You can make a script for the PreToolUse hook that can do that. I use a command gate script that parses input for doing that exactly, allowing/denying actions based on tool use + paths -- it started out as a hook to prevent claude from polluting my clojure projects/filesystem with python in sneaky ways. Babashka works really well here
Musk got a lot of favors and basically his way with the out going power holders, its why he spent so much so the party wouldn't end.
One I was just reading about (while looking for Hinojosa's first plans, cleaning up the education department); was there was a quiet deal being worked on for spaceX to buy a beachfront state park [0] and that she remarked about Texas no longer being for sale.
I wouldnt be surprised if all the investigations into his companies deals happen. The attorney general got ousted for a democrat too who already said there will be a massive overhaul to how the office is used -- no more being maga's private law firm. Lets hope Musk and his companies did everything above board when working the massively corrupt outgoing gang.

I don't think Musk was even relevant in that it being Musk specifically.
In the post election analyses only a few stories are looking at how it was done. People didnt simply go to the polls and blindly vote Democrat. Look at the candidates and the platform they ran on, they all sidestepped culture war distractions, they didnt lean into divisiveness or the childish name calling -- no one wants to listen to that shit anymore. Even the victory speeches in Texas were about Texas and working for Texans. Same for the guy in Kansa and the ones in Iowa. They got back to real interaction with real people in the real world.
Oh and ICE killing a US citizen in south texas and covering it up for a year, then killing a Mexican citizen (who was in the process of immigrating) and then wildly lying about it -- among other things like raiding US citizen small businesses because the owners look Mexican -- doesn't win a lot of votes for the party doing it. They woke up the non-voting US citizen latino/hispanic population in Texas and other places.
This is where things might be interesting though. There are 19 republican senate seats up in 2028, some in states that already flipped or almost flipped.
Do they keep kowtowing to Trump after this or do they try and save their seat through bipartisanship. I dont think they will be as afraid of Trumps' maga party trying to primary them as they would to being the reason their state flips. That did not work out too well for republicans in Texas. Now they may lose Mississippi... Mississippi. If that doesnt wake them up to do their job they deserve to be replaced.
That doesn't explain data center's being explicitly rejected by local voters[0] who, in many of those places, also voted for their districts candidates that supported data centers, such as in FL and OH.
The data centers got rejected on their own basis [0]. While the Texas senator race was more about corruption and a picking a candidate that embodies Texas far more than his Trump hand picked opponent -- the Texas governor race is a clear message vote for data center restriction.
Melania is not a natural born US citizen so that would be impossible
Sure if you just read headlines, but if you read what has happened so far you would see where it is on topic. Texas flipping not just a senate seat but the governor office as well in a state that Musk has spent millions trying to prevent the flip. It affects some of the bigger topics on this site. SpaceX, Tesla, and data centers (which the texas flip just caused AI stocks to fall) https://www.cnbc.com/2026/11/04/ai-stocks-texas-governor-dat...
When it's "fantasy" the experience of reward "sucks out the energy and drive".
I'm referring to there being a difference between fantasy/daydream and mental visualization as the deliberate construction of detailed mental imagery of a desired performance or outcome [0] When you do it while lost in fantasy it's not deliberate, but when it's an intentional process it becomes beneficial.
The brain having a hard time telling the difference between real and imagined is neutral, the how and intention behind that imagined activation tells if the outcome is positive or depleting

There should be made a distinction between daydream and visualization. Visualization in sports psychology is a very common technique that is widely used by athletes (amateur to top tier). I had also read about visualization/imagery having positive effects on motor recovery and performance.
Social contagion [0] (not to be confused for memetics [1]) involves behaviour, emotions, or conditions spreading spontaneously through a group or network. [...] Throughout history all social contagions have had a single thing in common: the people who follow them genuinely believe their group is only doing positive effects, and cannot rationalize negative effects from within their group.
Tech executives are a group (and a network), its not some "regression to the mean" its common human social behaviour within group dynamics. It's not just those two there has been a progressive slide of executives joining the 'tech-bro' subgroup.
The study below suggest otherwise (for running, which I learned about in a different HN post, I'll defer on the swimming bit that I have no idea of or thoughts about)
"[...] women become faster than men at the most extreme distances over 195 miles long."[0]
I forget which talk it is, but there is one (or more) where he goes into how we modeling the world/data in OOP and his annoyance with confusing identity, value, and state; bundling them up into mutating objects instead of having a stable identifier(label) that has an immutable fact or facts(values) at a point in time(state). And how objects act on each other instead of function working on data. I felt like someone reached into my head and said everything I was thinking in a way I was never able to express or formulate and then instead of just bitching about it he created a solution. I was sold, hook line and sinker.
It all just clicked for me, even reading clojure code (writing at first was another story) came easier than trying to follow some javascript. Maybe it was because I already had years of programming experience, but I knew nothing of Functional Programming, was skeptical of this immutable data bit but really wanted it to be real, and had never seen a Lisp before or knew anything about it (I got hired programming out of high school) -- but it all just made sense and was basically a come-to-Jesus moment that I dove into and it drastically improved my understanding of systems, architecture, data, and the like.
Texas use to have straight ticket voting so people would just show up hit Democrat or Republican and be done, still had low turn out though.
My guess is that people that arent extremely motivated to get to the polls here don't bother now. Paxton is a highly polarizing guy, if it was still Cornyn I wouldnt even bother with checking results on election night like I will this time. From my own experience I prefer that people only vote the races they know and care about; I stoped straight ticket voting when I realized I didnt know anything about the judges (or that there were even judges on the ballot) that button put my vote on and that didnt sit right.
Early voting already has long lines in a state that barely votes. Probably more Paxton/Talarico than the governor race though.
And may be or could be part of the solution by them taking upon themself to implement it in an ethical manner by having the bots and scrapers respect robots.txt; unless the spec specifically says not to in that case I agree with finding new clients or another job
I think thats the crux of it, most people respond positively when others are interested in them. As long as its genuine, asking about, or be interested in, others goes a really long way.
Not OP, but wanted add for myself it did.
I took the CBT approach. First to change how I thought about things (as a skill to practice) and then that allowed me to do a form of exposure therapy. Mostly finding something small to start with, a single relevant question or comment that is genuine. Saying something nice to someone, like a stressed out cashier at the grocery store goes a long way, or commenting on something like someone reading the packaging of a item and you know it and can give a brief review.
I didn't start trying to have deep conversations or expectations of ever seeing that person again. Only simple interaction for social skill improvement and over time this small talk started to come more naturally. Then that snowball into this lighter feeling around people (so anything would have been perceived as rejection before became not personal and moved on) and that, in gaming terms, was a level-up to more meaningful interaction, then another level-up and another etc. This is a decades long practice that is still going. Like many skills some pick up faster than others.
>If human - the sub-contractor isn't a tool, if robot - it is.
This is a miscategorization to me.
A hammer is a tool, a carpentry sub-contractor is a system that uses tools -- whether the sub-contractor involves humans or robots doesnt matter here.
Once I figured out that this was a skill and not just something people that are not me are born with, it made things a lot easier. Went from making up all kinds of stories in my head about myself and others to thinking about each interaction as practice and realized lot more people were like me, thinking I'll be invited somewhere or talked to if I was liked or was interesting enough; waiting for someone else to do the inviting or talking first. I just remind myself that a lot of others also want to be invited or talked to, and that reminder greatly reduced my fear of rejection.
The average human may no longer desire or have a need to hunt animals for food. But re-introduce that need and they will do fine. Kids and adults continue to be able to pick up fishing for the first time as well as handling a .30-30 or 20-gauge.
None of the software I have ever written contained bugs or security flaws.
But, sometimes misalignments can occur.
They did "discover" them afterwards though; goal achieved. You don't hack other companies, report yourself doing it, and then blame it on being ignorant of what you were doing -- that makes you look far too incompetent and should never be allowed online again.
But, set up some bots that hack other companies, pretend to not be looking, and once someone reports it (and funny enough, they will all pour in at once...) you get to imply that you are a high IQ genius that created a "super" Intelligent genie in a computer. Now people are paying attention that have no understanding of any of it and didnt care what this ai thing was about and didnt care to use it. But new eyes are looking so turn the drama to 10. Feign concern over this `misalignment` struggle, a real Goliath tug-o-war. But fear not you will bend this magical mighty beast into `alignment`, there will be no escaping the computer and materializing into an omnipotent great ape pony that will destroy us all on your watch. No siree, Bob. Grab the popcorn. And maybe new subscriptions.
There was a whole to-do with Richard III and finding a "non/false-paternity event" occurred. The genealogy tracing in that case though is impressive.
So, theory is a common term used. Established theory because the family is included in 3-4 books written from the late 19th and 20th century covering large swaths of the related families and areas/interactions/movements etc.
Once you start getting back that far in time the people who trace genealogy for money and writing books, tend to be more through and understand the quirkier nuances that can tease apart families that your typical internet sleuthing researcher (me for example) can miss/conflate.
I don't have any examples to offer; but you may be missing your calling in Marketing
