I don’t know if it fits all the prereqs of a FOSS, but there’s mycroft and there’s also jasper

But I have no idea how advanced they are, or how good their 3rd party integrations are.

Marc Andreessen is too low there.

Musk is a clown that says vile and stupid thing. An useful idiot for others Silicon Valley VCs.

Andreessen and Thiel (and too some small extent Luckey) are in the background trying to push for far right libertarian dystopia.

Andreessen is the guy who kept pushing for web 3.0, trying to dominate it before it becomes big, so that he can monopolize / become a new digital libertarian govt, but of course it got hijacked by scammers, and states like Russia or North Korea, but he doesn’t give a flying fuck.

Thiel of course is far right financier. There’s a reason why they try to hide in the background.

Subscription only makes sense if there’s an ongoing service, e.g. processing in the cloud, cloud data storage, etc.

Apps that don’t need to be subscription:

• Camera apps like Halide or Filmic Pro, wtf
• Any todo / habit apps, the ‘cloud’ part is usually iCloud / Google Drive
• Notetaking apps, e.g. GoodNotes, wtf
• Duolingo, mainly because the contents of some lessons are outdated (missing audio, etc).

I could see people who became deaf-mute using it. Apple has Personal Voice for iOS that allows people who are losing their voice to use it to connect to their loved ones.

I just have hard time trusting EA.

I remember when Joe Rogan was getting giant paycheck from Spotify promoting antivax stuff, and people talked about moving to Apple Music, but it feels like many just stuck with Spotify.

I came across a post on instagram that says that Al Yankovic’s 80 million stream on playlist only netted him enough money to buy a sandwich.

Also, Spotify underpaying artists, making fake playlists with cover artists to undermine artists, are not new. It feels like the mainstream crowd just doesn’t care, which pushes me further into depression.

why did I misread that as AutoCreamPie?

I use BiasFX2, and it’s pretty okay for me. The tone cloud seems to be lacking of content nowadays (maybe it’s harder to search)

If you wanna use opensource + deep learning amp simulators, there is Neural Amp Modeler I’ve never used it (even though I downloaded and it’s sitting in my folder for a year now), but it seems like you just need to feed it with the wav of the guitar tone you want.

I mistook Larry Summers as Larry Elison (ex Oracle) previously and made a comment that it gone from bad to worse.

I’m retracting it, I don’t know much about Larry Summers.

I remember reading about Cruise flooding cities with their robotaxis like 3-4 months ago, and their cars breakdown / creating traffic jams

I really hope there’s stricter regulation about it.

ECM = Experiencia cercana a la muerte. Basically NDE (Near Death Experience)

• “Vi el futuro de la humanidad” = “I saw the future of humanity”
• “Estamos más vivos que nunca, al otro lado” = “we are more alive than ever, on the other side”
• “Estaremos con los nuestros en otra vida” = “we will be with ours in another life”
• “Hay esperanza nunca morimos” = “there is hope, we never die”

Just based on the captions / titles, this seems to be a channel about Near Death Experience.

From my experience with other channels about NDE (I don’t know about this one), It’s less about encouraging suicide, but more of providing some spiritual comfort, that when you die it’s not complete void, and about how some people becoming better person after experiencing NDE, e.g. ego death.

NDE is of course, from recent article that I read, mostly about neurons firing trying to recall moments (thus life flash before your eyes). But if it provides comfort for those who are anxious about death, it’s so far harmless. It’s not as bad as antivax / alternative healing (yet).

Eventually you and I will be curious of what would happen after our death, and people talking about seeing their lost loved ones during NDE, being engulf by warm light, are source of comfort.

I don’t believe in those. For me, there’s no second chance, no reincarnation, no afterlife, no spiritual stuff, just complete void, no consciousness, and no need to deal with another shitty human in life ever again, which makes me excited about it.

Wasn’t he just got fired like yesterday?

Yes, it’s quite crazy. I found archive of old comics, the entire series of Outer Limits (1995), all ScummVM games, tons of ROMS, and books, a lot of books.

The spoiler is that, you still need to read / watch 1500 chapter / episodes before even knowing what’s one piece is.

I enjoy using Obsidian, mostly because it’s faster than Notion, and it’s one of the few Notion alternatives that has good and fast table editing support.

Yes, I love billy and bunny, and all those speech buttons.

Yes, this is very exciting, and AI that’s being used for a valuable research.

I wanna be able to talk with cats, raccoons, possums, and (worship) octopuses

you can try kissasian dot lu only registered users can download it, usually I use MP server

I believe from what I read is that some of these driverless car companies in the US are releasing their fleet, flooding the street 24/7. Some of them will take up parking places, cause traffic jam, or just stall in the middle of the road.

Maybe it’s different in the Europe, where there’s stricter regulation, since from the comments here, many who are okay with driverless car are mostly from European countries. Unless if you own stock in those companies, then there’s incentive caused bias.

Just like how drugs need to go on multiple clinical trials before going on the mass market, I believe that if you want driverless vehicles, a lot of testing is needed.

But this is not testing / gathering data phase, Cruise has 300 cars at night, 100 during the day in SF, while Waymo has around 250 cars. Again, this is not testing phase, there’s no driver to safeguard in case things go wrong, these are actual driverless taxi that charges people.

The main rationale of these companies is not to bring a safer environment with driverless cars, the main rationale is how to get rid of gig workers that causes problems to Uber or Lyft, problems such as demanding living wage, proper employment status, unions, etc.

If you want to look at a better approach, maybe look at how Singapore is doing it

• it’s operated by SMRT and SBS bus, which are regulated and owned by government
• it’s self driving bus
• “drivers will remain essential to the operation of autonomous vehicles even when these do take off, although their job scope will change”

So if you wanna support, maybe don’t support what Cruise is doing, but more of what Singapore is doing

• it’s still highly regulated
• it’s a bus, it’s a public transportation, so it still helps in tackling climate issues.
• it’s not being used to fire workers,
• there’s still failsafe, the drivers are standby, in case the bus goes haywire
