I built a thing! Song Radio style playlist generator that runs sonic analysis on a Navidrome server. Docker python app with AI LLM support to craft the playlist flow. Free and open source. And it bloody works! Shipping the beta tonight. (Pic showing playlist in Arpeggi iOS app)

@Meer_AIIT This is so great. I’m using it to set the tone in a few new chat threads. That last line about user self sufficiency comes through, it just gets out of the bloody way and lets you think and act

This guy on Reddit shared the exact prompt that makes ChatGPT finally give clear, accurate, to the point answers:

@Meer_AIIT @NikosinJunior This. It’s actually night and day. So good

@NikosinJunior You should try it first and then see the results.

You can just make things! I made this lil' 'Magic Lists' app for my #Navidrome server. "A FastAPI web application that integrates with Navidrome to create AI-powered playlists from your music library." github.com/rsynnot/magic-…

@kuaroo_ @TheCinesthetic I imagined in 10 years they bring out “Top Gun: Rooster”… Rooster leads a carrier squadron, has an impossible mission, has to get an old Mav back from retirement, and channel the ghosts of Goose and Iceman! Yes! I can feel the need for speed!

@TheCinesthetic When they re-release Top Gun: Maverick years from now, the NOSTALGIA will be INSANE!!! 🙌

Joseph Kosinski is absolutely goated for this scene.

@DesignResource_ @TheCinesthetic Oh it’s so epic isn’t it? Lieutenant Pete Mitchell. 80s. Danger. Iceman. I watched it with my cousins, all sat on our Dads’ knees. Love it

@nhallam Did you take that shot? Awesome opening scene or plot twist / vengeance scene from an action movie 🍿

One thing I’m determined to get to the bottom of while I’m in nyc is WHERE do all the jetskis launch from? Where are they stored? Whats the group chat name? Can I come along one day? 🥺

@M_Zot_ike @TheAIColony Genuinely curious to understand what you mean here?

@TheAIColony Broski, if your goal is to just prompt it… it can give you the same results with a much shorter version… it’s just an instruction. If you want novelty, you will need a better method. Something that forces the system.

This ChatGPT prompt is literally a $20K growth consultant.

Loving my ad supported experience in Google News today! This “ad collab” between Google News and @Broadsheet_Melb means I can read three whole words of the headline without clipping! So great! 🙃

@levelsio Yeah I noticed this. I came in hard like a people manager, told cursor to ‘watch it’ and stick to a few principles (eg keep database queries light, pull stuff apart in PHP), and things work a lot better now

I discovered Cursor made LOTS of duplicate functions while editing my functions, instead of using the one already existing to edit, it'd add a new one In JS they just overwrite like variables, so there was no errors! Probably due to context window limits of Sonnet 3.5 Anyway, I asked ChatGPT to find all duplicate functions (made CMD+F function list) Now it (obviously) works a lot better when asking Cursor to do something but I have to keep an eye out on duplicate functions!

@sebbyarrons STRAT

@MikSkuza Also if you’re making a Winamp skin, the standard text display is “…it really whips the llama’s ass” or something, right? Haha

Winamp 25 Widget (ex#1)

@MikSkuza This is like the new school ‘CSS Zen Garden’ ha

@inkko44 @sketch Had you ever used abstract for version control in the past? Do you feel the need for that now? If not, how do you handle versioning?

Officially switching to @sketch✌️

@jesseddy Jess! Keep posting on your site, and keep sharing it here! I love it, read it, and often share it with my team and the community. I do know they tightened the screws on ghost and fake accounts, so there’s an expected reduction overall?

I keep losing followers on this platform, and I think many people are leaving, which is fair enough. I will continue to write and share educational content. If you like it, please join me. I'd love to connect with my audience here. I've got some great content lined up for designing case studies. everydayux.net

@adriankuleszo Please try adding long life browser caching for your visitors, so they stop downloading the same images repeatedly :) stackoverflow.com/questions/1302…

How on earth a small site with 20k page views hits 400GB+ of bandwith and cost $250/mo to run? Seems extremely high for just 9k visits.

@theramblingfool @Matthewthewalk1 A symphony of thrift

Every man's worse nightmare came true for me today. For years I've accumulated all the cables I've ever had into a drawer-- you know the drawer. After years of collecting dust, I finally convinced myself I could throw away my VGA cables. A few months later, I need a VGA cable.

@chalaska That’s huge @chalaska, congratulations!! 👏👏

$160,000 in one month! I'm pinching myself 1 year ago I backed myself and never imagined I'd be anywhere near where I am now My own studio, fulfilling work, incredible team, making more than my last annual salary in a month Believe in yourself and others will too

@ethansuero_ Discovery

I’ve been freelancing full time for the last 6 years, and collaborated in multiple brand and website projects. If you want to start your projects with the right foot, steal my exact discovery session. Comment “Discovery” and I will send you my exact deck including all the questions I use on my real projects. Must follow, so I can DM you!

@nhallam Yeah but that’s not a bad thing… if your search is unobtrusive, easy to use and has the right details, that’s good, right?

But like everything else, when it’s done well no one notices shit

Spent the day designing a search experience from scratch which I haven’t done for a long time. Reminded me how search has like an outweighed importance in products
