nxpnsv··on Data does not speak to you
But then the next generation is all made of the people who turned this world awful. What about being the change you want? I guess if you gave an orphan a good life, that would count though.
nxpnsv··on Moldova broke our data pipeline
Yes, but tabs also can appear in text fields. If you are free to pick not csv, then perhaps consider feather or parquet?

nxpnsv··on Autonomous cars, drones cheerfully obey prompt injection by road sign
They don’t want cars near the school when kids are coming in or when they leave. That sounds like a sane approach to me…
nxpnsv··on European Alternatives
Someone should make news.eucombinator.eu…
nxpnsv··on Skip is now free and open source
True. I never paid for it myself, but I think i got it from my uni. I had some of my fondest coding memories with it
nxpnsv··on The struggle of resizing windows on macOS Tahoe
My first reaction was that it never bothered me, but now I realize I also didn't update to Tahoe yet. I'll wait a bit longer...
nxpnsv··on Poison Fountain
I guess that the point is that doing so already is not safe?

nxpnsv··on Orion 1.0
I switched to zen browser. It was not for speed but feel. It feels nice.
nxpnsv··on Steam Machine
I recently got a tiny and mighty GPD win mini. I booted windows once to shrink the data partition and installed Bazzite Linux. Painless install, never even considered booting in win again, and so far all games I tried worked flawlessly. I know there are issues with anti-cheat, but I usually don't even like those games..
nxpnsv··on Meta projected 10% of 2024 revenue came from scams
I'm in Austria. There are price aggregator sites likes Geizhals and Idealo that helps you find deals across many stores. More often I just go to a store I know and like. It happens I pay a little more, but not having 15 cheap options with one off brand names is actually more a pro than a con..

nxpnsv··on How AI gave me my voice back – an artist's review of Suno Studio
I don't think I'm a hardcore slop hunter really. Suno was fun to play with, what comes out feels icky though. Perhaps that is because it is low effort though, my attempts certainly were.
nxpnsv··on How AI gave me my voice back – an artist's review of Suno Studio
That is an interesting point. I am not sure how to define Slop. I am 100% sure you could use Suno for something that doesn't feel horrible. I tried and failed bad. But maybe it is possible. Typically I just hear on the surface song like audio but without anything to make me care about the song at all.
nxpnsv··on How AI gave me my voice back – an artist's review of Suno Studio
I don't oppose synthesis or samples. But arguably Suno songs typically goes way little beyond that. If you didn't chose the samples, didn't chose the words, didn't chose the voice, but vibed for a few mins what you did is not made a song, you heard a song. And the songs suck.
