I am in no way saying that this is cheap but 300 TB will set you back a little less than $6k with tax. Very attainable for people other than OpenAI and Facebook. And it's not crazy at all to snag a server with enough bays to house all those.

The cost of rest of the hardware, running it constantly, and 'admin' overheads aren't to be scoffed at to be fair.

This is where ChatGPT shines. Just ask it to write you a script, it'll give you all the instructions.

I've used ChatGPT to write a whole bunch of playlist logic scripts (e.g. create a playlist that takes tracks from playlists A, B and C, but exclude tracks in playlist D.)

I worry about potential bans from scraping files through this sort of thing.

I just want to be able to backup my playlists. Maybe thats possible but last time I looked I could only find sites that wanted your login, not gonna happen.

Exactly the same here, I just wanna back up my playlists and liked songs, in an organised and tagged manner, at a non-potato quality.

what.cd was the world's greatest music discovery mechanism. You could always ask for recommendations in the forums or in the comment thread of the albums pages. The community always delivered. I miss that type of camaraderie. I also spent more on music as a member of that community than since it has been disbanded.

OiNK before that, too. Once waffles and what disappeared then I was never 'able' to get on to one of the newer ones… the whole process is some real archaic thing. Used to have a great 'profile' on those others, but yeah.

I think it would be very beneficial if the browser vendors, together with screenreader vendors and those who use them, were able to come together to actually unify the approach to how elements/these attributes/etc. are communicated to the end user.

Raise your hands if you don't use Cloudflare in your stack and are proud of your decision.

You are the future of the operational internet!

I have it pointed at my domains just for basic stuff and luckily that seems to be working at least.

This reminds me of Quake with the DeFrag mode "sub-game", but also gameplay available in Quake Live in which you could have a Railgun only match, but they could also behave like Rocket Launchers for rocket jumps.

Also allowing players to change the configuration of their game through the dev console was cool. My favorite visual change was to configure the railgun trails to persist for multiple seconds.

Railgun trail to match the reload time, always!

Will hop over to one of these the day that the AAA multiplayer titles I want to play are supported. I know it's down to the anticheat, but I still wanna play 'em. Hopefully Valve are able to push that forward.

It is truly stupid that they are trying to make it more human-like. They should have added a radio button to turn off these sort of customizations because it doesn't help some of us. Just pisses me off. It is supposed to be an answering machine, not some emotional support system.

I'm on the hunt for ways (system instructions/first message prompts/settings/whatever) to do away with all of the fluffy nonsense in how LLMs 'speak' to you, and instead just make them be concise and matter-of-fact.

fwiw as a regular user I typically interact with LLMs through either:

- aistudio site (adjusting temperature, top-P, system instructions)

- Gemini site/app

- Copilot (workplace)

Any and all advice welcome.
