   are you using the same prompt the above commenter used? I've been toying around with increasingly ridiculous prompts and it works surprisingly well. It's the new ChatGPT image gen or Nano Banana? It's pretty good tbh, even wi

   What kind of side projects do you need to run these models for that many hours? I haven't experimented with Opus to that extent and mostly supervise it and/or am prompting it every 5-10min to fix something up.

   I'm curious, have you developed your own reasoning system for how Claude can predict the stock market? Or have you trained it on past data combined with news sources?

    As a fan of pictograms in general and very much a visual learner, I don't mind Tahoe icons or menu icons in general. By default I look to those first and then the text, it works for me. That said, Apple's Liquid Glass is really po

    My personal POV is that I've been coding from scratch when coding for creativity. It has been wildly refreshing to go back to handwriting some cool little HTML/CSS/jQuery(sometimes) static websites. From a professional &amp

    I am unfamiliar with the differences between these two at all, as someone who uses audio plugins but does not develop with them. What are the main differences and why is OP claiming that there are far better methods of doing so?

    I am the same. I am searching for a career or job that will reward people like us. There is value in having a breadth of experience, knowledge, and network, but it seems harder to pitch yourself this way.

    What tech stack would you recommend if I wanted to pursue this path? I know React + Node.js but I'm not sure if there might be some frameworks that might be helpful to know. A bit new to the realm.
