I didn't try what you suggested, but even without better control of the music with more structured prompts, I think the musicality of this system is much lower than what we have commercially. I made the following two songs with the sys

This is a competent introduction to Stoicism; it successfully debunks the most common myth, that Stoics are emotionless robots. However, the text presents a somewhat "sanitized" version of the philosophy; it focuses heavily on the

Neely's core thesis seems to be that AI music companies (like Suno) are not "democratizing" music, but are engaging in a form of "wealth extraction" designed to turn music into a disposable consumer product. The bus

Well, it's like a few people still make music, even if there is Suno ;-)

The main problem are the artifacts on the individual sounds generated by the LLM. If the sound is "muffled", you can usually correct the sound with filters, exciters and compressors (even automated as in plugins such as Ozone). Bu

I'm not particularly sure what the autor's claim has to do with Wirth, but there is a quote which he could have added to the article: "To hell with AI" (see https://inf.ethz.ch/people/faculty/em

Actually the whole thing has nothing to do with Rust at all. It's just that one of the proposals was about integrating a borrow-checker into C++. The timeline events and technical explanations of Profiles and Safe C++ are accurate, but

This is an interesting system that I studied closely a few years ago, along with a few others based on Lua or Python. What surprises me enormously about all these systems is the fact that, in builds that can become enormously large and comp

This is unexpected. According to the article, research across 80 countries suggests that when schools introduce digital technology, student performance drops significantly. Students who use computers about five hours per day for learning sc

Looks interesting; but somehow this is the umpteenth Rust OS project I came across the last few month; I've lost count.

The author has the opinion, that AI coding tools have made us faster, but we're still the bottleneck because we have to be present and actively engaged. He conclude the next leap in productivity requires letting AI agents work autonomo

So what we need is essentially a "libc virtualization". But Musl is only available on Linux, isn't it? Cosmopolitan ( https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan ) goes further and is available also on Mac and Wi

Interesting, thanks. So you need a Node based server to run it.

Interesting. But what is actually the "unique selling point" compared to Harfbuzz? The "single file" implementation? The size?

Cool. How do you have implemented the latex rendering? Are you using one of the common libraries? Is the rendering (incl. PDF etc.) directly running in the browser, or on the server?

The mastering is amazing; it sounds much better than what the Suno built-in mastering can do (I even hear less of the typical Suno artifacts); can you share what AI mastering you are using?
