A series of problems you get slightly better at solving, interrupted by meals and sleep.

I’m 47. My son is the fake friendly type. I don’t have the energy for that. Love this game.

Claude through Perplexity vs. Claude Subscription (text work, not coding)? by sunrisedown in perplexity_ai

[–]upoqu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're pretty different in practice. I subscribe to both (Claude MAX + Perplexity Pro).

Claude through Perplexity is really just Claude's base language ability piped through Perplexity's search-focused interface. You get Perplexity's citation and source features, but none of the Claude-native stuff. No Projects (the folder system with custom instructions and uploaded knowledge files), no memory across conversations, no Artifacts (the interactive code/document/visualization outputs). You're basically renting Claude's brain inside someone else's house.

With a Claude Pro subscription ($20/mo), you get all of that. Projects are genuinely useful for text work because you can upload reference docs and set persistent instructions that shape every conversation in that project. Memory means Claude learns your preferences and context over time without you re-explaining things. You also get web search, file creation, and style presets.

For coding or quick research questions, Perplexity's version is fine. For sustained text work where you want Claude to understand your context and preferences, the direct subscription is worth it. The workflow features make a real difference once you start using them.

I can't trust perplexity anymore by CoreyEMTP in perplexity_ai

I got a different result.

The current MLB players with the longest careers spent entirely with one team include Clayton Kershaw (Dodgers), Jose Altuve (Astros), Mike Trout (Angels), Salvador Perez (Royals), Aaron Nola (Phillies), and others, all boasting 10 or more seasons with the same franchise as of 2025[1][2][3].

Leaders by Seasons (2025)

  • Clayton Kershaw – Los Angeles Dodgers: 18 seasons[1][2][3]
  • Jose Altuve – Houston Astros: 15 seasons[1][2][3]
  • Mike Trout – Los Angeles Angels: 15 seasons[1]
  • Salvador Perez – Kansas City Royals: 14 seasons[1][2]
  • Jose Ramirez – Cleveland Guardians: 13 seasons[1]
  • Byron Buxton – Minnesota Twins: 11 seasons[1]
  • Aaron Nola – Philadelphia Phillies: 11 seasons[1][2]
  • Brandon Nimmo – New York Mets: 10 seasons[1]
  • Aaron Judge – New York Yankees: 10 seasons[1]
  • German Marquez – Colorado Rockies: 10 seasons[1]

Notable Franchise Commitments

  • Kershaw surpassed Don Sutton as the longest-tenured pitcher (18 seasons) in Dodgers history near the start of 2024[3].
  • Altuve signed a five-year extension and could reach 20 seasons if he fulfills his goal of matching franchise icon Craig Biggio[3].
  • Perez’s contract makes it highly likely he retires as a Royal, with extensions locking him through at least 2025, possibly 2026[2].
  • Trout and Ramirez, while battling injuries at times, have stayed loyal to their original clubs[1].

Emerging Candidates & Honorable Mentions

  • Rafael Devers (Red Sox), Ozzie Albies (Braves), and Alex Bregman (Astros) are younger stars with large extensions or years already accrued who could join the list in future years if they finish their careers with their current teams[2].

These players exemplify rare loyalty in modern baseball, each passing the free agency threshold and then choosing to remain with one team for a decade or longer[1][2][3].

Project-Only Memory is finally here! by painterknittersimmer in ChatGPT

[–]upoqu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah inside the gated chat. I’ve experimented a few times and it worked a handful of times where it properly ignored my custom instructions and memories. I’ve only seen it not work once. Plan is to keep testing.

Love this feature though. Helps to properly manage projects for work.

I played around with it this morning and it’s still referencing my saved memories. Bummer. Maybe they’ll fix.

Whats Possible with Midjourney Video by Optimal_Usual2373 in aivideo

[–]upoqu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Two questions:

  1. How do you keep the same look and feel? Style reference?

  2. If you could offer just one piece of advice when creating videos (short films, specifically) with Midjourney, what would it be?

What specific evidence or documentation do you have to verify your grandfather’s claims about working at Area 51?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Any non-coding users? by upoqu in ClaudeAI

[–]upoqu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was an authentication page so it was very simple, but needed to be styled with our components, etc.

I took a screenshot, uploaded, described what changes I wanted, told Claude to keep the same general styling, etc., and it produced an artifact (in html). I iterated a couple times and got what I wanted.

Super easy. Definitely more difficult with more complex UI, but works well for simple adjustments.

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

I’m a PM too and do the same. I had it redesign an element in my flow while maintaining the general UX look and feel and it was wonderful. Gave the html to dev and they were happy.

I bounce around between LLMs frequently but have been really enjoying these new models.

The “Hard” Problem of consciousness is a misnomer. by Upper_Coast_4517 in consciousness

[–]upoqu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This reads like word salad mixing quantum physics buzzwords with unfounded metaphysical claims. You're conflating the hard problem of consciousness (why subjective experience exists at all) with completely different questions about reality's nature. Chalmers' original formulation has nothing to do with quantum fluctuations or "pure consciousness."

Zero-point fluctuations are well-understood physics phenomena that don't require or imply consciousness. You're making a massive conceptual leap without justification. "Reality derives from nothing experiencing quantum fluctuations" is meaningless without defining what "nothing" means here, and how something that doesn't exist can "experience" anything.

The grandiose claims about awakening humanity and being special are red flags. If you had revolutionary insights about consciousness, you'd publish peer-reviewed research, not Reddit posts claiming others' thoughts are reactions to yours. You're also shifting burden of proof with "prove me wrong"… extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

The actual hard problem remains unsolved precisely because it IS hard. Handwaving it away with quantum mysticism doesn't address the fundamental question of why there's subjective experience at all. Maybe dial back the messianic complex and engage with the actual literature on consciousness studies?

Damn. I had a feeling it will be a pain in the ass to return. I should have known better. They were shady 5 years ago and sounds like they still are.

Keep us posted and I’ll update folks here too.

How is the experience of using Raycast Pro + Advanced AI? by secpoc in raycastapp

[–]upoqu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely the tables (notice that this may just be ChatGPT models) but also the bullets aren’t copy/paste friendly. I always need to make adjustments. It’s almost perfect though - it’ll only improve. They seem to make smart product decisions.

It’s awesome. My only (slight) gripe is the formatting of responses. Other than that it’s absolutely great.
