Was about to complain about the pricing (more expensive than newly released 5.3 Codex?) but then I noticed that Auto/Composer mode appears to be billed separately now -- so I can use $400 of API in _addition_ to Auto/Composer?

Am I right in thinking that's a separate allowance? That's pretty cool if so

I mostly agree, almost everything is possible for almost everyone, but some people have hurdles to overcome that would probably take their entire life to overcome.

Having said that, some people choose that path anyway, and sometimes they actually end up mastering the field from the bottom up in a completely new way that no one else would ever think to do.

I say this on the off-chance someone reading this is one of those people. But yeah, I'm not gonna try grow from 5'7 to 6'4 or sprint faster than Usain Bolt. But more power to anyone who tries!

There's nothing wrong with being unhappy, IMO - you can still channel those emotions into something meaningful.

But if you do want to be happy, you can find stories, if you look hard and long enough, of "outliers". People who, against all odds, defied "statistics" and broke out of whatever expectations society and "facts" projected onto them.

I tried "everything" until age ~27 when I finally found one dial (very specific elimination diet) that made the rest of my body act mostly normally. Other changes were easier to make from that point onwards, altho there's a lot of damage to undo still. Diet is just one factor, for others it could be completely different.

My point is - I thought I would never be healthy. This stuff runs in my family too. But I just kept trying things. There's no other option.

You are a unique human being and soul who has something valuable to contribute to this world. Even if that's being unhappy.

Hope that doesn't sound condescending, it's something I tell myself too.

Insane velocity from the Cursor team. I wonder how they move so fast?

I wasn't expecting to, but I got chills listening to some Suno creations from artists who are clearly very talented at using this new medium.

Much like those of us hammering away at LLMs who eventually get incredible results through persistence, people are doing the same with these other AI tools, creating in an entirely new way.

I'm sure Suno are working hard on this and these AI tools can only come together as fast as we can figure out the UX for all this stuff, but I'm holding out for when I can guide the music with specific melodies using voice or midi.

For "conventional" musicians, we (or at least I) would love to have that level of control. Often we know exactly what it should sound like, but might not have session musicians or expensive VSTs (or patience) on hand to get exactly the sound we want. Currently we make do with what we have - but this tech could allow many to take their existing productions to the next level.

Not OP but my two cents - probably laziness and propensity towards daydreaming.

I have extreme intolerance to boredom. I can't do the same job twice. Some people don't care.

This pain has caused me to become incredibly effective with LLMs because I'm always looking for an easier way to do anything.

If you keep hammering away at a problem - i.e. how to code with LLMs - you tend to become dramatically better at other people who don't do that.
