Spotify Premium User Slams App Over Audiobook Feature
  • My ass probably could appreciate real performance if I was into audiobooks overall, I just like books as books. I'm not exactly happy about all content being replaced with AI slop. However I don't think spotify cares, if something is cheaper they will go for it, just like other corpos.

    Oh well I think they will be losing as well, people don't even really need the audio book providers anymore, since they could just do AI ebooks themselves if they just have the text ebook.

  • Those of you who did not graduate, why?
  • Started college at 2020 January. Information technology. I did well during the time I was there but whole covid thing just made me hate my school and like I needed change.

    We were going back and forth remote and in person classes, both of which were really bad in terms of quality of the teaching and I felt like if I am mostly learning from external sources and teaching sucks.

    I refused to attend in person classes due to covid risks despite it being kind of mandated so I managed to negotiate that I just study on my own and take the exams. And my grades didn't even get worse.

    I'm not the type of person to keep doing something I feel like is useless for a paper that might give me slight advantage for getting a job. Education itself is free in my country but I just hated getting more and more student debt to cover other my living costs.

    I decided "fuck this I'm just gonna get a IT job and teach myself and that's what I did. I wouldn't say that I'm at my dream job now but I feel confident I am able to progress on this career just fine despite dropping out.

  • It does but when you input error logs it does pretty good job at finding issues. I tried it out first by making game of snake that plays itself. Took some prompting to get all features I wanted but in the end it worked great in no time. After that I decided to try to make distortion VST3 plugin similar to ZVEX Fuzz Factory guitar pedal. It took lot's of prompting to get out something that actually builds without error I was quickly able to fix those when I copied the error log to the prompt. After that I kept prompting it further eg. "great, now it works but Gate knob doesn't seem to do anything and knobs are not centered".

    In the end I got perfectly functional distortion plugin. Haven't compared it to an actual pedal version yet. Not that AI will just replace us all but it can be truly powerful once you go beyond initial answer.

  • What do you personally use AI for?
  • I'm a bit disappointed to the practical uses, but I still get some value out of AI. I sometimes use chatgpt to tweak existing SQL scripts at work, and as a trouble shooting assistant. Also I use this tool ultimate vocal remover to extract stems from songs, mainly to make myself instrumentals to practice singing over. Those are really only things I do regularly, despite trying different self hosted AI tools. Most are cool but not very useful.

  • Have you ever encountered a joke edit of a movie while sailing the high seas?
  • Oh damn, 28 weeks is far better movie IMO though. Scarier, and the concept of rebuilding after zombie outbreak and having another outbreak despite safety measures is much more interesting than traditional zombie story.

  • Have you ever encountered a joke edit of a movie while sailing the high seas?
  • Not the movie itself, but once I downloaded 28 days later, and found Finnish subtitle for it cause at the time I still needed those. In the subtitles word "fuck" was translated to "hole bread" in Finnish. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruisreikäleipä Also at the end it said "Subtitles by your Dad"

    Other time I downloaded Children Of Bodom's Blooddrunk before release and got Bullet For My Valentine's Scream Aim Fire instead with file names renamed as Bodom's track names. IDK why but now I like both bands.

  • What things do you refuse to pirate?
  • Honesty as an aspiring indie dev myself, I wouldn't mind you pirate my game BUT I just buy cheap indie games on sale without not being sure if I'm going to play them any time soon. Best case scenario I found new favorite game, worst case scenario, I just payed 8€ (-the expenses from the store) to some developer chasing their dream.

    My wallet can take it and I like to support indie scene.

  • Vain joka kymmenes kesätöitä hakenut nuori vastaa puhelimeen, kun Annu Jantunen yrittää kutsua haastatteluun
  • Teen helpdesk päivystystä töissä ja sen myötä ensireaktioni aina kun joku soittaa, oli se sitten työpuhelin tai oma on "kuka helvetin vitun perkeleen saatanan perse kehtaa häiritä... " Perään sitten "No moikka mummi, mitäs kuuluu".

  • The activist who’s taking on artificial intelligence in the courts: ‘This is the fight of our lives’
  • You could use LLM like AI to go through vast amounts of combat data to make sense of it on the field and analyze data from mass surveillance. I doubt they need much more excuses.

    Case could be made tech bros have overhyped the importance of AI to military industrial complex but it nevertheless has plenty of nasty uses.

  • How do you justify continually using take out delivery services?
  • I hate it but I'm constantly burned out from my my work so getting delivery is pay to win solution to "I'm hungry". Funny thing is I'm actually good cook but just lazy. If I were to make something it would be better than usual takeout. I try to avoid it but still find myself doing it more often than I would like. Not daily tho.

  • Alternatives for Teamviewer,business use?

    Anyone got suggestions for alternatives to Teamviewer, business use? Needs to have: -unattended access -around 2000 hosts -4 or 5 people using it for support -cheaper than teamviewer -file sharing -as lightweight as possible -works on other systems than windows (not obligatory) -decent UI

    any personal experiences, even if they differ from these specs are welcome 🙂 Tried to look for alternatives, but so far nothing feels right for my use case.
