made a little terminal DAW to entertain myself while my agents cook. you can prompt to generate or edit tracks

it works with @claudeai + @ChatGPT subs, @vercel AI gateway and @OpenRouter

astra and fable are surprisingly good at making music if you ground them in solid foundations, gotta keep tweaking the recipe but we're gonna make some bangers together

[1] software factories are super real but we need to be realistic. the factory aspects haven’t been cracked yet, the [3] innovators are toying around with discovering practices and pieces.

if someone is selling you a factory rn and they aren’t in the super small cohort (ie. they are likely startups created in last six months!) or circa <10 people in the who’s-who, who have been trying (and realistically failing) over the last two years.

they are selling bullshit.

it isn’t cracked but it’s a puzzle that’s being solved daily. the best practices right now are to build abstractions/pieces needed which entails solving [2] non-agent topics.

[1] almost lights out.
[2] sandboxing, monorepo, reproducible builds, ci/cd, identity/secret management, smashing corporate friction in the realm of devex for agents.
[3] at home, in your homelab, you should be cracking on this problem space in your free time if you want a super fast promotion and red carpet service at your next interview. highest roi you can have right now is learning the entire damn stack, automating it and showing it at your next interview/doing a recorded talk at a meetup.

@GeoffreyHuntley same experiences on my end for the last few weeks, very frustrating

[hraness @hraness]

@Airdrop_Guard ahaha i call fake news on that one!

[hannah @erhannah]

one day you wrote console.log("here") for the last time and didn't even know it

[hraness @hraness]

in the very near future consumers will care about intelligence budget in the same way they care about internet speed today

[hraness @hraness]

damn this slaps, somehow i totally missed this AG Cook x Tim Cook collab

[Savvy @TechnovityTech]

The best intro ever made by Apple 🫪

Apple October (Unleashed) Event

[hraness @hraness]

@jrp_gg definitely

[hraness @hraness]

in the very near future talking to agents will be as dangerous and addictive as brainrotting

[hraness @hraness]

@thehonestape it's true

[hraness @hraness]

@yikesawjeez lol

[hraness @hraness]

i hate to say this but a lot of mainland chinese music is total trash

it's like christian rock

in a similar way i have no idea what they're talking about but i know the music is just objectively terrible

[hraness @hraness]

@ivebenfreed not bad i can speak pretty well just illiterate

[hraness @hraness]

replacing my emoji keyboard with pinyin

you met me at a very chinese time in my life (guilin)

This preprint shows our brains are constantly flickering (~16 Hz) between multiple representations of reality, and suggests there is a "selector" that determines which state we perceive.

Interestingly, LSD rather reliably creates a "strobe" effect at about the same frequency. (To be more precise, people report ~15-20 Hz). The bouncing ball illustrated below shows what that 16 Hz strobe effect looks like.

Is LSD perhaps persisting older representations of reality in each conscious epoch? Maybe it is doing something similar in the suppressed epochs since LSD obviously has more cognitive effects than a visual strobe.

Weirdly some drugs like 2C-B give a slower strobe effect (5.5 Hz) and DMT gives a faster strobe (22 Hz). Do they change the rate at which we flip between conscious and suppressed temporal epochs, along with enhancing the persistence of conscious states?

@wilsonyimby so that's what it's called

[hraness @hraness]

in the very near future your individual capacity to scale the ladder of abstraction and autonomy as fast as humanly possible will be the only way to escape the permanent underclass

[hraness @hraness]

@flowpraxis lmao

[hraness @hraness]

in the very near future frontier intelligence will only be accessible inside the labs, the government, and the richest organizations. nerfed braindead cousins of the machine god will be available to consumers, but still too expensive for anyone but the uberrich to use in a serious way

[hraness @hraness]

@ChrisIzatt amen

[hraness @hraness]

@badbirb still gonna be mad jealous tho

[hraness @hraness]

@elaifresh praying for this outcome
