This is one of the most helpful things I’ve listened to on parenting. The discussion about setting boundaries and helping kids process their emotions was really useful. Not even just for dealing with kids.

I found this video pretty helpful in understanding why agentic AI is so much more useful than just one-off prompts. It starts with some other stuff but the second two thirds of the video is all about agents.

I’ve tried using Goose for a few tasks, but any time I ask it to do some significant work like read a pdf or write some code I get a TPM rate limit error. I’ve tried OpenAI models (4o-mini has the highest TPM limit) and Claude Sonnet. Is there some workaround for this?

I’ve been using the Bartender app on Mac to hide some menubar items for years. It’s all more the necessary these days on the MacbookPros with the notch in the top that just makes some of your menubar inaccessible if you have too many items. I just tried this open source GPL-licensed alternative and it seems to be working fine!

Here’s my latest 3d print - a hanger for my headphones on the back of my desk. It keeps them tucked out of sight but I can still lean forward and grab them when I need to. I think I need to adjust the design to make the headphones sit a little higher because right now the rubber piece where the cord comes out of the bottom is bending as the weight of the headphones presses down on them. I have been getting by in TinkerCad but it might be time for me to learn how to use a real 3D modeling tool. Any recommendations on resources/videos for that?

I’ve been on a bit of a break from Nostr for the last few months. We’ve been very busy at nos.social so it fell off my work checklist and personally I just haven’t had any interest/energy for microblogging lately. But I’m feeling ready to jump back in. I have to say one of the more exciting tech things for me recently has been AI actually getting really useful for development work. Between Cursor and Warp I’m saving a lot of time on simple and medium-complexity tasks. It helps that I’ve been experimenting with a lot of unfamiliar tech.

@hzrd149 is it possible to add accounts to a list in Nostrudel? I was able to create a list but I can’t find a button to add people.

@elsat did you lose your follow list? We just had a team meeting to talk about two of our employees who lost their lists around Nostriga and noticed yours. We are cooking some things which you will hear about soon but in the meantime I learned about

which seems to work well for recovery.
