why isn't youtube's volume normalisation optional? ridic

I love how quiet EVs are. But I wasn't prepared for how noisy they get in the heat.

ah well, who gives a shit anymore 🇬🇧

Good to know there's no generative AI in this contentious "video to sound" software, as its webpage metadata says: > "Generate and sync real sound effects — ambiences, footsteps and transitions — directly on your timeline. No leaving Premiere. No generative AI. Premiered at NAB 2026." #ai

Occasionally I open LinkedIn and spend a minute. It gets too much so quickly. I can't decide if I'd rather be looking at Facebook instead. How did we end up with a "social network" like that? (no need to answer)

Bitwig 6.1 beta is out. It has spectral sample stretching, also this: "Reharm [mode] can also tweak your harmonics and reharmonize your sound. [...] Harmonics can optionally be quantized to Global Key, which shifts each harmonic toward the nearest Key step, using the project's Root Note and Scale"

far more important to “save” face than to do the right thing and undo this nonsense 🇬🇧

"We're having trouble making sure it's you" As in please try on every device you have, and eventually, after extra scans of your face and passport, it might just work. Or not. On the internet of 1000 cuts per day, you never know.

What kind of psychopath starts a "fix problems" help article with directions to "update your operating system"‽ Yahoo Mail, what a garbage fire.

why did he say “and that is why this ban must happen, and that is why this ban will happen”? so it hasn’t happened yet, and there’s a possibility for it not to happen? (wink, what could that possibly be) surely would have been done already?

I'd link to the Production Expert article where they argue UK freelancers should get Private Medical Insurance, and not rely on the NHS (and maybe consider setting up an Ltd because tax), which, despite the UK vs US larger point, I think is bad juju. But I've double-checked and it smells of AI slop.

“The capabilities of models like Fable 5 and Mythos 5 have the potential to do profound good for the world.” the potential. right. #ai

"these design improvements are just the beginning" :D if by that they mean they'll revert more of 26's abysmal looks, then I can't wait for it. already liking that the toolbars are solid again

LM Studio on-device AI is OK for small tests. Coding agents with a local model are a huge chore tho. Subtly broken. Tool calling hit/miss. Prompt processing / loading takes forever. Like, I get it, it's revolutionary, but why not tidy it up so things actually work? Makes Copilot look competent :|

Turns out if you have even a half innovative idea, some people one way or another will try to hijack it, or block it, and the defending takes up N times more energy than what it took to come up with it in the first place. Feeling dumb in life because of "obvious" things like this.

In my novel Wohpe one chapter is the pope encyclical about AI. The novel is from 2022 (pre chatgpt). Here we are in 2026 with the actual pope writing an encyclical about AI.
