I dabbled with AI music for a bit with Suno. Worked out well for the most part, only way I'm ever going to hear music with themes for some of niche things I like, like Shadowrun. I threw a bunch of music genres at it and some were good enough that I added them to my normal playlist but after about 30 completed songs I had a hard time coming up with new stuff. As someone who has never tried to create music myself it was fun to play with.

setup a desktop with n8n, ollama, open webui, comfyui, and aider. work is dragging it's feet on AI orchestration and workflow tooling so figured I learn it a bit to get ahead of things. just need some personal projects that are interesting enough that I'll pour time into them.

Wonder if android will scale up to a windowing interface for larger screens or will it be like samsung dex.

The cynic in me thinks that this is a way for bigger farms to gobble up smaller farms by calling in ice but knowing that they will be able to keep ice from raiding them unless a bigger farm pays to have them raided.

Phrasing matters. using "didn't" puts a bad light on FEMA but if they used "couldn't" it changes things. no idea which it is but i'd bet it should read "couldn't"

From my limited experience, former coder now management but I still get to code now and then. I've found them helpful but also intrusive. Sometimes when it guesses the code for the rest of the line and next few lines it's going down a path I don't want to go but I have to take time to scan it. Maybe it's a configuration issue, but i'd prefer it didn't put code directly in my way or be off by default and only show when I hit a key combo.

One thing I know is that I wouldn't ask an LLM to write an entire section of code or even a function without going in and reviewing.

Just want to say thank you for having a link for "as seen in" showing all the fake movies/tv where they are from.

My depth of stock trading stops at the buy low sell high level. Can someone explain a little more if you have time? What would have happened to those trades if splunk had went down 20%?
