I recently added preheat instructions to the afternoon cron which reminds us about mise-en-place tasks for the evening.

one of the first changes I've made with Cursor after switching from Claude.

the speed of the Grok lineup gives a big boost to my enjoyment while working.

[Jon Cosgrove @jonmcosgrove]

we have pizza every Friday. two days ago we ate suboptimal crust due to a forgotten pre-heat.

never again.

[Jon Cosgrove @jonmcosgrove]

how do you make the perfect pizza crust at home?

have your agent remind you at least 60 minutes ahead of time to pre-heat the stone.

[Jon Cosgrove @jonmcosgrove]

@zanehengsperger Theseus' stone.

I'll leave it in my front yard with some hidden token underneath.

Paid $8k for Launch Series FSD on the new Y when it came out.

I HATE the forced survey after every takeover.

Collect the data. Do not conscript owners to label it for you in order to use their own car.

PLEASE remove this, add a setting, delay until park.

@oregonducksmama My agent does this for my wife and I now. Problem solved.

@theiaincameron Sand marathon!

My wife hates cutting up raw chicken.

She still has to do it sometimes, but Penne, the Hermes menu planning agent I built, is strategic enough to remind us to do it in batches since, remember... you're having chicken again on Thursday.

[Jon Cosgrove @jonmcosgrove]

@waterloo_intern You’ll need to do better than 40 for the WR. I’ve got you beat and I’m sure I don’t have it either.

[Jon Cosgrove @jonmcosgrove]

Edward Tufte would be proud

[juan @juanbuis]

i can’t believe someone solved recipe design decades ago and everyone just decided to ignore it

[Jon Cosgrove @jonmcosgrove]

@juanbuis This is beautiful

[Jon Cosgrove @jonmcosgrove]

The best feature to date in my menu planning agent isn't the menu.

It's the morning text to pull the chicken from the freezer.

Dinner and my diet no longer fall apart at 5:30 pm due to frozen meat.

@typesfast Just need to also include a humanoid to keep it clean and fix the slides when they break

I have my own implementation of karpathy/llm-wiki in every project I do now. They are self evolving with hooks and lint checks so my projects dont drift while I run 10 agents doing different things.

ex: a hook checks the source docs a page lists, if one changed a wiki update gets considered

I find doing this helps me keep agents closer to my high level architecture and goals.

[Jon Cosgrove @jonmcosgrove]

I think most AI apps would be more accurate with less AI.

I use determinism first as a principle and its served me well. AI is only used on what it's good at.

Fuzzy matching + database for 85% of the nutrition in my wife's recipe library. AI only for the long tail of weird stuff.

[Jon Cosgrove @jonmcosgrove]

There are a ton of data on branded foods too if you want to get specific.

[Jon Cosgrove @jonmcosgrove]

The USDA gives away nutrition data on basically every food for free, but you have to know how to refer to them.

1/2 cup coconut milk, canned?

That's actually Nuts, coconut milk, canned (liquid expressed from grated meat and water)

20 Oreo cookies, finely crushed? wrong

You're looking for Cookies, chocolate sandwich, with creme filling, regular.

I built a FUZZY matcher for my wife's recipes to get all the nutrition data that gets 85% of foods, but for the remainder I use AI to help.
