@bWgibb 1. Its job is to be a general purpose robot, we didn’t build it to solve this use case. We built it to solve all use cases 2. Here the package has sorted to be barcode down, so it can be scanned underneath and then another label is pneumatically applied to the opposite side

here is my n=1 experience with codex /goal mode: - ran for 47 hours before hitting weekly limit (pro 5x plan) - token usage: total=43M - estimates it's 60% percent kinda stuck now @sama ... have to wait until May 11 to continue. no idea on quality of output yet...

“Most charging stops were under five minutes” Yea, nope. That didn’t happen.
Nahuel Hilal - TattooGuy@nahuelhilal

Yesterday I drove my @tesla 900 miles on FSD from Miami to Nashville and I realized it’s genuinely the better option. I fly that route 2 to 3 times a month. Flights are never under $400. Most times $600. Sometimes $800. Add Uber to and from both airports, or parking garage fees. Then factor in the delays, the cancellations, the security theater, the chaos, the guy next to you who hasn’t met deodorant yet. On the other hand: I pack healthy snacks, press one button, and the car just goes. I took calls. Replied to emails. FaceTimed my family. Ate without pulling over. Did everything I normally do on a travel day, except none of the stuff that makes travel days miserable. My biggest concern going in was range and charging. Here’s what actually happened: My bladder needed one extra stop the car didn’t even suggest. Most charging stops were under five minutes. Total cost for the whole trip was less than just the uber to the airport. And this was the base model Y. Now I’m thinking I should get something comfier and just make this the default.

New gym gear day 😮‍💨 getting rid of the rack of fixed cheapo hex dumbbells for these 125lb REP x Pepin adjustables 💪🏻 Saves a bunch of space and much less annoying than trying to get the heavy fixed dumbbells out of the bottom of the rack.

@andrewchen why not just a global keyboard shortcut? i use hyperkey + 2 and then use karabiner to map holding “d” key to this shortcut. works wonderful.

some rules of thumb on charging current on cables: - 4.16kV, 1000ft (300m), 4/0 AWG is about 0.5A - 4.16kV, 1000ft (300m), 500 MCM is about 0.7A - 13.8kV, 1000ft (300m), 4/0 AWG is about 1A - 13.8kV, 1000ft (300m), 500 MCM is about 1.5A something to be mindful of on lightly loaded, long distribution cables, as you can get issues with reactive power flow and voltage rise. the following things will increase the capacitance and therefore increase the charging current on a single line-to-ground fault. 1) conductors size 2) voltage 3) insulation level (100%, 133%, 173%) 4) cable length

sizing motor branch circuits by hand means flipping between NEC 430.22, 430.52, ampacity tables, and your catalog. ekx does all of it the moment you set the horsepower

The business opportunities this creates: 1. Competitive intelligence as a service (agents monitoring competitor sites 24/7) 2. Automated lead research (pull prospect data from anywhere) 3. Real-time price monitoring for e-commerce 4. Research agencies powered by 1 person + agents Every website is now a tool. Build the workflows.
Simplifying AI@simplifyinAI

Google just made web scraping obsolete 🤯 Chrome has dropped an early preview of WebMCP and it is a massive deal. Every single website can now become a native tool for AI agents.

@aviflombaum @tobi I tried this but don't you have to qmd index and qmd embed after each feature developed or the qmd index becomes stale? I found that to be annoying and eventually gave up on qmd for codebases. what am i missing?

If you're not blocking claude from Glob/grep explore loops without using @tobi's github.com/tobi/qmd and a skill of your own to create a project memory/context, you're doing it wrong.

I am using Minimax M2.5 heavily without worrying about the usage limit The Plus plan is all you need It gives 300 prompts per 5 hours which is more than enough for me.

Man don't sleep on Claude Code in the desktop app/on the web. I feed this thing every little random tedious OSS task that I'd otherwise neglect on my TODO list and it just churns through it all asynchronously flawlessly while I work on more important stuff. So, so, so good for brainless work.

@DanielleMorrill Has anyone found a browser automation solution that a) works b) is somewhat near human speed (even 0.5x would be fine)?

Has anyone found a good MCP for automating the browser with multiple browser sessions at the same time without having collisions? So that I can have multiple cloud codes doing multiple processes in multiple browsers on the same computer at the same time?

Clawd Bot is a 24/7 assistant with access to its own computer. What if there were ten, or a hundred, or a thousand?? all running 24/7 in the cloud with access to your files, your Gmail, calendar, everything about you... That's the future, and we're living it today.
