FuturisticLover··on I gave Opus 5.5 one prompt and six hours to visualize Invisible Cities
I opened it because I had no idea what Invisible Cities meant here. I thought they might be some real cities that don't come up on maps.

The website gives you a good hint before opening up the visuals. So, I got an idea.

I don't really know about Marco Polo. My only knowledge comes from the Netflix series, which doesn't talk about these invisible cities.

FuturisticLover··on iPhone Duo
Apple has a fairly good market in Asia, too. It's just that competition is quite high in Asia compared to America.

Can I use this tool without the Anthropic API? I'm thinking of hosting it locally and running it through the CLI instead of connecting to the API.

I have a Claude Pro account.

FuturisticLover··on A 25-year-old video patent just expired, ending a legal headache for Linux
Siemens holding one of the key patents in video codecs surprises me. I am not technically savvy, but I thought telecom infrastructure or direct media companies would hold the most important patents on this.

FuturisticLover··on The Holy Roman Empire was dissolved 220 years ago today
I am not sure about the Eastern Roman Empire. But I thought the Roman Empire ended with the fall of Constantinople.
FuturisticLover··on Show HN: Validate your idea, know what to charge, and how to get first users
I have used multiple idea validation tools in the past. Most of them are not really good, especially the free ones. Some tools only have paid plans, so I didn't use them.

But to really check how good they are, I use the idea of a failed startup.

I used Fast's idea of one-click checkouts in another idea validator tool, and the tool gave it a really high score, which is not a good sign.

Did the same here, and it gave a score of 38/100 and tagged it a high-risk business, which is a good sign.

And to my surprise, the tool also mentioned Fast as a failed startup, so I think your tool is good.

Bad thing is I can only try one idea in the free tier.

FuturisticLover··on The Holy Roman Empire was dissolved 220 years ago today

FuturisticLover··on There Will Come Soft Rains (1950) [pdf]

FuturisticLover··on Why can't India's government build a decent website?
This is so very inaccurate. Sure, not all websites are good, but the main ones are pretty good. For example, the Income tax website is much faster, more responsive, and has a better UI/UX.

Same with digilocker.

FuturisticLover··on A Rave Review of Superpowers (For Claude Code)

FuturisticLover··on Proof of Corn
I am not sure how it different than what we do with llms on daily basis.

We feed it the information as a context to help us make a plan or strategy to achieve or get something.

They are also doing the same. They will be feeding the sensor, weather and other info, so claude can give them plan to execute.

Ultimately, they need to execute everything.

FuturisticLover··on How AI destroys institutions
"Isolating people from each other"

I can see this happening. Earlier, more people worked in groups because they relied on their expertise.

Now, there is no need for this; people can do it alone. Even though this makes the work done, it comes at the cost of isolation.

I am sure for some people this would look like a win.

I guess that makes sense. My tiny brain is still processing all the information. Thinking beyond 3D or space/time is impossible for me.
FuturisticLover··on CIA Star Gate Project: An Overview (1993) [pdf]
Yeah, Remote Viewing should be a real-time event. This is Precognition.
FuturisticLover··on CIA Star Gate Project: An Overview (1993) [pdf]

Reality is indeed stranger than fiction.
