do you have any other interest in dsp/audio programming? or is this your introduction into it?

My dad always wanted me to create a VST but I'm not close enough to production to find it interesting, especially when there are already so many out there that are so versatile. This isn't my introduction, I've done a lot of exploratory work with hardware accelerated FFTs in the past for BPM algorithms and visualizers. I've also worked extensively with codecs and file formats. I wasn't happy with the performance of taglib and wrote my own to parse my ~600GB music library.

Love this. The part about non-framework js slaps too. Bravo/a.

How do you know this isn’t a marvel character’s HN post?

Thank you, Jim. For writing an article that is digestible in one sitting! Great read.

But it aint got no guardrails, son.

Model steering?

I second this, I’m more excited about dumb local models than something I could never run locally.

Huzzah, they’ve lost their stranglehold. Viva la revolution!

FYI, you've already lost with this mindset! I know you don't consider yourself a loser :P

Is anyone keeping a history of this AI "summer"? I'm sure the timeline would be very amusing.

I keep hoping for a "GenAI is going great", but I'm also too lazy to start one myself.
