Seems to use gpt-4o under the hood. I wonder if using Deepseek would make any difference in quality. I used to have nice and detailed summaries with this app lasting many paragraphs. It used to be totally free and you could submit as many l

I had no idea the lineage of LibreOffice went back that far. I wonder how much StarOffice code still remains in the repo.

Not only here but now people as close as my family have heard of Deepseek through other channels and are telling me I need to get on top of the trends now in order to stay relevant in my industry, or I'll be left behind. The combinatio

If you pay for RateYourMusic premium then you can use a service they offer called Sonemic. It gives you customized recommendations based on the ratings in your RYM account. You connect your Spotify account to link their track/album dat

It could be that finding oneself at fault for life choices but being without enough motivating energy to make better choices is an even worse personal outcome than blaming others, and deciding to externalize blame is a defense mechanism aga

You could use the Spotify API to autogenerate your own playlists and upload them to your library, bypassing Spotify's own recommendations. There are a couple of services out there that connect to Spotify this way. Usually I start with

I like how it's faster than before but the modern UI design trends are starting to wear on me. If you could have the old theme with the new features that would be good. The two-click copy button is absolutely the worst new "featur

I feel like LLMs are inextricably tied to topics like politics which fuels the exhaustion and fatigue. There is also the general pessimism around technology and overvaluation. I see billboards advertising out in the world mentioning some AI

Imagine you had the superpower to cause a not-insignificant amount of people to start shouting about this or that topic at the mere mention of you-who-must-not-be-named. I would imagine you might feel pretty powerful being able to observe y

I think some people will never reach a sufficient interest in music to where they can produce songs that reach their level of taste. But those people can be far more experienced and interested in a different craft, like programming. So serv

It makes one speculate how many people out there are just one trip away from having their inhibitions semi-permanently lowered to where they will no longer let the truth go unspoken. If only the neuroplasticity would engage and reconnect ju

I treat Copilot as glorified Bing search and nothing more. I try very hard not to pattern-match and let an output trigger my built-in human empathy and just have a question I want to answer, following the citations. I don't want to end

AWS certifications (Cloud Practitioner, the first level) teach this info. If it sounds like a good idea you might look into grabbing a few, plus you'd have the benefits of holding certifications for a couple years. Best of all, no LLM

I think this has become slightly more nuanced as of late. For example Synthesizer V now has an AI edition that produces retakes with deep learning. I wonder how people will feel about this long-term as it blurs the line between generated fr

I think this is the reason why I feel so much nostalgia for the sort of 2012-era vectorflourish sort of aesthetic. Look at the first Google image result for "Zune" for an example[1]. Gradient-type stenciling with references to the

It could be that a large amount of porn consumption is kept as a private thing, but when sex scenes appear in media that is consumed "in public" (theatres, on the living room couch with friends, etc.) any reminder of that private
