When I was in high school our amateur jazz band went into a recording studio to make a fun keepsake album. My memory is fairly hazy, but the whole experience was a lot of fun! Everybody got their microphones and a headset. Maybe we recorded by sections and likely with a metronome track.

When we finished we got to go watch the sound guys at work. They meticulously gridified and autotuned every note. After it was all over I got the cd, I listened to my favorite tracks that I got to spend the semester playing with my friends, and it had no resemblance to what I knew our group to be. I think I threw the album away.

Hi! Looks really good, but could you explain a bit more what exactly you're doing here?

Straight Story is such a pleasure to watch

I see duckduckgo provides an easy iseven() service as well

It’s like parroting the king in the royal courtroom but for the 21st century. Look what happened to Spain as a warning, next thing anyone knew, one day their whole country woke up talking with a lisp.

So can someone explain how this is different/superior to Raptor RAG? I don't have the current concentration to figure it out for myself...

I noticed your “jump to” function is 1 indexed >:(

Let’s say they do alter the price based upon demand (which it sounds like they won’t do at a granular scale like the other commentators are suggesting). It will punish customers who come later, but reward early customers who buy in bulk. Imagine scalping ice cream in a parking lot on a hot day! But seriously, i would like to see non linear scaling of prices for people who buy a lot at once, for scarce items. Everybody gets a little seems like a more moral way to handle scarcity, but Walmarts new pricing system won’t handle this. Oh well. Overall though still a fun development.

Interesting take! I like how the app embellishes the real world rather than replacing it. What’s more interesting is that old me would like this app way more than young me.

When young me had wanted to date and was lonely enough to use an app, just seeing an attractive person in real life could be stressful and therefore awkward if it felt like a high stakes, rare opportunity…something this app would make worse.

However, to older me who doesn’t care anymore but would want to meet an interesting somebody, no stress, this app could make a great ice breaker. A neet niche you’ve found!

How do you deal with partial matches of interests?

Searching for jobs in ML/NLP, I’ve seen many companies specify they want 5+ years experience in both natural language processing and 5+ years experience in neurolinguistic programming. Always gets a laugh. The poor job poster. Knows they need nlp, and there’s this thing called neural networks, but can’t quite understand what all these acronyms are…
