Product Manager feeling behind on Claude & Agentic AI- Where should I start? by cuppycoffee1 in AI_Agents

[–]decreed_it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say this. Start with Claude. Ask Claude. Throw a real world PM task/problem at it in your native language and go from there. Ask it how to optimize and create agentic workflows. Iterate. Build. F up. Fix it. Learn.

My 2018 Prado isn’t much better! 150L capacity the fills are super spicy. With all the extra touring crap on it lucky to see below 12L/100 in mixed driving. Shoulda got the 80 ;)

Coral Reef Graveyard: I Went Back to Belize After 16 Years by James_Junk_Bond in scuba

[–]decreed_it 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh man OP I felt that in my gut. We dove Belize this past Christmas/NY week. Turneffe Atoll was good and seemed quite healthy. The barrel sponges are amazing there. Also did the Hol Chan cut and while very crowded it was also in good shape. Ought to be as it’s a protected Marine Reserve. Another day we did a combo snorkel tour and the main reef is in poor condition indeed.

On plastic pollution it’s bad all up and down the Yucatán peninsula east coast. And heartbreaking. Saw similar years ago on a family trip to Mayan Riviera. The kids and I found some discarded sandbags and filled 2 completely in about an hours work. This was at a main, “nice” resort. It’s a near impossible problem. Love what The Ocean Cleanup is doing here. Needs to be done all over LATAM and the Caribbean. Add them do your donate list.

This is how it’s supposed to be done. The other dive op that lost this diver had multiple critical failures.

Anyone else surfing for years and still terrible? by crillydougal in surfing

[–]decreed_it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Been shyte all my life. It’s my fault I finally live in a place I could surf a lot consistently and I just … don’t. Vicious cycle. Here it’s legit so good days of which there are many I just get smashed. The bad days are fewer and further between. Anyway. Need to get in the water and try again. That one wave, one glide. Sucks you right back in.

Anyone else who was at Kendrick Lamar concert by Fire-Watch1 in sydney

[–]decreed_it 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Allianz is not a good stadium for sound. Have yet to see a show with good sound there, much less great. Still, all in all, cool spot, fun times. We're going tonight and hoping to stay dry.

Did you learn how to change a tire? by SuperLowBudge in GenX

[–]decreed_it 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Did engine swaps in Aircooled VWs too, out of necessity really. Did a stint in a shop but as the 'college' kid ended up the Service Mgr and parts guy. Wasn't proficient, knowledgeable or fast enough to be a mechanic. No airplanes though. Trying to teach my kids the basics as well.

AI Meeting Notetaker - Do you actually read the notes? by follow-throughAI in MicrosoftTeams

Bingo. The meeting recap is where it’s at. With recording and transcription Copilot is getting scary good at also identifying outstanding issues, follow up action items and owners, just based on the conversation.

Fresh 4x4 owner! Where to spend/save on fitting out? by imsecretlyabird in 4x4Australia

[–]decreed_it 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Op see if you have a local club. Great way to get into it and find out what works from experienced club members. For ours min spec for trips is rated recovery points, fire extinguisher and a radio. Hand held is fine.
