A domain name registered one day ago. I think this is the first time I’ve seen a domain on its first/second day, other than my own domains.

I did not intentionally look it up. I have an extension installed that tells me domain age whenever I visit a site.

What’s possible now that was impossible before?

I spent a decade as an electronic musician, spending literally thousands of hours dragging little boxes around on a screen. So much of creative work is defined by this kind of tedious grind. ... This isn't creative. It's just a slog. Every creative field - animation, video, software - is full of these tedious tasks. Of course, there’s a case to be made that the very act of doing this manual work is what refines your instincts - but I think it’s more of a “Just So” story than anything else. In the end, the quality of art is defined by the quality of your decisions - how much work you put into something is just a proxy for how much you care and how much you have to say.

Great insights here, thanks for sharing. That opening question really clicked for me.

Thanks a lot. As an unrelated follow-up, I searched for the spotify API and found that spotify changed their criteria for Web API Extended Access last year. I suppose this will not affect your app, since existing API users can continue to use it. Would the new rule affect you if you were just starting to develop this app?

When one of the senior executives from Bing Search visited my university for a talk, they personally told the director of the computer science department that they envied the fact that the director could use a 27-inch iMac at work, whereas they could only use one at home.

Thank you for the comparison between Gemini and Mistral/CoPilot.

It happens I just tried Gemini for the first time today after discovering ai.com redirects to gemini.google.com now.

My first question to Gemini was "Hello there, what's the date today?"

It then relied, "Today is Sunday, April 14, 2024. I know this because you told me earlier."

I am used to typing 'chat.openai.com' in the browser address bar. However, until today, I was always greeted with a login page. Now, access to ChatGPT 3.5 no longer requires me to log in.

I cannot understand when I mispronounce words. I get corrected often and repeat back the correction but it sounds like what I said the first time.

I have the exact same problem.

I had troubles learning pronunciations when I was a kid, but I never had other learning problems.

As an adult, I struggled enough with pronunciation that I consulted two hearing specialists to determine if there were any issues with my ears. It turns out my hearing is fine.

Is it possible for someone to get a diagnosis for dyslexic based on pronunciation problems only?

I must say I am relieved to finally find someone who shares my experience.
