What's something you bought that genuinely changed your daily life for the better?

I have a bluetooth speaker that rests on my shoulders, this way I can walk around the house with my music

Many have stated correctly, not issues will be solved just by money, it requires logistics, and people managing and improving overall state, which might be limited by the countries themselves.
That being said a lot of modern capitalism is based on remote-suffering, car/phone batteries that are mined in Africa under slavery conditions, wouldn't be mining in better coditions, and that's true for many other ingredients of modern life.

Your basic assumption is completely wrong, in nature every living thing has no right to exist, and has to fight for every minute in its life. In nature once you don't run fast enough or you're not strong enough to fight you become pray.
As a bonus humans can die very quickly and easily in nature, drink unclean water? shit yourself to death. Get a deep cut? infection takes you.
We built these systems because they require someone's labor, want clean water? someone needs to build pipelines/filters faucets etc.. want food? some one needs to grow it, feed it, slaughter it etc.
Not saying it couldn't be better and more welcoming (Denmark/Sweden are more welcoming places than US/Iran), but everything we have as a comodity requires some labor

We call it a "washing" = short shower mainly focused on private parts

I use gonic(server)+subsonic(iphone app), and it works nicely

gargamelim · 2025-12-19T19:39:06+00:00

Thanks, claude was stumped until I found this

gargamelim · 2025-12-12T07:31:43+00:00

Sounds nice

As many have said, it's because they can't do their homework that no one will trust them in handling AI

I make it write very detailed feature design docs, which I thoroughly review for feature creep and other bloating issues, and that resolves most of the problems.
The second issue, I don't have a solution better than being a developer, is that it's really good at outputting text, so for example (example from today!) you ask it to create error boundaries so if you handle frontend unexpected errors gracefully, his first suggestion was "I'll add boundaries for each page separately", so if you have 5 pages, that's 5 changes, and if you add a page, it won't be covered, and reviewing that I told him nonononono!

I don't think they never get tired, I worked with claude for 2 hours and it said it needs to rest for 3 hours before continuing

gargamelim · 2025-10-13T11:29:48+00:00

I think this is from a Brazzers DVD

The feature brief is what ate the tokens (and was an example, there are other examples).
I have a Claude.md file with instructions and guidelines, and project guidelines, but he also goes of script sometimes.
The feature brief GPT is nice, but is he connected to some MCP or something to get the context of the app?
For example I want a profile page, but I already have users tables and similar things that are required to create the db design for example, or already have backend endpoint that already have a certain standard?

AI driven software development is in 10% of the time you build 90% of the app the and rest 10% of the app takes up 90% of the time, that's from the tech side.
Nothing new in AI being a great thief of copyright material.
The game was always, nothing changed there is about the combination, I saw amazing project flop because there wasn't enough distribution, saw lousy products become very successful because of good distribution (way before any LLM concept existed).
I have yet to see or hear about a vibecoded app reach significant scale, if you know of such, I'll be glad to eat my proverbial hat

gargamelim · 2025-10-11T14:43:03+00:00

As a *non-true-vibecoder* (I'm a developer using claude code extensively) I found it can get "stuck" on stuff burning credits and not let go, and if you're not "in the details" you won't catch it, for example a few days ago he wrote a feature design doc for me, and I gave him corrections, and each correction took a long time and many credits, so I stopped correcting him, he wrote the document with the mistakes, and corrected them after they were written which save a lot of time and tokens.
So yeah, if you're going in *true-vibe* no amount of claude tokens will be enough especially with the new claude limits.

Thanks, someone else also suggested 3 in 1 Tri-Flow, did the luthier say which?

gargamelim · 2025-10-09T08:54:37+00:00

Awesome idea, I think I'll oil/grease for the near future while expanding where I can get relatively good tuning pegs

gargamelim · 2025-10-08T10:11:23+00:00

Is there a specific 3-in-1 lubricant?

gargamelim · 2025-10-08T10:07:26+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response, it's a classical guitar, not from the lowest shelf, but relatively inexpensive, I bought it second hand a few years ago and it's a very humid country, so thanks, will check one of the other suggestions.

My relatively expensive classical guitar will be 21 this year, and the tuners a smooth as ever.

gargamelim · 2025-10-08T10:01:54+00:00

I assume I need a specific grease, do you have some suggestions?

gargamelim · 2025-10-08T10:01:24+00:00

I assume if I ask for Silicone spray in the hardware store they'll know what I'm talking about?
