Are you able to pull upcoming titles? All I want is a weekly/monthly list of books by authors I've ready which are coming out, and I've not been able to find it or to build it.

I like it, though I'm sure we'll end up being stuck with "vibe ware"

Thanks for sharing. This is exactly the type of utility that vibecoding is for. It takes 5 secons to ask GPT to write a scripr to do this tailored to your specific use case. It's way faster than trying to get someone elses repo up and

Riffs need a downvote button. I'm not sure what the team's training/eval approach is, but you need a user signal for poor quality results, so you can improve over time. ex: https://www.riffusion.com/riffs&#x2F

Hey, I'm a legally blind engineering manager (stargardt's macular degeneration). The accessibility community was hugely welcoming when I started to lose my vision at about the same age you are. I'm happy to talk through my ex

How do you see those two as being different? In my mind, products that make use of ML are using ML services as the back end. An example would be the recent wave of bot companies: many are not rolling their own NLU system but rather leveragi

You can check our SDK out at developer.conversantlabs.com. It's currently in a developer preview. Send me an email at chris@conversantlabs.com. It would be great to talk more. If our conversation in this thread is any indication, I thi

This really wasn't my intent. I sincerely apologize for communicating otherwise. I identify as blind or low-viz and wouldn't want to take away from others who also identify as such or as disabled. That line was meant to be a respo

I definitely agree with you that the last thing I would want readers to take away from this article, is that they don't have to worry about accessibility or universal design. Until we have better tools, we should be providing the best

There are a lot of professional developers who are blind. They use accessible IDEs paired with a Screen reader. Here is a good description: http://stackoverflow.com/a/453758/319013 In the future, I think there is

Sorry for the let down. I feel her pain. We're working on it, and should have something for her soon. Email is definitely high on our list of tasks that need a conversational layer.

You caught me :). It was great meeting you daughter! She seems to be doing great and taking things on with the right attitude. Feel free to email me anytime, if you ever need anything: Chris@Conversantlabs.com. Happy to talk through things

Absolutely right. We refer to this as the Scarlett Johanssonn problem. Any system that is smart enough to understand what we mean by the Scarlett Johanssonn problem, and the reference to Artificially Intelligent virtual assistants, would it

This has been commercialized. I'm not sure if it's based on the same research, but you can find it here: www.theaudeo.com (site currently down, but it was up a couple of weeks ago).

Justified paragraphs are mostly useful for text laid out in columns (i.e. Newspapers and magazines). This way when you are reading the second and subsequent columns, the eye can easily find the start of the line/column. Most blogs are

While this is true, it turns out the lack of buttons isn't as limiting as you might think. You may not have haptic feedback, but you still have the ability to explore the screen using your spacial/tactile senses. By touching the s

Unfortunately there isn't a good solution for this, especially on the desktop. You may have a much better time with an iphone/ipad/ipod touch. The interface is much simpler than a desktop, and VoiceOver is much easier to use
