Claude argued with me about the quadratic equation the other day. It vehemently felt a -c was required whereas a c was the correct answer. I pointed this out showing step by step and it finally agreed. I tried Grok to see if it could get it right. Nope, the exact same response as Claude, but Grok never backed down; even after the step by step explanation of the maths.
https://digital-storybooks.github.io/multilingual/#/testbook...My friend had a cute baby boy and mentioned difficulty in finding children's storybooks in Spanish.
Challenge accepted:
I built an AI generated multilingual storybook, just to see if it would work.
Tap or click the little monster to have it read to you.
Local LLM generated the story, stable-diffusion generated the images, AI converted text to speech in two languages: English and Spanish ( could easily do many more languages ).
I "filled the app out" by adding a simple landing page placeholder, login page and "library" page.
Not very phone friendly, was made for her iPad.
Just click login to move on, as it is currently not connected to a backend.
Only the second book currently has a story, the others are placeholder templates.
Main Project:
Radar Analysis Software.
Side Project:
Sentiment analysis (±10) on news articles to be used ( along with other indicators ) for stock buy/sell recommendations.
Only if your third grade math teacher has claim to your algebraic code comparisons. Current trends are iterative training with positive first model, negative second model and let the AI 'scale' the learning from there.
Let the oppression begin.
The clear declarative: "Extract this to a separate function."
Everything thing else can be misinterpreted as a suggestion, dig, ect.
Actually an interview question to work with us. We need code, not egos. Write and be wrong, correct and continue. Do not sweat errors. None of us are perfect, and neither is this review.
Selling software is no longer the best path to success. Open source your software and offer alternative means to make money. If the software is really good, "they" will throw money at you through:
1. Paid support.
2. Software as a Service (OpenSaaS)
3. Open-core model.
4. GitHub sponsors.
5. Paid feature requests.
6. Get paid to build open source extensions for existing products.

Check y-combinator for seed money.

Stop wasting everyone's time with face to face meetings. Words are meaningless, easily misinterpreted and non binding.
Written documentation of actions are easily referenced and binding.
I am a fan boy and did not find any of it offensive. Great write up, actually.
Windows simply does a better job at window management. I use full screen and three finger swipe between 5 separate desktops for work to overcome this weakness.
The flash drive did make me giggle... oh you poor windows laden idiot. Flash drives... like from 1999?
Most of your issues are just growing pains. I did it when I migrated about 10 years ago from my LeapFrog: no carry handle, screen too bright, no built in songs, ect.
Lost me at... this is an F16 ( cockpit was certainly NOT an F16 ).
The US has had an Electronic Signature law since 2000:
https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-106publ229/pdf/PLAW...tl dr;
Typed signatures are legal in a digital form if the form states this is a signature block. There is no need for a third party such as docusign.
Further verification standards have been adopted, but not required, to identify typed signatures. The most common is the leading "//". So my legal signature would look like this:
//William Hagan
HELL NO! Download an app to basically virtualize (allow complete tracking ) an application. iOS and now iPadOS have allowed direct “app”installs for 10 years. Progressive web applications currently could be written for most native applications and deployed on just about any platform.
