I don’t think that’s going to go the way you think it will. Exhibit A: Freeing the Genie

Could they not think of an original name? Calling it YouTube-dl is just unnecessarily lazy and confusing. This appears to be mostly a docker image of yt-dlp, which is itself a fork of youtube-dl.

Well, it seems that every time a search engine’s AI gives me a definitive and wordy “answer” to a question I search and provides a helpful citation of the page from which it got that answer, it is ALWAYS just a completely hallucinated answer that the cited page in no way supports. This isn’t just hyperbole, this has been my experience with every single search engine AI summary

And I find myself having to go back and fix the autocorrect that my phone keyboard “helpfully” makes with increasing frequency. It used to be that autocorrect would just fix a typo when I’d obviously typed gibberish because I missed a key. But now, it is regularly replacing entire words that I’ve typed completely correctly with some other word that makes absolutely no sense.

I’m all for some specific uses of AI. Things like speech to text or images to text? Sure that’s a great use. But when it comes to research, writing, or spreadsheets, AI tools just need to shut up and stay the fuck out of my way. I’m becoming convinced a little more everyday that anyone using AI to summarize articles or search results is a complete moron and shouldn’t be trusted.

Same energy as:

You know, I can eat a peach for hours.

So much safer to go one album at a time using Picard. Picard makes it easy to go down the list of a disorganized directory, identify most things automatically, allow in depth review and modifications to what Picard came up with, and standardize file naming. I’ve tried to let programs like Lidarr and beets automate it, but they always ends up causing more and more complex problems to discover and solve after awhile. Music releases are complex and sources are diverse, using distinct standards of form and format. It’s not a problem that can realistically be solved for my entire music library without the guiding hand of a librarian. I could listen to my library for over six months without repeating, even 1 album out of a 100 mis-tagged or misidentifyied could take me years to discover.

I do like to automate the less critical and more machine oriented library tasks like adding genres tags, replaygain, and lyrics as you do. Just not things like the metadata tags, file naming, or album art (embedded or otherwise).

This is a non-sensical question. On a social media service YOU are the product. You’re characterizing the content as the product. But the content is merely the advertisement or bait for users, who are the real product, being sold to advertisers and countless other organizations. Why do you think reddit started charging for API access? Same goes for ads on Facebook, Google services, Instagram, TikTok, etc.

Ironic typo

Is the word in English that you’re looking for rouse? Or rousing? As in “Julica rouses”. Or “Julica - rousing” so the dash makes sense again. There’s also Reveille or The Rouse for the morning bugle call.

I’m seeing this post for the first time, sitting at -30. I’m seeing it and yet it’s pretty heavily down voted. I’m not browsing by controversial or something like that.

Anyway, downvotes don’t really work the same way to hide unpopular posts the way you’re used to reddit doing. People aren’t enjoying it and are in fact still seeing it, so maybe just check yourself before getting hostile.

Wow, if the demo was too much for the developers to maintain that doesn’t inspire confidence in my patience to maintain it on my machine.

No denying that I often interpret things in a comically literal way. No offense taken. Farts are funny.

This comic wasn’t particularly funny to me to begin with. The above dissection is why. This toad was dead on arrival.

The punchline implies that assumption or parallel processing. It must because it’s inconsistent with the common rules of the myth. Wishes are commonly executed in series, not in parallel, which is impicit in the syntax of the first, second, and third wish. So that assumption of parallel wish processing isn’t even consistent with most of the language of the comic or with the final panel.

Wanna listen to a Midwestern nerd talk at length about how awful these kinds of devices are with respect to efficiency? I got you…

The Beach Boys album Pet Sounds. It’s old, but timeless. It’s not like any other Beach Boys album and probably the only Beach Boys album I have listened to repeatedly from beginning to end. Each song hits a little differently depending on where you are in life. It is the album I listen to when I’m feeling melancholy and I want to feel a little bit more okay about feeling that way by staring into the void instead of looking away. The mix of hope, joy, sadness, and existential dread are intense.
