The eternal red flag of a DB UI that tries to support wildly different backends explains a lot of the problems. Many sane and powerful Postgres features can't be used because Directus also needs to support SQLite, for example. Views not properly supported, search features inadequate, graphql DSL with arbitrary limitations, a lot of weird or dysfunctional relational patterns when something much simpler would do... it's a parallel, inferior system on top of stock pg that is very frustrating when used at some depth.
I think part of this is the genuine benefit of social media, it's used for education, connection, political organization... not quite the same as a cigarette. You can pick any emotional or moral response you're having from it and cite some aspect of its multifaceted nature to bolster your position.
> The Syntilay company used Midjourney AI to create the basic shape of the shoe, after which an artist drew a sketch based on Midjourney's creation. That image was run back through Vizcom AI to produce a 3D computer model. After that model was created, generative AI was used to apply the patterns to the model, to give it some character.
I assumed this was going to be a functional evolutionary algorithm to make an efficient shape, it's just an image generator and an artist in the loop
Words that begin with a consonant cause me to repeat that initial "ka". If I try to suppress that, it just gets worse. Due to that, I try to find words that say the same without a starting consonant, resulting in odd word usage that distracts from my points. Something kind of bad, if I'm angry, I do not stutter, so if I really need to express something I generate an anger to say it; not at my audience, but just will an angry state of mind and then I can speak without the stutter. People that know I stutter, but not my angry means of not stuttering, get surprised.
Yeah word replacement is exhausting, and it does feel like the two fluent states for me are extreme relaxation and a very specific amount of localized stress. Lots of... unnatural pauses. Sometimes warmup sounds like "uhhh" that can inject a kind of vowel before a word. Have you tried listening to an AI version of yourself speaking fluently? I have and sent it to some friends – one of their points of feedback was that the cadence isn't like mine. My cadence is built around stuttering avoidance!
The 11labs agent product is promising but very buggy, I was glad to see some of those issues in your implementation as well. The agent often drops out and comes back randomly after long stretches of silence. They also seem to be running some kind of half-functional censor on the llm output when used with Gemini 1.5. It also bills 500 credits for any time < 1 minute, not the aggregate use.
Thanks for the feedback - What do you mean by the censor? As in safety moderation? For this specific agent I had to prompt it very carefully to makes sure people wouldn't ask Santa for anything dangerous :)
Billing component is noted, round-up doesn't seem fair. Let me check this.
Thanks. Censor – it's hard to say what's happening because it's not even carried through in the transcription, but the agent will say one word at the start of a natural sentence and then stop talking. Seems to only happen with Gemini.
No, practices like time restricting eating do more than that, into autophagy, insulin exposure, diurnal effects, SIRT1 and AMPK, and on. You can eat an equal amount of calories in a smaller window of time and see benefit.
Reminds me of the DMT "machine elves" that appear in hallucinations to westerners that have been exposed to those ideas, whereas indigenous ayahuasca experiences tended to materialize more naturalistic visions like animal spirits, etc.
My wish is for one UI that specializes in one database like Postgres. These database engines are so powerful now, but generalist UIs can never take advantage of the specializations. Directus et al have the same problem.
I agree - generalist UIs definitely won't be able to make full use of all specialized features. WhoDB is majorly created for fast developer experience when working with multiple DBs (or even for a single one). I think each database company usually has a specialized tool that they have made themselves (pgAdmin is a good example of that).
