I can’t, and it’s not really the point. The point is that I got exposed to a new way of looking at a phenomenon that I haven’t thought about before.

For me it was a few years ago. I had seen a twitter comment referencing astrology in a spat with two black female musicians in the US. My preconception was to look up why that kind of superstition was prevalent in those circles. The answer

Some things I’ve used AI for the last year or so: - small club website: https://www.kolibrinkpg.com - ticketing system with Stripe payments and QR scanning at the door - Instagram/media ingestion for the club site - genealo

I think the really dangerous part here is not just “surveillance bad”. It is that AI removes the labour cost that used to limit surveillance. CCTV was already a problem, but someone still had to watch it, search it, interpret it, escalate i

I’m working on something close to that. At the moment it’s just for ableton. The idea is to be able to sync a daw project, binaries will be saved on cloudflare and then use git for certain cases where it’s possible to merge. In case one per

I think the article make some great points, however this part is not even wrong: "The obvious objection is that code produced at that speed becomes unmanageable, a liability in itself. That is a reasonable concern, but it largely appli

I think some type of tickets can be done like this but your trusted user assumption does a lot of work here. Now I don't see this getting better than that with the current architecture of LLMs, you can do all sorts of feedback mechanis

Possibly, but probably not in less time and the point was partly learn to use agentic coding and also having it do exactly what I wanted.

I’ve done a event ticket system that’s in production. Stripe integration, resend for mailing and a scan app to scan tickets. It’s for my own club but it’s been working quite well. Took about 80 hours from inception to live with a focus on t

I don’t really find “can the model produce good code?” that interesting anymore. In the right workflow, it plainly can. I’ve gotten code out of LLMs that is not just faster than I’d write by hand, but often better in the ways that matter: t

This was my first literary experience, my mother read it to me when I was three years old. Seeing Janssons rendering of Smaug made me remember it was this version she read for me.

Totally get it, and I think we’re describing the same control loop from different angles. Where I differ slightly is: “100% coverage” can turn into productivity theatre. It’s a metric that’s easy to optimize while missing the thing you actu

I don’t use plan.md docs either, but I recognise the underlying idea: you need a way to keep agent output constrained by reality. My workflow is more like scaffold -> thin vertical slices -> machine-checkable semantics -> repeat. C

I think the deluge on projects on show HN points to something real, its possible today to ship projects as a one man shop that looks like something that just a year or so would have required a team. Personally I have noticed strange effects

I lived in London for 15 years. Southbank and the Barbican were some of my favourite places there. Barbican is particularly interesting since its part of the city of London, and whereas the city mostly contains bad neoclassical designs that

I think you are right, the secret is that there is no secret. The projects I have been involved with thats been most successful was using these techniques. I also think experience helps because you develop a sense that very quickly knows if

This matches my experience, especially "don’t draw the owl" and the harness-engineering idea. The failure mode I kept hitting wasn’t just "it makes mistakes", it was drift: it can stay locally plausible while slowly walk

Haha, almost, we add an extra word and some signifiers. "Vi ses i röken och dimman! " It actually means something specific. We tend to use a smoke machine a lot on our nights, one time the police showed up because they thought the

Totally fair. It’s a real monthly music night, not software. The Show HN part is the site + media (so people can see the scale/atmosphere), and the thing we’re trying to share is the operating model: how you get strangers to show up al

As the other poster commented Kolibri is hummingbird in Swedish. The name was inspired by 2 things. A feeling of lightness and ease connected with carefree summer nights and also the intros of all versions of pacific by 808 state.

Kul att höra från dig! Det är många olika personer runt Kolibri som känner dig från Berlin som t.ex. Henrik Maneuever så det var extra kul när du besökte oss.

Thanks you so much, Maria & Jonatan

We do agree with this, we both prefer attending small gigs ourselves for that exact reason. Also, all bands has to start somewhere, it takes many small gigs to create an audience and develop their craft. Writing and producing songs is one t

You’re very welcome! Next one is Feb 27: Sydney Valette (Paris) + Coppia (Eskilstuna). https://sydneyvalette.bandcamp.com/ https://coppia.bandcamp.com/

Nice, you’d be very welcome. Strong spring lineup. Tonight is Hidden Lines, end of Feb Sydney Valette (Paris), and 20 March Liminal Project (UK) + Yugoslavia (ES) with Inåt Bakåt Records. On 11 April there’s a one-day festival in Norrköping

Thanks. The idea came from trying to visualise “listening to music” in a way that actually works on social media without filming crowds inside a club. The constraint forced a better format.

OP here (Maria & Jonatan). This took off while we were asleep. Maria is the creative force and writes Swedish very well. We used ChatGPT as a bouncing board to translate/tighten the English and get the story across. The piece refle

A few concrete mechanisms that made this work (happy to expand): * “Host layer”: greeting newcomers + making it safe to arrive alone mattered more than we expected. * Curation as governance: coherent music changes how people behave in
