Great! I’ll just take the link to your article and ask Claude to consider this as it develops my project. Thanks!

Let me guess, these guys said something bad about Trump? Not that it means that they didn’t do it, just that they would not have gotten charged otherwise.

All that work for the sake of a pun. I love geeks.

That’s it. After 2 years with Cursor, I’m switching to Claude only. Fuck Elon.

Do what they did for you to someone else. Then say thank you and tell them about what inspired you to do.

This is of course a deliberate move. By actively destroying ideas and work you don’t agree with, rather than archiving it, you make it harder for the other side to realize their vision. It’s a kind of scorched earth strategy.

This is not an objection against saving hosting costs, it is the fact that the original data is not saved or backed up. To understand our future we need to know our past. Saving shelf space in the library is not a good justification to burn our history books. If you don’t like having them up, you can put them in the basement. Storage costs hardly anything.

To me it has been immensely helpful to work with my own projections. As I've realised how much of my own inner world I project onto others, I've become more forgiving and unaffected by other people's projecting onto me.

There are many types of therapy that works with projections: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection

Personally, i've done the work through ManKind Project, a non-profit for men's work.

Just because you’ve launched a massively successful NFT drop, with tons of investors throwing money at you, it does not mean you have found a single person who actually wants to play your game.

A Metaverse built investor-first will be a ghost town.

New comment by guff_se in "Ask HN: Is the EULA on my new $30k RED cinema camera legal?"

Am I the only one reading this differently? “including but not limited to information about your [RED Camera, Camera Module, computer, system and application software, usage, content, and peripherals].” As in: information about content, not actual content.

I mean, yes, metadata is bad enough and it’s still an awful license, but I really don’t agree this suggests RED would be “capturing frames from their commissioned videos and transmitting them behind the scenes to advertisers.”

Am I the only one reading it this way?
