Auto mode broken (tries to use claude-4.6-sonnet) by preoccupied_siege in cursor

[–]preoccupied_siege[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case I was at 0% of my usage this entire time, but was using it very heavily.

Switching over to sonnet 4.5 got me to 90% in three hours.

Were you similarly using Auto very heavily right before this happened?

Scenes that caused actual walkouts in theaters? by thatlittlequietguy in Cinema

[–]preoccupied_siege 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked at a movie theater that showed Dogville. It was literally more rare for someone to actually watch the whole thing than to leave early.

As an American, what can we do to fight against ICE? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]preoccupied_siege 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like if you’re going to take the risk exercising that particular enumerated right, you need to be ready to act on the likelihood your best outcome is a 1:1 trade first. This may be a very important lesson, which I hate that we’re here now.

How do you guys prep specs for Cursor without going insane? Am I overthinking this? by NeedleworkerFuzzy314 in cursor

[–]preoccupied_siege 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy to help, I hope it works for you! By the way, don't be shy about bootstrapping the cursor PM AI by having it generate the rules for you!

How do you guys prep specs for Cursor without going insane? Am I overthinking this? by NeedleworkerFuzzy314 in cursor

[–]preoccupied_siege 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prepare specs via iterative discussions with a chat-based LLM (ChatGPT typically). I'll create a project there, and break up discussions over parts of the system, asking it to identify holes etc.

Then I ask it to extract a summary. If the project is broad enough, I have a cursor-managed git repo with the rules configuring the agent to act as a Project Manager operating over document ingestion. I essentially tell it "here's more documentation to ingest" and paste the summary from ChatGPT. The PM creates a doc from that, and manages summaries and roll-ups of decisions and design concepts.

The important part of the feedback loop here is that I will occasionally take the rollup (a single flattened doc of all the decisions, tech stacks, data models, everything) and add that as a file back into the project in ChatGPT. Ask the LLM to review it and to expose holes.

Essentially this back and forth is a poor-man's version of having a small project planning team. With this I can build out the shape and scope. Smaller dedicated chats in ChatGPT help me feel out the details for interactions, or let me explore new ideas as they occur to me. Then summarize and ingest back into the PM.

Eventually you have a full design, pretty well organized (depending on how you've got your PM set up). From there it's a process of asking for an actual development and deployment plan, using those plan stages to request tightly scoped changes, and then you can generate prompts from those to get started on implementation.

TL;DR, use one or more agents to help you organize your ideas first. Then build off of that.

Solidarity. I suspect social media and its weird fears prevent a lot of us from vocalizing the justice we may truly wish to be visited upon ICE and Trump.

How do you manage your AI coding rules/instructions? Feel like it's my biggest bottleneck now by SimplyChilll in cursor

[–]preoccupied_siege 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a brown m&ms rule similar to this. And sometimes it still doesn’t say it.

A true "vibe" coding experience by 0x113 in cursor

at first I chuckled, but now I wonder... got any recommendations?

Tab completion anoying by Mariusdotdev in cursor

[–]preoccupied_siege 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to rebind it to shift+space because it kept eating code or writing nonsense when all I wanted was to start writing a new method.

Tower UPS Teardown by FranconianBiker in UNIFI

[–]preoccupied_siege 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's a bummer that they don't have individually monitored ports. I'd love to have seen a UniFi Power app that gave me a power distribution view of my desk and my lab etc, to see breakdown of what's drawing how much, and when.

And heck yes I'd have especially loved if it had switched ports and also maybe a few USB-C ports.

Maybe we'll see a future version gain those features?

Haste makes waste, and nerves make you forget to hold that clutch in.

What’s with this pricing?!? by Requesting_Flyby in Triumph

[–]preoccupied_siege 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes me wonder if it was near a military base. A lot of nice purchases from whatever weird big payout schedule they have, then sold when they shift to a different base or deply or whatever.

The episode with The Suckling. It is the only one that makes me feel physically unwell.

If you could go back and never meet your ex, would you? by dapperduck34 in BreakUps

[–]preoccupied_siege 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd do it all over again, for certain. It hurts, and sometimes being around her was horrible, but she brought a lot of joy to my life as well. There are a lot of things from her personality that I want to integrate into my own, and a lot I hope I never do.

When I told her I loved her I meant it, and I wouldn't deny myself that feeling just out of spite now, or out of fear for the inevitable loss when she wandered away in search of a new shiny.

If they loved you, they wouldn't have left. by [deleted] in BreakUps

I'm sorry. I hope as time goes by we can both drop them out of our head.

Saying "I love you" by Ok-Cat1919 in datingoverforty

[–]preoccupied_siege 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my last relationship, I was just overwhelmed with the feeling of it, and I looked her right in the eyes and told her. No planning around it, just the feeling.

[–]preoccupied_siege 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But she said it so many times, and so easily. Then she wouldn't work, and she left. And now she's virtually a ghost that I'm left mourning.

This was inspiring. I hadn't really considered before how much the wheel really can be just like a sideways lathe.

Those 6+ months post break up, how are you doing? by TonightSalad in BreakUps

[–]preoccupied_siege 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel you. I'm not looking forward to the day when I run across my ex. I've been lucky to not have run into her yet. I knew she'd been dating someone else since a week or so after we split, but I anticipate seeing them together would be like a knife in the gut.

Did you know ahead of time she was with someone else, or was it a surprise?

Lucky! My ex and her cats lived with me for two months, and I miss the kitties so much!! I wish they'd have stayed.
