The visual feedback sounds very much like the strobe feature on my guitar tuner. I think the first like this was the Stroboconn in the 1930s.

New comment by porterde in "Why do we get earworms?"

porterde — Fri, 30 May 2025 12:28:37 +0000

There’s a neuro-linguistic programming technique you can try to get rid of an earworm.

Picture a radio playing the song and imagine yourself slowly turning down the volume and the song getting quieter until it has gone.

This used to work for me but over time I’ve had to extend it with imagining switching the radio off at the end, unplugging it, and chucking it out the window so it smashes on the ground so no chance of it turning back on!

Great idea and congrats on launching v2.

Do you have to certify compliance with safety / EMC regulations to sell a product like this? The thought of that always put me off imagining a hardware startup.

NASA.gov has multiple pages on lift. Maybe one will explain it accurately.

New comment by porterde in "FFmpeg by Example"

porterde — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 22:51:31 +0000

Perhaps small enough to include in ffmpeg itself so you can just write commands `ffmpeg do this thing I want`.

Now I say this, it seems like there should already be a shell that is also an LLM where you can mix bits of commands you vaguely remember and natural language a bit like Del Boy speaking French...
