The definition is a not good as a result since I blew it up for this post, but generally speaking is this cool, if no, why does it suck?
Would like to know:
Been collecting music since LimeWire, Napster, CDs, torrents, all of it. Over the years my library turned into a full on Westworld season two meltdown spread across who knows how many external drives, DAPs, and CPUs. Can I not have a clean DAP to listen to my cans for hours without editing my library. It was it like:
Tried every tool, but nothing handled a 70K track library without eating a week of evenings. So I ended up putting together something to fix it. After running it, I found out I only had about 9,000 unique songs. The rest were duplicates, variants, or low quality formats that were satisfying to turf for good.
It sorts everything deterministically, dedupes intelligently, and cleans the chaos without touching the audio. I also added a Hi Fi player because I wanted something clean, modern, and bit perfect on Windows for headphone listening.
Not trying to sell anything. Just sharing because a lot of us still keep local libraries and care about playback quality. If you have a partner, they probably think you are unwell.
Most importantly the DAPs is clean now and I can listen without editing.
If you want to see what it looks like, I put screenshots in the comments.
If you want to try it, I added the Microsoft Store link in a separate comment.
I’m not sure I remember a time that I’ve drank (even moderately) or did any drugs, where I felt great, but didn’t have a sneaking suspicion that I was stealing from my life in some way.
Thoughts on philosophical interpretations of alteration substances, or insight into the healthy implementation of these habits please.
Anyone taken the advice of “just be your genuine self”, only to find that people really hate your genuine self?
What’s your experience being your genuine self and regretting it?
If you now regret it, what are your new rules of behaviour so that you’re not fake but also not too out there?
Is there another way of looking at this?
Does anyone feel like they’ve taken the advice of “just be your genuine self”, acted on it and regretted it so many times - to the point that when you hear that advice there’s a knee jerk nausea in your stomach?
What’s your experience being your genuine self and regretting it?
Now that you’ve regretted it, what do you do? As in, what are your rules of behaviour so that you’re not fake but also not too out there?
Is “be genuine” on op?
With Internet searches for client lists or things to that effect, often I tell Claude to do a deeper dive, basically tell it to get more data. It often says something back like:
"that's a big task, real heavy lifting here"
(Um yes, that is why I'm using AI - I don't want to scour the Internet for data). Then it takes like 30 seconds and gives me back a weak and short list, or worse it tells me to pay for a list.
Is there a way to tell Claude to do the big jobs?
Is there a way to tell Claude to slow down and grind?
No matter how many refreshes, restarts, or updates, some chats just die and will not come back.
Has anyone else experienced this?
What causes this?
Any recommends on chat-death prevention?
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Is problem solving a frame of mind that leads to actual product/app success?
Many creators mention solves a problem as their reason for creating a product and as the driver of an effective product. I do wonder if that's actually what makes apps/products successful. How much time are people spending looking to solve problems vs enjoying life?
Here's a few alternative reasons that products are successful, some are variations on the idea of solves a problem:
It's likely that the above makes up the vast majority of traffic and spend, or at least enough to get more attention from creators. A lot of it looks pointless, mundane, maybe evil, but there is a lot of beauty to be enjoyed in those categories. Beauty and joy are the things people are willing to do nearly anything for.
So, why is there so much focus on the idea of solving problems in the mind of creators when people generally don't care as much about problem solving as they do about enjoyment or even destruction?
Curious to know how many people convert their CDs to their digital libraries, how they do it, if the process is painful, and most importantly, if they like the result. As in:
- Can you hear imperfections?
- Do you feel like your library is "protected"?
- Is the transcription quality equal to the CD?
- Does the album art on the case make you just a happy as the picture of the album art in the player?
- How good do you feel about not paying for them monthly/actually owning access to it across digital devices or is it more fun to play the disc on a disc player?
