    The World is Fucked

    "You're being targeted by disinformation networks that are vastly more effective than you realize. And they're making you more hateful and depressed."

    https://www.reddit.com/r/GenZ/co…

    "TL;DR: You know that Russia and other governments try to manipulate people online. But you almost certainly don't know just how effectively orchestrated influence networks are using social media platforms to make you -- individually-- angry, depressed, and hateful toward each other. Those networks' goal is simple: to cause Americans and other Westerners -- especially young ones -- to give up on social cohesion and to give up on learning the truth, so that Western countries lack the will to stand up to authoritarians and extremists."

    --

    Yes. And I think Western countries have already lost precious time to counter this, are they even doing something against it? Seems like no. Now add AI in the mix : we're fucked big time.

    Never-Repeating Tiles Can Safeguard Quantum Information

    Two researchers have proved that Penrose tilings, famous patterns that never repeat, are mathematically equivalent to a kind of quantum error correction.

    I'm kind of losing my mind at the awesomeness of Chat GPT and the ability to generate code with it. I've used it for code before, but this weekend wanted to work on an audio player for my music site. I can't tell you how many times I've looked for nice, minimal HTML5 audio players that were easy to customize, free, and MINIMAL. Let me repeat MINIMAL.

    Go look for Wordpress plugins for audio and it's so hard to find a minimal one. So many are multi-song playlist styles, cost $, are difficult to customize, or can only have visual pieces removed through CSS.

    I got a paid GPT account last week which opened up the floodgates of all the different GPTs that are available. Thought I'd see of one called "Code" could get me what I want. I've used free ChatGPT to create code before, but tried this one out. I'm sure they're all generally the same, but Code has a really nice conversational explanation of what it's generating.

    Anyhow... long story short, in about an hour yesterday I asked for the following, in order:

    1. Create code for an html 5 audio player that uses font awesome icons and consists of a play/pause button, a back button to the left, and a forward button to the right. I should be able to use multiple audio files.

    2. can you add a horizontal progress bar below the play buttons that can be styled with css?

    3. Add a numeric indicator that displays the number of the track being played before a forward slash, and after the forward slash, displays the total number of tracks in the player.

    4. update this code to change the pause button back to play button when a track is over.

    5. (Lastly, today) update the code above to let me pull audio files from a Wordpress advanced custom fields repeater. (the original code required adding urls into the javascript, which I didn't want to mess with on a regular basis.

    And here it is: www.theagelesssea.com

    Just a couple sample tracks there now as I'm testing it out, but I'm so happy to be putting more time into this project.

    • Great work. Really love the music. ChatGPT or AI couldn't make something as lovely as thatIanbolton

    • Get it covered with a bit of black tape. Makes street photography or shooting from the hip more stealth.microkorg
