Really cool idea, I’ve been looking for something like this. I did wonder how to do the Bear Hold if the duration isn’t specified?


My idea was to do as much seconds as there are reps to keep it simple. I understand that this is not well explained and can be explained better. Thanks!


thanks for clearing that up. kept refreshing the page waiting for this to be answered :)

Love the idea and the execution! and also don't understand the toxicity from other comments. appreciate you sharing this with us


I see people working out in the office all the time. My last workplace even had group events that I was more or less peer pressured into. Definitely don’t feel bad doing light exercises in the work place unless you’re customer facing.


You can already call 1-800-242-8478 if you want to talk to a computer, this is not that.


This is cool. Thanks for posting. I could see this adaptive UI / reactive intent UX become valuable for a couple use cases: 1. Tutorial modes for complicated UX that gradually introduces the user to new features as they "progress" through the website. 2. Warning users that their inputs could lead to unforeseen consequences. Think "you forgot to attach the file you talked about in the email" warning that Gmail already does.


I disagree with the author that this a "brand-new" stereotype. America has always been described as aggressive, militaristic and heavy handed in international affairs, in my anecdotal experience as a European.


Yes, such a personality had its place when it was also well educated and knowledgeable about the world. These days, America is aggressive, militaristic, heavy handed in international affairs as well as being completely brainwashed by social media, online propaganda, and terrible education to a lesser extent.

In these days of turmoil, trying to figure out what is going on and what could cause this, it is appalling to me that no one since to blame the elephant in the room: social media, the social internet and making it the core of our society was in hindsight the stupidest thing humanity has ever made. Don't go blaming the Russian bots or Chinese posters. The whole thing is making us more stupid, more entrenched, more vulnerable to massive manipulation of public opinion. And we go cry whenever they take away our algorithms (see the popularity of BlueSky vs Mastodon for example). Call me dramatic, but social media and Web 2.0 indirectly will cause the end of civilisation much faster and more effectively than mass media of old ever dreamed of. And we are still all here happily engaging with it.


I'm sorry because this is going to be rude, but we're talking stereotypes anyway. I cannot remember a time, ever, when America was considered "well educated". And the "knowledgeable about the world" bit is just ridiculous, that quote about war being God's way of teaching Americans geography dates back to the 19th century.


I am not American. I'm just, like many, influenced by your propaganda.

It is very possible that Americans in the 70s where as dumb as they are today, no way for me to confirm it, apart from the fact that a lot of nonsense that's happening today was not happening then, so that has to count for something.

If it helps, the idiocy is not a purely American phenomenon but widespread and now affecting the younger generations. As someone with a Gen-Z sibling, the illiteracy of that generation, grown on Youtube and Tiktok, is utterly mind-boggling. A large contingent of them voted for conservatives and fascists just "for the memes." Back in my day, young people tended to be idealistic and progressive. Fighting for something. Hoping to be better and more open-minded than their parents. I squarely blame this shift on the social like-and-subscribe upvote-driven Internet.


I agree that social media is one of the big issues, but I think the early versions of it - when you were just talking to your friends - were fine.

The problem started with the "engagement algorithms". Surprisingly, radical and controversial content is more engaging, so people who spend a lot of time on social media tend to be enraged all the time (at their perceived enemy).


> brainwashed by social media, online propaganda

This is just another way of saying you don't agree with their views. One man's propaganda is another man's truth. Goes both ways.


Yeah, but there was always hope that they'll restrain themselves about one thing or another to keep up the appearances of a good guy. USA being unabashedly bad is new.


In my experience, that was destroyed under Bush Jr as Reagan-time shenanigans like buildup to Able Archer 83 just weren't widely known. The 1990s still had veneers of legitimate use of force, but the GWOT and especially Iraq quickly eroded that perception in public in my experience.

The new thing to me is the turn from "smiling psycho that will knife you in the back" into a form of unabashed revelry in dumb brute posturing


Bush Jr was the beginning of the end of America's image also for me.


Cursor has two LLM interaction modes, chat and composer. The chat does what you described first and composer can create/edit/delete files directly. Have you checked which mode you're on? It should be a tab above your chat window.


It would be great if you could try out my phishing detection idea. Send an email to hi@bademail.io and get it analyzed for phishing. So far it seems to work ok but looking for feedback.
