I used to be a radio producer for a well established music show in the U.K. It was fun!

Kendrick Lamar, Thom Yorke, Nas, Janelle Monae, James Blake, Anderson Paak. And Benedict Cumberbatch.🤪

I recently downloaded an offline LLM to use on a flight. I’m learning to code so it was useful to have, to ask basic questions I wanted clarification on, whilst offline. It worked great for my needs!

It was used at the bbc when I was there, and it was the most hilarious clusterf*ck in terms of ever finding documents. They just disappear into the ether, never to be seen again. Other than that, they’re fun to use!

Interesting. I’m curious what the dialogue structure adds. Do people feel it’s easier to digest info in the form of dialogue? To me it seems a monologue, without all those “right…” “yes!” pivots - which might well become annoying - would be equally effective?

I begin a 4 month coding bootcamp in September. Does anyone have advice on how to make the most of the experience? First 8 weeks is Python-focused, before the cohort splits into software / data / quality / cloud engineering specialisms. My background was prev audio production / editorial. I'm excited to begin!

I just finished Stanford's 6 week Code In Place course, which was Python. It was a lot of fun. I'm considering a mid-career pivot, to continue to develop what I've learned so far. I recognise it's a long ass journey, but if anyone has any advice on next steps, I'd love to hear. I'm considering a bootcamp or MA next.

Interesting exercise! Maybe I’ll give it a go at some point. Also, I love the footnote.🤓

If you were going to organise a debate around the implications of chatGPT and AI on the future of business (for a mainstream audience), who would you want to represent the optimistic and pessimistic sides of the argument - to produce a productive conversation? Optimist - Sam Altman? Pessimist - Mo Gawdat?

Any podcast gang know about Spotify/Anchor video episodes? Can the audio-only podcast be a distinct edit from the video+audio? I'm asking, because a client is interested in doing video, but we'd want the audio-only version to remain a more finely edited listen - than video allows.

I just read about Ausha are doing something similar for podcast discovery with their 'Deeplinking'. https://www.ausha.co/blog/technology-to-increase-conversion-rates/?utm_source=podnews.net&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=podnews.net:2023-01-16

Often I listen to music and think 'I know how that's done.' James Holden's Contains Multitudes begins sparsely, but within a minute it rips its way beyond the further reaches of my comprehension. A wild psychedelic tour of a musical idea. 🙌🙌 https://open.spotify.com/track/2aMLvHpLA3tctPo13sCNY7?si=3abd4fa2b9064

Interesting! I was initially thinking about Twitter primarily, but this is a very cool way of approaching it for Farcaster. So this is streaming platform specific, but quite nice from a discovery perspective.

Like a Linktree URL that can present the player of your chosen streaming platform natively? Wouldn't it make sense for a sub-streaming platform protocol, with a single root/location for a particular track/release, perhaps using ISRC or similar? There's probably not a lot of motivation to restructure from music ind.

What's the most social-native way of sharing music? I often want to share a track I'm enjoying, and end up using the YT link, as a streaming (subscription) - agnostic URL. But say on Twitter, this behaviour isn't encouraged with thumbnails not showing etc. So what's the best way? Could there be a better way?

Another one that - to my ear.... bangs sooooo hard. This time jazz trio Marcin Wasilewski Trio's 'Vashkar', released on ECM. I used to listen to a lot of bass-focused electronic music, and I find myself pulling very similar 'bassface' when I listen to this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQCZ5Zejghw
