My guess - these are not not on PyPI because of libraries. AI generating is good when you don't care about how your app works, when implementation details does not matter.

When you are developing library it's exact opposite - you really care about how it works and which interface it provides so you end up writing it mostly by hand.

The old world is sunsetting, and the new paradigm is still in the incubation phase. We’re currently navigating a period of massive disruption—it’s officially the era of the monsters. Time to lean in, pivot, and embrace the chaos.

Sizing chaos 5 months ago

Forget oil rig units. Clothes sizing is the true cursed unit system.

There’s an old electronics joke that if you want to build an oscillator, you should try building an amplifier

This can be easily demonstrated using so called no-input technique[0] which basically means that you patch audio mixer output to it's input and it starts feedbacking and you can create some tones from this. Note that this needs to be done carefully.

Which AI did you used? It seems it's quite happy with inventing non-existing things [0] or adding nonsense to real things [1]. I like it for that - it's nice artistic demonstration about pitfalls of AI. Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius [3] in real life.

This was the case when there was only MME. With something like a Voicemeter and Audacity you can have similar setup. I was able to have voice call on Messenger and simultanously stream it to the Facebook using OBS.

But it's very clunky, that's true.

It does not work for people who are using web interface of e-mail only. It would be nice to provide textual instructions (sent this subject to this e-mail) instead of mailto links only.

Oh but that default style for Shortbread is so ugly! No contrast, missing details and lots of information lost.

Hopefully it's vector tiles and information are there (I checked in Maputik) so it's possible to create my own style (which I will definitely try).

I am already working on something similar yet much smaller - simple, easy to use 2D CAD for hobbyists, maps and geometric art. I have working prototype implemented in lua (Love2D) [0] and barebones text based file format[1].

Curently I am experimenting with drawing things in DeltaCAD (another easy to use CAD - unfortunately abandonware now), converting it to my format (via DXF export) and displaying it with javascript. I want to reimplement second version in javascript to be able to run it in browser and use better GUI components than those which I tried to implement myself.

Feedback: Bad UX. After scanning your example code I got page which asked me to take photo and I get really confused because I thought you want me to scan QR code again but there is no way to switch to other camera of my phone.

Overall this feels too complicated. Unfriendly to people without smartphone or mobile internet. I understand this is DIY equivalent of camera doorbell, but I would definitely prefer some no-name chinese radio doorbell both as one ringing and maintaining it.

I am not surprised as Unxtal is very low level and with lot of constraints. It looks more like some tool of demoscene than a practical programming platform.

But there is some backslash against feminism in western world and there are communities where OF is (and always was) off the limits. Also I think that some parts of OF are at least debateable from feminist POV.

Old Android device with (pirated APK of) Caustic 3[0]. Or old Windows PC with Ultranos Dreamer[1] if you wanna go really medieval.

[0] Caustic 3 was removed from Google Play unfortunately, you need to download it from alternative sources

Medieval 2 years ago

Yeah, it was all 90s ROMplers and soundfounts. I can definitely record some dungeon synth bangers with my Kawai K1 (which is basically ROMpler, just samples are single cycle waveforms) and it sounds just right.

Medieval 2 years ago

I found it really funny. It's obviously probably useless for actual medieval music[0] but I think it can find it's users in bardcore or dungeon synth circles.

You can definitely recreate this just by collecting appropriate VSTs and sample libraries, even probably by just loading some "medieval samples" to some groovebox.

But if I got this second hand on cheap price I would definitely make some fun with it even if it has somewhat cryptic labels.

I wrote a document about "small web" protocols: scorpion://zzo38computer.org/smallweb.txt

Is this available on other protocol? (Ideally HTTP, Gopher or Gemini would be good too). It seems you already have gopher site but I was not able to locate it there.
