I only bought Nvidia once in like 2001
but I've got 400+ shares

I forgot I'd even bought it until like 7 or 8 years ago when I opened an old account and spit coffee across the room

mind if I ask how much you had/have? I was fortunate to escape my years at state with no debt but took on about 70k with punchmonk, the last of which didn't get paid off until a few years ago (was hoping the last couple k would get taken care of by the biden loan forgiveness whatnot but it was not meant to be).

Everything made sense until here. A) how does it know how to prioritize your todos across days and b)if todos go on daily notes, or even a subpage, how would todos be differentiated between just random thoughts?

This is what I meant earlier. Technically he never mentioned tokens, but still sounds like he was using AI to make something and it cost him 50 cents

Quote :
"I think I’ve spent under fifty cents since I started screwing with it.

Originally the idea was to see if I could using embedding models detect similarity, then it evolved to generate a political compass. For that type of task I saw a few research papers doing similar things that said 50 samples was a good point to stabilize.

The point is to experiment and learn things not classify your dumb opinions."

token is part of the cryptocurrency vernacular if that's what you mean.

as far as cael's post, that's more in terms of using AI models either via API or tools that use AI APIs (like coding IDEs like cursor, video editing tools like descript, etc). when software developers use AI APIs, you're typically charged by how many tokens are in your request, and how many tokens you get back in the response. if you're just using chatgpt you don't really end up seeing all the "by the token" metrics, but under the hood that's how all software that uses AI typically works.

"was she a christian first?"


we were raised in a new england catholic environment. we stopped going to church mid 90s though, and none of it had really stuck for either of us anyways. I'm still not entirely sure why she felt drawn to judaism. for a long time it didn't even register with me that that's what she was doing, i mostly just had a vague recollection that she didn't eat bacon anymore. but she was always a fussy eater anyways so I didn't think much of it. once i moved back to NC and started to hang out with her more again i started to realize that she was fr about it.


i do the paid rescuetime plan. aside from the value i get from the product itself, they send out survey requests a couple times a year and give you a $25 amazon gift card so it almost pays for itself.

blackfriday deal going on now. comes to 50.40 for the year. Can't decide whether to do it. I suspect I won't use it much if at all

do you do the one with timesheets?

there's always the DIY approach.


i don't do the timesheets. that is a relatively new feature and i'd already gotten used to a particular workflow of using the product. that said, i am building something similar in one of my own projects (which will probably ultimately replace my rescuetime subscription)

What is your opinion on saying something like "i hope that person gets what's coming to them"?

I ask because I thought about asking "do you think he will ever get what is coming to him" next....but i hate going down that path, thinking so negatively, etc

camp. i'm sure there may be rare exceptions that can be found in my digital footprint but i generally try to avoid thinking or talking that way about people. if i ever find myself getting so worked up about somebody that i wish them harm/death, that's just not a particularly comfortable mental space for me to be in and i reflexively pump the brakes. although, if somebody did something to my kids I can see myself smashing somebody's skull with no qualms.

if "what's coming to them" means they are tried and convicted in a court of law for crimes they've committed, then yes i'm pretty enthusiastic about that

i use both windows and mac but for windows:

win+s for screenshots
windows+tab to show the Task View + virtual desktops
windows+H for window voice typing or windows+ctrl+space for wisprflow
my logitech keyboard has a useless calculator app key on it and I remap it to open chatgpt voice. i also remap the scroll lock key to open Obsidian.
alt+space for raycast
