It is what I also keep telling everyone. The tools need to be shaped after your work and shouldn't precede it.

I gave it a test spin. Half an hour and the 5 hour usage cap was hit in Claude Code. Not what I would expect on the Max 20x usage plan. I am sure it is great, but at this rate I would rather finish what I am doing with Claude Opus instead of structuring my usage around the 5 hour windows.

This is similar to building a React SPA and complaining that Google can't index it.

LLMs will use your website anyway. You're just choosing whether to pay the cost in structured endpoints upfront or hand that cost to browser emulation and lose control of how you're represented.

No, commenters here simply take into account that predictions markets have historically classified themselves as futures markets and not as gambling.

Allowing information asymmetry, like insider trading, undermines the regulatory argument that keeps these markets legal.

I am guessing there will be an OpenClaw "competitor" targeting Enterprise within the next 1-2 months. If OpenAI, Anthropic or Gemini are fast and smart about it they could grab some serious ground.

OpenClaw showed what an "AI Personal Assistant" should be capable of. Now it's time to get it in a form-factor businesses can safely use.

If this is about military capability, why ban all foreign manufacturers, including proven innovators like Helsing and Baykar? Instead of blanket bans, targeted contracts could leverage Ukraine tested designs while building domestic capacity.

Innovation happens under competitive pressure. The US just created a domestic vacuum.

That is exactly what you never want to do under protectionist policies. Domestic producers are shielded from Chinese competitors. This means they are under less pressure to reduce prices and innovate.

I wouldn't read too much into the national security justification. It's a political argument to an economic policy.

I started learning the guitar years ago, but lost motivation once I got into university. Maybe I'll give it another shot and use this as a refresher on the theory!

Anyway, one small nitpick on the website: When on German language the word "FUNKTIONSHIGHLIGHTS" overflows on mobile. I would replace it with "WICHTIGSTE FUNKTIONEN" as that is two words.

Good luck, the website and App look nice!

Out of curiosity, what made you pivot from a web/translation editor to recovering stripe payments? Was it primarily because of the teams prior experience in payment recovery or something else?

As much as I like SEPA it is primarily for bank transfers.

The way that payments work through SEPA is that the merchant pulls the money from your account. Legally they require a "mandate" - this can be as little as a handwritten signature on a document.

Security is essentially provided by easy reversal and strong penalties for abuse.

Vibe coding by itself isn't a problem.

The problem is vibe coding AND negligence. Good software practices like testing, code review, documentation are bound to catch the LLM-isms.

No offense on the author, the project specifically calls out that it's a "young" project in the footer, so I personally wouldn't expect it to be quite up to spec yet.

When you look at the market with a zero-sum perspective it becomes apparent that both active and passive investors earn average market returns - collectively they by definition are the market.

However, active investors have higher trading fees/management costs, so they are bound to perform at least slightly worse on average. It's just mathematics.

That's a common pattern in trading strategies with negative skews or tail risks. Even large hedge funds, like LTCM, can fall into this same pitfall.

For anyone interested, I can recommend the book "Systematic Trading" by Robert Carver. You don't have to be into algorithmic trading, the sections on risk management and positive vs negative skews are already worth the read.

Interesting question, here are my few cents.

Exports are more "expensive" for countries with reserve currency status. This is a problem for countries that export many primary and "low-tech" secondary sector products. Countries that export many "high-tech" secondary sector products can usually still thrive.

This leaves us with the usual suspects: US, China, Germany (-> EU) and Japan.

I get it that "click here" is not descriptive, but so is simply linking "Amaya". What is it? A person? A fruit?

People don't read websites linearly, in the best case they skim read all the buttons and links. I personally would include the verb as it gives important context and is a clearer CTA for the "skimmers".

Amaya is W3C's... "Download Amaya"!
