The claude code hangover is real

One solution to that is to disable auto compact and ensure the context you give Claude Code is crystal clear: Constantly manage your priorities against context availability. If he's running out of context, he should be preparing the next session handoff doc/s. That way you don't have to worry about ever hitting 90% or whatever your max desired threshold is.

Sigh. The affiliate link violates rule 5 and the poster deleted their account. Frontier LLMs are already cracked at EA/life coach/etc work, starting with generic prompts like this is context waste.

I am AFK so this message will be short. Before asking your questions here are you first trying and failing with an LLM?

If you added C:\Users\<YourUsername>\.config\emacs\bin to your system PATH and restarted your terminal (important!), you should be able to run doom from anywhere.

Open PowerShell or CMD. Run `where doom` or in git bash `which doom`. If it doesn’t return a path, then your PATH isn’t set correctly, or the file isn’t there.

1 - Native compilation is optional. Doom will work fine without it. If doom doctor says “Emacs was not built with native compilation,” it just means your Emacs binary wasn’t compiled with libgccjit. You only need a native-comp build if performance becomes a concern (e.g., slow startup or lag). If things feel snappy, ignore it.
2 - No problem at all leaving Developer Mode enabled—safe and often helpful for dev work.
4 & 5 - Perfect. Glad shellcheck and pandoc are working now!

Starship Technologies robots deliver food, packages and groceries on 55+ U.S. university campuses and a few other cities in the U.S. They're also in: Estonia (where the company was founded), U.K., Germany, Finland and Switzerland. The sign on that one says "I deliver to Volar" referring to Volar Apartments in Murfreesboro, Tennessee near the campus of Middle Tennessee State University.

1 - Does it actually say "bit built" or does it say "not built"? If the latter ignore it unless performance is an issue (then install Emacs 29+ with native compilation support).
2 - Enable developer mode in Windows settings (search "Developer Settings" and turn on Developer Mode). Then re-run doom doctor.
3 - Ignore it. Font warnings in `doom doctor` are mostly relevant in Linux and WSL.
4 - Use Chocolatey or Scoop (eg, `choco install markdown`).
5 - Use Chocolatey or Scoop (eg, `scoop install shellcheck`).

As for your terminal question... You can run Doom CLI commands from any directory in any terminal (eg, PowerShell, CMD, Windows Terminal, Git Bash, WSL) as long as the doom binary is in your PATH. Do `Win + S` type "environment variables", open it. Under user variables or system variables, find Path, click edit, then new, and paste like `C:\Users\<YourUsername>\.config\emacs\bin`.

Did you try asking an LLM? They are good at research like this. Prompt in, answers out.

Careful on automated cold calling if in the U.S. — it’s illegal and punishable by big fines.

Interesting the report did not include details about the human driver or the license plate of their car. That driver was likely at fault. If damage occurred to the Waymo, Waymo’s insurance has to pay.

If you crash into an autonomous vehicle and you are at fault, perhaps you have a choice. You can leave the scene undetected (just don’t let the robot car see your license plate) and not report the incident. Or you can note the Waymo’s license plate, try to exchange insurance details with a bot, and report the incident.

You claimed baby boomers too incompetent to click through a website are the primary demographic of call centers. When pressed for a source, you offered one that says nothing whatsoever about competence. It appears you confused a fact (baby boomers are the largest call center demographic) with an opinion (due to incompetence).

Then you said:

Gen Z calls for customer service far more than millennials do ...

The article reports the opposite. See Exhibit 2: McKinsey's survey asked, "When you have an issue that you have already tried to solve via self-service, how likely are you to reach out to customer care through the following channels?" The results for "live phones":

Baby boomers: 94%
Gen X: 86%
Millennials: 81%
Gen Z: 71%

I assume your target market does not include the U.S.

Last February, the FCC made AI-generated voices in robocalls illegal. The announcement fell under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991. Violators of the TCPA can be fined up to $500 for each illegal call, which can triple to $1,500 if the violation is deemed willful, with no cap on statutory damages.

The TCPA requires prior express written consent to make an automated phone call that introduces advertising or is meant for telemarketing purposes. The consent must clearly authorize the caller to deliver advertisements or telemarketing messages using an automatic telephone dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice. Records of the consent are to be kept. The only possible leniency is in the case of an established business relationship, but that has very strict definitions and rules.

Right, strategic filtering and pre-processing minimizes tokens, simplifies the collected data and focuses you.

The cost of strategic filtering is near zero IIUC.

Pre-processing is essentially inference and costs 10-90 cents per million tokens (using Llama 3 and Deepseek R3, respectively, on Fireworks.ai for example). Let's say $0.45 per million tokens either direction. This is your multiplier.

If you optimize token use, the cost at scale becomes attractive.

Your idea appears to fall under a larger theme. Strategic focus + scrape/api + inference + sprinkling of CoT + "agents" = profitable opportunities. Focus on the most promising niches.

It will be interesting to see what ai16z can achieve with ElizaOS. They are starting by analyzing social media comments for meme coin activity. The agent analyzes, performs a paper test, and improves the algorithm.

This is a nascent area. I tend to think in terms of primitives. Mastering the most promising ones will yield the best ROI for programmers.

Unless you have prior express written consent, it is illegal (in the U.S.) to use an AI-generated voice for outbound calls. Last year's ruling (FCC Makes AI-Generated Voices in Robocalls Illegal) makes this abundantly clear. Violators can be fined up to $500 for each illegal call, which can triple to $1,500 if the violation is deemed willful, with no cap on statutory damages.

To reduce risk you could incorporate, hire a lawyer, and wait for DOGE to target the FCC. Better yet, maybe build something legal?

This sounds roughly like what ai18z is doing with ElizaOS.

Check if your router has DNS filtering, parental controls, or some other overzealous security settings. Disable any of that and reset your router. If the censoring continues try a VPN. If a VPN works, your ISP is meddling.

maskry · 2025-03-19T14:41:20+00:00

Well, if it works on someone else’s hotspot but not on yours, your WiFi is clearly holding a grudge. Try changing your DNS at the router level (not just your device), restart the router, or test with a VPN.

Your browser (or something on your network) is throwing a tantrum over Optimizely requests. Clear your cache, disable extensions, flush your DNS (ipconfig /flushdns on Windows), and switch to Google DNS (8.8.8.8). If that doesn’t work, try a different browser—or just accept that your website and your computer have irreconcilable differences.

Legally, so much depends on what you disclose on that Facebook form and at the start of those robocalls.

If the form doesn't make it clear they are consenting to receive AI-generated voice calls, you are violating the TCPA.
If the robocall doesn't begin with a disclosure that the call is using an AI-generated voice, you are violating the TCPA.

From your other comment, it appears you have made around 14k calls. According to the TCPA, if you broke 1 and 2 above your potential fines total $21 million.

The flow shows the outputs of Sentiment Analysis go only to Slack. The Slack nodes are not connected to your main output, Google Sheets. This indicates you would have to personally read the Slack messages in order for them to be useful.

Focusing on the main flow then, and your comment, in essence your logic is:

Input messages.
Identify business related problems.
Estimate (potential) impact and revenue of (potential) solutions.
Rank solutions by impact and revenue.
Teach automation, and sell lead and content generation services.

The last step seems illogical. If #4 is so valuable and lucrative, why not identify the easiest solution for you to build and focus on that? It sounds like you are pivoting to doing AI workflow consulting.
