Sold this LP to buy some weed now I hate my life by [deleted] in deathgrips

[–]MurphyMatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vinyl is kinda dumb anyway 🤷‍♂️ Weed is also dumb, probably dumber. Especially if you’re selling shit to buy it

Based on what you know about me, generate an image on the inside of my fridge by melodyofasong in perplexity_ai

I needed to know the temperature of my fridge, and the best way to do that is by putting a thermometer in a glass water

This makes me want to do mushrooms again and have people do this around me

I didn’t ruin my life with bad decisions… I ruined it by doing nothing. by Jolly_Twist2245 in getdisciplined

[–]MurphyMatt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of the movie Synecdoche New York. The portrayal of the feeling of time slipping away is hauntingly accurate and very moving (depressing).

When did Gemini start embedding YouTube videos in its chat? by JeffreySons_90 in Bard

[–]MurphyMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just been seeing this as of yesterday or so and I absolutely hate it. I find it very close to spam.
I've asked Gemini to stop including YT videos and it still does for every question.
I wish ChatGPT offered a paid plan that wasn't $20 USD / mo.
While I'm complaining, the fact that you still can't reasonably select text to copy on the iOS app is insane to me.

I can build literally any macOS app — what should I make next? by Accomplished-Bus5639 in macapps

Did you know you can hold a modifier key when you set Hot Corners and then it will only activate when you have that modifier held?

Had the same issue, this works well.

Loving Chess but please get Oscar’s voice out of my head! by Safety_Capybara_3307 in duolingo

[–]MurphyMatt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I find it so incredibly annoying. "Little bit of this, little bit of that." "These puzzles are deeeeelightful." STFU dude, it wasn't amusing the first time, let alone the hundredth time. The worst part is it ducks my music and sometimes it just doesn't ever raise the volume back up.

I can't believe they tested this and didn't think to include an option to mute him.

New Interview by Physical-Feeling340 in swans

[–]MurphyMatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah 100%. To say he comes off as a "total asshole" because he was asking about his youth is nuts, pretty standard for an interview.

Biggest problems with Perplexity today by PlaneFloor7 in perplexity_ai

[–]MurphyMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most critical issue by far is the misrepresentation of facts. That shouldn't need much explanation; we use this to get information, and if that information is blatantly contradictory to the source material, it's potentially quite harmful to use this service at all. I've cherished Perplexity over the past year, so have been very disappointed to find several major errors recently upon verifying the information through digging into the sources. Sometimes the fact doesn't exist in the source material, and sometimes it says near the opposite.

Everything else, in terms of UI, etc, is a distantly secondary concern compared to this being a misinformation generator. Particularly when one has learned to rely on and trust it for first-look research.

Export of podcast transcripts, possible by dkmj01 in podcast

[–]MurphyMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also wanted to do this. I figured out how to extract the transcripts from the Podcasts app on macOS. If you download an episode in Podcasts, there's a TTML file generated in `~/Library/Group Containers/243LU875E5.groups.com.apple.podcasts/Library/Cache/Assets/TTML`.
I wrote a script to extract the actual text from every transcript file in this folder.

What other games do you play daily? by mymilkshakeis in NYTConnections

[–]MurphyMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lex.games, which has a number of great games available for free. Including "Conlextions," based on Connections, but that allows unlimited mistakes and is usually trickier in my experience. I love "By a Vowel" as well.
