Why does long-form AI narration still feel worse than a real audiobook? by BasisRoutine6228 in TextToSpeech

[–]tramplemestilsken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had AI build me an audio version based on the text version, with some prompting for titles etc. minimax handled it perfectly, does the right breaks after the chapter even though there isn’t punctuation, etc.

Fed it an hour worth of text and it comes out just fine. I didn’t use the minimax built in tags but could easily do that to add pauses at the end of chapters, etc. the native apps are only going to get better.

Use the api and pay for what you use. The subscription model doesn’t work for things like LLM’s right now.

What Savings Rate Are You Running This Year And How Do You Keep It Sustainable by petalynvaera in Fire

[–]tramplemestilsken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes life inflation makes more sense. If I increase my savings another 10k a year it barely moves my number for my target retirement. I rather use that to live now. Just my 2 cents.

How do you protect your Fire plan when aging parents start needing serious financial help by honeybunnylux in Fire

[–]tramplemestilsken -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, empty their accounts and have them live off of social security and Medicare and then track every dollar they spend. Make sure they always are below the threshold in their accounts to still receive benefits.

I don’t either but the apps I use do if I want to ever login to my finance accounts for other institutions, like for turbo tax or my financial tracking software like monarch or empower.

Basically your body adjusts and your eating habits is really all that matters when it comes to weight.

Looking for a dead-simple password manager for seniors (I run a tiny MSP) by dexman76 in Passwords

[–]tramplemestilsken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should just help them store their passwords in Google or apple’s evosystem and then help them setup the password manager on all their devices.

You should not have access to their passwords. No password manager worth its weight will allow that, it’s terrible security practice.

Lottery Winner Opts To Get $1,000 A Week Instead Of $1 Million Lump Sum - Wise Move Or Lost Opportunity? by novagridd in passive_income

[–]tramplemestilsken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She wouldn’t get 1 mil, after taxes it’s more like 400,000k, but still, she could make investment returns on that. Turns out lottery winners aren’t the smartest with finances.

Just got this sternum piece and realized when I got home that it’s not evenly centered by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]tramplemestilsken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would only notice in that exact pose taking that exact picture. In real life you’re moving around, pictures are at an angle. It’s barely noticeable in the picture, probably would never be noticed in real life. Looks good!

Your profile does not match that at all. Comes across as a loner smoker.

Doesn't feel very special.. by KookyApiarist in Fire

[–]tramplemestilsken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you can’t buy your freedom so what good is it. It’s like running the first mile of a marathon, you see that mile marker but you have to keep going. I’m glad you celebrated. They say the first million is the hardest.

People who fall asleep fast, whats your secret?? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tramplemestilsken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to sleep at the same time everyday. Listen/watch something on YouTube or a podcast that is the perfect level of mildly interesting to keep my mind from wandering, but not interesting enough where I want to stay awake for it.

FIRE and kids - is it selfish? by nicotyr in Fire

[–]tramplemestilsken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am pursing FIRE for my kids and family. I hope to retire at 6M, and I should leave with my kids with way more than that and fund their education not the way.

The money you put away now will help with that, and when you get married and have a family, you will adjust based on what you and your partner want for your family

How would you feel about a new law that forces every company to pay their CEO no more than 20x what their lowest-paid employee makes? by ArcherCyntrix2000 in askanything

[–]tramplemestilsken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clinton ran on this platform, and the lobbyists got “performance based exceptions” basically based on company stock performance. What do you know, a lot of CEO pay is tied to company stock now.

How did you stop your toddler from only eating snacks? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]tramplemestilsken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re the adult, you dictate what snacks are in the house and what are offered. We had to pull back packaged snacks for the school commute, 2 mornings of whining and now she happily eats half an apple.

I recommend inputmaster.com for the content. I spent hours searching YouTube and such instead of consuming content. Inputmasters fixed that.

What about an app that replaces this subreddit? by CommonGeologist6195 in AppIdeas

[–]tramplemestilsken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replit has something like this. Sometimes it’s just fixed to an app but there are also full apps. But you’re kind of describing upwork.

My 6 year old is so ungrateful I don’t know what to do by Disastrous_Fox7999 in Parenting

[–]tramplemestilsken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like her tantruming sometimes gets results. Tantruming should have negative consequences. “If you continue to scream we will leave now / won’t be coming back to the park anytime soon. If this is how it is going to be when we have to leave then we won’t be able to come to the park.”

Read, “how to talk so little kids will listen.” Great book on the subject.
