Totally agree with you on the copyright aspect: that was not an area I touched upon in the post, so thank you very much for pointing it out, since other readers may certainly want to know. Yes I am on Spotify, but that's more because i

Love the passionate replies! I think I especially agree with this comment: >> think that soon, some very accomplished musicians will learn to leverage tools like Suno, but they aren't in the majority yet. We're still in the

Tools like Suno are fundamentally enabling. I'm about 40 years old and never "had the music" - not for lack of trying (music lessons at a young age)... but could never carry a tune or keep rhythm. I suppose its what being d

Written poetry all my life, of varying badness. Have never had the ear or the talent for music though and – unfortunately – always felt I wanted to write “songs” not “poems.” Since 2017, I’ve been trying to “set my poems to music” using the

for folks leaving decidedly negative comments, I would point to the link: https://github.com/multimodal-art-projection/YuE My understanding is that this is a (somewhat) open-source project that does music generation.

Shouldn't the "sonic boom" here provide good data as to the existence of dark matter (akin to the Bullet cluster)? Anyone on hn with good background care to comment? Don't see anything in the article about it, but would

gpt 3.5 has had function calling capability since July 2023 (for user). [1] Yes, they have never mentioned that the 3.5 model already does this in the back-end for certain features. Anyone at OpenAi care to comment... not a particularly con

Is gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct function calling a chess-playing model instead of generating through the base LLM? This is not "cheating" in my opinion... in general better for LLMs to know when to call certain functions, etc.

Yes! Difference is the current-gen EREVs are in a different league of performance with the advancement in electric powertrain and software. Think change between a Model 3 and a Chevy Bolt...

I would note that "hybrids" in China (where plug-in-hybrids have gone to 16% of market share, up 700bps y/y) is a fundamentally different architecture than hybrids in the west. In China (see Li Auto [1] for example) hybrids a

That does sound very high. Not sure where you are, but guessing you are in the US at least. As a comp, SunRun puts out detailed cost estimates for their residential systems each quarter[1]. Their average system cost was $5/watt, but wi

Yes, the cost of GENERATING electricity will undoubtedly be cheaper at the industrial scale level than on your rooftop. But that generated electricity is likely to be a region very far from your (or someone else's) consumption - needin

At this point, utility scale solar projects have reached scale in the supply chain, and cost estimates tend to be quite accurate once you break ground and start construction. Yes items such as solar panels tend to be procured upfront and co

(edited) I think mutable is generating an auto-wiki of your repo. Separately - would like to know if wiki can be auto-generated from a large corpus of text. Should be a much simpler problem? Any answers would be much appreciated!

This one and Sid Meier's "Memoir!" are two of my favourite software dev stories. Both are quick easy reads / and from the same era... code-nostalgia and hard- business mixed together.
