<p>I use cursor (through a work subscription), only the cli (<a href="https://cursor.com/cli" rel="nofollow">https://cursor.com/cli</a>), and mostly using Composer 2.5, but I freely change the model when the need arises.<p>Most comments here seem to think there is no command line client? I have never used the editor.<p>For my personal projects, I use a heavily modified pi. I also have access to a claude code account through work (bedrock), but I don't use it much. It always seems to be down.<p>The cursor cli (`agent`) is fine.</p>

<p>I've made 3 that use pi as the primary interaction, with custom tools and scripts.<p>1. family tree based on wikitree format. Transcribe records, verify/edit, then incorporate them into the tree with full citations and biographies. This one is the big one. It includes a tree browser and best genealogical practices.<p>2. Pool Math replacement. Log pool chemistry tests to markdown files and suggest the right amount of chemicals to balance.<p>3. Calorie counter. Log calories to a markdown file, look up foods and amounts in online databases, sync with garmin connect for exercise calories.<p>All of these are written with AI but also are interacting with pi and telegram, mostly using deepseek v4 flash.</p>

<p>WSL is fine for some purposes. It just never got better.<p>I just wiped my 4-year install on my work thinkpad for direct Linux after wrestling with WSL2 which broke in numerous ways in every update:<p>- WSLg is a pile of crap, and it feels like no development was done on it after it was initially released. It is so easy to crash the display server. It still does not resume from sleep reliably. Anything that quickly opens windows or does any sort of automation (like selenium/cypress tests) are prone to breakage.<p>- Networking works until it doesn't. Sometimes updates break DNS. Sometimes the bridged networking just fails.<p>The second problem here is why I finally threw in the towel. I could not get networking working reliably in the VM after a routine Windows update. Everything feels completely hacked together.</p>

<p>I like maintaining a work/clean profile and a personal one. It is very annoying to mix histories when something like screensharing happens are you do not want to advertise what sort of messageboards or forums you post on.</p>

I usually just open the browser and then go to the aforementioned bookmark and open the other profile.<p>I use different colorways to differentiate the windows between the two profiles.<p>There may be addons that alleviate a few of the pain-points with Firefox profiles. I have not tried to find any.</p>

<p>> We normally coach people to eat 1 g of protein per pound of lean muscle mass. So for 150 pound person that would be 150 g of protein per day or approximately 600 cal from protein.<p>"Lean muscle mass" excludes the fat on the body, right? A 150lb person should have less than 150lb of lean muscle mass.<p>USDA recommends 54g using their calculator. Don't forget the 38 grams of fiber! :)</p>

<p>Yes, there's not a lot of variety in just eating potatoes. Maybe some people don't need variety.<p>People lose a lot of weight this way. Insulin sensitivity increases. Insulin-lowering medicines can be reduced or stopped. Bad cholesterol drops to the floor.<p>If you go beyond monomeals of potatoes and add in tasty vegetables (like you do in keto) and limit the fat you add to the meal, you will have all the benefits of the potato diet without the mind-numbing boredom.<p>Variety in the keto approach? There are only so many ways to dress up chicken/beef/pork and cheese.</p>

<p>Potatoes have protein and fats. Enough protein and fats for fat-soluble vitamins and preventing dying of protein malnutrition. Potatoes are not just carbs.<p>No libido? I'd like to see the source of that claim.<p>The western world has become "addicted" to protein and the claims on how much is necessary and recommended are extremely exaggerated.</p>

<p>Calorie density is not something made up. You are redefining a very well-known term. Many legumes, grains, and root vegetables are made up of copious amounts of water in their prepared form.<p>Calorie density is also not the only metric for recommendation. Everyone agrees that liquid calories are not "felt" by the body in the same way as solid foods.</p>

<p>Do you really believe that the obesity epidemic was caused by people eating 90% carbohydrate diets?<p>The "high carb meals" at McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut... are all also (and more per calorie) high in fat.<p>Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to your mixed-green salad? That has turned into a high fat salad. Most people cannot avoid cheese or nuts on salad, either.<p>Eating the potato diet with sour cream/butter/cheese: High fat.</p>

<p>Not quite related to airpods, but is Apple's Bluetooth stack awful?<p>I got three pairs of iClever BTH-02s and they all connect fine to our hand-me-down LG android phones, but they fail to connect to a brand new (but low end model) iPad. It says they connect, but the upper left corner does not show the headset icon and the sound goes through the external speakers.<p>It's awful.</p>
