I really wish I had studied piano for that reason. I put many years into flute and almost went to conservatory for it, so I can play pretty much any melody by ear after hearing it, but I have zero ability to do the same for harmonies&#x2F

Yeah, this is going to be interesting. First thing I did with the new Instinct bot was have it generate a property tax value appeal for me. Which will almost definitely go through; it's a slam dunk case but I'd been putting it off

I have a related question as someone who's been fully remote for about 12 years now, including all of my time in more senior/management roles: how does in person work even work for people who are in meetings all day every day? My

Great question. I’m using MOSS-audio for that which feels good (and is fast/small enough) but not sufficient to give useful feedback out of the box. I’m working on fine tuning it on a bunch of masterclasses on YouTube and recordings so

I'm working on Trebella [0], a tool to help classical music students structure their practice sessions more effectively. I tried to build something similar ~10 years ago in the form of a more interactive music game, but felt like it wa

I think they are lying. We all know Sam Altman is a scheming liar; it's not inconceivable that HF is in on this one.

In theory I could see really enjoying them in an action sports (backcountry skiing, mountain biking, rock climbing) setting. I'd want 1) true AR that could annotate terrain with stuff like slope angle, aspect etc, 2) all the GPS and mo

Why did they discontinue that? It was a very good product; we got them for all the grandparents and they worked really well at bringing the family together across distance. Could have fit in so well with WhatsApp too. But then they just kil

I saw those and got excited; I've been using Mathematica for decades and do a lot of work with symbolic music. Unfortunately they are extremely surface level in this release. It looks like there isn't even any ability to load&#x

I strongly agree on that being the release where these tools got good enough to substantially speed up my professional work. I have to admit I was super skeptical of AI coding until then.

Oh hey, I'm building something loosely related to this too. Can I ask what need isn't being met by say, Forscore?

I was about to say "what, we've had records for decades" but then I read the changelog. Interesting. I wonder if there a world where Elixir starts compiling maps to "native records"?

I went all in on the Nest ecosystem when I bought my house eight years ago, and Google absolutely ruined it with the botched acquisition. Half the stuff is Google branded, half is Nest branded, a different half has Google branded software a

Oh dude, I love this. I've been working on an interactive music thingy ( https://trebel.la , it's sort of gamified but more designed to structure practice sessions for serious classical musicians) and struggling with the

Same. Well the biggest thing I don't want to do that they could help with is work. But in the cases where it can do that for me, there's no world where that benefit goes to me rather than my employer.

That actually sounds... really nice. Like they've borrowed some of the things from traditional theatre that make the experience not awful. My reference point for movie theatres is the late 90s/early 2000s so maybe I'll have t

wait... I don't think I've ever experienced assigned seats in a movie theatre. Is that a thing?

Maybe I'm missing something as I am not a frontend developer, but when you embed SVGs in an img tag as part of a Phoenix LiveView or even just a static component, you no longer get the ability to dynamically change paths/fills&#x2

This is my experience too. I actually briefly took the cool exciting climate change related science job and then realized that I couldn’t actually support my family’s lifestyle on $160k so I left and went back to surveillance capitalism. I

Ooo, does everywhere in Sugarhouse have access to this now? We've been up in Park City relying on wireless point-to-point but are about to move back down to the valley and that is very exciting.

My version of fizzbuzz (I'm in backend/ML/NLP) is counting how many times each word appears in a string. Literally `return Counter(text.lower().split())` but it's totally fine if you want to do it in a for loop or whatev

Does that include VAT? Also the USD has been getting weaker quickly so I wouldn’t be surprised if the differential there is even larger than when they settled on pricing.

Do we understand how to scale up the hardware to the point it can run a frontier model? Because this is insane. It will be a game changer for agent systems making 10-100+ calls.
