I asked a question and it told me that I am at position 96 on the queue and can expect the answer in two hours ;-)

Cool idea. I guess a similar approach with a bit of tweaking would also work with Faust, or recently Cmajor, in combination with an LLM.

That's fascinating. This sounds like a variational autoencoder. The embeddings, which from my humble point of view (as a trained musician) are a largely unexplored field not really supported by existing theory, are at the same time gam

Cool. Generation of symbolic music using transformers is indeed a pretty neglected field. I assume you have to encode more "musical knowledge" into the embeddings than when you "just" compress waveforms. Can you provide

It even preceded "software".

I always wondered why "the entire software industry" is a failure. Now we know it was because variables in Smalltalk are not first-class objects (plus some other essential issues). The comment section of the post is revealing as w

I'm part of the old guard too, and I like the process itself, but I also like the result. I just think his arguments why to avoid AI sound like they're taken from an academic brochure, not like fact-based assessment grounded in re

Would have hoped for better arguments. I got the impression that he is not actually sure why to avoid AI, but welcomes every argument without really having a concept.

Cool. What is the core benefit compared to e.g. Haxe?

That's amazing. Are there measurements of decently large clojure applications both with the interpreter and the original clojure engine on the same machine?

Amazing work, thanks.

That's cool. I wonder how you manage to keep track of everything with this huge all-in-one main.c. Do you plan to achieve 100%? Is there a list of what is actually missing and which relevant projects depend on the missing parts? What a

There are reports by independend testers (e.g. https://briancallahan.net/blog/20211010.html or https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40350384 ) suggesting that range.

Interesting, thanks for posting. I had a first look and think that the AI has messed up with the floating-point and casting instructions (i.e. just copied over the RV instructions). I also spotted other places (e.g. TLS) which look like RV.

Interesting. How does it compare to e.g. Faust or the SuperCollider language? What's the "unique selling point" of Audion compared to other "music programming languages"?

by Rochus 5mo ago
Interesting. Reminds me of Typst (both implemented in Rust and replacing TeX to some degree) and Microtex.

Complexity in music is a very ambiguous "measure". Look at e.g. Brubeck's "Take five", which many consider "complex" because of the unusual time signature; but it's actually a pretty simple piece. On

This is amazing. How long did it take you to implement it, i.e. reach that high level of Ansi test conformance? Have you been able to reuse concepts e.g. from ABCL?

What is this? Any description somewhere? Is this rather like Suno or SoundCloud?

I'm aware of Extempore and its predecessor, but I think they pretty much have the same problem, with no elegant solution (at least I didn't see one when studying the docs and thesis). Maybe the trick is indeed - as you say - to im

I'm still not sure on which composition language to focus on. I definitely don't like languages where a lot of the syntax is "hidden" in strings (such as e.g. in Tidal). Lisp has aspects which fit to music intuitively, b

Sounds nice, thanks. Do you also have experience in other live coding languages? Can you share your thoughts about advantages/disadvantages of Lisp compared to others?

Popper explains that falsificationism is a methodological-philosophical proposal, what he calls "meta-science", and is therefore not subject to its own criterion; different domains of inquiry operate under different criteria of ev
