looks like it – compiled as debug (native linux x64 backend) gives me the vector type i've asked for. release modes extend to the "native" width. this is testing in isolation as we…

i don't disagree – i have my own internal vector lib of approximations and whatnot for various tradeoffs of precision and speed, so i just use those. it's just that zig has a prett…

ahaaa, yeah, i don't personally do any runtime switching but i hear that as a deal-breaker from other folks. it's interesting – i've found that zig tends to extend my vectors to th…

i was having a conversation with a friend recently about simd in zig (which i have recently picked up and been having a pretty good time with). i find that simd writes decently wel…

hey, i went the other way! i had been using `0` for years and discovered that `_` goes to the first non-whitespace character of the line (which is most of what i want). til that '^…

How exactly is AI a "path to fusion"?

My impression was that the "ghost" comes less from the formal NDA and more from the fact that somebody else produces/writes the work and is uncredited for doing so. Then, the "auth…

How about "AI ghostwritten"? That's a much closer parallel, and some commercially successful musicians similarly are "ghost produced".

CLAUDE.md in the repo and "Co-Authored by Claude" on all the commits too. Hard pass.

Are you also going to go into detail about the use of AI to generate the code?

This is really interesting – AU's notion of having separate input and output "elements" (buses, more or less) is one of the worst parts of the whole API. I understand why historica…

Historically, there was an API translation layer that VST2 plugins used (called Symbiosis), but these days the vast majority of plugin devs use a framework like JUCE which has mult…

> Oh I forgot about parameters. In VST3, the parameter changes use linear interpolation. So the DAW can predict how the plugin would interpret parameter value between changes and u…

The short answer is that there really aren't. All extant audio plugin APIs/formats are basically ways of getting audio data into and out of a `process()` (sometimes called `Render`…

"opinionated and limited" in what way? I'm also curious to hear how AU differs appreciably from VST3, mostly at a conceptual level (as I'm already familiar with the low-level detai…

> Clap doesn't allow describing plugin in a manifest (like VST3 and LV2 do). This allows to scan for plugins faster. VST3 only recently gained the `moduleinfo.json` functionality a…

Yet more vibe-coded spam. For context, this is the same author who just got flagged off the front page for an LLM-written book about Lisp.

airports are always a nightmare! the other important thing to keep in mind is that in the EU in general, there's no added taxes on the bill, and tips are less of a thing here, so t…

Swiss maybe, but as a Dutch resident who was just in SF for the holidays... SF food is definitely more expensive.
