guff_se··on Manual: •.,:;…!?·
Interesting how the article does not “delve” into the use of the emdash, considering its own excessive use of it.

” Note: I have not generated the fab package since I have not actually fabricated the board and tested it for functionality. Build this board at your own risk.”

You mean: ”I just asked Fable to one shot this and have no idea if it actually works”?

There’s an awful lot of emdashes in that text.

Great! I’ll just take the link to your article and ask Claude to consider this as it develops my project. Thanks!
guff_se··on Grand Theft Oil Futures: Insider traders keep making a killing at our expense
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.
guff_se··on SpaceX says it has agreement to acquire Cursor for $60B
That’s it. After 2 years with Cursor, I’m switching to Claude only. Fuck Elon.
guff_se··on Ask HN: How do I give back to people helped me when I was young and had nothing?
Do what they did for you to someone else. Then say thank you and tell them about what inspired you to do.
guff_se··on Federal data is disappearing. On Thursday, meet the teams working to rescue it
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.
guff_se··on Ask HN: How do you not take criticism of your work personally?
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.

guff_se··on A Metaverse Without Customers
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.

guff_se··on 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?
