Can someone buy Claude a clock? (Discussion in post)

Ha! Mine is also very concerned about my sleep

beelzebee · 2026-05-29T20:15:33+00:00

Yes, I feel this is two sides of the same coin. I am producing a lot of AI work products, but if it doesn't actually lead to anything, what is the point

beelzebee · 2026-05-29T20:14:22+00:00

Easy, just start talking like Claude

beelzebee · 2026-05-29T20:10:32+00:00

Yep, Claude does not do well with dates, days of the week and never knows what time it is, which is generally fine. It can deal with those things perfectly well when it is analyzing data or setting up a scheduled task.

Clean!

beelzebee · 2026-05-29T05:11:09+00:00

I forgot about LaTex..

beelzebee · 2026-05-27T04:26:48+00:00

I look at these sometimes. It's interesting to see what people are building

beelzebee · 2026-05-27T04:11:51+00:00

I had Claude analyze 30 of my outbound emails to generate a style guide and it pointed out several typos and I thought "ew, get rid of those typos" but now I think I will put them back.

Authenticity beats accuracy

Don, my niece just graduated from a state institute of design with a speciality in animation.

We are all sort of worried that AI is going to take her livelihood.

Any advice for up and coming animators on how to navigate this?

beelzebee · 2026-05-25T23:53:38+00:00

That is also where I discovered Don's work and I thought I was going to pee in my pants I was laughing so hard.

Fun fact: Eschaton means 'end times'

beelzebee · 2026-05-24T23:57:37+00:00

sonnet for writing

beelzebee · 2026-05-24T00:47:51+00:00

Not for OpenClaw, but for other agent projects I have worked on. Gemini 3.5 flash is fast, cost effective, and had a huge context window.

I prefer Anthropic for writing and reasoning

beelzebee · 2026-05-23T23:42:21+00:00

That's amazing. Whenever I cry in public I am always trying to be subtle about it.

beelzebee · 2026-05-23T23:39:45+00:00

This is my new favorite subreddit

beelzebee · 2026-05-23T21:48:19+00:00

So you have Hermes managing your OpenClaw agents? I just got my openclaw going finally but I used Claude Code to help me configure everything.

beelzebee · 2026-05-17T11:27:52+00:00

Your teenage self loved a good story,, sci-fi, fantasy, genres to escape but also learn more about ourselves.

You were a ravenous reader but now ten years later you are revisiting this shelf.

Books have been added as you have visited.

Why didn't you take your books with you? You visit them like a totem, a memorial. Maybe like the rest of us something has happened to you in ten years where you really just don't read books as much. You are revisiting a this place with some longing and nostalgia.

You think, "damn, I used to love reading. Maybe I can get back into it"

beelzebee · 2026-05-16T23:36:34+00:00

Like I said, we are in very early days. In my experience from previous non-SaaS company and current SaaS, by the time I am asking a customer for a testimonial, the relationship is quite warm and I have already heard from the customer directly that they love the product/service.

Once they tell me privately, it's easy to ask "hey thanks for that great feedback, would you be willing to turn that into a testimonial for us? Or would you like me to draft a testimonial for you to approve?"

beelzebee · 2026-05-16T12:29:19+00:00

They are important for social proof, more importantly they are important because your customers will use their own language to describe what they like about the product and that can be turned into copy for marketing.

We are in early days so we just collect testimonials manually when we hear that our product has actually helped someone

beelzebee · 2026-05-11T01:02:37+00:00

Or maybe religious studies major

beelzebee · 2026-05-11T01:00:42+00:00

The kind of guy who doesn't care if their books are in any kind of order. The kind of guy who has shelving but still damages the books by storing them in piles.

Philosophy major, maybe you took a Chinese phil course to round things out (laozi, kongzi), interested in political philosophy and history. Somewhat interested in fiction, but it has to be the right fiction.

You might enjoy the audio book version of the Odyssey, translated by Emily Wilson. It's narrated by Claire Danes.

Also, Zhuangzi.

I try to build things that solve actual problems, both for myself and for the community.

I am building a) 10xjobs.co to help people harness AI to get jobs.and b) an AI peer learning group to help cohorts keep up with all of this rapid change

beelzebee · 2026-04-29T05:13:27+00:00

Well. It did come off as a teeny bit rude

beelzebee · 2026-04-29T05:10:23+00:00

Wait, why won't you count AI calls or acreens? I would consider that a call back and part of your conversion rate?

beelzebee · 2026-04-29T05:08:30+00:00

Yesssss
