btw while we're all here on #utau / #vsynth bsky, I would like to suggest that if you're an UTAU/DiffSinger user and want to get away from Fandom Wiki (and find UW2's technical issues difficult to navigate around), might I suggest UTAU Repository?

reading the visual studio code patch notes is nuts because like 90% of it is AI shit every time any time i ever bother to check it. what about features that are useful like omggggg

Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 2d

boost your user satisfaction and growth with this one weird trick (removing the shit everyone hates that you added for no reason)

r/SaaS
u/soasme
I deleted ALL AI features... and user growth went UP.

Everyone's busy adding Al to everything.
I did the same for indie10k.com but it didn't work.
I removed all of fancy Al stuff - Al coach, Al growth ideas, Al "personalized" advice - everything.
Guess what?
I see more registered users and higher retention.
That actually make me wonder why now i have one page with one button, without all that Al thingy, but it does better?
Here's my question:
Is Al feature actually helping SaaS grow?

It's a life-changing amount of money for an individual, but it's barely enough to keep the lights on for a company.

I also want to emphasize that the funding goal for Maghni is not much more than what I make as a tier 1 help desk employee in Canada, possibly one of the lowest paying tech jobs in the lowest paying market in the western world.

40k is fucking PEANUTS when you're building software.

2 - 3 years is an incredibly quick turnaround time even with a large team and infinite money, which Maghni DOES NOT HAVE

Quoting to say that if Maghni releases this year, I want everyone know that in the world of software, that's basically the speed of fucking light to build a complex ML-based music program from the ground up

My understanding of the Maghni discourse on my Twitter feed is "People shocked as thing that takes a long time is taking a long time, and this concerns them somehow"

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

PSA FOR MY USA BUDDIES WHO BUY JP GOODS: A THREAD

Be VERY careful which shipping method you use for your proxy goods.
If you use ECMS, proxy companies will charge you the tariff, HOWEVER, once it gets in the US, it gets handed off to 1 of 3 shipping companies for the final delivery (cont)

if you meant albums that sound like britney spears circus tho i will happily make that chart too

Gen @generalnuisance.info · 6d

"but gen, love is a compilation album!!" love was literally made for a beatles themed cirque de soleil tour it is the most circus shit ever, you could not get more circus if you tried

also the remix of "for the benefit of mr kite" fuckin goes

Gen @generalnuisance.info · 6d

im gonna take this to mean albums with a theatrical/dramatic flair and a lot of tricks up their sleeves and not just albums that sound like britney spears' circus

some of these are more campy circus and some of these are on some cirque de soleil bullshit (in the case of love this is literal)
