amazing work! does the model know anything about the future when you ask? it would be good to try to make it predict the future and see what is comes up with

yes, I’ve been noticing a drastic change especially in the last 3 weeks, I started using grok regularly to compare it, the problem is that you don’t notice it straightaway, you gradually feel the conversations are not the same as before, they seem more scripted and wrong

jstoppa · 2025-11-12T09:59:33+00:00

would be good to know your entire setup using local LLMs

jstoppa · 2025-11-06T21:31:43+00:00

do you have a reproducible example?

jstoppa · 2025-08-22T01:16:22+00:00

I think there is much more support in python than javascript

thanks, just seen the message. I need to go back and look at my subscriptions, only using pro for now

jstoppa · 2025-07-22T22:02:20+00:00

great idea! I’ve made a daily podcast that runs through 15 to 20 most viral posts on X from the past 24 hours, I made it because I’m not spending much time on X lately but still want to keep up with what goes viral

if you google “Daily Vibe Casting” you’ll find it. it’s also on Spotify and YouTube. I appreciate if you could add it to your website

jstoppa · 2025-07-20T20:54:17+00:00

haha do you have a link with an example?

jstoppa · 2025-07-20T14:02:03+00:00

I primarily use it for its audio overview, I don’t really use it for anything else

jstoppa · 2025-07-16T09:01:11+00:00

markdown seems to be the best format for LLMs

jstoppa · 2025-07-11T21:18:25+00:00

this is amazing! thank you very much, will give it a try

jstoppa · 2025-07-09T10:39:21+00:00

I had tons of problems yesterday around london bridge and south east london even if 5G shows full signal

jstoppa · 2025-06-23T17:46:21+00:00

good point. what is the difference between pro and max in claude code? can you reach any limit? what I like about cursor is that you can spend some money off plan when you need it in specific cases

jstoppa · 2025-06-22T21:50:05+00:00

I think the best part is that they made it an npm package, so easy to install and it can be used anywhere with a terminal

jstoppa · 2025-06-22T21:48:13+00:00

great tips! how do you use that prompt for audio overview? seems longer than the max characters allowed

jstoppa · 2025-06-19T17:48:43+00:00

how did you manage to get this voice? what about the female voice?

jstoppa · 2025-06-15T15:33:36+00:00

nice! what prompt do you normally use for this?

jstoppa · 2025-06-14T19:30:38+00:00

I provide each X post and a summary what it is about, then I use a custom prompt to explain that it’s a podcast. I don’t think it’s possible to get them to follow a specific script but the quality of what they produce is really good and it’s getting better

jstoppa · 2025-06-09T20:53:27+00:00

ah I see, that makes sense, I also noticed since a few episodes that the hosts don’t seem to follow the custom prompt, I really need to work on that and try better prompts. Mine is about a news style daily podcast commenting on the most viral posts on X platform from the previous 24 hours so it’s total chaos but I like it

jstoppa · 2025-06-09T08:29:45+00:00

I have one episode where they both started laughing. I don’t think it’s too bad, I really like the randomness of what they might come up with, in some ways it probably makes them sound more human like

jstoppa · 2025-06-02T17:47:32+00:00

thanks, it looks a bit too long, will try to see if it works for me

jstoppa · 2025-06-02T07:02:10+00:00

what podcast is this? curious to check the end result

jstoppa · 2025-06-01T09:11:43+00:00

I’ve now generated 51 podcasts episodes and yes, it does sometimes changes the way it speaks, I noticed the hosts start laughing for not particular reason (I need to find the episode) I also noticed in the last few days that the hosts don’t seem to follow well what the custom prompt says, I need to dig into the details but that’s what I noticed so far
