zeynepevecen··on AI as an Information Interface
That’s valid but in the bigger picture, our jobs will be evolved not seize to exist. I dont think that an average person will be able to interact with AI to build functional systems. At least not in the near future.
zeynepevecen··on The Next Interface
Good point. Haven’t thought about it like that.
zeynepevecen··on The lie of music discovery algorithms
There’s an email subscription field thats why i need js hahah you’re so fond of yourself
zeynepevecen··on The lie of music discovery algorithms
There is an app you are just seeing the landing page

But I also don't want a totally random song eighter. I want something that vibes with me but not directly recommended through my listening history, because then they are extremely similar and feels like they're feeding me the same melodies over and over. Thats why I tried to give the "vibes" in a different format; image, rather than my listening history.

Thanks, that was something I was already considering. Do you know where can I find models specialized in this area? Because it is kinda niche, I couldn't find something that maps images into playlists directly, thats why i went for llms
zeynepevecen··on The lie of music discovery algorithms
I’m checking that right now, thank you!!
zeynepevecen··on The lie of music discovery algorithms
Yess! Thank you for commenting. I am very interested in this topic. Please do share with me if you find any interesting ways to explore new music for your taste
zeynepevecen··on The lie of music discovery algorithms
Thank you! I should check youtube's algorithm too.

Yes, I have a prompt like that the current prompt is this:

            'You match the vibes of the pictures with the right songs and turn them into a 3 song playlist with a playlist name. The music genre of the playlist should be consistent for each song. Be creative with music selections, explore different music, be consistent in terms of the genre of the 3 songs. The playlists should be provided in an object array format, like this: \'[{playlistName: "string", songs: [{songName: "string", artist: "string"}, {songName: "string", artist: "string"}, {songName: "string", artist: "string"}]}]\'. Do not add any other text information and only give outputs in the provided format. Your playlists must match the visual vibes and maintain the specified format without any additional information.',
Pretty basic, as i said before this was only ment for me and to explore this idea, but i loved it so I wanted to share :)

The setup is pretty basic. I've built a NextJS app, for the LLM model I am using open AI gpt-4-turbo and sending the images there directly without any database for images. I did a little prompting to get the same output everytime and when I get the output I make search on the Spotify API, find the songs and create the playlist with them on your own authenticated spotify account.

Likewise I also don't have a database for the emails eighter. I am using spotifys authentication

That's a very good point, I also love discovering with lyrics. What I tried to do is to find some connections between the image and music, maybe some connection we as humans cannot see right away.

Many of you asked how it looks, how it works. I've added a video under the blog post, showing how it works.

Many of you were also interested in knowing what's going on behind the scenes. The setup is pretty basic.

As I said before this was just for me at first but it is very exticing to see many people interested by this idea.

If you don't trust openAI models and don't wanna send any pic data to them please don't write your email

Nope my website is way out of date, sorry :) will remove that section entirely

zeynepevecen··on BratGPT: The evil older sibling of ChatGPT
It isnt working right. After one or two prompt it eighter gives an error or just blank
zeynepevecen··on Why are so many young Americans adopting fake British accents?
Because they only know English. Let me explain a bit. I’m a bilingual person, since I’m not living in a English speaking country and I’m 21. They’re saying that switching accents are their defend mechanism or coping mechanism with serious situations. Well, when I say this i think I’m talking for most of the bilingual people, our defend mechanism or us “being playful” is adding some English words into the sentence or switching to English. So it is not something to be shocked

zeynepevecen··on Codeland Conf. Keynote by Kelsey Hightower
I know that. You can watch the replay on youtube. Keynote is the first talk
zeynepevecen··on Codeland Conf. Keynote by Kelsey Hightower
Here are my notes on this keynote:

How to decide what to learn for a life long career? 1) Find a tech thats already in wide use 2) Find full filling open source projects for you and develop them. Develop and learn in public. 3) Get really really good at your current job.

There are no perfect companies for many of us, there are no perfect nations. We can’t run away from all these scenerios. You are gonna have to figure out the best impact you can make within that realm.

The minute you figure out how to put your personality on top of this thing we call work is when you start to stand out as an individual and people can actually see you. …And when you make that pivot, they will actually follow you.

zeynepevecen··on Ask HN: Is there a way to store encountred errors and their solutions?
Yep great advice I always read stack overflow posts but never posted anything.

This is great UI and idea! I think you can improve it with a search bar. It would be faster.
zeynepevecen··on Why Generation X will save the web
I was born in 2001, I am a gen Z and I experienced web as she expressed. I think it would be more convinient if she said gen Z instead of millenials
zeynepevecen··on Do Things That Will Surpass Your Life
I think you need to be in a significiantly good place to wait for your children to surpass you. In a place to have the right to delegate your responsibility to do something that surpasses your life.
