Thanks, I was unaware of that. After some research, though, it seems screen capturing by Claude Code is something you need to activate yourself. >How much time do you spend explaining the context to your Claude? Or writing detailed promp

Sure! For one, even taking the ethos of local-only as something bulletproof, I can't think of a pro that would outweigh the con of recording everything I do. Part of that might be my lack of imagination, as I'm not a heavy user of

Yeah, crazy that a landing page exhausts the resources of my 2019 CPU. Mouse movement tells me it runs at like 5FPS.

High growth scenario and medium growth scenario (Graph 2). I feel like an idiot asking - aren't we missing some, or at least one, scenario? Is "medium growth" for the next 4 years really the worst people can think of?

I think those are just the loud minority. I wouldn't be surprised if they're like 20-30% if a poll were made here

That's kind of like the joke about MAID solving the Canadian healthcare problems: I've heard you're ill; have you considered dying?
