I had previously been impressed with Cursor, but Claude Code is some next level wizardry.

I know I sound like a broken record on this, but it is staggering how much better Pandora is at making playlists & "radio stations" with great music than Spotify.
I've heard so many songs in the past week that I haven't heard in years. Partying like it's 2009 😜

I’ve officially switched from Spotify to Pandora and I couldn’t be more happy. The variety, it’s way smarter at playing “similar songs” — and it doesn’t play the same ~30 songs over, and over, and over again.

My Baseball Card identification model is at 17,000 training images and about 200 sets! Think it’ll be ready for prime time in another month or so.

I don't know if I've been using Spotify too long or what, but my recommendations now, across multiple playlists, are basically the same 20-30 songs. It's getting super repetitive -- I wonder if it's because of their new reliance on AI and the AI lacking the "creativity" compared to earlier algos?

Officially shutdown my Mastodon instance this morning.
It was a good run but the majority of folks/creators/news orgs I follow are all here now, so BlueSky it is!
I'm still not *thrilled* with once again trusting a 3rd party company with my data -- but BlueSky has critical mass.

I recall when I wrote my own eCommerce Platform in Blazor, getting the Stripe integration for products & checkout took a week or so. Just syncing prices, items, getting the checkout flow and webhooks laced up.
Replit just took ~2 hours to get it working on a new project and it works perfectly. 🤯

On a lark I decided to spin up a L40S GPU instance on Digital Ocean to see if doubling the VRAM (24GB -> 48GB) would benefit my model training from the 3090 I have at home.
It did not. So, that's nice to know! Much cheaper to train for the time being until my dataset grows more.

Discovered yesterday my custom image tagger wasn't properly setting new coordinates when I was using the keyboard shortcuts to modify the bounding boxes.
Meaning I have to go back and fix about a weeks worth of images because the bounding boxes were all wrong and they were poisoning my model 😭

I get people are using the literal term, but can we perhaps differentiate "space tourist" from "astronaut"?
