Thank you for doing this <3 Love this showdown

[1] Nice, let us know if you need a hand

You can call our API to generate structured json from text using this endpoint (this endpoint is free of charge, but you need a free account to create an api key): https://developer.ideogram.ai/api-reference/api-reference/ma...

[2] Fal runs the text_prompt (natural language) through the magic prompt system, so indeed results should be good there

How does one use tmux to do this? I'm a tmux user for 10+ years, not sure what you mean by this, am I missing something huge?

Can I use it as a jellyfin client? Does that... make sense?

I bought a new tv (samsung s90d) and I haven't found have a great way to watch my jellyfin media. This tv doesn't have a jellyfin client in the samsung app store.

I feel like I'm being stupid here, would love some suggestions :P I've got a local jellyfin server running on a home server in the basement.

Woah, how did I not know about that tip about omitting the search pattern? Love it and will be using that lots!

As a thank you, I'll leave you with the way I learned to search/replace, just to give you a slightly different flavour: asterisk, cgn ([c]hange [g]o [n]ext), type replaced, then . (period, to repeat) until I'm done.

My friend is the first dev hire at a startup where they prematurely overengineered for scalability. The technical founders had recently exited a previous startup and their rationale was that it makes a future acquisition easier, since a potential acquirer will weigh scalability in their evaluation of the code (and maybe even conflate it with quality). In fact it was a regret from their first startup that they hadn't baked in scalability earlier. I remain skeptical of the decision, but curious if there's any truth to the fact that acquirers weigh scalability in their scorecard?

I did the same thing! We had a good laugh.

Making electronic music. Any recommendations for where to start?

Thanks for explaining this so clearly! I'm going to try this next time :)

Haha, yeah fair point. My comment does seem trite when you put it that way ;)

The point I was trying to make (which I think you understood) was that it was _surprisingly cheap_ to outsource. In the range of ~$100 for our entire collection.

I should mention that this project was undertaken because a relative's house burned down and, with it, all their family photos. So my comment is meant as encouragement for anyone sitting on a treasure trove of family photos who is thinking to digitize: do it! And to inform that this process that I thought would be very painful/tedious is something that can be outsourced for relatively cheap.

Just to share my experience: My brother and I recently digitized all our family photos. The process doesn't have to be so daunting. We found someone on facebook marketplace with a high quality scanner, and paid them to scan every photo and put it on a USB stick. I don't remember how much it cost but it was pennies per photo.

That fan art is incredible. I would love to read those!

Here's my very simple solution

Add this to your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc

alias alertme='printf \\a; sleep 0.1; printf \\a; sleep 0.1; printf \\a; sleep 0.1; printf \\a; sleep 0.1; printf \\a'

I add this after longish tasks - eg:

python longtest.py; alertme

seeddb; alertme

I use the reward system with a slight twist:

I'm not allowed to start a new project until I complete my current one.

Since I have a huge backlog of ideas, my "reward" for finishing a project is that I get to work on the next most exciting idea. Yay!

This forces me to keep the scopes small.

I'm allowed to rescope my current project to something smaller/imperfect after I've started (for example if I discover that my initial vision is going to take too long), but I still have to finish it before I'm allowed to start the next one.

One of the more striking examples I've seen of an absolutely banal AI response compared to a real answer

Weird thing... The links in that article are to totally unrelated pages on the same Vogue India site.

eg. the first link `pen` takes you to an article about therapy.

Anyone know why they might do this? Is it some SEO trick?

I just want to be able to disable future push notifications from the notification itself (long press). That's the biggest thing I miss about Android.

+1 for Mango Languages (available free with my Library Card)

It's very well designed. The spaced repetition is effective. The lesson order is sensible. The Romanian lessons have a real speaker narrating the pronunciation, compared to Duolingo's AI narrator, which was terrible for learning.

I tried Duolingo briefly but the over-gamification wasn't for me. Everything was about gems and lives, major turnoff.

My general infrastructure advice is “less is better”.

I found this slightly ironic given there are ~50 headers in the article :)

I liked the format of the writeup

Can you expand on the design sins of the Soundcloud app? I use it a lot and have never noticed anything particularly funky. I'm on iOS.

Re: WhatsApp - Oh my gosh - you are right! Thank you so much!

It's slightly annoying that it's not possible to set that to default, and I reckon a lot of guests won't remember or bother to change that each time, but it's great to know that.

We got some polaroids! :)

In this case I'm looking for a solution to saving memories of the entire week, not just the main event

I hadn't considered setting up two shared albums to meet people on their platform, so thanks for that idea!

Honestly this might be the way. As you correctly pointed out I'm concerned even a Google Photos/iPhoto shared album is too much friction for most people.

My dad recently donated an old ITT2020 he bought 45 years ago in Hong Kong to this one in Germany: http://blog.computeum.de/blog/

Since others are sharing their prompt-only solutions to get JSON, I'll share what I've been using. Has been working reliably:

"Do not include any explanations, only provide a RFC8259 compliant JSON response following this format without deviation.

{

  "author": "string describing the author full name",

  "year": "number describing the year the book was written",

  "isFiction": "boolean describing if the book is a work of fiction"

  ...

Sent you an email :)

Right. My brother and I discussed this out of curiosity and you're spot on. Prerecorded message is sufficient, and AI introduces too many wildcards.

But the biggest reason is that ethically, it somehow seems very wrong to trick my grandma that way.

Not sure why parent comment is getting downvoted though, it's certainly an interesting idea.

Yep, that's pretty much spot on :D

I never knew about ATA's! I think would have solved things a little more elegantly. Thanks!

In our case it was a landline, but yeah something like this would work if it was mobile!
