    IDEA 
    I had dreams as a kid doing the exact opposite. Loading my local roads into a game, being able to race at high speed in any car on my roads. Haha.

    Fun use case… wanted a quick way to reference various herbal, naturopath, child care, remedy books I have… since all are pretty dense, and not fun to look through when I want to quickly… Made a project in Claude… Uploaded the books as PDF’s all 6. Have it reference those Docs exactly, “Rank”...

    Any recommendations when working long hours and staring at a computer?

    HEALTH 
    I set the color temp of the screen quite warm, also lower the backlight a lot… just random a 1440p or higher display will give less eye strain than a 1080p. Not sure what you have… also I use dark mode on everything I can.

    Kitchen Devices Rental Service

    IDEA 
    Not to hop on the bandwagon but food appliances would be extra tough because you have to sanitize them.. people will never clean them good enough if it’s a rental. My wife doesn’t even like used pots and pans I buy lol.

    How to understand Money Hyperreality on a deeper emotional level?

    MINDSET 
    Don't forget about the "Emotional" connections.. especially when you transition to selling your product. Emotion sells, you use your example, not many people buy a MacBook Pro because of logic, or value.. they buy it because they "Feel" like they are high status, they are unencumbered, they...

    How to understand Money Hyperreality on a deeper emotional level?

    MINDSET 
    Especially when its in a bank it's literal 1's and Zero's.. :playful: "Money" is a very interesting thing, even when talking commodities.. They see a junk pile of old car parts, I see the $$$ it is, to others that honor the perceived value. It is wild. Finding economics so much more fascinating...

    I use Claude heavily now and it drives my main agents for my business… Regarding “Control” I don’t like relying on it as much as I am… So! I started it on a project to replace itself with a local LLM for 90% use cases… and it works! Running Qwen 3.5 4B on my MacBook M3 Air 16gb.. it functions...

    Funny enough I had Chat GPT explain why its own business model is unlikely to "Take over".. "AI has a fundamental economic tension. Compute, hardware, power, and datacenters are expensive, while competition pushes AI toward cheaper subscriptions and eventually commodity pricing. AI can justify...

    The Anthropic Researcher Who Quit Over AI Fears Isn’t the Only One Sounding Alarm Bells: ‘Things Could Be Out of Control Next Year’

    NEWS 
    As much as I love Sci-Fi movies, and find it hilarious no-one in "Tech" seems to of watched them.. AI will never have human intelligence or sentience.. The Math just doesn't Math, as the kids say. None of these companies are profitable, the data-centers themselves are an insane concept. The Raw...

    Speed wobbles are the scariest thing to ever experience! FYI every bike is different, but sometimes a little throttle stops them, or some rear brake.. either way just “ride them out” don’t fight the wobbles.

    Theoretical vs Real Business Potential - What Can You Really Achieve?

    QUESTION 
    This is a very important thing to teach the young. Do what you’re good at, and get better at it. It’s interesting most self improvement books never talk about the fact that if you want to play guitar, but piano comes naturally.. just get better at piano for example… don’t get me wrong there is...

    Do you share the ideas of projects in the early stage, or is it better to keep it vague?

    MINDSET 
    You actually answered this yourself, scarcity mindset is not telling your idea for fear someone will take it from you.. Abundance mindset is sharing your idea, gaining valuable input, early interest, confirmation, critique, and providing value to others.. You know which is the right move...

    Best AI "system" to rebuild my e-commerce website?

    Claude Code, especially the CLI has been killing it for me for website design. I just upload screenshots of what I dont like and it fixes that without touching anything else.. Plus it can "control" claude extension for chrome.. so it can test things live..

    Same boat as you, except I have a toddler and pregnant wife too for more distractions haha :). I wish I could get my biz stuff done first, or job first. But it doesn’t work like that. I do both at the same time. The split focus was killer for a few weeks but I’ve gotten better, more used to it...

    The odd thing with this AR/ VR tech, is people are not demanding it.. It's very top down.. Meta glasses.. any of them.. gets conspiratorial quick, when you begin to wonder why are these tech CEO's are pushing AR/Surveillance tech if there's not much demand from the buyers..
