I have absolutely not idea how this will turn out. That’s the fun of baking. It’s the fun of basically having a test kitchen.

Don’t worry though, even my worst stuff is phenomenal, so why I was like “this is the worst thing I’ve ever made, I should throw it out and hide my shame” when I got over myself and bright it to other people several remarked “this is the best baked good I’ve ever had” while reaching for a second.

Well, after failing at multiple recipes multiple times, turns out that conventional mode is actually useful for the specific things I’ve been trying to make.

I think I need a new process here. I’m trying to make things gluten free and vegan, just cause I like the challenge.

But the side effect is that I’m really starting to learn more deeply how each ingredient works and what it is doing.

Now I just need to get rid of all these baked goods.

There were twice as many eggs in the brownie recipe, but there was also half the flour and a quarter of the fats. Of course there is a rather large difference between cocoa powder as a fat and pumpkin puree as a fat.

This is especially important for scaling a recipe. The trouble I’ve been having these last couple of days is structural: the bars that I’m making keep coming out way too dense and oily. When I sat down and compared it to a brownie recipe for a larger pan, I noticed some glaring differences.

The failure of a certain baked good I’ve been trying to make for the last two days has me wanting another similar piece of software. This one would take the a recipe and determine the ratio of the ingredients and compare them to other recipes, including information like pan size or yield.

The magic clips and AI stuff is cool and all, as is there in browser editor, but I expect the basics of having properly synchronized audio and video would be handled before these extra features.

Additionally, there’s no timecode. Modern browsers are extremely capable when it comes to audio and video, especially Chrome and Safari. We’re using browser based studios for more and more things. The fact that we don’t have timecode figured out is absolutely silly.

In a recent episode of @fallthrough.fm, @matthewsanabria.dev’s video was 3 seconds and 13 frames out of sync with his audio.

Having to spend time debugging this and then correct it is not what I expect from a professional tool, especially not one that costs money.

I can understand some synchronization issues when providing audio and video separately, but the synchronization issues exist in the combined audio and video they provide. This feels like an upstream problem, likely happening during capture in the browser.

There’s a persistent problem with the audio that I get out of Riverside where it’s 5 frames out of sync with the video. It’s easy enough to delay it in FCPX, but the delay is clearly visible in the AI generated clips they provide.

Even a modest delay between audio and video can be unsettling. Synchronization is extremely important, it’s one of the things that separates consumer and prosumer tech from professional tech.

So it’s really annoying that professional podcasting tools lack this.

In the audio world there’s Word Clock (which I often misread as World Clock 😂), which does the same thing but with audio sampling.

I think comparing Postgres and MySQL with SQLite is sort of misleading. I think SQLite is great but from an application development perspective they are wildly different.

If your app only needs 1 instance, then MySQL or Postgres is probably overkill.
