What are some things you would like to see a sort of spiritual successor to?
  • What specifically do you like about Winamp? I miss the whacky skins and even more so the Milkdrop 2 visualization system. There are some hacky ways to get it to work for Foobar or AIMP. I haven't checked what's the case for Linux media players though.

  • Microsoft hires former OpenAI CEO Sam Altman
  • Microsoft is not willing to part ways with their former, and now future partner. Sam has allegedly interviewed most if not all of of the OpenAI hires since its' inception.
    I think keeping him in the AI space if beneficial for the field.

    Dragoș Tudorache, MEP who has spent four years drafting AI legislation, is optimistic final text can be agreed by Wednesday

    EU ‘in touching distance’ of world’s first laws regulating artificial intelligence

    Summary by Bing AI:

    >The article reports on the progress of the EU's Artificial Intelligence Act, which aims to be the world's first law regulating artificial intelligence (AI). The law would introduce rules and safeguards for various applications of AI, such as facial recognition, emotional recognition, chemical weapons, and deepfakes. The article interviews Dragoș Tudorache, a Romanian MEP and co-rapporteur of the parliamentary committee that drafted the legislation. He expresses his optimism that the final text can be agreed by Wednesday, 25 October 2023, after four years of work. He also says that he is more optimistic than pessimistic about AI, as long as there are some guardrails to protect the citizens' rights and interests.

    The Open Book - An open hardware reading device that's easy to build, easy to manufacture, and easy to make your own

    The Open Book

    This is a complete reimagining of the Open Book Project, but the original mission remains:

    As a society, we need an open source device for reading. Books are among the most important documents of our culture, yet the most popular and widespread devices we have for reading are closed objects, operating as small moving parts in a set of giant closed platforms whose owners' interests are not always aligned with readers'.

    The Open Book aims to be a simple device that anyone can build for themselves. The Open Book should be comprehensible: the reader should be able to look at it and understand, at least in broad strokes, how it works. It should be extensible, so that a reader with different needs can write code and add accessories that make the book work for them. It should be global, supporting readers of books in all the languages of the world. Most of all, it should be open, so that anyone can take this design as a starting point and use it to build a better book.

    Organic Maps: An Open-Source Maps App That Doesn't Suck
  • Not sure which application you are using, but you can use the transport map layer of OSM and see all the bus stops. Every stop likely already has the tags for bus stop features.
    As for Organic Maps, it's optimized for driving/directions and doesn't have the advanced features that more redines apps have. That said I love it and enjoy using it for directi9ns.

    Organic Maps: An Open-Source Maps App That Doesn't Suck
  • To be quite honest the routing issue you're referring to is most likely related to invalid/outdated mapping data, as opposed to the routing algorithm the mapping engine uses to navigate.
    The benefit of using OpenStreetMap data for routing is that if you spot a mistake or a route that is incorrectly mapped you can fix it yourself, or leave a note for mapping contributors to examine and resolve. You can also browse the mapping data history and see exactly who and when mapped this region and even contact them if you wish.
    OSM supports much more mapping data via tagging, which translates to more accurate driving directions. To err is human, and OSM mappers make mistakes as well, but these can be easily fixed.
