> There are many awesome APIs in the world ...and not enough people are taking advantage of them. So this is my wish : Not more and more APIs, but a better use of what we got. How ? Better no-code …

This is not a reader mode. You are literally building a beautifull ‘Read it later" app [1] around a reader mode, or is it a "News Reader" app? You choose. If you position it this way, I…

You can still be gratefull for being able to be mindfull of your (slips of) "ungratefulness" (and seeing the need to work on it) Mindfulness is key.

Fermentation is a wonderful demonstration of the advantages (efficiency...) of working WITH nature and not AGAINT it. I’m more excited about the potential of this “gentle” natural process than about t…

I'm grateful for being able to be (genuinely) grateful. Seriously. Every time I see people who could not help themselves being so thankless/unmindful/ungrateful, I'm grateful for b…

I Know Samsung (n1 in smartphone market by size) has DEX [1]. It does what you want (theoretically) you can alternatively combine the Tablet + Desktop part with something like a Windows surface pro. I…

> it's sad it lost the streaming war pretty soon. There is a place for both: Streaming services and DB/SN sites. they don't have to be the same. I even hope for more segmentation (an…
comment
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the market for musicians’ audio software and hardware is underdocumented. Despite this outstanding explosion (especially software), I fail to find "insiders"…

> Even a random recommendation system would be able to surprise once in a while. True. And because there is no way to "measure" the quality, if you say it is now horrible your you, I'…
comment
++1 I believe we should be humbled by how deep the "elite" of some older civilizations may have understood "themselves" and "the human condition". We need to see through …
comment
Because they don't need to: They chose machine intelligence (= The Echo Nest, ) over unreliable Human tagging (= Last.fm) Also, Spotify now has the data of more than 400 million active listeners.…
comment
> failed to capitalize on early innovations. CBS really screwed this up. To their credit they kept the API alive, so other could somehow innovate with the data.
comment
What you are talking about (simple statistical aggregation) may be true 10 years ago. Deep learning is truly different. I'm not saying it is "smart" or listen the way we are. But is not…
comment
This is Spotify’s list of "genres". To be fair (and more exact) Spotify data scientists detect patterns in the audio spectral features and use them to manually create/add new genres. Th…
comment
This is more of a Business BI/Analytics low-code solution than a personal no code one. But you indeed took a similar dataflow approach, which could be considered "unique" in BI/Ana…

> Do you know anything about the whole life cycle of solar Unfortunately, No. And it is indeed a dilemma. If you don’t invest, you don’t grow. However, if you invest early, you may be creating a lo…

Many of you surely remember Technorati. It was one of the first popular RSS blog aggregators. was it a directory too? I forgot. https://web.archive.org/web/20080529000125/htt…

IMO for specific subject matters (browsers, protocols), you will easily find the best history of the internet on...the internet. It will be more specific and up to date (and not just the usual origins…

It depends on how the recommendation system defines its music genres. Spotify uses audio spectral features to automatically delineate tracks into styles. Last.fm and RateYourMusic (who added recommend…
comment
Last.fm has a lot of these "Human recommendation" mechanisms. they are just kind of indirect. For exple, those humans could be - People with whom you share recent top artists -> the "…
comment
Yes! these read/write, and reference/recall ratios are good measures of how we should do things. the article case is only valid for a certain range. Maybe, for you, a system like mem.ai [1] …

> What is the biggest challenge for solar energy? If you factor in all the cycle energy (making, disposing, replacing…), What is the real current total energy balance of solar energy (versus others…

All these are neither recent (they are updated though) nor AI related. Here you go : If you are new to dev, I like "think python" If you are already into programming, I personally find sifti…

Permanence is my concern with the indie blog hosting services mentioned here (bearblog, prose.sh, nicheless.blog) Also, because you already have a lot of the content, maybe you don't need a blog?…
comment
> are about _the PKM_, rather than the knowledge captured This is because engaging with information ("to note"...) is such a basic human activity. So, you have to abstract to a higher lev…
comment
I suggest you add this recurrent todo to your current todo app : "experiment with todo app X" Trust me: maybe nothing short of actually using at least a dozen of them for some time will help…
comment
Conversational Computing is just not ready. Even a better AI, alone, will not solve it 100%. But because of the 2010s meteoric rise of FAANG (in the public imagination and stock market) they think the…

I agree. I'm also not satisfied with the quality in this domain. Here is why I think it is the way it is: - The contours of this domain are very fuzzy: What are we talking about here? the fact th…
