I used to tell claude ‘lets discuss’ at the end of my prompt and that prevented it from starting the work

I also gave up on my Claude Code subscription. It's running out in 2 weeks and I have canceled it. My current MAX session got rate-limited in 2 hours of work and that's just absurd.

Codex seems to give the $20 plan for free for 1 month and that's what I signed up for.

Let's see how it compares when I can't use my Claude max sub for 3 more hours.

It doesn’t seem to work anymore, it’s stuck in the same set of text

Nice - that looks useful.

Would it be possible to:

- do "horizontal" swiping gesture to go to next/previous summarized article? Kind of like instagram stories

- keep the link to original article as I scroll through the summary so I can quickly navigate to full article if the summary is interesting?

So it's because they want to be more like ChatGPT instead of being more Claude Code. I guess that makes sense - bigger market

I never looked into hearing aids - would the interchangeability affect weight ?

It came up recently in local news. I wonder how they force that for earphones...

Nice, I can see the appeal having familiar UI on Mac.

Even though I am not your target audience (linux i3 user myself), I would be interested in knowing how much "hacking" the macOS system is required to do this. Is it hard to get a list of running apps for your Task Bar? Is it hard to list the apps for the menu? How about keeping it all "on top" while other windows e.g. get maximized/minimized/full-screen, etc?

How is that done ?

What's the logic behind returning anything but -1 (not found) ?

Given "asdf".indexOf("a") is 0

Then "asdf"[0] is "a"

Given "".indexOf("") is 0

Then ""[0] is "" (which it's not in any language I know of)

They also disallow updates to MV2 extensions in January, which effectively kills them off: "Chrome Web Store stops accepting updates to existing Manifest V2 extensions"

More importantly deadline is still January 2023: "Chrome Web Store stops accepting updates to existing Manifest V2 extensions"
