when it comes to #psychology and #mentalhealth I&#39;ve read a decent number of #books on the topic. I think the best I&#39;ve read are: - David D. Burns&#39; Feeling Good (CBT generally including anxiety, depression) - Sue Johnson&#39;s Hold Me Tight (romantic/marital relationships) - Peter Kramer&#39;s Against Depression (on why depression is not a creative gift or sign of moral incompetence, biological underpinnings) Peter Rutter&#39;s Sex in the Forbidden Zone has a...

The projects functionality in chatgpt shows promise but lacks some basic functionality - e.g. sorting, reordering, nesting. Is anyone aware of code out there to manage / override the projects UI? I&#39;ve done some basic vibe coding but haven&#39;t had great success. Strange to me, but they only show a few projects at a time, you have to paginate through them and the API grunts about auth. I see some projects on github, etc. but I&#39;m not seeing anything focused on projects par...

I&#39;ve been using ClickUp for a few months now...and like every other productivity tool I&#39;ve used over the last number of years it has its pros and cons. It&#39;s got a lot of features but sometimes pretty basic features don&#39;t &quot;just work&quot; - and that makes me unhappy. ๐ For example, right now I have some recurring tasks that will not allow an update to their due date manually. If I set a new date it resets back to the original date. Even more concerni...

this is mainly for me: https://github.com/davidshq/forgetfulme I&#39;ve vibe coded it - expect code quality to reflect this. It&#39;s a browser extension for tracking what one has read. Its kind of Diigo, Memex, etc. but much more limited. I wanted something that I could shove stuff into without having it clutter what I want to save in systems like Diigo, Memex, Raindrop, etc. #vibecoding #browser #extension

At an upcoming conference I&#39;ll be giving a lightning talk to entrepreneurial ecosystem builders on how leadership in companies can work effectively with their technical team. For my fellow techies - I&#39;d love to hear from you the biggest pain points and successful methods you&#39;ve found for working with non-technical leadership. I&#39;d also love to hear from non-techies the same. What are the biggest pain points and what successful methods have you found in working wi...

Found this article quite interesting: https://news.ucsc.edu/2025/09/smart-device-ai-bioelectronics-speed-up-wound-healing/ It&#39;s interesting from an AI perspective because it uses a camera essentially embedded in a bandage to send rapidly collected images of a wound (continued over time) to an AI which evaluates the stage of the wound and how it is healing and which then has the device apply appropriate treatments. I was surprised to see that the treatment it applies for anti-inflammato...

Proud of the Python Software Foundation for withdrawing its proposal for grant funding from the Nation Sciences Foundation due to onerous anti-DEI requirements: https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-funding-statement.html #psf #python #nsf #dei

#ChatGPT is killing me a little bit with the way it loads Projects. It doesn&#39;t seem to cache them on the client so every time you try to view your projects it loads them bit by bit...and it&#39;s painful. Is anyone aware of a ChatGPT client that downloads projects and perhaps has other functionality I&#39;d be interested in? ๐ #question #ai #openai
