Podcasts with bookmarks

I listen to quite a lot of podcasts. I have been using Spotify but recently switched, most of the time, to using an app called Snipd.

It is a podcast player with some quite neat additional features.

If you are listening to something and you want to find it later you can press the “Create Snip” button and save it - a bit like a bookmark. You can later go back and refine the “Snip” to just the section you are interested in.

In addition, for a lot of the podcast episodes they have an AI generated transcript that you can read or even use alongside the Snip.

There are a lot of social aspects as well that I haven’t used a lot yet. You can listen to sections others have snipped and also share those you have created.

The one downside for me at the moment is that they don’t have a version that works with Android Auto. I listen in the car and it would be nice if I could save a snip for later whilst driving.

Using AI to find code problems

Ubissoft have introduced a tool that “uses AI” to identify potential coding issues when the developer commits code. They claim it can detect a significant number of errors and even suggest solutions in some cases. There will always be some errors that it will not be able to identify, for example where the implementation doesn’t match the requirements, however this approach could have a significant impact on the amount of time spent debugging. And it should improve over time as it learns more potential errors.

When I grew up I had an old 35mm Praktica camera that was given to me. I purchased some lenses for it and mostly used it to take pictures of the Somerset cricket matches I went to watch.
