Funny. Because I was not aware of that acronym and only saw "ELI8" when I prompted "explain like I'm eight years old".

I'm adding "ELI8" (explain like I'm 8 years old) to the end of my prompts a lot. It helps.

They talk a lot about speed in the article, but having tried out Sol today with Pi, 'medium' mode, one thing that stands out is that it's really ssslllloooowww.

It also defaults to 'low' mode for some reason. Can't tell if that's a step backwards compared to GPT-5.5 in medium mode so I'm sticking to medium.

Edit: just noticed it's spawning subagents in 'high' thinking mode.

Resist the urge to nitpick and accept that the poster simply means "a large number of high-profile companies".

How mind-numbingly lame. Just another dime a dozen meme.

Try German, too. I'm always amazed at the level of German writing, even by regular joes on forums and Discord, compared to for instance Dutch writing.

Oh lord no. That sounds like the way Slack does it, which is a damn mess.

I suspect it's from the staff she hired

While I appreciate her being so open about the financial side, one has to wonder:

> If we roll with the average Adsense income, here’s the bottom line: $14k going out. $4k coming in. Net loss, month over month: TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. That’s a lot to sink into a channel that is barely moving book sales and not getting me a TV deal. Simply put, it’s completely unsustainable from a business perspective.

Why carry on doing that for so long?

What works for me sometimes is to search for other people's playlists by using the keyword of a genre or a particular mood I'm after. Filter out the Spotify-generated ones of course. Usually after 20 results you start getting to the good stuff.

Also I've had some success doing collaborative playlists with random friends / acquaintances. A song I added would give them an idea for a song, and we take turns that way. A lot of it is rubbish, though. :-)

What would work even better is if Spotify had a way to search playlists containing a specific song!

This is a great idea for exploring new music. Lately I have had trouble doing that with Spotify -- too much I've already heard, or just stuff that's too mainstream/bland.

Great effort, love to see that the game preserved in this way.

However, for me, the nostalgia wore off quickly. I no longer have the feeling of immersion I used to have when I was younger; I've become numb to the magic. What I see is pathfinding, a graphics engine, a sound player...
