Great question. I’m using MOSS-audio for that which feels good (and is fast/small enough) but not sufficient to give useful feedback out of the box. I’m working on fine tuning it o…

I'm working on Trebella [0], a tool to help classical music students structure their practice sessions more effectively. I tried to build something similar ~10 years ago in the for…

I think they are lying. We all know Sam Altman is a scheming liar; it's not inconceivable that HF is in on this one.

> choose for the ergonomics first This is unfortunately why I keep buying the Razer Deathadder Pro. It fits my hand perfectly and is super accurate. I hate their software, and the …

In theory I could see really enjoying them in an action sports (backcountry skiing, mountain biking, rock climbing) setting. I'd want 1) true AR that could annotate terrain with st…

Why did they discontinue that? It was a very good product; we got them for all the grandparents and they worked really well at bringing the family together across distance. Could h…

I saw those and got excited; I've been using Mathematica for decades and do a lot of work with symbolic music. Unfortunately they are extremely surface level in this release. It lo…

I strongly agree on that being the release where these tools got good enough to substantially speed up my professional work. I have to admit I was super skeptical of AI coding unti…

Oh hey, I'm building something loosely related to this too. Can I ask what need isn't being met by say, Forscore?

I was about to say "what, we've had records for decades" but then I read the changelog. Interesting. I wonder if there a world where Elixir starts compiling maps to "native records…

I went all in on the Nest ecosystem when I bought my house eight years ago, and Google absolutely ruined it with the botched acquisition. Half the stuff is Google branded, half is …

Oh dude, I love this. I've been working on an interactive music thingy ( https://trebel.la , it's sort of gamified but more designed to structure practice sessions for serious clas…

> …but as a user, I would much rather wait an extra 200ms for my slow/expensive prompt to be accurate I disagree with this SO strongly. I find the conversational voice mode to be a…

Same. Well the biggest thing I don't want to do that they could help with is work. But in the cases where it can do that for me, there's no world where that benefit goes to me rath…

That actually sounds... really nice. Like they've borrowed some of the things from traditional theatre that make the experience not awful. My reference point for movie theatres is …

wait... I don't think I've ever experienced assigned seats in a movie theatre. Is that a thing?

Maybe I'm missing something as I am not a frontend developer, but when you embed SVGs in an img tag as part of a Phoenix LiveView or even just a static component, you no longer get…

This is my experience too. I actually briefly took the cool exciting climate change related science job and then realized that I couldn’t actually support my family’s lifestyle on …

Following since I just reproduced the crash on my own system (Chrome on Ubuntu)

> people like everything about Go except the language itself. Thanks for putting so succinctly exactly how I feel about Go!

Ooo, does everywhere in Sugarhouse have access to this now? We've been up in Park City relying on wireless point-to-point but are about to move back down to the valley and that is …

My version of fizzbuzz (I'm in backend/ML/NLP) is counting how many times each word appears in a string. Literally `return Counter(text.lower().split())` but it's totally fine if y…

Does that include VAT? Also the USD has been getting weaker quickly so I wouldn’t be surprised if the differential there is even larger than when they settled on pricing.

> you can get very nice displays for less than half the price that are 98% the same on specs. Can you recommend any displays with PPI and brightness equivalent to the studio displa…

Do we understand how to scale up the hardware to the point it can run a frontier model? Because this is insane. It will be a game changer for agent systems making 10-100+ calls.
