What do you think about Behringer who announced a re/issue of the CZ-1 as a small module. I personally have many of the replicas that Behringer made of old synthesizers and I love them dearly. Finally I can aford the synths of the 70s

These is a digital replica of the original synthesizer Casio CZ-1 from the 1980s by Arturia. It has a very distinct sound. Some demos are here to show how it sounds like: https://www.arturia.com/products/software-instru

When you are 65 then you already have done a lot for the economy of the country. The probelm at hand is that 30% of the workforce will retire in 2030 because of the baby boom in 60s. In the 2030s there will be many open jobs for young peopl

Yes the proposal is quite interesting. But do you really think a 60 year old software developer will want to work in a social service job? He was working his ass off for 40 years in daily scrums or so and then he should be doing social work

So when I pay an intern to do a google search and make a short report of the facts that he was finding and giving it back to me, this is not a problem, but when I ask an AI to do the same it suddenly is problem. Well I dont get it. just my

I highly recommend inoreader.com. It is like the old google reader on steroids. It is the first app I open in the morning to get my news and my personal feed consists of some 4000 single feeds from everything that I gathered on the internet

For legacy hardware (synths, samplers) there are not many options when the company who produced them is out of business like E-mu or Ensoniq. I have 2 of these old keyboards and now I am trying to replace the floppy und SCSI drives with som

ok I bite. I have a Go, a Quest1, a Quest2, several adaptors for mobile phones, even an old kickstarter model of a VR headset with an intel atom cpu and stock android. I have a stereo/360 camera (Vuze VR) and I love all these gadgets.

As I said in another comment down below. Currying is great for rapid prototyping because you dont have to define a new function. eg. add1 and add(1) which you then can use for map/reduce or pointfree programming. In production code it

In my experience, functional programming really shines in rapid prototyping. However, in production code I would try to avoid it, because it can confuse developers that are not used to it and also sometimes I struggle myself when decoding t

Currying is only a part of the functional programming stack. It can make your life easier when you combine it with other functional programming techniques like tacit programming. e.g. you have a function with a very long arguments list and

When I did my PhD in the late 80s we were simulating Kelvin-Helmholtz Instabilities on supercomputers with application to solar dynamics. It is very nice to see that they exist and behave like predicted. There are plenty of other plasma ins

This! GPT is not an "intelligence" by itself, but more an extension to the human brain, like an "exocortex" holding information that we cannot or dont want to keep in our neocortex. Google search was the first of these &

There are already multiline lambda functions available by using the walrus operator: foo = lambda x: ( z:=x+1, zz:=z*2, zz+7 )[-1] it defines a tuple and returns the last element. List comprehensions, walrus operator and lambda make a f

When we look at LLMs and stable diffusion which mimic intelligence we see that random seeds are crucial for the inference process to produce an output. Maybe there is some random number generator also in the human brain which is necessary f

Maybe the behaviour of LLMs can shed some light into this discussion. Does a LLM have free will? Obviously not because it is just a software running on a computer. But even when you ask an LLM exactly the same questions you will get totally

Can you also compensate against decoherence? I thought this is the magic limit when the QC breaks. See also: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/decoherenc...

What puzzles me with IBMs roadmap is their scaling: 2025 156 qubits, 5000 gates 2028 156 qubits, 15K gates 2029 200 qubits, 100M gates 2033 2000 qubits, 1B gates The jump from 15K to 100M gates looks fishy to me. Maybe I am wrong bu

The big unsolved problem in QC is the lifetime of the QC itself until decoherence. Imagine a computer where you can execute a maximum of 1800 commands (IBM Heron) and then it is broken. That is the status of QC at the moment. A QC might sto

The inventor of APL, Ken Iverson, also made the language J which is very much influenced by APL but does not use the special characters of APL. Think of it as ASCII-APL. It is a very nice language to program in and they have a decent user c
