Just sharing my $0.02 here - I have ethical objections to using OpenAI or Anthropic products so I was a reluctant adopter of LLMs at all. Local models address most, though not all,…

Thank you for this! I’m making a digital ESP32 powered synthesizer at https://subalpinecircuits.com/ . It’s been a ton of fun, learning so much about every part of the process (and…

This nails my primary frustration with all gen AI - why are we all seemingly okay with a few massive companies and their billionaire CEOs training models on the output of all human…

The electricity aspect has always been one I wish AI skeptics/critics wouldn’t lean on so much, because it seems like the one most likely to be solveable. I think we should be focu…

I discovered the same thing with u8g2, and digging through the abstraction layers it felt like improving it was going to be impossible. Sending a single transaction with a framebuf…

Ah! That makes sense, thanks! And yes, the audio data runs over I2S - the chip I’m using just uses I2C for control.

That’s very cool - I definitely gotta work on adding partial refreshes. Thanks for sharing!

Amazing! Thank you!

Interesting! That could be good way to boost the speeds here for sure, as I'm still pushing out a full framebuffer out with every update and am not usually updating the whole scree…

(author here) I've been pondering this, yeah. I'm currently sharing the I2C bus with a DAC and that's working alright, but the refresh rate issue is enough to make me consider SPI.…

I find this so confusing - I’m working on a fairly large project using ESP-IDF and find it an absolute joy to use. Far better than any other microcontroller framework.

Yeah, I appreciated this post: > Oh joy, another paper for the antivaxxers to misinterpret. Some red flags though. > The tone of this paper, particularly the last sentence ("potent…

Thank you for TenFourFox! As recently as last year I was still regression testing my code against TFF on a 12” PowerBook because it’s still my favourite hardware. If anyone ever us…

Discover on the Bandcamp homepage is good for this, and we have pretty good genre-specific tag pages now that have a combination of algorithmic and curated picks, and you can dig i…

Thank you!

All of that is fantastic! And as a relative nobody independent artist myself I totally agree with you, it's why I work there. Thanks for using the site!

I can't comment on our plans, but I personally totally agree with you and would love an API (and will continue to advocate for one!). Supportify is super cool :)

This is cool.. I was trying to figure out how to get macOS next/prev controls to trigger events in Safari but haven't had any luck. This seems like a cool API for doing that sort o…

You are very welcome, and that's great to hear :) Thank you for supporting independent artists (and us)!

Hey, thanks! I can't really comment, but it is a common request... I'm curious, are you using Chromecast via TV or Chromecast Audio (or something else)?

Hey, we're on HN! As mentioned elsewhere we're waiting revenue share tomorrow. We've got a handy timezone-aware site for tomorrow and other future fundraisers: https://isitbandcamp…
