@Captain7bag Many people want an answer as quickly as possible. Some of us want the right answer.

Where does Claude’s laziness come from? It is always trying to skim, skip, and wrap up a session.

@vo2master Do you ever read or reply to DM’s? I’m a (potential) customer that will soon look elsewhere.

@kepano @JensHonack I get stuck at 8, as I don't see "apps"?

@palmares @JensHonack follow the steps here: help.obsidian.md/early-access

It's not because your agent can do something with 12 tool calls and 20k tokens that it should. For example, Obsdian CLI has a command called "orphans" that finds files with no incoming links. Now your agent can get a deterministic answer in 1 millisecond instead of 4 minutes.

@kepano @JensHonack I have catalyst insider and I can’t upgrade to 1.12? It shows the previous version?

@JensHonack yes, but it requires Obsidian 1.12 help.obsidian.md/early-access

@kepano How long does it usually take to get a response for a support email? I’ve been patiently waiting since Monday. (Ticket 125590). Thanks.

@NoahEpstein_ Desktop

Claude just made every productivity app subscription look like a scam. They dropped Claude Desktop - AI that actually talks to your computer's files, apps, and tools. And it's FREE with any Claude plan (even the free tier). The same capabilities automation tools charge $2,000+/year for: - Direct access to your local files (no uploading) - 100+ one-click extensions (GitHub, Slack, AWS, databases) - Runs terminal commands with your approval - Connects to literally everything you use daily While everyone's juggling 12 browser tabs and 8 SaaS subscriptions, smart people are getting: ✓ Files organized automatically (rename, sort, dedupe in seconds) ✓ Real automation without Zapier ($588/year saved) ✓ Zero context-switching (system-wide keyboard shortcut) ✓ Work happens locally (your sensitive files never hit the cloud) The kicker? Anthropic onboarding dropped from 3 weeks to 3 DAYS for developers using this. You're competing against people who turned their AI into an actual assistant. Comment "DESKTOP" and I'll send you: ✓ The exact extension setup that replaces 5 subscriptions ✓ Real automation workflows people are running ✓ How to connect it to your entire tech stack --- Now how to actually use this (not just install and forget): For Everyone: 1. Download from claude.com/download (5-minute setup) 2. Use Quick Entry hotkey from ANY app (no browser needed) 3. Ask it to organize your messy Downloads folder 4. Have it explain system errors in plain English 5. Let it write emails while you're in Slack For Automators: 1. Install the filesystem extension (Settings → Extensions) 2. Set up GitHub MCP server for automatic code reviews 3. Connect your database - no more SQL query guessing 4. Use CLAUDE.md in your repos (AI reads your conventions automatically) 5. Chain tools together: "research → summarize → email → schedule" The automation space is sweating because anyone can now: → Build workflows that cost $200/month on Make/Zapier → Access 100+ services without learning 100 APIs → Run multi-step automation with one prompt → Keep everything local (no cloud security nightmares) One Zapier Power subscription ($588/year) = 2.9 years of Claude Pro with Desktop free. Let that sink in. The people still paying for workflow automation tools don't know this exists yet.

@basicprompts @grok Whats the URL for this?

@Captain7bag 😂

I need a Coggan. I need an intellectual nemesis to do battle with. Anyone out there looking for a nemesis?

@NTSAcademia Thanks @NTSAcademia

@palmares The Athlete Food Coach. If the athlete is very profesional, like the one in the image, everything runs perfect.

My concerns lately. An athlete won't skip the hard stuff if they know their coach is tracking their power on the bike, pace on a run, or VBT numbers in the gym. But nutrition is a different story. How do you even track that from a distance? How would that even work? Image: a perfect athle.

@DrTEHughes Thanks. I wear Nike Invincibles (Zoom X) for 95% of runs, and my legs are still sore after every one. But, I'm a cyclist, mostly.

@palmares Yep, ZoomX or my choice which is Saucony and pwrrunBP/HG. I don't get on well with stiff plates, so tend to snap them in my shoes. They act more to stabilise the foam anyway. The newer super foams give more energy back, less absorption into tissues I believe.

As I ran to work this morning I am once again reminded of the near miraculous powers of super-foams to reduce muscle soreness post long-hard runs. Almost zero muscle soreness this morning despite an over reaching run yesterday. In regular shoes I'd barely be walking today.

@pl_valenzuela @david_barranco @PallaresJG @HPSportsSci Very nice. Would you mind sharing the pdf, or could you elaborate on the on-bike protocols (it's not clear in the abstract)?

Kudos to @david_barranco @PallaresJG @HPSportsSci for leading the study.

Our last study, now online in @MSSEonline! We show that 10 weeks of on-bike low-cadence efforts performed against very high resistances can provide comparable (or even higher) benefits to traditional off-bike strength training on pedalling torque. journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/abst…
