Apple has a fairly good market in Asia, too. It's just that competition is quite high in Asia compared to America.

Can I use this tool without the Anthropic API? I'm thinking of hosting it locally and running it through the CLI instead of connecting to the API.

I have a Claude Pro account.

Siemens holding one of the key patents in video codecs surprises me. I am not technically savvy, but I thought telecom infrastructure or direct media companies would hold the most important patents on this.

I am not sure about the Eastern Roman Empire. But I thought the Roman Empire ended with the fall of Constantinople.

I have used multiple idea validation tools in the past. Most of them are not really good, especially the free ones. Some tools only have paid plans, so I didn't use them.

But to really check how good they are, I use the idea of a failed startup.

I used Fast's idea of one-click checkouts in another idea validator tool, and the tool gave it a really high score, which is not a good sign.

Did the same here, and it gave a score of 38/100 and tagged it a high-risk business, which is a good sign.

And to my surprise, the tool also mentioned Fast as a failed startup, so I think your tool is good.

Bad thing is I can only try one idea in the free tier.

Only 220 years ago? I thought it was close to 500 to 600 years.

FuturisticLover — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 09:34:33 +0000

This is so very inaccurate. Sure, not all websites are good, but the main ones are pretty good. For example, the Income tax website is much faster, more responsive, and has a better UI/UX.

Same with digilocker.

Is Superpowers skill only for coding? Can I use it to plan other stuff, like to create sales or marketing strategy?

I am not sure how it different than what we do with llms on daily basis.

We feed it the information as a context to help us make a plan or strategy to achieve or get something.

They are also doing the same. They will be feeding the sensor, weather and other info, so claude can give them plan to execute.

Ultimately, they need to execute everything.

"Isolating people from each other"

I can see this happening. Earlier, more people worked in groups because they relied on their expertise.

Now, there is no need for this; people can do it alone. Even though this makes the work done, it comes at the cost of isolation.

I am sure for some people this would look like a win.
