[andrewfromx]

so i watched the video and see fetch to get the current time in the UK. Can you give some other use case examples?

[nstebbins → andrewfromx]

Yep, the MCP servers I've supported out the gate include Github, Playwright, Git, Filesystem, etc so you can do things like

1. Have Claude Desktop perform actions on your behalf in Github (e.g. search code, search PRs, create repos, create PRs) 2. Have Cursor browse the web for you to integrate realtime Web info into context for code changes 3. Have Claude Desktop use information stored locally in your files to answer questions

Well the victim needs to:

1. Download someone else's rule file. It might look ok, be in someone's well respected repo.

2. Not view the rule file with hex editor and notice the weird unicode chars that are giving bad instructions but don't appear when you view the file normally.

If you've seen Robocop this is like his secret primate directive.

"How To Know If You Should Work Harder"

He talks about exactly this. Has a great line something like "you just want to be able to say I gave it my all and mean it."

If you stop now do you mean it?

I'm a little order, 49 and I recently "gave up" and took a W2 job. But I was definitely done. Could not go on with my make it big ideas one day longer.

nice, how about being able to add "approved faces" to the dictionary. Kinda like with google doc spell check I can tell it a mis-spelled word is actually ok. So if my friend Bob is on the list and he's detected that doesn't count.

[Two_hands → andrewfromx]

Hey, thanks for the feedback!

This is on the roadmap, along with gaze detection.

https://github.com/opencv/opencv_zoo/tree/main/models/face_r...

This model lets you upload a reference face and then matches to those in images. I think this allows for the "approved faces" function you mentioned.

I suppose a difficulty may arise when we run a few models at the same time, however there is probably a lot of room for efficiency on the table and thanks to the small model size we are already in a good place.
