The Off Topic

Put your speakers on the porch tonight and play this song loudly:

it helped against Mars attacks, so why not against cicadas?

It’s just a huge mess to clean all the slime away afterwards….

I think perhaps a different “Slim” might work better.

Just want to share a small but interesting thing.

I had files (Lossy - AAC Files) organised in such a way that the Music files were there inside the Album and the Albums were residing inside the Artist. Later I deleted a few files and shrank the size so that I didn’t need playlists in different apps, yet it was easier to navigate. Now the problem is I haven’t thought about presentation in different players. So to solve this I have to extract every music file and paste it into a single folder.

It would take a significant amount of time so I thought I should use Claude since it is way better at producing code that actually works. Gave it instructions and asked to clarify if it had any questions. After clarification, it gave me a script that did the work in 5 seconds max.

It is so cool to see tech getting used in normal day-to-day tasks and making everything easier. I am a Computer Science student and I have a very theoretical and statistical view of AI/Data Science. This is the first time I used this to ease my task thus sharing this on the thread.

That strikes me as perhaps the best possible design for headphone driver research and development. It seems to permit rapid AB comparisons with a placement shift and a toggle switch flip. This might work for setting the perceived tone and timbre of the next generation (e.g., HD 600 vs. HD 800), or tweaking a single product with two options under consideration.

And, you’ll be the coolest kid in the cubicle too.
