I used to have a single Inbox playlist to save music and keep the date when I saved each song.

I've always preferred 1Password and Bitwarden to LastPass.
I still prefer to encrypt sensitive data and "secure notes" with custom workflows (GPG keys, for instance) instead of relying on third parties, and even more when the data would be store in the cloud, in a centralized location.
I can't imagine the nightmare of having all your secrets exposed, not just for the risk of it but for having to reset all your exposed accounts.

But if you've used Laravel, you know it's pleasant to write apps with it.
pico.sh is a content management system (CMS) for hackers.
That's what I infer from the site, but it would be helpful if they added a one-liner to the home page and repo.
They require training data longer than 15 seconds, which could lead the out out to resemble more the actual voice.
I've seen weird behaviors where the AI voice forces a British accent to pronounce certain words which I don't have.
Descript also uses voice synthesis to regenerate edited portions of conversations with a noticeable cut to smoothen the transition, which is pretty useful.
Should they then let anyone register their "voice id" to prevent others frok generating similar voices?
What if your voice happens to resemble the voice of a "prominent figure?"
- Gesture recognition to detect different hand gestures
- Skeleton detection to infer people's positions and whether they have a raised hand
- Object detection (e.g., YOLO) to detect hands
I believe in this case you could go for skeleton detection as you get information from which you could infer raised hands.
I can even develop and run Apple MLX code while I'm streaming. (I lose a few frames when generating images with Stable Diffusion or load big LLMs like Gemma 7B.)
My MacBook Pro M1 wasn't there for streaming and recording at the same time. But even an M1 Max could do the job as well.
This piece resonates so much with what the movie and soundtrack evoked in me.
I discovered Glass' works from it and love his discography.
A Stream Deck XL button runs a Python script that creates a timestamp for ongoing video and audio recordings which I use for live stream and podcast chapters while I'm streaming or recording.
Different buttons on the Stream Deck create markers with different labels, e.g., Introduction, Break, Marker, etc.
But as it's hard to name markers for every section and you have to go back to the recordings to infer what each section was about, I added a dynamic marker script that trims audio around a marker with ffmpeg, locally transcribes it with Whisper, and appends the transcript to the marker, so I can easily guess what the marker title should be without having to scroll and watch the video.
It's fairly easy and quick to run Whisper for free either locally in an Anaconda environment with Python or the command-line interface or, even better, in a Google Colab notebook.
Here's a sample notebook that builds on a notebook by Pete Warden.

Typinator lets you use what's on the clipboard but also add scripting (say, Python or JavaScript) when certain parameters need to be calculated, like sizes or names.
