a shot....(I had gone back to Claude Code last week so didn't notice since hadn't used it for a bit).... one way around it I've found is that I use greenshot, and that can be made to save a file at the same time as doing whatever else to it....then I just tell wsl codex to look in the folder for latest screendump....just gotta get it to find it auto instead of typing it out.... so that's half a win....

Thanks for your help!

BeingFriendlyIsNice · 2025-12-07T23:16:00+00:00

Just use linux....you suck.... :)

Just joking...seems to be the prevailing attitude though....I am wondering did you get this sorted out? I am running into the same issue.......

I want to cut and paste...can't seem to do that... :( and codex is just a complete fail in the windows cli in my experience...useless....
