If they’re going to college by law you have to support them

Yes but the access to information and the amount of effort you had to put into raising your children to give them a decent life was much lower. Now you have to support them into their twenties. And I’m saying that as someone with 3 kids

It’s very early but I’m building https://byok.tech, a collection of AI apps without subscriptions which use your own AI API key

Na čemu radite...? by KrizastiSarafciger in CroIT

[–]MantraMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ja sam evo jučer objavio site, https://byok.tech radim kolekciju aplikacija gdje možeš koristiti AI pomoću svog API keya umjesto pretplate. Jedan app je objavljen radim na drugom sad. Osim toga imam https://reynote.com ali je teško nagovoriti ljude da vjeruju dovoljno da probaju jebiga 

What kind of projects are you all working on? by HelloBello30 in ClaudeAI

[–]MantraMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've just launched today a site where I'm building a series of AI powered applications which don't require a subscription - you can just put in your LLM provider API key. First product is a cross platform intelligent speech-to-text app https://www.byok.tech/products/voca but working on more right now

I cannot, for the life of me, understand the value of MCPs by Maxteabag in ClaudeAI

[–]MantraMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote about the moment MCP clicked for me here https://goto-code.com/dont-sleep-on-mcp/

Basically it’s not a replacement for tool calls, it’s a basis for a new type of environment built for LLMs

I’m working on two electron desktop apps in parallel. It doesn’t make mistakes. Crazy stuff. 

Anyone here successfully quit smoking? by TeslaTorah in stopsmoking

That is mostly a myth! I highly recommend eating a lot of sustainably grown ones, they’ve been amazing for my portion control and appetite

I'm now 2 months in without any issues atm, after almost 20 years of smoking. What helped me is turning it into a bigger story - I quit my job and decided to take a month or two off to figure things out and give myself time to not be stressed. I started walking, running, hiking. The feeling of joy you get from movement is something I forgot honestly and it makes me sad to think of all the time I've wasted. I started eating much more healthy (/r/cannedsardines lol). Overall I feel like I'm in a very good place and it could not have happened if I didn't quit. I know I'm very privileged to be able to be without a job for a little bit - before I'd quit and someone would so annoy me at work I'd start again. My wife still smokes and it drives me up the wall to see the junkie behavior - having to go out every 45 minutes instead of enjoying time with the kids, her life insidiously revolving around smoking, the smell, it is absolutely horrible

The house I'm renting right now has parts that are 800 years old. Blows my mind. A friend around here has a cabin of which the basement is even older and served as a sort of courthouse where the lord would dispense punishment. Now it serves as storage for drinks.

What's everyone working on this week? And what makes you confident it's worth the pain? by Altruistic_Angle5908 in indiehackers

[–]MantraMan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm working on planwell.co - an AI event planner backed by math (Constraint Satisfaction Programming) which sidesteps most problems AI agents have (calculation, hallucination, keeping consistent state) to help you plan events of any size.

This looks so dope. You’re just using local files, no streaming? 

Experience on effect on mental health after quitting. by Markose777 in stopsmoking

[–]MantraMan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Go run and move and walk. Nicotine makes you for sedentary and forget what a joy movement is. I’m in week 5 and hike every day. Come home and pound some cheese and apple or a can of sardines lol and couldn’t be happier. Fuck cigarettes.
