I don’t think this is a bad music problems

I avoid using AI as a direct translation tool, but its super useful for me to translate complex english ideas to vietnamese.

I kinda view myself as a wheelchair user. I'm bad at walking so I use at wheelchair so I can at least have a semblance of decent communication. I don't think my ideas are not worth sharing, but I'm just bad at writing them in an engaging way.

The scarier thing for me is coding. I am good at coding. But I don't even read a single line of code any more.

I can either edit down my rambling by hand (costs about 10-30min depending on the length) or I can ask chatGPT for assistance, where I manually edit chatgpt's edits for factual correctness and tone.

Like, besides the lease risk, I think 30 to 50% of the business is going to end the moment the owner stops showing up and the motorbikes are gone. Either, I think it was Roger mentioned or you mentioned the Google reviews all mentioned that people go to the bar because it attracts other motorcycle people. And, you know, we don't have an existing, like, network to come in and grow this. And so we might see a 30 to 50% decline in revenue within a month or two with nothing ready to, like, backfill that with. And if our main goal is to make a private club or event space, ideally, I'd like to have some, like, something substantial to, like, commit to that spot. Like, right now, we're three fucking dudes with, you know, a little bit of a vision, but not really. And, you know, we're buying what will be a failing bar unless we, you know, figure out how to run events or use that backspace.

Polished version:

Separate from the lease risk, I think there is a real chance that 30–50% of the business disappears once the current owner stops showing up and the motorbikes are gone.

Either Roger mentioned this, or we discussed it separately, but the Google reviews seem to reinforce the same point: a meaningful part of the bar’s appeal is that it attracts motorcycle people. We do not currently have an existing network or community that can step in and replace that traffic.

That means we could see a 30–50% revenue decline within the first month or two, with no clear plan in place to backfill it. If the main goal is to turn the space into a private club or event venue, I would feel much better if we had something substantial already committed to that location.

Right now, we are three guys with a loose vision, but not much concrete traction. Without a clearer plan for events, memberships, or activating the back space, we may effectively be buying a bar that starts failing the moment the current identity and customer base disappear.

My current flow is: Google Eloquent to capture 127WPM (my typing is best case is 65wpm). This lets me get the thoughts out without thinking too much about structure or flow, the same way I would brain-dump type it.

Next I use AI to compress, summarize, and restructure to create a clear coherent message for my peer to read (which is way faster for them).

When communicating with AI, its the same thing, except I skip the second step since AI does a good job at understanding my ramblings.

It drives me crazy that some cultures only send voice messages to each other. It drives me crazy they can't be respectful of my time and use STT+AI to convert their 90 second monologue to a few written sentences.

roaches need to come from somewhere. Even if your apartment is spotless, someone else in the building might not be...

If your best self is someone that doesn't drink, why did you spend $50 last month on alcohol?

Or if you see yourself as a thoughtful planner, why do you keep going to last minute convenience stores?

The goal is to help the person align their spending with their values.

Tier 1/2 typically has greater access to systems than humans do. They can operate in ways that AI agents just don't have access to, maybe for good reasons.

For example, I lost my debit card while traveling. Only an agent could route the card to my hotel.

The coolest feature I added was a tool to handle passwords under duress.

I'm still working on the Chrome version, but this is the Firefox version:

Even the example apps in the post seemed like AI slop to me. Common markers are too noisy/busy (mainly repeated or rephrased information). Text being a bit too big (Codex-only?).

As I was leaving my last job, I advocated everyone migrate from plain old es6 to typescript, b/c several times broken builds made it to production.

Certainly my coworkers may of felt upset that typescript is too verbose and pointless if everyone reaches for the "any" operator. But that doesn't mean the decision to move to Typescript was bad, it just means the company is "old school" and not willing to take the time to adopt modern workflows...

And then go to each company and bag them to except that this was a fraudulent situation and not me. If they didn’t accept my request, then I would basically be out of luck, owing them the money.

These data leaks are great opportunities for doxing. You can look up all the people that have died from swatters.

I don’t know what prompted to get it away from the base model and any of like the non-standard web design like styles are a little bit too harsh for me if that makes sense. Like for example I like brutalist design, but it just feels heavy sometimes on the apps that I’m making.

I’ve tried to get the AI to describe a style based on the product name or you know it seem that I wanna have for example travel. But then it creates us like steal, amorphic design where everything looks like a boarding pass airplane ticket.

1/ spec driven dev (https://github.com/github/spec-kit)

2/ then degrade to multiple sessions (no worktrees) debugging various problems until its done

On UI Design (MacOS, Web):

1/ AI does a first pass. Try to give it style guidance on my own (colors, style, etc).

2/ Prompt ChatGPT.com with screenshots and ask for recommendations on how to make it better.

3/ Codex the changes (with minor edits)

4/ loop 2-3, ask Gemini for feedback too
