How do you find new groups on WhatsApp?
Word of mouth.
Ironically enough, I just sent this to a friend around the same time you commented this
"I’m curious where event discovery is for___, are there TG / WA groups?"

I feel like that's great advice for people working on their own side projects.
But... I'm employed? I mean surely it translates to "go on vacation" but it's pretty useless advice for days where you simply have to work and can't just... not?
I don't think it needs to translate to "go on vacation". During my time being employed, this translated into getting up and stretching, taking a few minutes to look out the window, going for a short walk, taking an intentional breath, sitting and meditating for 15 minutes, actually eating lunch away from my computer, or not eating lunch and going for a quick run or doing yoga or going to the gym.
This can come forth in so many ways.
Moment by moment we can have an eye on our body and what it is asking for, I've found it to not only make me more productive, but also led to my baseline of stress to being way, way lower then everyone around me which is contagious in a positive way.

Nature has no feelings, there will be no retribution, things will work out just fine, it will just be tough for us, maybe even wiped out, but nature will prevail. life will find a way, look at places where humans get excluded, everything regenerates.
It is not a crises of nature, it is a crises of habitat for us as species, and a bunch of other like us.
I think there is also a reality in which our scope of what we care about is widened beyond just the human species. As a species that has such a powerful impact on other beings, it would be nice to try and reduce the amount of unnecessary suffering and pain that we place on them. While we cannot eliminate it, life takes life yadayada, we can reduce it and try to curb the mass extinction that we are actively causing.
From another angle, it's taken a really long time for evolution to get to this point, what can be experienced from the myriad life forms is quite wide and widening, it would be a shame to return to only the level of a microbe.
Must we take everything else down with us?

I’m not sure I want / need an LLM for the handful of basic commands I want Siri to do in the car with no complication. Siri is good at some straightforward command patterns. And that’s how users have been trained.
Adding an LLM feels like a solution looking for a problem
As another mentioned, many of us haven't been trained. Every time I've reached for Siri I've been let down and just did it myself or didn't do it at all.
When I bought the new iphone (coming from Android most recently and iphone before that) I figured that Siri would actually become good because of this translation layer, and then them just not doing that has been a huge let down for me on the phone.

This is awesome, yay for an open source https://getbrick.app/
I'm curious if you have an NFC tag that you'd recommend or that you like to use?
I'm sorry guys but my API key is out of funds until tomorrow's or maybe tuesday's paycheck. I'm only a student and so my money is very limited. I'm sorry this is pathetic. I didn't expect to have so much trafic these last few days, and then with this thread. Come back soon!
What do you think that I implement BYOK (bring your own key), does that interest anyone so that it is never down for them but they have to pay Claude on the side? Is anyone interested?
Definitely implement BYOK - although people may be skeptical because it's not running locally
A side note - put on the site this exact message and then include your venmo or something - I bet you'll get donations :)
I've had this exact idea for quite some time, I'm glad that someone is making it!

I would love to see data on what the impact of more local restaurants, cafes and delis are seeing. As we work from home, we are spending more time in the actual places we live. This but paints one picture, and maybe the reality is that we don't need a sandwich shop on every single block.
When I'm in that scenario, so much to do, so little time, what should I do ahhhh.
I love to ask myself - "What am I resisting?" and then doing that thing. It's the biggest momentum creator that I've found.
It's a highly accurate radar system into the fact that I know what I should be doing, and I just want to cover it over and pretend that I don't as a means of continuing on and amplifying my own exciting melodrama!
Anecdotally, everyone I put onto Arc and the person who put me on still uses it.
I’ve been using Arc for the last two years and was genuinely sad on its discontinuation. I now don’t really know what I’ll do when it goes away.
