Anyway my point is, as the author implies, showing interest is key. I genuinely wanted that job and I showed them that.

Sadly these days (that happened to me in ~1998) it's so, so much harder to stand out. There's a wall of bits and "employment services" between you and the person who'd hire you, and I don't know how the younger generation is going to be able to navigate that easily.

I see nothing here but them TELLING us how great it is. Not showing us.

Jellyfin is great, it's all I've ever used. But it's still very rough - AppleTV support is limited+buggy (ask my wife...), you can't cast to a Chromecast from iOS etc. Plugins are required for some things to work. Transcoding is harder to get working. Good luck downloading stuff for offline use on the mobile client apps, all you get is the raw movie/tv show file - you have to use VLC to play it.

Again, I love Jellyfin and I use it daily. But we're both kidding ourselves if we think the polished experience you get with Plex is the same as it is with Jellyfin.

If the AI companies were clever they'd offer this themselves.

I find the "We put a model in front of your models so you can pick the right model while you model" mindset to be very strange.

(It's a stupid counterargument, btw, but it ends the discussion)

Or maybe I misremember... I know my machine at the time got upgraded to 24MB so maybe it was that machine I was running.

Anyway it's neat this can still be done.

I know what you mean though, I use it but it’s never quite right. Hard to say exactly why.
