I liked it but realised I couldn't watch anything on VLC while this ran. Too bad.

>Future me can suck it.

So...You will suck it ?

You will never know what could have been, only know that you were a wonderful parent for stepping up to such a challenge.

So, you liked nothing about the post ? What would you salvage from it ?

Go on, where is the evidence ? I am actually curious and open-minded about it.

Sometimes, I feel like conversation is just a way to talk to oneself, by using others as mirrors of what we want to believe. That article had that vibe.

I don't care about the show, the author doesn't know why she cares that much about the show, and I really, really don't understand what caring has to do with seeing the same show several times.

>Whenever somebody asks why, I don’t have a good answer.

I'll suggest the author (and everyone reading this) to really, really sit down and think of why they like the things they like. What are the variables that clicked for me when I interact with X ? The theme ? The way the thing is made ? The echo and specific resonance it has with my inner life ?

I would have gained much more from that article if the author had gone to the trouble of making me connect with the show in that way.

Its care. Us humans can feel when something was made with care vs when it’s made to check some lists people with ties made. Same with music, food, books, art, software, hardware, design, houses. Most stuff today is made to avoid some risks instead of being what it ought to be. Not trying to please anyone is the best way to make great things. Or maybe it is my hate of focus groups who spoiled it all (and I used to be a game user researcher…)

Curious about that reasoning : where do you draw the line ?

Are you a builder if there is an middleman ? If not, what if the middleman is a tool ? If you use autocad to build the plans, are you still a builder ? What if autocad has a prompt feature, are you still a builder ?

Unsure this would help, but maybe thinking in English Prime could be an interesting exercice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Prime

The goal of it all is to reduce the costs of labor (you, basically). On that, AI and robotics are doing just fine !

I'll have some of that coffee too, this is quite a sad time we're living where this is a proper use of our limited resources.

It takes some skill (that you seem to have) to learn to use those LLM. Sad that not everyone see it that way...

I'd say we did, you need more and more for the same effect.

Here is the first ad ever, for a watch : https://youtu.be/ho2OJfXkvpI

For comparison, here is the latest ad for the best selling watch as of today : https://youtu.be/kdMTc5WfnkM

The article did not do it for you. Do not apologize and thanks for sharing why he did not do it for you. It did not do it for me neither, for other reasons (I don't care that much about code, as a non-coder)

it's okay !

...We are going to have to fight against it at some point, will we ?

Not aiming at you specifically, but I am tired of seeing shitty behaviour that is dismissed as best as incompetence. I do not want to believe someone becomes the CEO of one of the strongest organization on earth without a strategy sixth sense. So, why would he be shoving AI everywhere ? What does he know that we don't about it ? Is it just plan surveillance ?

Working 8 years to get to more than 100,000,000 $ and saying no to that...Maybe I'm just too poor to understand that. Sure, this is hackernews, so the hustle mindset is stronger here, but the difference you could make in others people lives just with 10 % of that...

I mean, you could house, feed or educate people and you chose to...not do that ? To have more ? Is there a endgame you are not sharing with us, a special number that would make it OK to sell ?

Sora's app has a 4.8 rating on the app store with 142K rating. It seems to me that the market does not care about slop or not, whether I like it or not.

Oof, nice one !

I was looking for some synths for my less-than-two-years kid, after seeing their face light up when I fiddle with my Lofi 12 XT in front of them.

I had all these criterias : -Something without any screens -Something simple enough -Something that could withstand some rough play

I looked and looked, was considering proper Aira Compact synths, but ended up with the antiquity of the Bliptronic 5000 from Thinkgeek. https://youtu.be/6rCfhF-fNb4 They love it, the buttons are beyond fun to them, but the knobs are quite hard to turn for a little kid (1st world problem, I know)

I felt they were too young for a Blipbox, and I also bought an Orba 2, we'll see how that one goes.

But I dreamed of such a device, with easy to turn knobs, and colorful display, something simple to modulate sounds and just hear melodies. Seeing how you created it is both inspiring and discouraging, as someone with limited free time and electrical knowledge, but, you never know !

Is innovation over ? It sure felt like this reading that entry

>And I suspect that it is becoming increasingly difficult to find original ideas. That is a bias in itself, as originality should naturally grow with the number of people alive. The best time to catch one in a million ideas should be when we are more and more billions, no ?

This should have been a steam game. I played worse games there !

Bad take about blockchain. Being able to send value across borders without intermediaries is unheard of in human history.

Love the work the Essentia foundation is doing, thanks for sharing !

Truly, to each their own.

I couldn't bear to pour all my energy in something that, ultimately, is not mine. But I could feel your enthusiasm through your post, which made me a bit jealouse.

So, yeah.

Yes.

If you didn't know about the case, Damasio's Eliott is the personification of this observation : you have to feel first.

It's like going to a pub to complain about alcohol. Read the room ! /s

Shhh don’t ruin the hype train ! We need to get the vc money in those startups going ! /s

So I guess we are doing our part here ? Trying to sneak one semicolon for the count ? I'm not sure even when to even use them correctly. They always fall flat or make sound pretentious; both of which I try to avoid.

>That’s all you need.

No. They need all the data from your life.

They need to see what you see (camera somewhere), hear what you hear (hello microphones) and probably even more.

My bet is on some sort of tablet. Maybe kind of a book, or kindle, or something like that.
