Wonderful, soon an old Octatrack will be as much as a car

For sure, I just know it’s tempting given the power of large transformers to throw things at an existing model. For instance, OCR is something that can be done locally with no access to a GPU but people (including me) still often use cloud

Are there any LLMs being widely used for audio classification? I know VLMs are being used a lot in image stuff. It always seems kind of silly to me to throw everything at an LLM. I know they’re huge and can automatically handle a huge numbe

Solving millennium problems doesn’t pay the bills. Their best models might be quite good when directed at extremely difficult and very focused problems, but most business use cases are nothing like that. Edit: Not trying to imply these new

Why would someone hold the opposite opinion? It’s much more likely that our current approach to large language models for general use will eventually show diminishing improvements (even if you think it hasn’t yet), than the opposite situati

I don’t think you’ve fully considered what can happen when concentration of wealth continues past a certain point.

If you can learn Elektron gear it’s like a music creation superpower though. I tried with a Digitakt and couldn’t get into the flow

From what I remember reading it was pretty limited and only applied to context menu actions. I was pretty disappointed when I saw that, but they’ll probably expand it

Haha yeah I think I’m mostly speaking from nostalgia. I do remember wrestling with knobs in Massive or whatever free VSTi back in the day was pretty terrible. I can’t deny I love the look, though.

Reminds me of VST GUIs, looks great! But, like other commenters have noted, I think a number of these controls might be desktop only, which is totally fine. There’s too much UI stuff centered around mobile anyway these days

Are there significant differences re: sandboxing between Lua and monty? Just curious if there are any holes that a Lua sandbox has that monty might account for

I also often need EQ in the reverse situation, when I need less bass through my nice studio monitors when watching TV. Otherwise I’ll be watching Star Trek with dialogue at a normal volume and BOOM, the loudest photon torpedo you’ve ever he

In the context of lab hardware there’s a ton of proprietary software and barriers to automating things. I think this is less about how to communicate, and more guaranteeing that “yes, this piece of hardware can interface with an agent” and

Agreed that DuckDB as a server feels far from their initial mission, but how does async IO divert from it?

I think the fact that these kinds of companies were portrayed as such in fiction kind of prevents them from adopting the cool aesthetic. Like they need something to separate them from being the exact image of an evil futuristic corporation

So this is just a collection of citations to places where misaligned or illegal things happened in the real world? Isn’t this affected heavily by adoption of a model? I feel like this might as well be a proxy for how popular a model is. In

DuckDB is an in-process (now I guess less so with Quack) OLAP database for analytical workloads. PostgreSQL or MariaDB are OLTP row-oriented databases that are great for application/transaction-focused workloads but are less great when

I don’t think I really agree with the author’s approach here, but I will say LLMs have been a huge help to me as I’ve been reviewing linear algebra and diving into signal processing. Anything in a textbook that I don’t fully grasp or am con

I’m not talking about the actions we take or how we might perform at certain tasks, I’m talking about how our brains actually work. My point is that we have no idea how I’m able to imagine an apple and see it in my mind’s eye. It’s basicall

All arguments like this boil down to semantics at a certain point, but yes large language models can “intuit” because they can generalize between examples. The issue then becomes how you pack new examples into context. Humans can “intuit” b

I would imagine the extension system they built would be much more difficult to manage. They could have opted for Lua, though, I suppose.

I’ve often thought of this kind of concept for a programming language. Maybe it’s the qwerty keyboard or my bad typing habits but certain characters break my flow when typing.

Agreed, but I do think this is a wholly different kind of hype. With crypto currencies it was the promise of modernizing value exchange, with some zealots promising the end of traditional currency. With this, I’m hearing (from supposedly re

I’m kind of curious why the decision to have implicit casting like this was made in the first place. I can’t think of a single upside other than not having to type out cast(foo as bar)

Interesting! I’ll have to try a cooking the recipe for shorter. I am a bit skeptical since my family’s sauce is the best in the world already :)

Haven’t heard of forever sauce but my family makes sauce by cooking it pretty much all day. If we ate it every day then yeah we might as well keep a pot on the stove all the time

A lot of those things you mentioned have sticking power because they’re familiar to folks and migrating to something else is a big deal. I can’t imagine most people would be able to tell the difference between Sonnet and GLM 5.2. If the inf
