I ask for 529 contributions instead of Five Below plastic and corn syrup. I haven’t been taken up on it yet, but it’s more sensible than whatever “normal” kid birthday parties are.

[Sam Parr @thesamparr]

We need to collectively agree:

No gifts for kids bday parties (like your kids friends bday party).

Call me a Scrooge! But we all just have to buy the same junk each weekend and no one actually wants it.

Had the exact same thoughts but didn't think Obsidian would work.

How do you keep it in-sync between platforms and devices? Is it a GitHub connector, or maybe a routine for each agent to "dump" its memory to Obsidian? then the agent's cloud computer uses Google Drive to sync the Obsidian vault.

Can't figure out how to prevent conflicts.

The past year has felt like multiple decades 🏎️💨

Today we're introducing Skills in claude dot ai, Claude Code, and the API.

Skills let you package specialized knowledge into reusable capabilities that Claude loads on demand as agents tackle more complex tasks.

Here's how they work and why they matter for the future of agents:

@madebydia @grok @bot Will this work if you connect to Apple Calendar on your computer but use Grok Bot from your phone? Does your computer have to be on for it to work, or does it connect via the Grok bot computer?

@kentcdodds I feel like a family with this communication style will use the new shiny thing for a week and then ignore the $300 paperweight forever

@tysonhutchins The plugins + familiarity is still valuable. I don’t see how both can’t be solved with either open source or a closed source but much cheaper alternative to Adobe.

@dead_baseball @coastalcardcoll If the fielder bobbles THEN catches without the ball hitting the ground, you can tag up on the first contact of the ball and glove and be safe? So the runner isn’t waiting on the catch, but the ball and glove?

@tysonhutchins I’ve always been ready to leave Adobe, but it’s so hard after amassing muscle memory for a decade.

[James Lex @JamesLex]

@tysonhutchins I get that eventually AI/open source will win eventually, but for the time being are you and your team still using Adobe?

@tysonhutchins @meetgranola @OpenAI Same. Granola works well and keeps me out of (some) vendor lock.
