Strongly agree with this. I’ve been using Apple’s “mood” log for about two years now, and it is extremely helpful for me to have a concrete view of the history of my general affect.

“This entire month I’ve been feeling good, I want to pinpoint why,” or “it’s clear since stressor X entered my life, my affect is lower; how can I resolve this?”

These long term trends are harder for me to track without data. It might be easy for others, but not me!

Agreed. My wife acts as my North Star for knowing whether tech news is in the mainstream. She doesn’t care about tech.

She said yesterday and Friday her instagram was full of people deleting ChatGPT and downloading/paying for Claude.

It’s definitely beyond the tech bubble.

This is great, I found it much more interesting to view this tree vs. the timeline alone.

Claude is so much better for proofing, IMO.

Over the last few years I’ve rotated between OpenAI and Anthropic models on about a 4-5 month cycle. I just started my Anthropic cycle because of my annoyance with the GPT-5.2 verbosity

In four months when opus is annoying me and I forget my grievances with OpenAI’s models and switch back, I’ll report back lol.

I guess it really depends on what Reddit experience you’re referring to as being no better.

Most Reddit user experiences are probably nothing like HN at all. Give r/all a whirl if you think they’re comparable.
