Nastya came to Frankfurt and I gave her a copy of my new book. There are 14 pages with her and I wrote her a personal note of how much she inspired me. She almost cried and was so happy. It was really heart-warming.

ChatGPT continues to satisfy when it comes to easy-to-implement HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Working on some prototypes for some work I'm hoping to land, needed some simple counters to count up from a starting number to another number, use ease-out and an editable timing to slow down as it reaches that number, needed it to be triggered with an event listener so it starts when it's visible in the viewport, and needed the ability to place a $ symbol before monetary numbers, or a % symbol after percentages.
Had the code in less than a minute, dropped it into place, and bang, worked like a charm.
Any of you using it for this reason or doing anything far more complex as far as code goes?
- https://www.youtube.…utopian
- Love it! Did you see that video where they input a pic of a whiteboard flowchart and it spit out a working a prototype? So coolnb
- @nb that is fake.sted
- it really is great for writing functions that i know I will spend 4 times as long debugging if i wrote it myself.BabySnakes
- Keep feeding it. It will feed your replacements. Half-coding is leading to full-coding, and human irrelevance. This has been projected for about a decade.garbage
- feeding it? it reads all the code examples and docs already online.BabySnakes
- i think this type of query is only useful for QC. do a search on some random lines from that code you will probably find a stackoverflow comment or a git reposted
- @snakes Not that simple. Any ML or GANs system requires successful input that results in passable output.garbage
- It's in the name. You feed it more input, and eventual result is the replacement of the creator. "Generative Adversarial Network".garbage
- Those engines are training engines we haven't even heard about, and they will be beyond Adobe-level subscription levels.garbage
- This conversation started a decade ago, and you'd have sounded insane about suggesting UBI, but it should have been where you put your votes.garbage
- I don't care how good you are at what you do, you will be replaced in the near future by something that can do your day's work better and faster.garbage
- TL:DR - AI isn't neat nor new.garbage
- lol @ "it's in the name." GPT = generative pre-trained transformers. Not a GAN.kingsteven
- I do all my coding in Cursor now which is a fork of VS code with GPT built in. It is shit but saves me a lot of googling. Can't even imagine the current gen AIkingsteven
- is a threat to anyone, it just saves time organising and copy/pasting (which is not coding!)kingsteven
- great for SQL, boilerplating and small apps for data conversion etc + and great for learning new things - it's just google with less steps.kingsteven
- I don't know where you took a wrong turn, but I never said GTP was a GAN.garbage
- The positive feedbacks are 100% feeding privatized GANs engines, and if you didn't know this years ago you're behind the game.garbage
- Anyone using Sensei on CC has been training their replacements for about a decade. This isn't conspiratorial, it's happening.garbage

I finished another feature script this morning before work. I have one more script thats on page 45 with 45 pages left to go and I can’t wait to jump back into it. Both of these scripts I started in mid January.
Then I’ll have 4 low budget feature scripts completed (2x for >300k and 2x for >200k production budgets )that I can package for 1M and shoot consecutively with the same crew, shared resources, and some if the same cast. I have some decent cast attached so far and a financier that’s interested but I gotta close the deal.
I’m just so excited to keep pushing.

This is the first Easter.. possibly ever.. that I've recognised the exstence of somewhat in advance. Usually it comes up as a dark surprise to fuck my schedule and expectations.Because the kid's in school, I am now acutely aware of upcoming holidays and such, however this year it would appear that roles are reversed and it's my clients who've been blind-sided by Easter's unexpected appearance. Oy vey.

Very slow weeks, work-wise, everyone is on vacation for holy week and easter now (6 projects stopped right now)... but also elections time, regional and EU that paralyze everything...
Except for the money issue, everything is going well, but there is always THAT black cloud that doesn't let us live in peace.

Went to watch comedian Jerry Sadowitz here in Leeds last night. Fuck me, he really doesn't have boundaries. There's nothing off-limits, but he openly says he's too far into his game to change his routine and accepts that it'll get to the point where he won't get anymore gigs. (He did suggest maybe adopting a ventriloquist routine to make the character-play more obvious).
It's important to understand there's a character he's playing and all the racist, misogynistic, homophobic bollocks he spews is all in the name of comedy. He really was amazing, although you could see certain parts of the crowd were the 'you can't say anything these days' sort - totally not understanding the fact that being racist just isn't acceptable - ever!
- His show got shut down in Edinburgh last year because some of the young staff at the venue couldn't handle it.PhanLo
- yeah, like he wasn't gonna talk about that haha. But watching it, i did think 'yeah, i see why they'd not like it.'Ianbolton
- But then, imagine accidentally seeing Jerry Sadowitz, not knowing what he's like. It's pretty racey stuff!Ianbolton
- My mate went to the first show and thought it was good, but for a young person he's probably too wild now. Strange young people are usually pushing boundariesPhanLo
- His stuff is pretty bananasPhanLo
- His jokes about Diane Abbott were fucking awful, but the delivery was so amazing you couldn't help but laugh. But yeah, totally bananas!Ianbolton
- Guess they are pushing boundaries by saying 'i can identify as whatever i choose'. Whether that's right or wrong, who knows.Ianbolton
- Comedians aren't the ones pushing boundaries... it's the fucks whining that he's 'broken them' who have set 'boundaries' in their own narcissistic heads.PonyBoy
- I saw him in Dundee on this tour a few weeks ago and yes, he was still brilliant, it was the EIGHTH time I've seen him too, I am sick...Gardener

Remember when you could smoke in restaurants and bars?
- some countries still let you do that.pango
- which countries?uan
- some restaurants in japan is still ok to smoke indoor. china too.pango
- There is a bar in our town where they allow smoking after 12 at night.OBBTKN
- I remember going to a pub in SF where you could still smoke, it was an Irish bar that would show Celtic games, was strange seeing Scottish teams on the wall.PhanLo
- A pub I was in last year in Denmark allowoed smoking too. I don't smoke thoPhanLo

Welp, started university for "applied design" which includes things like design thinking, aesthetics, but more importantly creative entrepreneurship and ofcourse ui/ux. Being self taught I thought I'd see if there are any gaps to fill so to speak. Was daunting at first considering I don't even have a year 10 certificate but it's been fun so far, and the lecturer is an amazing illustrator. His style has brought back a lot of fond childhood memories. So far so good.

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
- Thank you Ian!mg33
- Nice. Please give us more.Longcopylover
- ^ Thank you! Hoping to finish a 7-8 song album this year. Laid off recently so it's nice to have time to focus on it more.mg33
- that's pretty damn awesome mg33... cool use of chatgpt, and excellent music to boot :)exador1
- I've been trying to think of a way to combine chatgpt and figma... i know lots of others are in this space as well, but it just seems like an interesting space.exador1
- Next thing is ask ChatGPT how to fix SSL.zaq
- exador1, I've been thinking of Figma plugin ideas lately as well.mg33

Any of you with middle school kids, learning Vex Robotics stuff? My Friend's daughter was explaining to me and its really cool they have the access to this type of stuff in schools now.
She was just bummed that her class partner wasn't letting her code much, and as a developer i can't let that stand. So i was looking in home tool options.
- a friend's kid is on the team. prohibitively expensive, though https://www.vexrobot…imbecile
- ya the hardware is expensive, i was curious about the VR dev testing, might be enough.BabySnakes
