All kinds of random stuff really, but to filter it down to only the noteworthy ones: Tuber[0] - this is my favorite, use it multiple times a week. It's just a little CLI wrapper around yt-dlp for my most common use cases - downloading

Bandlab is decent enough for this, yeah. It's not "version control" in the way that programmers are used to, not by any means. More like "Google Docs" but for a DAW session. Certainly good enough for "my brothe

I haven't set up my own stack for music, so I'm just guessing tbh, but administering Jellyfin has been completely painless. Let Claude write a docker compose file, toss it on the server, haven't had to think about it again. I

It's not just a subscription thing, you can purchase individual shows ala bandcamp too. But yeah, jam bands have really embraced this more than any other category of artist - it's quite common even among low-mid tier jam bands tha

I've got a couple of different things going as per usual, but the one that I'm currently most excited about is Lotus Eater: https://lotuseater.epiccoleman.com/ It's a mostly vibe-coded fan site for jamtronica

I might be wrong about this, but at least in my experience you just can't "next next next." There's too much complexity! I'm essentially the maintainer of a series of accounts for each kid, these days. Woe unto an

I like that idea, almost like a prioritized queue of content - show me the stuff I'm sure to want to see first, and then just gimme whatever. In the context of NPR, the "stuff I'm sure to want to see" is probably just &q

This is super cool, I love the aesthetic. The biggest thing I want out of something like this is curation (and it seems like there's at least some degree of that happening here among the various categories).

Sometimes, it's nice to just sit down and watch something without needing to make repeated decisions about what's on. I typically share your mindset, but I can see the appeal. There was something nice about the TV that just, ya kn

My grandma made Platonically Ideal Pies, and I took up the art years ago. Mine, if I say so myself, are quite good, given that with Grandma's example I know what I'm shooting for. I haven't made one for a few years, though -

I might be tilting at a strawman of your definition of vibe coding - apologies in advance if so. But LLM-aided development is helping me get my hands dirty. Last weekend, I encountered a bug in my Minecraft server. I run a small modded se

The ones that feel the most like they "get me" are probably Weird Studies and Very Bad Wizards. I'm a fan of Sam Harris's Making Sense podcast too. When I want to dip into political news, I trust the Fifth Column guys to

At least in my experience, there's another mechanism at play: people aren't making it visible if AI is speeding them up. If AI means a bugfix card that would have taken a day takes 15 minutes, well, that's the work day sorted

Oh, sounds like I'm just out of the loop then. I had an Opencode install that I was planning to check out, and then like, the next day there was the announcement from a week or two ago, so I just kinda shrugged and forgot about it.

It's not really that the 4th amendment is less applicable, it's that the procedural protections are lower in civil proceedings. I think it's a pretty big undersell to describe ICE as "marshals" too - they've go

Which companies do you expect to be taken out? Google and Microsoft will obviously remain. I have a hard time envisioning that OpenAI or Anthropic will go under - especially Anthropic, who are reportedly raking in billions from Claude subsc

I completely agree. I let LLMs write a ton of my code, but I do my own writing. It's actually kind of a weird "of two minds" thing. Why should I care that my writing is my own, but not my code? The only explanation I have is
