It does make me question humans and thinking but in the opposite direction. It is like sitting down at a piano, sight reading a piece from sheet music and then someone who has no idea what they are talking about claiming you composed the mu

I think it is pretty cool for the first time trying something like this. It seems like chain of thought combined with search. Seems like it looks for 30 some references and then comes back with an overview of what it found. Then you can dig

You also didn't have "sampler music". People did creative things with samplers but people didn't seek out music based on the sampler. As mentioned, current AI music is listening to recordings of Muzak like what they use

This is my first time using anything from Perplexity and I am liking this quite a bit. There seems to be such variance in the utility people find with these models. I think it is the way Feynman wouldn't find much value in what the lan

EXACTLY. I suspect there has been a decade long Three-card monte on the front end in that change is good because change keeps front end salary up. Personally, the sooner LLMs make all front end developers unemployed the better.

It all comes down to a religious faith in AGI or not. There can't be things that a human can program that AGI can not program or it is not "AGI". While I am never a true believer in AGI, it seems to go I get a little faith wh

It is just very random. LLMs help me write a synthesizer using an odd synth technique in an obscure musical programming language with no problem, help me fix my broken linux system no problem but then can't do anything right with the p

I think you are not understanding how difficult it is for people with types of phobias about germs and illness. Imagine being obsessive compulsive about cleanliness and germs, then the pandemic comes along. You would never recover from that

I think the use cases are just too wide and varied. If someone made me the perfect DAW for my needs, it would be so narrow they would quickly go out of business. The DAW has to cover so many different use cases and styles that I don't

Can't agree more. Might be the most crazy thing I have ever seen done in the browser. It actually demotivates me to work on music and motivates me to work on some web app ideas. I am not sure who the audience is though either. Reaper w

You don't know this though with even a high probability. It is quite possible there is a cultural reaction against AI and that we enter a new human cultural golden age of human created art, music, literature, etc. I actually would bet

The inflation rate is an index over a huge number of datasets. If a single stock I own that is in the S&P 500 has a bad year while the S&P 500 index still goes up it doesn't mean the index is wrong or useless. It means you don&

I have thought a lot about this and it is why I think remote is doomed long term at the mass market because of a type of scaling property. I am much more productive working remote. It isn't even close. The dysfunctional slacker at the

How about mind your own business? The main problem to me is everyone wants to tell everyone else what to do "for the good of society" but over my lifetime this has been a slow acting cultural poison. Less than 20 years ago it cost

We take the affordability completely for granted also. It looks like in the 70s a flight from NY to LA was $1000 USD adjusted for inflation. My grandfather took a flight one time in his life, near the end of his life. Why? Because most of h

IMO it was just the strongest model for awhile for programming. It got the answers right more often than not. It is faster than the reasoning/chain of thought models. With current o1 and DeepSeek though I haven't logged into Claud

I would be pretty shocked if the Anthropic reasoning model is not mind blowing and doesn't take the lead back.

Thanks. I had not seen the wait paper yet. That is crazy. s1: Simple test-time scaling https://arxiv.org/pdf/2501.19393

At this point I think it is because of a type of religious sentimentality about the sanctity of human reasoning. To take your analogy even further, it is like asking when is the plane going to improve enough that it can really fly by flappi

This app is as interesting as Pollocks's art. A few moments of "interesting" then you close the browser and move on.

I think it probably correlates with low openness. If you are low in openness, I could see psychedelics having long lasting effects on a person's personality. I have never found the effects to be lasting at all either but my openness is

In most US states you would certainly not want to get caught by law enforcement with 99 grams of mushrooms. $3,500 seems like they are catering towards an upper class customer with some kind of premium session. I am certain there would be m

No, you aren't understanding the point. The point is to make something stripped down compared to Reaper. The problem with modern DAW software is you end up getting lost in the infinite possibilities. It is counter intuitive but constra

Surely a side project. It is actually really good too. There is quite a problem with creativity being stifled by the infinite possibilities of a modern DAW. Everything feels super fast and responsive on it too. I am going to spend a good am

I suspect there is a bimodal distribution here. Eggs are perfectly fine if you don't have a genetic predisposition to high cholesterol. My genes are bad though for this so eating a 180mg of cholesterol an egg is kind of foolish. If I w

The bet is stupid. David Lynch The Grandmother would be considered a "masterpiece" by this definition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y0rYWVcxF4 Anyone could make something along those lines right now with AI to

This is all the Curtis Yarvin influence. There is that period in US history that the president was acting more like a king, Taft to FDR. They were doing much more executive orders then that we have been use to the past 80 years. It all is q

Totally agree. It is really in both sides interest to make TSMC irrelevant in Taiwan and avoid WW3. So we will have a cold war, trade war and saber rattling until that time. Then when the chips don't matter someday Taiwan will become o
