I am definitely behind this.

Generative AI changed the market. It's impossible to find someone decent now among the generative AI users who churn out stuff which is absolutely objectively shite. I've got a small network of people who I know who don't use it fortunately and they are being screwed as well because they can't compete even though their work is at least two orders of magnitude better quality.

The worst bit is the generative AI users push the same perspective which is unique and bespoke service from individual designers. You don't know it's generative AI until the paid for samples turn up.

It's a disaster. A race to the bottom. Factory farmed content.

Looks a lot like LiteXL. Is it based off it? What makes it different?
Looks very polished, also glad to see a launch with a mac build.

I'd love a write up from the devs on how these type of games are built. I understand arcade style games, but not how you write structs to support these types of games.

It looks very challenging to design and program by the sheer amount of stuff happening in real time, and the careful balance of gameplay. Then again I could be completely outdated and it's not a technological feat in today's standards.
There's an example in the comment you're replying to. A Voron [0] printer is designed around the Raspberry Pi as the default SBC.

It's an open-source 3D printer design, you want video encoding for your camera stream on the printer.

For projects intended to be built by ordinary people, a Raspberry Pi is a very accessible, reliable and well supported device with a track record, it's a no-brainer.

Your software might be targeting ARM, Pi boards are likely lower-power consumption than an N100 board, your application may not need the compute of an N100 (My Voron 2.4 is using about 20-30% CPU on a Pi4, while streaming (hardware encoding) a 720p camera feed, and printing at 400mm/s); the N100 launched last year; many projects built around Raspberry Pis are much, much older than that. There's _plenty_ of reasons to use a Pi over the N100. Also, N100 isn't an SBC it's a CPU, so who are you buying the finished board from, and what can you expect from them in terms of software and support? We know very well what to expect from RP at this point.

I'm not saying RPi is the answer to everything, but the N100 isn't the answer either.

Because that would require building a testing protocol (what specific outcomes are predicted, how it would be measured, and what constitutes success/failure), and it must pass peer review.

Since this has not happened, Stockhom Syndrome is not considered testable (because no such scientific tests have been defined). If one were to successfully design a testing protocol for it, it would then be considered testable. For now, it's not even a theory.
Seems at odds with the 'cloud everything' zeitgeist.

*EDIT*: I just realised that the demo you're talking about doesn't include the "early reflections"! So that demo only includes echoes which have gone through the main feedback delays at least once.

If you mix in some of the diffused signal directly, it bridges the gap between the initial sound and the feedback echoes: https://signalsmith-audio.co.uk/writing/2021/lets-write-a-re...

---

You can tune the diffuser to have an almost-instant onset. I can't remember what I did last time, but at a guess, having the largest diffuser stage increase by a factor of N (number of channels) instead of 2 might do it.

But also, if you're playing acoustic drums in a big space like a concert hall (instead of a long one like a staircase), the first echoes coming back from the walls are actually a bit delayed (1 foot ~= 1ms, at the speed of sound). So if your nearest wall is 10ft away, the first wall-echoes will come 10-20ms after the initial direct sound.

The best recommendations I get on Spotify are usually via their users that listened to artist X, also listened to artist Y type recommendations. That combined with their list of most popular tracks per artist gives me a rich source of new things to listen to. Their regular recommendations aren't great; it falls into the same "more of the same shit" trap that most other recommendation systems fall into.

The reason this simple mechanism works so well is that it gets rid of personal biases and instead taps into a community of listeners listening to the same stuff. Confirmation bias is the core issue here. I don't want confirmation bias. I want my biases challenged with new things. Not randomly new but based on what others are listening to that listen to similar things. And not just randomly based on everything I listen to but on specific things that I'm playing.

Vector similarity of artists could be an interesting angle. But it would probably risk pulling out a lot of cover bands and imitators. You want stuff that is close but not too close.
I wonder how many backends are just pure CRUD with all business rules implemented on the frontend? Scary to think. I'm forever having to tell devs that form validation in js isn't enough, you need to do it on the backend too (or, preferably, only). This article is about reading data you shouldn't be able to, but my strong suspicion is a bunch of stuff out there will let you write stuff you shouldn't be able to as well.
I wonder where do you find information like this? E.g. how a reverd is made, how those electronic drum sounds from classic drum machines are made and so on? Is there something like a big catalogue of different tricks and algorithms?

This filled me with longing and borrowed nostalgia. I grew up on the West coast but read vast amounts of children’s literature about Long Island childhoods like Josh describes. (I’m a Boomer and eventually realized that such books were ubiquitous because all the big publishers were in Manhattan. The editors just hired their friends, who often lived in the suburbs because they had kids. They could get a few acres for the price of a Brooklyn brownstone. They usually wrote for magazines or ad agencies, a pretty decent living.) These cheerful little books were junk. That’s what I needed. They kept me sane when not taking care of my alcoholic parents or being beaten. It is because of those books that I dreamed of owning a farm, finally acquiring one 50 years after I first dreamed of it, and sadly after most of our children were adults. Despite being in Seattle it has a bit of East Coast vibe.

Josh seems to have a wonderful relationship with reasonably well-adjusted parents. Elsewhere in his blog he describes building not one but two models of his father’s law office, where Josh spent countless hours as a child. What a beautiful thing to be as accomplished as the people in Josh’s family and to be so nostalgic. Gave me shivers!

The prompt here sounds like something a generative AI tool would struggle to make look poster-worthy, while also being something I'd expect flesh-and-blood artists in marketing to come up with, draw, and think it's a good idea.

This is to say, I can tell (bad) AI art from human art by a type of technical mistakes made, but not by absurdity of the depicted concept.

They did not caught up. There are two kind of IMUs: one where you have to account for the rotation of the Earth during signal processing and one where there is no point because it will be lost in the noise anyway. The smartphone/quadcoptee IMUs are the second kind. The first kind is still export controlled.

>I think there is still a market for the old offensive comedies

There is but not from Hollywood.

>There are comics out there who simply don’t care about getting cancelled

Yeah but Disney and major studios won't touch them.

>The people raising hell on Twitter were never the audience

The doesn't mean Disney and the rest aren't pandering to online social activists. Just look at the new Snow White where they're pushing the girl boss trope who doesn't need a man, doesn't clean the Dwarves' home, and didn't use real live actors for the Dwarves because Peter Dinklage complained about it being offensive to people with dwarfism. Hollywood lives in a bubble.

>Disney has been trying to please all those people and there stock has tanked

And they'll keep doing it as long as they own the world's biggest IPs like Star Wars, Marvel, etc. Once people stop watching their slop altogether they'll stop as well.

Assuming prices for this type of device rise at the same rate as CPI.

In practice, the inflation rate for most sectors is very different to the CPI average, so these “adjusted for inflation” numbers are pretty meaningless.

Well, there's a huge backlash against generative AI amongst creatives. At least amongst many pro photographers and illustrators. Check the Krita forum also. It may not be formally documented but many people hate generative AI. I am a pro photographer and hate it immensely.

Many people I know of hate AI as well. I work for one of the largest independent photography sites on the net (Photography Life) and all of us dislike AI and have even put "AI-free" in our logo. Many of us want AI to die.
No, it lists what the specific reasons were.

* Best Novel – 天帆 (Cosmo Wings) by 江波 (Jiang Bo) – publication in 2024

* Best Fancast (2) – 铥铥科幻电波 (Diu Diu Sci Fi Radio) – also a professional production.

Cosmo Wings wasn't published in time, and Discover X and Diu Diu Sci Fi Radio were professional productions so not eligible for the Best Fancast category.

I am a professional photographer and writer. I am 100% AI-free: I don't use any generative AI for my writing, photography, or graphic design (I do some of that as well). I absolutely hate AI and want no part of it.
> I'll gladly pay the $30 for 8GB (4x) more ram. Pretty much every time.

But why? SBC are not supposed to be used as a general purpose computer. They're supposed to be used for some single task. If this task requires 2 GB RAM, why would you pay more for unused RAM? That makes little sense.

Of course if you're building a personal computer, home server or something like that with unspecified tasks, that makes sense.

Yup. Generative AI is the useful part of "useful arts and sciences". 99%+ of content that goes into training those models is, on its own, useless and worthless, and the greatest value by far it can bring to society is to be part of the training dataset. That also applies to art that may have had some value when published, but now languishes in obscurity - AI is giving it a second life, a way to benefit society far more than originally did.

So yeah, if we're going by the (idealized version of) intent of copyright, it stands strongly on the side of AI.

EDIT:

And before someone complains that SOTA models are trained and owned by private parties -- copyright is "promoting the progress of useful arts and sciences" by literally giving private parties a monopoly to make money off art as an incentive.
You absolutely can compress a subset of a billion images into a billion parameters if you throw out all but a thousand. Is it no longer copyright infringement if you also run enough irrelevant data through your algorithm alongside the images you’re stealing?
I got really into this sort of thing about ten years ago and set up my wireless router to serve up the initial iPXE image and then load various OS's over the internet. I got about ten or so OS's set up to boot this way then I lost interest and never used it again.

> Price no longer match the reality, if you haven't already, look elsewhere, much better alternatives exist, much cheaper

... but without the software support and documentation side, be it upstream kernel support, libraries for interfacing with stuff like acceleration or GPIOs or whatever.

The biggest advantage of the RPi ecosystem is the community. Unless you're dealing with absolutely cutting edge stuff involving PCIe, chances are very high that someone else has already seen the problems you are facing and documented solutions.
I'm really wondering if we're going to see a lack of people with CS degrees a few years from now because of Jensen Huang saying AI will do all that and we should stop learning how to program.
Because differentiation makes sense, and there are many people out there who hate AI.
Straight-up making all dev work private is very weird and perplexing. Why would their business model (which they had since some time, mind you) require not only a proprietary/"open core" license, which I would understand, but complete secrecy around source code itself? What business goal couldn't be accomplished with licensing restrictions alone? And is that difference in potential income generated by this new secret-requiring business model so big that it justifies throwing away the entire "open nature" of the company that has been a core value for most of its existence?

We have "real ai" already.

As for future progress, have you tried just simple interpolation of the progress so far? Human level intelligence is very near. (Though of course artificial intelligence will never exactly match human intelligence: it will be ahead/behind in certain aspects...)

- Emotional regulation. I suffer from a mostly manageable anxiety disorder but there are times I get overwhelmed. I have an agent setup to focus on principles of Stoicism and its amazing how quickly I can get back on track just by having a short chat with it about how I'm feeling.

- Personalised learning. I wanted to understand LLM's at foundational technical level. Often I'll understand 90% of an explanation but there's a small part that I don't "get". Being able to deliberately target that 10% and be able to slowly increase the complexity of the explanation (starting from explain like I'm 5) is something I can't do with other learning material.

- Investing. I'm a very casual investor. But I keep a running conversation with an agent about my portfolio. Obviously I'm not asking it to tell me what to invest in but just asking questions about what it thinks of my portfolio has taught me about risk balancing techniques I wouldn't have otherwise thought about.

- Personal profile management. Like most of us I have public facing touch points - social media, blog, github, CV etc. I find it helpful to have an agent that just helps me with my thought process around content I might want to create or just what my strategy is around posting. It's not at all about asking the thing to generate content - it's about using it to reflect at a meta level on what I'm thinking and doing - which stimulates my own thinking.

- Language learning - I have a language teaching agent to help me learn a language I'm trying to master. I can converse with it, adapt it to whatever learning style works best for me etc. The voice feature works well with this.

- And just in general - when I have some thinking task I want to do now - like I need to plan a project or set a strategy I'll use an LLM as a thought partner. The context window is large enough to accomodate a lot of history - and it just augments my own mind - gives me better memory, can point out holes in my thinking etc.

__

Edit: actually now that I have written out a response to your question I realise It's not so much offloading tasks in a wholesale way - its more augmenting my own thinking and learning - but this does reduce the burden on me to "think about" a range of things like where to get information or to come up with multiple examples of something or to think through different scenarios.

The thing is engineers must band together to independently replace the structures of corporations with employee-owned co-ops and join unions. Without sharing the profits and stable governance, arbitrary layoffs and ill treatment will continue unabated. They can do the same or similar work functions as before, but as a separate company that cares about long-term sustainability and stability.

Acting like USB HID and hosting USB HID devices are two different things, GP's suggestion might be possible with Android Open Accessory(aka abusing adb in Google sanctioned way) or through a rooted phone with a custom kernel mode gadget driver.

Some stuff is around the web, some is from other people. Particularly for classic kit, someone's usually analysed it before, but it's not always in a good tutorial kind of form. Personally, I did a lot of messing around with audio/programming from my early teens onwards, and built my intuition about how the maths and sound link up from years of tinkering without many reference resources.

A lot of this stuff can be made from relatively simple building-blocks though, and you don't have to copy a previous configuration. My thought process was pretty much exactly as written in the blog-post! I just wanted to make something which didn't require any special tuning skills.
