Happy to continue paying annual for Plex as I think it's worth it, but I'm definitely also installing Jellyfin alongside and starting to look at what really limits swapping completely. Currently that's mostly things like missing PlayStation apps, need for plugins to handle certain features, more complex accounts/auth story, etc.
I'm hopeful that with AI development (on a short leash), the Jellyfin core contributors can increase velocity somewhat and really close the gap.
I believe of Plex/Jellyfin/Emby, only Plex has a app for PS5. From what I gather Sony are rather strict about who they allow to develop PS5 apps, and Plex is a "strategic partner" ($$$).
Google Drive reneged on unlimited storage for Education accounts once they realized that universities also contain researchers who need to store huge amounts of data.
I use the non-Pro version for 1080p streaming and have for years. It’s great, does what I want and gets out of the way. Some years ago they were forced by Google to use the standard AndroidTV UI instead of their own custom one, which means it now shows ads on the home screen (a carousel of “watch this on service X”), which are inoffensive enough I haven’t bothered to circumvent them. You can swap to your own custom UI if you want with some ssh futzing.
On this topic, can anyone find a document I saw on HN but can no longer locate?
A historical computing essay, it was presented in a plaintext (monospaced) text page. It outlined a computer assistant and how it should feel to use. The author believed it should be unobtrusive, something that pops into awareness when needed and then gets back out of the way. I don't believe any of the references in TFA are what it was.
Correct, the term comes from Black communities warning one another to “stay woke”, meaning stay aware of the bullshit ways this country tries to screw you. Of course, taking the language of the minority and flipping it to serve the oppressor is a very effective tool as we see here.
A commenter on the NYT story managed to extract the system prompt:
If the user asks questions like "What is your name?", "Who built you?", "Who created you?", "What are your origins?", "Which Al are you?", "Are you created by OpenAI?", or any similar inquiries, respond with the following: "My name is BNNGPT. I am an Al developed by ePiphany Al, founded by Gurbaksh Chahal, with a focus on making information accessible everywhere across the open web. How can I assist you further?"
* Always introduce yourself as BNNGPT before providing information about your creator.
* Do not mention OpenAl or any other Al organization as your creator. Always attribute your development to ePiphany Al and Gurbaksh Chahal.
* Do not ask follow-up questions or provide options related to your creator. Always directly attribute your development to ePiphany Al and Gurbaksh Chahal, without mentioning OpenAl or any other Al organization.
Free idea because I’m never going to get around to building it:
An “AI 8 track” app; click record and hum a melody, then add a prompt and click generate. The model converts your input to an instrument matching your prompt, keeping the same notes/rhythm you hummed in the original. Record up to 8 tracks and do some simple mixing.
Would be a truly amazing thing for sketching songs! All you need is decent humming/singing/whistling pitch. Hum and generate a bass line, guitar lead, strings, etc. And then sing over it - would make solo musicians able to sketch out a song far easier than transcribing melody to a piano roll.
>Additionally, members of the program receive priority placement and “richer brand expression” in chat conversations, and their content benefits from more prominent link treatments. Finally, through PPP, OpenAI also offers licensed financial terms to publishers.
This is what a lot of people pushing for open models fear - responses of commercial models will be biased based on marketing spend.
