I wonder if this is a DIY effort like Len’s?
which lead me to the following speech-to-text session:
You: please summarize the following speech-to-text output I did:
“Okay so I’m now officially want to get away from having to worry about file types Francis right now I want to send a picture to Leonard of a car it’s a Prius with a but like so it might be a homemade camper topper kind of like something what he did can’t really tell I want to have it on my blog it’s going to be one of those car postings you know interesting s*** I find about cars so here is my the following wherever it came from is he is a webp so some Web format that’s becoming more and more common I don’t like it as four character extension which is awful you’re going to have extensions then they should be three characters and no more no less otherwise you’re just it’s another part of the family you can say it’s the Caboose of the file name but just like real trains no longer have cabooses you don’t really need to have an extension on file matter if I Microsoft tried to really get Force upon us by disappearing the extensions by default back will probably Windows 95 when it was 98 something like that all while trying to maintain and fit all this new stuff into a file system the original phone name awful awful method I think work for a call was an onsetting to the the four available attributes in Doss the fat file system but we don’t need to read only archive to other cameras by sending a system and then I said that certain accom dial that or chained a bunch of fun names together to make one long quilling just an details but to me it sounds like an awful awful mess when it’s nice when you compared to what I think was some of the brilliant stuff that was in the windows or the os2 high performance yeah this is the icon that is with this file not based on the association but based on this is what my file is I have this icon is this my application opens me is this my defaults are are whatever so it was again duplicated in the are also available in the back file system although I don’t know cuz he just have this thing called the resource for the file had two they called them Forks like Forks in a rows I guess one was the data for it which was the absolute was all the actual binary data or whatever the file and then the other Fork was the result for it I had things like I think I know what’s supposed to open in Austin so actual properties are well started in the properties that’s one of the reasons speaking of properties back to the webp file I don’t want it would be files I want only jpegs why jpegs well that’s a whole other story I should link to that and one second probably the best support for properties so that I can now I put into the properties of a jpeg and I can store a link that to this original I can store my comments in there and provided it stories as a jpeg the that information that my thoughts my comments whatever are in that file and stay with it as it moves from place to place as he gets into but what do you want to have the metadata go along with and what if you copy them somehow now you can’t do that never mind so yeah so I want to be able to rename so anytime you know and there’s a reason for that which I could link to which shortens up your finding files problem they’re always in downloads until they’ve been processed and my processed at the minimum a significant or a meaningful file name is attached to it or is again it becomes the Slate the description just tag base what you get at the file system thing that I should create talk about because I think it’s a complete it’s where we have to go so I want to try and use a I did check GPT on this to try and build a script that would sit and monitor down those directory and upon any of the formats the command but if any of those Farmers come in pass it and automatically probably maybe but if not automatically maybe prompt hey here is a file do you want to convert it into JPEG and delete the result and the answer is yes if it times out after a minute just goes away a minute later checks or upon next file system change I know it’s a function you can do at least some Powershell so upon falls to the change or every so often just grab the files oh now there’s three files that match but shall I convert these three if you ask them go and do them with maybe let me just takes a second to verify the stuff so and then also could also do the rename JPEG to jpg since the four letter extension it’s not extension so what’s that I think there were some other reasons why jpeg was preferred certain the tagging the properties of support was that part of the best often associated with compression but it does fantastic impression for instance and it’s a painting now it’s a five to five point six megabyte jpeg okay so watch what we can do here we can say image resize we sample so she’s 4000 by 5 so 300×500 let’s take her down to how wide and of course I’m losing I should be f****** recording this s*** my and I should hang out let’s get the recorder going now so that dot dot say okay and then say save and bang replaces and then I’ve got to file now refresh at 5:00 to refresh I fight to refresh yeah so now it’s dropped it down to a $359 KB so from 5.6 Megs to 350 say 400 or 102 as well and I don’t eat times 12 times 12 is the size W click I should have kept the original that fight that file to on the computer I’m never going to have this I’m going to print this out it might be interesting for now but it’s going to be fine again sure this compression in there but the original you couldn’t tell on a computer screen 5.6 mag graphic sometimes I’ve made problematic for email almost email servicing to be able to support more but it don’t go back not too long ago it was like oh that’s that’s not going to send that you’re trying to send it and then it doesn’t send and then then it bounces back and then send the DVD approximately 500 MB file over our single I think it was still back dial up at that point if not it doesn’t matter did DSL but we did we got the reasonable speed boom it’s it it caused so much f****** delay or everyone is locked out of the internet flight and then somebody else I’m diagnostic so I can do so then I figured out what’s happening kills mail server I probably rebooted the server but it recovery disk space whatever and then or start working it but that was like you know people just don’t know why why should you have to know what type of you know ring seals around my car I don’t know just one of them three of them but they’re made of I think they’re kind of a steel somehow of oil oil is very important keeps the yeah so it still on steel but it’s not oil that’s why it keeps throwing somewhere yeah that’s a little bit of a digression so there and stop”
ChatGPT3.5’s summary:
The speaker expresses frustration with file types, specifically mentioning a picture of a car in WebP format that they want to post on their blog. They criticize the four-character extension of WebP and discuss the history of file extensions, referencing Microsoft’s attempt to hide extensions in Windows 95 or 98. The speaker prefers the metadata approach used in OS/2 high performance systems, highlighting the use of Forks for file information.
They emphasize the importance of metadata and file naming for organization and propose using GPT to create a script that monitors and converts files to JPEG. The speaker also mentions resizing images for practical reasons and shares a personal anecdote about sending a large file causing issues with email servers. Overall, the speaker emphasizes the need for a more efficient and user-friendly file system, incorporating metadata and avoiding unnecessary file extensions.
You: excellent, thank you!
