Wow, that's far from expensive; actually incredible to get a full language with compiler and optimzier and a bunch of targets for just a few hundered dollars. That makes me feel like a movie theater pianist back when sound films first

I see, thanks; but what about the cost? Is this just a fixed subscription? If so, what level is necessary for such kinds of large projects? Can you just let it run ad infinitum, or are there daily or weekly limits, or do you even have to sp

Cool. Amazing to see what AI (Claude Code?) can do when the operator is an expert. It's like working as a lead engineer with a team. I never touched Claude code so far and am hesitant to give this tool direct access to my machine. I ma

Interesting, thanks for the detailed explanations. Objective-C has indeed some impressive features, but also some inefficiencies and it got a bit out of favour over the years. Coming from the Wirth school I also understand the virtue and ch

Wow, this is huge. Is the goal really to have a new language better than Objective-C, and to actually use it in projects, or mainly to demonstrate what an AI can do? As far as I understand, there is a non-trivial optimiser, assumingly also

Cool, thanks for sharing. Shannon was a bit too optimistic about when all this should happen, but he essentially describes what we have today, 65 years later.

They also seem to use a different encoding scheme which has more bandwidth and less artefacts up front. If you download a WAV from Suno, you still essentially have MP3 quality, just serialized to a WAV file. The elevenlabs WAV has full audi

Great sound quality, definitely better than Suno 5 and 6. It let me download a WAV file which goes unfiltered up to 20kHz (Suno goes to ~15kHz and has more artefacts). Here is my first attempt: http://rochus-keller.ch/Divers

Just listened to some v6 samples on https://suno.com/labs/genre-wheel Sound quality doesn't seem to have improved, especially the grand pianos still sound detuned. I hear new musical and sound features such as wil

To the point, thanks.

What misconception? The administration wrote themselves few years ago: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/de/07032023-bundesverwaltung-fueh... Now (eventually) they seem to reconsider that this dependability might not have bee

Wouldn't a true Swiss person be neutral and cautious, and wouldn't they refrain from parroting all sorts of nonsense in public about other countries? Anyway, it doesn’t exactly seem like smart move when a government agency tasked

Doesn't look like really a "v2" to me, rather v1 a bit re-arranged. A true "theory" able to explain present music (or even Jazz from the seventies) and also support its creation is still widely lacking, or just a na

This is amazing. How is this possible? RocksDB seems to have much more development resources than TidesDB, isn't it?

I agree that transclusion, particularly based on byte offsets, is not very useful for the WWW. But the concept is much more useful than what the author suggests. Maybe you have heard of Ivar Jacobson's Objectory tool. I worked with it

Cool. So at least the work-hours haven't changed much since ;-)

Looks interesting. But I couldn't find any practical examples or tutorials so far. Any hints? Is there a description somewhere how it is implemented, i.e. what technical concepts are used to analyze the Midi, understand the music well

> Rust is an enormously more complex language I have no doubt that a Rust compiler can be implemented in C. But it's a different project to write one in C from start than trying to migrate an existing C++14 based project to C. The f

That's fascinating. I spent significant time with early MUMPS and the machines of the time ( https://github.com/rochus-keller/mumps/ ) which had a comparable amount of memory. Was your whole insurance applicati

Sounds pretty difficult (if not impossible, see cfront 4.0) to translate C++ code to C89. You have to keep track of all constructors and destructors and their progress along the body yourself, and I assume it must be fit for exceptions as w

Well, it might not be your actual problem. But there are always people who look a little further beyond the horizon.

This project is not pointless at all. It's not about "reproducible builds", but about building a full present system from "first principles". It would be a way out of a significant dependability problem barely anyon

Thanks for these interesting insights. It's hard to imagine today how scarce computers actually were at that time. The assembler was for the System/360?

This is a very interesting talk. I'm amazed to hear how good this AI stuff already is (if I take DHH's statements at face value).

Well, since everyone already has the specs, they should release it as a free standard.

Cool project. Good idea to use SDL3; it brings along much more than SDL2 where you had to use a lot of other libraries to become platform independent with all features. The disadvantage might be that SDL3 itself (as SLD2) is pretty big. Ada

Have a look at boost::movelib::unique_ptr<T> which works well with C++98/03.
