LoRa for radio LoRA for LLM refinement

This is hard for me to grasp. It seems like an automated conversion tool that takes existing posts and then makes them audio. I see it as a tool since your whole landing page is basically an ad for a tool.

Yet you position this as a platform, but don't really show it. There is no sample content nor people to follow. I also don't see typical stuff like how long it will take to read (listen). No leader board. No examples of personas. Why a whole screen to explain the name?

If instead you kept it as a tool but positioned it like AI that first makes you a better writer, second adds emphasis to the speech to make listening interesting and adds music and intros and ads, third preps the file for other platforms.

Your tech stack writeup url is ugly and I would not want to listen to it without knowing some tool had trimmed 80%.

Also check out Hitlist for a similar offering, recently featured in new and noteworthy:

Once you find a blog you like, you can use Peel [1] to rip the MP3s to iTunes. Unfortunately it does not work with Hypem top lists, only the direct RSS that it aggregates.

What's a good website to directly target skilled workers in Spain / Greece / Italy / etc? I'm always on the look for good design, code, marketing, writing, really just about anything (even with a little language barrier).

oDesk and similar don't seem to attract what I would consider to be 70% of a country's workforce. Any sense of if they have training / skills?

Where are these people looking for work (online)?

Looks like google needs to watch this video on how to make a good breakout game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v... -- Juice it or Lose it.

Homeworld assets are on the block still from the THQ fallout. If you want to save this game (and see a brand new sequel), go to the Kickstarter campaign:

Homeworld Touch (iOS/Android) and Homeworld 3 (PC/Mac/Linux) http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/teampix/homeworld-touch-...

You could also try just launched http://www.tripcommon.com to see if there is some romantic destination for you to meet up.

They search prices from both departures and then collate to find the few destinations that are cheap for you both.
