I don't have time if I'm doing one of these each day to spend a couple hours on a post. " For Day 4 of Advent of AI, I built a winter festival website and deployed it to Netlify using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). A single-page winter festival site with: This built on Day 3's work. I had the basic structure, but needed to fix the light/dark mode. Both themes looked too similar initially, just different shades of dark backgrounds.

But according to the survey results contained in the report, even if an employer thinks it has implemented an inclusive culture, this often doesn't match employee experience. While many job ads contain statements about how committed an organisation is to diversity, equity and inclusion, just 25% of disabled respondents agreed that stated organisational values matched their lived experience. A big contribution to this is how difficult it is for disabled chemists to get support approved. While most know how to request adjustments from their employer, getting those…...

15+ min ago (340+ words) If you're a developer, chances are your workflow looks like this: Before touching any tool, I needed to understand what I was actually trying to replicate. Lo-fi isn't just "lower quality audio." It has an aesthetic: Early algorithmic music always missed this vibe. It sounded like a Windows 95 MIDI file trying to imitate hip-hop. So the challenge wasn't generating notes. It was generating texture. My Experiment: Manual vs. AI vs. Stock Sites I realized I wasn't just looking for a beat maker; I needed a specific Lofi Music Generator that understood texture and imperfection. So I tested how fast I could create a copyright-safe playlist using different approaches. My criteria: I tried three categories: This was the point where I tested several tools (including Suno-style generators, open-source models, and a platform called MusicCreator AI, among others).
