This is great stuff, I feel like fast disk (SSD) is a somewhat solvable problem, if you have many disks with the same content and a fast controller (?).

I have the one with Go code on it, unfortunately I don't think that one would even compile.

Interesting that it doesn't specifically call out Anti-Virus scanning (which does occasionally result in at least one of these scenarios). I've seen many SQLite database become corrupted and the best you can do is have a backup.

The memory manufacturers have made an interesting mistake. The tech giants of the world will be working to replace them from the supply chain as soon as possible. China already makes it's own RAM albeit at 16nm but you can bet they are working to get down to 4nm.

How does this get on the front page of hacker news?

It's a shame because it's a great little guitar practice tool and the thing it was inspired by has long since been left to rot.

However they will be relaunching soon as fee[dB]ack and are likely to end up bigger than the original.

It looks a little basic but it's actually pretty cool.

Nice, surprised this isn't attracting more comments. Obviously it's an AI-first development and it doesn't render a lot of stuff but it's still impressive.

We'll see more of these and hopefully with standard licenses like MIT (why go for a weird license on this one?) but what's interesting is how far you can get based on interpreting the standards and running industry tests. That suggest we need more written standards information (implementation guidance) and more tests.

Would love to see this done for the Spark amp as well, this level of hardware hacking is beyond my skill set.

I recently built my own Multi FX app/plugin (https://guitar.soundshed.com) and am looking for ways to squeeze it (or a version of it's signal chain) into commodity hardware as replacement DSP signal chain.

This is awesome, couldn't the firmware just be extracted from the updater though?

Owning a home is like paying into a bank account made from bricks, but it increases in value. Yes it requires upkeep and maintenance, because entropy wants it to be a decaying pile of rubble. The land will always have a value, so maintenance is kind of optional-ish.

The people trying to convince you to keep renting are, sometimes, rental investors stealing from your children's inheritance. Renting is paying a property investors mortgage in return for a home you don't have to/cannot directly maintain but you are still paying for the maintenance on a weekly/monthly basis at an agreed rate with annual increases.

On the other hand if you're not going to have kids it's bit like Brewsters Millions where you try to spend everything you make without acquiring assets and without running out of money while you still need it.

You can always sell and go back to renting, but if you rent for 30 yrs you will put at least a couple of homes worth of your earnings into renting over that period.

I don't think you can go completely hands-off for quality products but you can relax and let the agent do as much as possible. It does enable things that probably wouldn't have happened otherwise.

If you are already comfortable with letting other devs work on features then it's easier, because it's similar (arguably you have more control with AI, because what you say goes regardless of hierarchy).

Cool, seems a bit niche? Antigravity is ok but not so ok as to want to clone it, might just be me.

Years you say. Snark mode activated.

If you are "choosing" between operating systems, son get some rest it's past your bedtime.

If on the other hand there are 3 or more different operating systems running on your current desk, with multiple VMs, well ok lets talk.

Linux fan, great? Have you ever patched the kernel, that seems like the minimum before I can take you seriously as a voice of experience. Running other people distro scripts doesn't count but I'll accept applying a diff. Basic points if you have configured swap manually and know the lifetime of your /tmp

macOS user, awesome, do you know what a kext is. No? Oh. Never built a hackintosh? Uh, ok.

Windows, great, you know how to open a command prompt as system, right? Wait you've never heard of sysinternals huh, cool yeah.

If you're going to lecture others or roll your eyes at an OS, start from at least ankle deep levels of experience.

What we really need is a wipe on self leveling version. Finishing guitars is hard!

I'm ignoring the attempted trademark trickery because TLDR; blah AI is evil blah blah other stuff.

The key takeaway from this is that drama loving dinosaurs live among us. Moving on.

"Can I Get Claude to Fly A Plane" isn't the same thing. Interesting though, would be a good test for different models but it relies on the test harness being good enough that a human could also use the same info to achieve the required outcome. e.g. if latency of input/output is too slow then nobody could do it.

You want me to pay for your UI coding subscription?

My first thought was does VS Code Insiders use it (or anything it relies on, or do any extensions etc). Made me think.

Ha, well proof that AI let's you build anything you can imagine. Wait till I show you Remote Desktop, one day macOS and Linux will catch up.

For a HN front page article this is light on content. Should have used AI.

I've used similar with SQL Server Management Studio (GH copilot) and it's pretty useful for database work and gnarly queries.

This is great, but I'd prefer to see a refit of their UI first, it's currently a bit slow and looks prehistoric.

The most surprising thing is that everyone here is an expert on true temperament. Who would have guessed.

I'm guessing the music will be much like this one (more about fun than having the best actual songs) but didn't know there was a track with both Chris Poland and Marty Friedman: https://open.spotify.com/track/7yDb6NVzvuUVuvLyTSfDhz?si=0c5...

It's Rad. It doesn't even have to be good, it just has to exist.

My 2c : automatically disliking something because a computer did part of it is at best lazy, at worst wrong, but it should be up to individuals what they do and don't like. I get that they just want to have a ban-hammer to punish bots with, that's understandable.

So where's the line? - if I use computer generated drums is that banned? Lots of tunes use computers for drums - if I use computer generated vocals is that different? Lots of vocals are heavily processed an have been for decades. Some have been computer generated.

Nice but 2008 called and want their git web UI back. I can't take anything "modern" seriously if it seems firmly archaic, my problem I get it.

No my job is sitting eating this here donuts.
