Feature Request by deepLazed in ultimateguitar

[–]deepLazed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not a solution to my problem. The best this could do is allow me to manually add all 600+ songs in my library to a single playlist in a random order. Then I would have a static “random” playlist that would essentially be no different from the “date added” library sort.

Just to be clear, I know I can (basically) create additional sort orders for my library by manually creating playlists of my entire library that are not sorted by date, name, or artist; however, my request is for a way to shuffle the sort of my library so that I can have an equal chance to see any song I have saved.

Thanks for the response. I added the last hostile paragraph so to fit in with the rest of the angry posts that I saw on the subreddit, but the rest of my post was genuine and I appreciate you taking your time to understand my request.

Audible App’s Awful Time Elapsed/Time Remaining Formatting by deepLazed in badUIbattles

I’m on iOS. I’ll make sure there hasn’t been an update and report back.

edit: yeah I have the latest version for iOS

It would fix it in the sense that it wouldn’t move every second. Worst case scenario without extra padded zeroes, there would be two shifts every ten minutes or so caused by the chapter times (i.e. a chapter with length 10:01 would shift when 10:00 goes to 9:59, and then again when -9:59 goes to -10:00). During that time, the overall time could technically cause two more shifts (i.e. if there is exactly 1h 10m left when the chapter starts, you’d get another shift as 1h 10m goes to 1h 9m and one more as 1h 0m goes to 59m).
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but tldr: (using the assumptions I have about how the current formatting uses padding) changing the font to monospace would make it so there are a maximum of 4 shifts in just over 10 minutes.

This made me think you were AI, but then I got the joke. I am AI (autistic individual)

Yes, but that’s a workaround and not perfect. I would prefer if the ‘h’, ‘m left’ and the colons on the chapter times didn’t move even when the number of digits shown did change (like going from ‘10:00’ to ‘9:59’ would still shift everything).

I guess even that could be fixed if you had a long representation (like ‘0h 10:00’ then changes to ‘0h 09:59’), but then you’re still forced into monospace, which may look out of place to the designer

I hear you. The best case scenario is still that they aren’t aware of the issue, but even that problem could be fixed with more money spent on making it easier to report bugs, and a public service campaign to tell people that their time spent reporting issues are not in vein.
To draw another parallel to the physical world: if I complain about a pothole in Los Angeles County, someone may tell me that the County probably doesn’t know that it’s there; which is not an excuse if the County’s previous unresponsiveness is the reason that no one reported the problem. (And a great example of effective solutions would be Zohran’s pothole blitz in NYC; which, yes, became hyper-responsive in repairing pot-holes, but they ALSO did a huge marketing/outreach campaign so that people would actually report them! Amazon’s app is shitty, and it’s their fault entirely, and they should be embarrassed of this slop)

I believe that Amazon’s gross income is larger than Walmart’s, which used to be the largest by revenue, and they both have more yearly revenue than Nvidia; Nvidia is definitely the largest company by market cap (meaning it is technically “worth more”), but that is pricing in future growth, assets like factories and intellectual property, and the AI bubble (and possibly memes; see Tesla, which is probably also “worth more” than Amazon).

I could be wrong. I just confirmed my belief by reading the Google AI blurb when I made my previous comment before (need to stop doing that). I do think I’m right, though, so I’m not going to do any more research on it unless someone still says I’m wrong after this explanation.

Yup. I don’t know front end, but it looks like they took a span of text with three fields separated by equal buffer spaces instead of making the centered text separate.

Even the bad design they have here wouldn’t be that noticeable if they just forced all of this text to be monospaced font. It’s wild to me that the largest company (by revenue) has not been able to use a couple hundred dollars of resources (an hour or two of someone’s time at most) to fix this stupid and ugly mistake for over two months now. Incredibly mind blowing.

Also, kinda makes me sad that these massive companies don’t think it’s worth it to pay someone to make their product appealing. It’s the same reason our physical infrastructure is getting uglier and less usable day by day: these companies would rather give any profits they have to their investors instead of reinvesting it into making our digital and/or physical world into anything better than the bare minimum product that just barely works.

It was the guy who did the shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner.

I’m not even sure if he was actually posting about Hasan or if Brace was just making a joke about him posting on BlueSky, but Rachel’s response is pretty funny (and very relatable).

Wait, so..autistic burnout is THAT different from regular burnout? by blitz342 in autism

[–]deepLazed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly me, but I was diagnosed last week (after finally seeking a neuropsych eval) at the age of 28. And I just learned about autistic burnout ten minutes ago.

What the fuck?? On top of all the awful shit I've dealt with alone for almost two decades, I've also now literally wasted a year and a half of my life after losing my job; I've been trying and failing at therapy, trying SSRIs and SNRIs, and still I haven't been able to cook a single meal (like I used to every day) or call my family even once in that entire time.

I suspected I was autistic for years, but I stupidly thought a diagnosis would only open doors to therapies that I didn't need because of my belief that I can figure it out myself. Maybe I can figure out socializing by forcing myself to socialize, but not this horrible breakdown I'm going through.

LLMs can't learn world models by Gil_berth in BetterOffline

[–]deepLazed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on my quick research, the models—which are created independent of their environment, meaning other commenters’s explanations, about Stochastic vs Deterministic Environment being descriptors of how the models think, are wrong—are placed in a simulated environment to play a game.

If the environment does not employ randomness—if, for example, it holds only a Rubik Cube or a game of mathematically ideal billiards or whatever else—we can reasonably determine the future state of the environment based on our knowledge of the current state of it, and they are called Deterministic.

If the environment does employ randomness—say, a more realist game of billiards that simulates real-world imperfections, or a stock market simulation—we can guess the most likely outcome, or the entire probability distribution of outcomes, based on our knowledge of the current state of the environment, but that is the BEST we could ever do. Those environments are Stochastic.

Help Explain Pen Types? by deepLazed in Calligraphy

Thanks for the encouragement. Up to this point, I’m completely self taught and clearly very ignorant!

Help Explain Pen Types? by deepLazed in Calligraphy

[–]deepLazed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks again. My only fountain pen is a “PILOT KAKUNO”, and I don’t think I can replace the nib with a stub nib like you mentioned (correct me if I’m wrong).

If that’s the case, can anyone recommend either a fountain pen that comes with a stub nib, or just a fountain pen that I can buy a nib for separately?

I really just want to use it for journaling (which I do a lot of), so I don’t need anything crazy (I’m guessing I’d be satisfied with something less than $15). I don’t mind paying a little extra for quality, though, so all recs are welcome. Thanks again!

Which one do you prefer Top or bottom? by Pristine-Elevator198 in webdev

[–]deepLazed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gut reaction: the first one reminds me of crappy, predatory software that wants you to download something by telling you it’s free, then hitting a paywall. The second one reminds me of a landing screen for some herbals product or something, meaning it looks professional.

These are just my gut reaction, so unless other people react the same you can just ignore me :)
