This is for what I'd pay >50% of my NW to startups to solve for me

Exactly! It's so infuriating to search for a song cover and instead of being able to discover indie musician covers or rare live recordings, I get the studio version + 2 results, then I get redirected to 'related' songs.

I'm pretty sure they would have had extensive trials for comfort and neck strain already.

Don't you dare differentiate those weights! Hands in the air!

Please opensource this - or even a pastebin would work.

Doesn't make sense to me - google/the internet already has more facts/jokes/interesting stuff than my friends could ever produce. It still can't replace my friends because my friends have agency and are invested in my life.

Are you saying there are engineers sitting behind their laptops who upvote the "bathroom destruction" trend in some kind of global dashboard? You sound very certain about the degree of control they have over recommendation systems.

That is a great idea! I can't believe that the same functionality that seemed impossible a year ago (for which some star-studded startup raised $80m) is now achievable by a guy and his brother in 2 weeks. Godspeed!

How are they coding and releasing features so fast?!

Had my flings with the young and exciting frameworks, but I've matured now - my home will always be with a reliable stable spouse like java :)

Are we sure GPT is going to improve 10x in 10 years? Hasn't it already been trained on the vast majority of available text data? We might get incremental improvements, but it's not like we have 10x more data lying around somewhere to feed GPT5.

GSOC brings up so many emotions in me. 2 years of rejection at the proposal stage made my heart shrivel and weep as much as any ex-lover. The yearly ritual of going through the orgs and projects felt like ruffling through presents under a Christmas tree. My first acceptance in 2015 gave me joy, fame, glory among peers and immeasurable confidence. If only real world jobs could be as joyful.
