Same here, that's the main value I get from especially music streaming services: I hear about anartist, and can immediately go check otu their discography.

i find the writing style a bit peculiar at times. Take this lecture on bloom filters for example: https://academa.ai/lectures/bloom-filters It suddenly starts talking about URLs, but it never really sets up the idea th

This looks interesting, but I'm also getting to the point wherethings like the video having a clearly AI-generated voiceover turns me off a bit. Like, if you're excited to tell me about your product, tell me yourself.

I think you can be present in the moment, but still find value in a tool like this. I may not be "the norm" because I'm legally blind, but in some sense, a tool like this could make me even more present. I currently use my ph

Thinking completely selfishly, as a visually impaired person, I want these to succeed, because they can be a great assistive tool. And assistive tools being general consumer products makes them cheaper.

I feel like they do and they don't at the same time. The buildings may look different, but city center rents driving out a lot of small local businesses, and leaving the same brands everywhere.

It doesn't do great on recent events it seems. The amusement park Walibi Belgium recently announced a company called RMC is doing a makeover of their wooden roller coaster, so I did a search for "walibi belgium rmc", and it f

Then you become a poletician, though I guess that could also apply to lying to people who want to be lied to.

I'm curious whether people feel like UX could at all be a differentiator here. like, sure, i can build a very quick crud app with Ai in an hour, but there are lots of UX decisions that, if not prompted in the right direction, AI just h

I think you've just summed up late stage capitalism.

This looks interesting! I understand not wanting to put out a narrated tour as the video, but being visually impaired, i find video demos without narration, that constantly move around/focus on different things hard to follow. It still

It's unfortunate that this is necessary. It should be obvious that wearing noise cancelling headphones in trafic, including as a pedestrian, is a bad idea. I'm legally blind, so I have my own bias here, but I think people really o

If you just bell once or twice, and don't aggressively keep ringing, I'd never consider a bicycle bell in a shared space rude. I even consider it good manners, though as others have said, that varies between cultures. Being visual

It is a benefit if you're a stakeholder in those companies, or your friends are stakeholders and will pass on some of the winnings as a "thank you."

I guess? At least there you can review the plan, but is this planning mode any better at making architectural decisions than when you prompt an LLM and let it make the changes directly? (it might be, just not sure.)

I like this a lot! One thing I found as a somewhat experienced solver of cryptic crosswords, is that it was confusing that I couldn't just type an answer. I skipped the tutorial/lesson, because I didn't want an explanation o

This is an interesting idea, and I'd love to see whether people come up with interesting stories/imaginations with this, but I feel very strongly pushed to engage before I've even properly explored the platform to see the pot

I never considered the volume of output tokens from dev tools, but yeah, I like this idea a lot.

I can certainly believe that this is really an agent doing this, but I can't help that part of my brain is going "some guy i his parents' basement somewhere is trolling the hell out of us all right now."

This looks very neat indeed! Are there any plans to adding network limits? Like, you might want to avoid an agent running code that just requests a resource in a loop, or downloads massive amounts of data.

I think more important than worrying about people treating an opaque value as structured data, is wondering _why_ they're doing so. In the case of this blog post, all they wanted to do was construct a URL, which required the integer da
