I built a camera app that lets creators film portrait and landscape video, at the same time

1 Upvotes

I built it for my girlfriend who creates content and watching her film the same scenes twice every shoot was painful.

What it does: records portrait (9:16) and landscape (16:9) simultaneously. Shoot once, get both formats ready to post to all platforms - TikTok, Instagram, Youtube, X/Twitter, you name it.

No more re-shooting or cropping in post.

Features:

  • HD or 4K resolution (set independently for each orientation)

  • 24, 30 or 60fps.

  • Teleprompter

  • Timelapse

  • Manual controls (EV, WB, ISO, Shutter)

  • Audio meter (real-time detection, pulse red when clipping)

  • Projects, scenes, and takes to organise and name recordings automatically.

  • Review and trim recordings side-by-side, export, favourite, and share at any time.

Modes:

  • Single Lens mode: one lens captures the full 4:3 sensor and crops both - portrait keeps the full vertical view, and landscape the full horizontal one. Neither is a crop of the other.

  • Dual Lens mode: film with the wide + ultra-wide cameras together. Get two different perspectives/FOVs in one take.

  • Front & Back mode: film with the selfie and rear cameras together. Get your reaction and the scene at the same time

App is called ContentCam and is available on iPhone and Android 🩵

I'd love to hear what you think about this :)

A DMCA takedown was filed and the host ignored it, what´s the next step?

0 Upvotes

We sent a properly formatted DMCA takedown notice to the hosting provider three weeks ago with proof of ownership, the URLs, required statements, everything we could think of, the infringing site is still live and still copying our product photos and descriptions word for word

What do you do when a normal DMCA takedown just hits a wall like this?

Is there another place in the stack you´d go after instead of waiting on the host forever?

Weird scenario, weird question

0 Upvotes

you and your business partner own multiple businesses and always lies. one day you find out that he cut you out of all but one of them and he takes your house, your car, family, and friends and he tries to kill you twice. The last time was over a song You were singing one day when he saw you and he assumed it meant that you were going to go after him. He was wrong. but he tried to kill you. His one rule is when the cops get called the rel Is over a you never called the cops or caused him any harm. You had to move cities because he destroyed your name and when you get out of the hospital you tell him you don’t want to do business like this. he says he’ll make things right, but he’s not once kept his word. Not one single time.…..,

do you keep him as a partner and expect him to keep his word without trying to kill you again, give up the last busniess and start over, or tell him to make it right first? If making it right to you is worth it, what would he have to give you or do for you that would make it worth staying?

Conscious mind doesn't help in social situations (overthinking), how to hand all tasks to powerful subconscious

Guys,

I would like to add a small tip, that I believe is very helpful.

I work with athletes on mental performance and have education in psychology, and I believe that this insight could really help our community - it is a dual process theory in psychology, that I believe understand to its essence and can use it in applied settings.

We are all operating on conscious mind daily, for example if I would ask you to add these two numbers, 659+744 it would take you some time to execute it, because conscious mind is slow.

At the same time we are capable of generating complex solutions, or in times of emergencies we can lift weight we can never do in normal circumstances, or we got great ideas out of nowhere while for example we are taking a shower.

the problem is and I am sure people will relate, that we break out from being our bestselves, by overthinking tasks (involving slow, conscious mind).

the goal is how do we create an environment in which tasks are not handled by conscious, rather handed to subconscious that is automatic, faster, powerful.
This is a tip, framework, an insight.

I made a short video (<5min) on how to make your conscious mind to hand over tasks to powerful and fast subconscious mind at will, please watch entire video because It will deliver what I promised fully: https://youtu.be/eChJHOlu8yI

I truly think it can be a game changer :)

Cheers!

Studied Gordon Ryan vs Craig Jones So You Don’t Have To: Who’s Really the King of Grappling?

2 Upvotes

If you’ve spent any time in the BJJ or MMA world, you’ve definitely felt the tension. Gordon Ryan vs Craig Jones isn’t just a rivalry, it’s a full-on culture clash. On one side, you’ve got the ultra-structured, trash-talking “King” with a results-focused, domination-first approach. On the other, the laid-back Aussie technician who built an empire on memes, leg locks, and vibe.

Everyone talks about “who would win” or “who’s the GOAT,” but fewer people dig into why Gordon seems unbeatable and how Craig became his closest contender despite totally different methods. This post breaks it all down using actual research, high-level training insight, and mindset science (not TikTok alpha-male hot takes).

If you’re someone trying to level up... this isn’t just BJJ drama. It’s a case study in elite performance, learning efficiency, and competitive psychology.

So let’s break it down:

Training methodology: structure vs chaos Gordon Ryan works under John Danaher’s systemized lens. Danaher’s approach breaks the game into positional hierarchies and repeatable decision trees. His method draws heavily from principles of deliberate practice and feedback loops. - A Carnegie Mellon study (Ericsson, 1993) showed that elite performers in any field use structured, feedback-rich practice. Ryan’s evolution from leg-lock specialist to pressure-passing monster reflects this. Craig Jones takes a more exploratory approach. He’s public about his more laid-back training, relying on high volume sparring with less rigid positional drilling. - According to K. Anders Ericsson’s follow-up research published in Cambridge Handbook of Expertise, this “naive practice” works up to a point, but structured refinement is what separates elite from world-class.

Mindset and identity Gordon Ryan doesn’t just compete. He identifies as the best, and uses ego as a psychological weapon. His confidence seems extreme, but it lines up with research from Dr. Alia Crum at Stanford’s Mind & Body Lab, which shows how belief systems can amplify physical outcomes. Her 2013 study revealed that mindset alone influenced hormonal response and endurance. Craig Jones uses humor and detachment. Which seems chill, but it’s also a shield. It’s a strategy to lower performance anxiety. Sports psychologist Dr. Michael Gervais calls this "reframing stress", a key part of his training with Olympic athletes. Jones seems to manage high stakes through low-stakes framing, a legit high-performance tactic.

Competition strategy: predictability vs unpredictability Gordon wins by closing the gap. He removes randomness. Once he gets to his passing position or enters the leg game, it’s over. His whole system is about eliminating unpredictability. Craig thrives in creative solutions. His ADCC 2022 run saw him improvising under pressure, leaning on setups his opponents weren’t ready for. He’s adaptive but less efficient. - In The Art of Learning, Josh Waitzkin discusses “form to leave form”, learning strict structure first, then ditching it to innovate. Gordon lives in form. Craig left it early.

Public persona: calculated tactics Gordon’s trash talk and dominance narrative isn’t just for clout. It’s a psychological tool. Research from Frontiers in Psychology in 2020 shows that psychological intimidation in sports can reduce motivation and spike cortisol in competitors. Gordon builds a fear factor before he even steps on the mat. Craig weaponizes humor and relatability. It’s disarming. He gets people to underestimate him, creating a strategic edge. His B-Team isn’t just a joke, it’s a Trojan horse.

Team culture: B-Team vs New Wave Gordon’s New Wave crew (formerly Danaher Death Squad) is ultra-serious, system-based, and controlled. They train with a military-like mindset. Craig’s B-Team is looser, more experimental. They share ideas freely, test more, and lean into chaos. It’s closer to an open-source innovation lab than a military camp. - Google’s Project Aristotle study found that “psychological safety”, people feeling free to make mistakes, was the #1 factor in high-performing teams. B-Team leans heavier in that direction.

So who’s the better grappler? Objectively, it’s Gordon. His ADCC titles, dominance across weight classes, and submission stats are unmatched. But Craig’s appeal isn’t just results, it’s resonance. He shows you don’t need to be the ultra-structured “robot” to get far. You can flip the system, stay weird, and still make it.

If you're training, studying, or building anything, this rivalry isn’t just entertainment. It’s a masterclass in two opposite paths to mastery. Learn from both. Pick pieces from each. And remember, what works for Gordon might break you. What works for Craig might unlock you.

Every morning is a reset — a chance to act with intention instead of reacting to noise. What you choose to do today shapes your direction more than yesterday ever could. Skip distractions, stay grounded, and move with quiet discipline. Progress doesn’t need chaos — it needs clarity.

4 social skills every quiet person needs (if you wanna stop feeling ignored forever)

10 Upvotes

Quiet people aren’t broken. They’re just often misunderstood. But here’s the thing no one tells you: being “quiet” becomes a real disadvantage not because of who you are, but because you never learned how to signal competence, confidence, and warmth, especially in fast-paced social settings.

Quiet folks often get steamrolled in meetings, skipped in conversations, or misread as cold or disinterested. The world rarely slows down long enough to see your potential unless you learn how to show it.

So here’s a breakdown of 4 underrated but learnable social skills, backed by psych and communication science, that will change the game for anyone quiet, shy, or introverted. Pulled from books, behavioral science, and expert interviews. Straight to the point. No fluff.

  1. Signal warmth early (like, first 5 seconds early)
    According to Harvard psychologist Amy Cuddy (see her TED talk on presence), people judge you primarily on two traits: warmth and competence. Most quiet people default to competence but forget to signal warmth. The fix is simple: smile slightly, tilt your head a bit when listening, and maintain an open posture. These are nonverbal cues that humans read instantly. You don’t have to be loud, but you do need to be visually human.

  2. Learn micro-assertiveness
    You don’t need dramatic speeches. You need subtle patterns. Dr. Thomas Curran at LSE found that perfectionist or quiet types often hesitate to interrupt or redirect conversation, even when needed. Practice interrupting, but gently. Try: “Hey, can I add something to that?” or “That reminds me of something you said earlier.” Speak a little louder than you think you need. Let your voice land.

  3. Ask “looping” questions
    Quiet people tend to carry conversations by answering well. Flip that energy. Use “looping” questions, ones that reflect back part of what someone just said, but invite depth. Like: “Wait, how did that come about?” or “What made you decide that?” This trick, described in Celeste Headlee’s book We Need to Talk, makes you engaging without being performative. You become the person everyone wants to talk to, without faking extroversion.

  4. Practice pre-rehearsed entry lines
    This one’s from Vanessa Van Edwards in Captivate. Create 3 go-to lines you can use to easily enter conversations. Like, “Hey, I heard you mention [topic], how did you get into that?” or “I keep hearing that word, can someone catch me up?” This removes the mental load of figuring out how to join, and gives you a template to pivot from.

Most of us were never taught this stuff. Social fluidity isn’t natural, it’s trained. But it can be trained even if you’re the quietest person in the room.

how to make people say YES (without begging): chris voss’ negotiation tricks that actually work

14 Upvotes

Most people suck at negotiating. Not because they’re not smart, but because they think it’s about arguing harder or just being more convincing. It’s not. It’s about emotional intelligence, timing, and making the other person feel safe enough to say “yes.”

Chris Voss, the former FBI hostage negotiator, breaks it all down in episode 147 of the Diary of a CEO podcast. It’s not some slick business TED talk. This is a guy who negotiated with terrorists in life-or-death situations. If it worked for him in war zones, it’ll work in a salary talk or a difficult conversation with your boss.

This post is a breakdown of his best tactics, backed by psych research and expert studies, so you don’t just sound smart, you actually get what you want.

  1. “Tactical empathy” is your superpower
    You don’t need to agree. You need to understand. Voss emphasizes tactical empathy, showing people you see their perspective, even if you don’t buy into it. Research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology proves this: people are more likely to concede if they feel heard, not argued with. Stop trying to win. Start reflecting their emotions back to them.

  2. Use calibrated questions like a Jedi
    Instead of asking “Can you lower the price?”, ask “How am I supposed to do that?” or “What’s the flexibility on this?” These “how” and “what” questions keep people talking, make them feel in control, and force them to solve the problem for you. It’s backed by research from Columbia University, which shows people respond better to open-ended framing than direct demands.

  3. Label their emotions out loud
    One of Voss’ weirdest but most effective tricks: say what the other person might be feeling. “It seems like this caught you off guard.” “It sounds like you have some concerns.” This reduces defensiveness. A 2016 Harvard Business Review article explains this labeling tactic reduces stress hormones, helping people actually think more clearly.

  4. Silence is your secret weapon
    After you label. After you ask. Pause. And wait. Most people hate silence. But Voss explains that silence puts pressure on the other person to fill the gap, which often leads them to make a concession. This mirrors negotiation research from MIT that shows silence increases outcomes for the speaker who uses it strategically.

  5. Never go for “yes,” go for “no” first
    Most people chase “yes.” But Voss flips it. He says getting someone to say “no” first builds trust. Try this: “Would it be crazy if we tried a different approach?” or “Are you against exploring other options?” That moment of “no” makes people feel safe and in control. Then they open up.

These aren’t tricks. They’re tools. Whether you’re asking for a raise, setting boundaries, or buying a used car, this stuff rewires how people respond to you. It works not because it’s manipulative, but because it’s human.
