dznodeson Claude is only available to people over 18 years

"We have safety systems in place to detect if people under 18 may be using Claude and we’ll disable accounts based on indicators of minor activity. "... so how is Musk supposed to make vulgar memes with Claude? Wouldn't it get flagged as teenage humor?

Please explain what is useful about this repo to me as if I were a high school dropout. Is this like claude.ai but running on my own hardware? Does it need to be on the internet to be useful? Do I need CS skills to install and use it?

dznodeson Ask HN: How can we solve the loneliness epidemic?

We need weekly activity plans to introduce multi-racial, multi-age, multi-political people to each other in palaces for the people venues.

Read the book 'Palaces for the People'... Invest Billions in social infrastructure... and run the country like it was a retirement community. Everyone is welcome, everyone has value and we need to learn (with practice) how to love each other again.

I have over 10 years of technology project management experience. During that time I have co-founded and managed two non-profit makerspaces and successfully grown each into a thriving and lasting enterprise. Each of these organizations consisted of technically proficient members, mostly engineers. I was responsible for conflict resolution and diplomacy in order to keep dozens of members content with project strategies and objectives.

I have organized 3 years of Startup Weekend competitions with over 100 technology entrepreneurs purchasing tickets for each event. Our leadership team consisted of highly skilled and experienced technology professionals. I managed the events and the leadership teams for each event from start to finish. I raised the funds for producing each event (over $15k), and coordinated graphic design assets and marketing strategy, managed event venue sourcing and contracts, recruited angel/VC investors for judging, and much more.

I founded and organized the Google Developer Group for Charleston for 3 years. This was a team of software developers and we met on a monthly basis to share presentations, software development skills, and to collaborate on software projects.

More recently in my consulting business I have provided product development consulting services to over 20 unique clients. My last consulting project was funded by the Dept. of Homeland Security via a $500K grant for mitigation of coastal flooding. Our three person team developed a custom web-app in a 6 month sprint. On that project I was responsible for all of the UX design. I also managed all of the useability testing and designed assets for a 20 person focus group event.

dznodeson NovelWriter 1.0 – A markdown-like editor for writing novels

I went to the documentation to SEE the software's User Interface. (i.e. what does it look like to use this software?) But sadly, like many open source projects they don't make the UI easy to see in the documentation or github pages. It's like they require to you install it before showing you how it works???
