- retreatguru parentAn MCP server called Context7 excels at providing up to date api/library documentation for LLMs.
- How do you use this in your workflow? Please give some examples because it’s not clear to me what this is for.
- It's up there now.
- I'm looking forward to trying this out.
I'd like to try this out: use Claude Code as the interface, setup claude-code-router to connect to Cerebras Qwen3 coder and see 20x speed up. The speed difference might make up for the slightly less intelligence compared to Sonnet or Opus.
I don't see Qwen3 Coder available yet on Open Router https://openrouter.ai/provider/cerebras
- Any advice about using ai to write test cases? For example recording a video while using an app and converting that to test cases. Seems like it should work.
- Been using .guru for 10 years. No problems.
- Reminds me of this book: Dogs that Know When their Owners are Coming Home https://www.sheldrake.org/books-by-rupert-sheldrake/dogs-tha...
- You may want to improve the ui/ux for getting to your chat. It’s very hard to find on your homepage even when looking for it.
- Exactly. I figure they put the mouse charging on the bottom on purpose so that people would not just leave it plugged in. I end up charging my mouse about once every few months so it’s not an issue.
- This kind of investigative journalism is why I subscribe to the New York Times.

Our Values:
Be Human
Show up as you are. Bring your complexity and simplicity, your shadow side and light. Be as true to your struggle as your success. Be vulnerable as you are strong. We celebrate what makes us human - the magic and the mess - because one doesn’t exist without the other.
Kindness
Be kind. Be so kind. To one another and especially to yourself. It’s what a compassionate world feels like.
Openness
Be curious. Be fearless and fun in your curiosity. Be open to new ideas, new experiences, new people. Remain open to the good and the bad, stay with it all.
Truth
Don’t shirk hard stuff. We are real and won’t bullshit you. The reward is great, but the struggle is real. No hashtag.

- I don’t know much about Sam Altman, but the OP listed a bunch of external signals which are just that.
My guess is the Sam has a solid combination of vision, determination, intelligence, realism and connections. Strong determination with all those other positive supports can take you a long way.
Sam also got the timing right: doubling down on AI just as the technology was ripe for it to flourish.

- Potentially, HyperText provides a single user-interface to many large classes of stored information such as reports, notes, data-bases, computer documentation and on-line systems help.
Insightful understatement of the century.
- Why is quitting or finding another job NOT any option?
Can you put effort into questioning that baseline assumption?
- I like how Elon is optimizing for hiring the best talent over keeping technology secret.
- He mentioned that he pulls almost no revenue and reinvests the money he makes into the next video. He started off with a $10k sponsorship - and he just gave it all away to a homeless person. And this cycle just keeps getting bigger. So yes, very much a growth mindset.
- They have been supporting grassroots environmental activists for a very long time. Back in the mid-90s our very small environmental group (6 to 8 people) received gear from Patagonia. It was quite helpful because we were doing non-violent protests in Clayoquot Sound, a temperate rainforest in the coast of British Columbia. They sent us excellent rain jackets, pants, and climbing gear and we were grateful.
- I'm guilty of this. I often watch educational videos or podcasts at around 1.8x. However if I'm watching something entertaining and I start speeding then I know I should just stop watching it.
To be honest I see this whole speed tends to get out of control and my whole life gets speedy.

- We get interchange +0.1% but we are in travel and because of the various card types used (gold, platinum, etc) sometimes it’s just a tiny bit cheaper than 2.9%. For example 2.7%. It all depends on card types people use.
- But at least you can cure it with DMT ;P
- What if the reminders could be more personalized or something that you write to your future self. For example: "Are you scrolling on the couch again amigo?, stop and hang out with your family!"
- This is brilliant and would help just a little bit to bring us back from our global phone addiction. It's a start at least.
- We tried Portal Plus at work to bring our two remote workers closer to the local office but it never really caught on in the office setting. The quality and tech was quite good though. Fb login required of course which was a minor nuisance.
- Thinking straight while making decisions is hard. We have so many biases and bad mental habits.
- “... looking forward to the age just beyond the age of electronics” - a prescient closing comment.
