since I don't think I saw this mentioned, I treat a feed's atom:link rel="self" tag as a strong signal. This is especially useful in a pwa javascript where you don't have direct access to redirect status codes and header values.

for me it's not so much the wonder (though that's there) as the joy of creation that fills my cup. But undeniably we've lost things in the process, and we'll grieve them to some extent.

@npub1rcn…dw4h @npub1fmx…wp74 here to stand with the joyous camp. My experience is much closer to Adam's. Sure there's some mindless Yes-ing but it's a very low proportion of the interaction. What's maybe different is I can look at the output and point out bad abstractions, memory leaks, races or whatever.
I've said this before and it's still a great metaphor: working with these tools is like Earth bending. 😊

back from a multi-week side quest. Just pushed out a revamp to the transcript page that supports reading, search, and restores speaker identification. Web v0.66.3

sent me down a slight rabbit hole. I remember reading the Minsky and Papert perceptrons book in college, and the McCulloch & Pitts paper. Crazy to thinks that ANNs were invented in the 1940s.

also great, so auto-scroll that follows playback is actually not useful for this case. This anticipates pure reading/flicking interface (which wherever doesn't support...yet).

2026-04-18 21:55:07 UTC

this doesn't answer your q, but am kind of curious...
Do folks get much value from the transcript feature? Or if you're a podcast app maker, do your users value it, and tell you?
Clearly an accessibility win, but beyond that it's a fully audio medium for me. I don't *look* at my app, I lock the screen and shove it in my pocket.
I remember coding this into wherever and thinking: "Neat, the words highlight and scroll! But I'll never use it."
Thoughts?
(yes video, but beyond that!)

@npub1rcn…dw4h @npub1fmx…wp74 re: "vague anxiety", I think the fast feedback cycles have always been there, it's just that fast has gotten a whole lot faster.
I've definitely had to recalibrate and rework my relationship with the daily act of coding. It's turned into something more like, I don't know, terraforming.
Like Dave said, we seem to be in the middle of something that hasn't settled yet.

For the interested, this is very straightforward to build with current tech: download the content, transcribe it, and ask an LLM to find the ads. No need for fancy audio fingerprinting or heuristics, no knowledge of who is speaking. It's a solved problem.
We're entering the "find out" phase of how things are gonna shake out in podcasting.

not sure where this is coming from but fwiw the folks I worked with on a day to day basis during my 9 years there were excellent particularly at fundamentals, ie stuff that is not as well represented in the general dev population. I've seen both and there's a big difference. That said, big company incentives tend to obscure that.

I love hearing about your experience with vibe coding. This is the killer app for people with product vision plus systems understanding, but maybe not the pain tolerance to deal with indentation, semicolons, and curly braces 🙂
Honestly I think "vibe coding" is a disservice as a name. I see it more as a natural language to code compiler.

confirmed that gofeed is bombing out on uris like `at://did:plc:pzznkrzajsaqev3ffamg3jnr/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljkhwqun7l2b`. It's treating these URIs as URLs, and complaining about not being able to parse the port number 🤦‍♂️ Looks like a parser bug to me at this point.
Looks like your bandwidth issues are with episode downloads and not feed downloads though, so maybe this is unrelated.

2025-03-05 20:20:44 UTC

@npub13cg…ck4q did you figure out the bandwidth thing? I just noticed one of my parsers fail on podnews.net/rss. Seems it doesn't like the decentralized bsky identifier in socialInteract. Digging a bit more...

Hey all, a quick personal note -- I'm looking for a new gig.
I'm talking with friends in startups and big tech, but not limiting myself to those options.
I've actually been here a couple of times before, and it's not unusual for wonderful things to happen when I have no plan. It was during my first stint in freelancing, for example, that podcasting was born :-)

Has anyone messed with Greenlight? I managed to create a node and an invoice using their python samples, but attempts to pay the invoice from breez fail with no route, and fail silently from getalby's web ui.
Digging further, the node doesn't appear to have any peers. I think this fits in the category of stuff that greenlight aims to abstract away from the developer. Any ideas for an LN n00b?
