Good luck! You've got a great mission and I'm sure you've already made a big difference in people's lives. Having worked in branding and identity, I think you'd probably have to rename really soon for it to be feasi

While LLMs have incredible potential, and are even downright useful in their current format, they have the rather nasty tendency to confidently present bullshit that passes the smell test for most people. When it's wrong, it's not

This looks great- I'd give it a shot. Marketing note: I'm pretty sure it's regional, but in the very densely populated place I grew up, lungy was a synonym for loogie, which if you've never heard the term, is phlegm mixe

That's probably a useful perspective for someone that makes software... But developers and most other folks interact and reason about computers and software pretty differently. Generally, people have practical problems that computers c

In many cases, like satellite Internet access or spotty mobile service, for sure. But if you have low bandwidth but fast response times, that 2mb is murder and the big pile o requests is NBD.If you have slow response times but good throughp

If if the request itself hasn't reached the network layer but is having a networky feeling hang, I'd look into DNS. It's network dependent but handled by the system so it wouldn't show up in your web app requests. I&#x27

Yep. In SPAs with good architecture, you only need to load the page once, which is obviously weighed down by the libraries, but largely is as heavy or light as you make it. Everything else should be super minimal API calls. It's especi

While I find the tongue in cheek, punny naming in the Python ecosystem (mostly the modules these days,) charming , I find the straightforward and predictable naming in other ecosystems useful . When I'm programming, I really prefer

High-end places not only still have bad margins, they're quite often worse! Low-end places are often even more carefully designed, though, but they're designed for different things: high turnover and low staff wages, meaning simpl

Unrelated blathering because a lot of folks in tech don't have much exposure to this stuff and I always enjoy seeing a slice of someone else's life: In general a lot of people are understandably perplexed by seemingly simple, av

Between dev and administration/ops work, I spent a couple of decades in the deep end of the tech pool. As we know, it's packed with layers of interconnected archaic, arbitrary and confusing terminology. I understand the resistance

It's seems like the slippery slope argument is saying it would be risky for an AD to say "we need a deep gravelly voice, but more like Donald Sutherland than Robert Loggia. Let's see who we get that has that vibe." I don

That assumes an incredibly slippery slope. > I just can't imagine it'd be a good thing to have your voice be owned by someone else just because they became famous first. Are you saying that anyone being able to train generati

Yeah. I agree that voiceover work is way different than having some amalgamated version of your primary artistic output and advertising copy get slapped on corn chips.

by chefandy 2y ago
Ostensibly, many folks here philosophically believe either that amalgamating other people's art is tantamount to making art, or that the artistic process is irrelevant. I think many of the former are inexperienced artists that see gene
