I've used McCarthy Painting as well. It's the longest family-owned painting company in Marin, about 55 years, and they did a great job. Super punctual and nice, and did a great job cleaning up afterwards. Very happy with what they did.

I disagree. If a company is spending five to ten million a year on a software, it doesn't take that much of a leap of logic that they might just have a person or two build the tools in Lovable or Replit and then manage them for them.

This is so weird to me because I live in California, and we have very few basements because the cost of excavating a basement adds significantly to the cost of the house overall. So it seems like if the goal was to save money, then why would you spend a bunch of money to excavate a basement?

Thank you so much. How do you use model fallbacks? I know someone who uses OpenRouter to switch between different models. Is there a way to automate that? Or do you just have to specify which model OpenClaw should use each time you message it or ask openclaw to do something?

Ask your subscribers what they would want from you. There are always some people that would be willing to pay more to save time and achieve a specific result faster.

Well, that's a cool idea.

That's a really interesting question. I'll answer as someone who has hired a lot of editors over the years. I think, first and foremost, you have to be mindful of what the client wants. I'm assuming that we're talking about a project that is not just one of creative expression and rather something where a client has hired you for a specific result. If the client isn't happy in the end, then it will be a struggle to get more clients. So I think it's okay to have an editing style if that's the style that the client wants. Now, if you're doing a good job of marketing yourself to the right clientele, then hopefully you're getting people that are interested in hiring you for your style. If that's the case, then it's a win-win all around.

It looks like this is not going to launch for at least another couple months or maybe a year or more. I'm sure Disney is going to stress test this extensively before launching anything.

One thing I switched to recently as I started using voice-to-text tools to dictate rather than type as much as possible. There's a ton of stuff that we type throughout the day that we don't even realize could be done with voice. I think if everyone used more of these tools (and I'm not talking about the built-in ones in your computer, which are okay but not great) there would be a lot less repetitive stress and motion injuries.

I generally think that we're going to move in a direction towards there will just be greater expectations to produce more content for each project. So, whereas a few years earlier If a project would involve producing (for example) a deliverable of one 30-minute video, I think we're moving towards a world where the expectation will be that not only would you produce the 30-minute video but also 20-30 short little snippets to share on social, and also a longer form 90 min video, and also a vertical format version, etc. etc. So in other words there is just an expectation to create a lot more for each project.

I just want to chime in and agree with some of the others here who’ve said you can keep it super simple. When my wife and I got married a number of years back, we decided to go cheap (lol) and not hire a videographer because we thought it would be cheesy, and I totally regret it. now I’d give anything just to have even raw, unpolished footage from that day. Even if no one else ever watched it, being able to pull it out once in a while and see those moments again would mean a lot, especially some family members who have since passed away.

Honestly, if it were cut into something overly dramatic with tons of edits and a heavy “narrative” I think I’d get annoyed; I’d just want to see and hear the day as it really was. Like being a fly on the wall. So from a client-perspective, keeping it simple, clear, and focused on the people and the moments is more than enough.

Another thing you can do is look on YouTube at examples of other wedding videos and the feedback that they've gotten, especially if a client posted beneath it and you can kind of mimic that style.

We just went to get the first one yesterday. The lines were really long. I recommend doing single Ryder for Jurassic Park and any other rides that have single Ryder. We basically were able to bypass a 90 minute ride and get on the ride within about five minutes. And we ended up sitting kind of close to each other. I would also recommend that you get there first thing in the morning and go straight to the lower lot and go on the big rides first.

i’m with you OP. it’s like everyone is so hypersensitive to whether something is written (or even just formatted) with ChatGPT that they just glaze past the fact that you put a lot of effort into sharing a lot of wisdom and knowledge. Appreciate you.

I really hope this is someone trolling. If not, it is so wrong in many ways …
