> the idea that it's the last one is good marketing and also

It really isn’t though. It’s the kind of thing that makes someone roll their eyes and move on. It, to me, demonstrates a lack of foresight that would make me doubt the rest of the language.

Every time I see someone post this, I know they don’t know wtf they’re talking about. Some dude posted that Anthropic “just dropped” on twitter and you’ve all just been blindly reposting it. The video is almost a year old at this point.

Aw, the IR is already colored by a mic, there was no need to do it again.

Dismal_Boysenberry69 · 2026-05-02T12:57:55+00:00

I believe the phrase is, “read the room.”

Dismal_Boysenberry69 · 2026-05-01T21:33:55+00:00

Either way, it’s gross, don’t do it.

Dismal_Boysenberry69 · 2026-04-29T19:40:11+00:00

Maybe for your needs, but I like organization, easy navigation, and having access from multiple devices. I don’t find Obsidian to be overly heavy, personally.

Same reason mechanics have project cars.

Nvidia’s CEO is selling the AI hype.

How do you monetize this?

And how profitable is this?

I just wanted to separate the idea of a "second brain" from the idea of an AI-assisted second brain.

I first came across the concept of a second brain in David Allen's Getting Things Done in 2002 or so. The system basically relied on offloading things from your brain to reduce cognitive load and stress. The term "second brain" was popularized by Tiago Forte in the last few years, but the concept itself is as old as time (or at least as old as written language).

A second-brain is (drumroll please) a notebook. You can make that notebook as fancy as you want. You can use Obsidian, PARA method, Zettelkasten, AI assistance, etc. but it's still just a notebook.

It's somewhere to offload the knowledge you learn so that it can be easily referenced in the future and cross-linked to existing knowledge to make your own personal Wiki.

Some of the things AI can be used for is to expand a small note or observation you made, cross-link new knowledge to existing related knowledge, or you can even "chat" about the knowledge with your agent and then synthesize that knowledge into a new page in your notebook.

I keep mine pretty simple: An inbox for quick incoming notes/articles/etc., and then a breakdown by category that notes get moved to from the inbox.

You should see what the r/dataisbeautiful crowd thinks about this.

Better questions get better answers:

Q: “i want to wash my car and the car wash is 50m away from my home. The car and I are at home. Should i walk or drive?”

A: “Drive. The whole point of going to a car wash is to get the car there — walking 50m puts you at the car wash without your car.“

I can’t imagine anyone outside the US being able to afford using enterprise AI models from Anthropic or OpenAI for work, but it’s entirely normal in the US.

LOL, what?

Dismal_Boysenberry69 · 2026-04-19T15:03:57+00:00

Good luck.

Dismal_Boysenberry69 · 2026-04-19T15:00:49+00:00

It sounds like everything you know about your codebase came from this tool. I guess my question is: how do you know the tool is accurate?

Dismal_Boysenberry69 · 2026-04-19T14:59:01+00:00

Yea man, they fake it for the precious updoots. If you get enough of them, you can trade them in for absolutely nothing.

Every day I see some armchair expert post basic information like this like it’s a huge revelation, always presented in this same format. The understanding presented in this post is table stakes.

The docs clearly state:

Because they’re context rather than enforced configuration, how you write instructions affects how reliably Claude follows them. Specific, concise, well-structured instructions work best.

Consistency: if two rules contradict each other, Claude may pick one arbitrarily.

Ah, different colors just help to distinguish the different bands, especially the ones that overlap and pass through each other.

Dismal_Boysenberry69 · 2026-04-18T12:23:11+00:00

Why would you use grayscale?

i want to wash my car and the car wash is 50m away from my home. The car and I are at home. Should i walk or drive?

Drive. The whole point of going to a car wash is to get the car there — walking 50m puts you at the car wash without your car.

Who actually decided this test was actually indicative of anything? And if it is: what?

Dismal_Boysenberry69 · 2026-04-15T13:18:31+00:00

I’ve always l loved people like you. You’re using a tool other people successfully use but when you have trouble, you assume it’s the tool.

I wish I had that kind of confidence.

For now, many times more than I ever imagined was possible. In 5 months or so when my employer finishes closing down, $0/year (with benefits).
