And even if you can - is it worth it? I mean - do I care and should I care? Is the point of music detecting every detail of the recording or can I appreciate it without paying that much attention to production? For instance, I find it much more convenient to use Bluetooth headphones as it allows me to move around the house. Flac immediately stops being relevant, as Bluetooth codec is really bad compared to almost any codec. I recently tried ldac codec on my headphones - couldn’t really tell the difference. Mp3 128kbps is just fine for me. Almost any situation. I care about musical content much more than production details. Other people might care more. I don’t.

Yeah, but notepad++ was recently hacked and been compromised. An unfortunate timing.

BTW, Tools for Humanity is another Sam Altman startup, that also has World Coin crypto currency and wants to scan human irises for human verification. Razer was one of the first endorsers. The whole thing walks like a rugpull scam and quacks like a rugpull scam.

I’d say too fucking late. Those who have had problems have already left. And the rest can’t, for whatever reason. So walking back won’t bring those who left back. Or even if some do come back, they’ll leave on the first sign of shenanigans, cause now they know they have a choice and that it is doable.

Interesting experiment. But same idea as a tremolo bridge, but instead of springs in tension, he uses a magnet. An improvement could be the same - instead od directly pulling, he could try the hinge/lever setup like in a tremolo. Could also use mechanical advantage to make use of smaller magnets. An additional benefit is improved safety. But you would just reinvent the tremolo, only make it more expensive. Already, this sounds more or less like a floating style tremolo, but with additional floating. And increased price. And safety concerns.

Read it now. It made my day a bit better :)

AFAIK there is no reason why vst companies wouldn’t produce linux builds, vst has been opened for Linux for a long time now, they just need to port it. iLok should also be possible, though I personally hate it, but I’m not a pro.

Ooof, did not know about this. I held Louis to high regard for his work and this somewhat mars his reputation. I will from now on be cautious about Louis Rosmann, though I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, provided he is more careful in the future. He’s always been a bit of an abrasive character, which is not always bad, but he needs to be held accountable, like everybody else.

Nice, I’ll have to give it a good look!

Not with that attitude :)

Yes, but you don’t want to lock yourself in an echo chamber either. You want to be as close to reality as possible, at least I do. Though I realize that a niche federated internet community is a bad place for that. But this is the reason I don’t block communities. I used to be on lemm.ee for that reason, but it got shut down. I have no problem reading communist propaganda and deciding for myself if it’s garbage. But I have problem with censorship. Though bullying and abuse is where I draw the line. But what I see is even without algorithm based feeds, people are still polarized. Possibly because, like me, people with moderate views tend to not comment or engage, while polar opposite groups want you to firmly choose sides and denounce the other side or else you are garbage. In summary, I think it’s depressing because reality is currently depressing. But it’s unrealistic to just pretend everything is just fine and be happy.

This is true. However, the issue is we keep oscillating between AI is useless and over hyped; and it will solve all of life’s problems and you should not call it slop out of respect. The truth is somewhere in between, but we need to fight for it to find it.

Definitely. Or possibly AI will become vastly superior to developers and will require no supervision. In that case, the whole paradigm changes and I don’t know how the software development will look like then. But these are definitely still early days of AI software development, we have a lot to figure out.

The real slowdown comes after when you realize you don’t understand your own codebase because you relied too much on AI. To understand it well enough requires discipline, which in the current IT world is lacking anyway. Either you can rely entirely on AI or you need to monitor its every action, in which case you may be better off writing yourself. But this hybrid approach I don’t think will pan out particularly well.

Wow, great analogy. Might steal this to use myself.

Based on how AI might actually replace a bunch of professions, and nobody fighting tooth and nail about it - I don’t think so.

Oh, thanks. Should’ve look into it a bit more. I was worried I’m missing on posts for no good reason. But I guess this makes sense.

Wow, didn’t even know Greek is the creator’s first language. It seems like it all started with Greek. First few lessons are good, but a vastly different experience to Duolingo and such. Ill have to keep at it to see if it is effective.

I use Duolingo, but at least for Greek it’s really slow and inefficient. I am 2/3 of the way to the end and feel like I still suck. Plus, I learned a word for vegetarian in the first few weeks but haven’t yet learned a word for money for instance. I feel like it’s very badly optimized.

I’m learning Greek on Duolingo and am amazed at how slowly I’m progressing and I’m already a year in. I’ll give this one a shot tonight and report back at least first impressions.
