You've got to believe that they're doing this based on market research via the prompts people are entering, both as small businesses and possibly side project hackers not on plans without appropriate IP protection.

My point being, they know they need to make a viable business, and they've clearly seen demand. Meaning there are already a lot of small businesses trying to use Claude to do these things.

Given what they have I wouldn't be surprised if they setup a pipeline of niche toolsets that they can spin up in response to mass user prompting.

Not a pretty future for SaaS and side hustles.

What is the licence on these images? I can't seen anything on the site or in the HTML.

I've been waiting for a new Earth Rise/Set shot (which is thankfully at least 5568x3712px from a NIKON D5).

You may use this material for educational or informational purposes, including photo collections, textbooks, public exhibits, computer graphical simulations and Internet Web pages.

For projects of this size, what legal/financial structure do you use? Particularly of interest for what Australians do, but any stories would be good.

When I've looked, a sole trader with liability and cyber insurance seemed reasonable (maybe $2k/yr), but a Pty ltd with the same would probably be safer ($5k/yr).

It all comes down to what the risk of being sued is though. I'm sure selling games wouldn't require this.

I can relate.

This also made me think of this article Are you playing to win or playing to play (https://commoncog.com/playing-to-play-playing-to-win/) which is about doing things that aren't necessary to achieve the goal, but which you do to feel like you've done it right (as opposed to objectively doing it right).

An example from the article is someone who doesn't want to win at Street Fighter using throws, because they are seen as cheap: "Throwing violates the rules in their heads even though it doesn't violate any actual game rule"

Saving you potions feels like a rule derived from efficiency or frugality, trading off leveraging the resources you have.

Lots of mind traps here.

I've used flying saucer pdf[1] for this in the past, but the missing piece always seems to be a descent WYSIWYG template editor. Either open source or paid.

Any suggestions on a web solution that allows non-devs to make great templates would be appreciated.

Historically I've built something simple with Tiny and added a preview button to render, but that super clunky.

These are some reflections on what different products we integrate with provide to users of their APIs. Definitely not meant to be a best practice guide, rather some food for thought if you're building or comparing competing APIs.

I've got a Dell 7490, which works great for development, and you can upgrade the SSD and RAM, but, suspend is unreliable.

TBH, the only issue I've had with any of my laptops in Linux (Dell and IBM/Lenovo) is suspend. Which actually makes me think power management in general might be busted.

I'd be interested to know if there is a methodical way to diagnose these issues? Every howto just seems to be a mishmash of kernel flags to try, which seems chaotic, and gets frustrating when the issue is intermittent.

I'm still trying to understand how this works at a functional level.

I see you can find reviews via ActivePub services, like Mastodon, but you can only post from BookWyrm instances? i.e., you can't have one federated social identity that can post reviews and post other fediverse content?
