Moves from react native to native because of AI but acquires Tailwind. Makes sense.

The most interesting part to me here was the whole helix thing + how they split business logic and UI just so AI agents could drive/test state via a CLI. I hope they do a deeper blog post on just that. I’m surprised they are making “decouple state from UI” sound like something groundbreaking when that’s kind of been the foundation for any sane/testable app for a LONG time.

I'm working on a WhatsApp AI bot for my group chats, specifically for my friends' soccer group chat where we organize our Wednesday matches. We have a bunch of "problems" that I think are ripe for bot automation. WhatsApp is what all of us hispanic people use and it's particularly interesting because Meta doesn't really provide you with much tooling to build bots, unlike Telegram. I started this weekend and went all in on cursor. I also streamed the whole process, so yeah, apparently I'm also a streamer now. Check them out at https://www.youtube.com/@alexon_v1/streams.
Show HN: Diva Copilot – generate synth presets with plain English
Hey guys! I just finished building the first version of a tool I think a lot of Diva fans will enjoy a lot. It's called Diva Copilot. It's basically ChatGPT but for generating .h2p file presets for Diva. You type the description of the sound you want and Diva Copilot generates the preset file for you. You can download the file from the dashboard from anywhere you want. The preset quality is...

Ableton is awesome for putting this type of stuff out. The learning music section is also great. And, it's a perfect post for a shameless plug: I built a u-he Diva (my favorite VST synth) tool for generating presets with AI. It's called Diva Copilot and it can be accessed at https://divacopilot.com - I started out by offering a free trial with 10 free presets and then a monthly $20 plan with 50 presets. You can also buy on-demand credits. It works on top of a custom built RAG system that then uses GPT-4o for actually generating .h2p files. I'm mainly working on improving the knowledge base so that results get better and better. Still, you can already get some super good results. I put some examples in the landing page. Would love to get some feedback!

I’m a customer and it’s awesome. I think we’ve even exchanged emails about some questions I’ve had. When I paid for the premium version I thought it was super good for what I was getting. You must be getting a ton of traffic for it to still be paying rent after 8 years! Congrats!
Re:Ask HN: How to learn piano in 2024?
on Friday January 05, 2024 @12:12PM (#38881544)
I started learning on my own about two years ago and I only used simplypiano and youtube. I’m able to play with both hands now and can learn songs pretty quickly by watching youtube videos. I can also read some music thanks to simplypiano. I noticed quicker progress when I sat down to learn songs I really liked (in comparison to just learning what everybody else tells you to learn).

Thanks! Hadn’t heard about the book. Do you feel it’s worth diving into the GDQuest courses even though they are v3? Given the price, I feel like I should wait until they release the v4 versions.

I actually did find you guys last week. I didn’t buy anything because I’m waiting for the Godot 4 3D shooter game, since that’s exactly what I want to make. Having focus on code organization + best practices would also be awesome.
Ask HN: What are the best Godot 4 production-grade learning resources?
I've been getting into game dev lately and chose to start with Godot 4, given all the recent events. I've spent quite a lot of time looking for quality learning resources, and most of them are on YouTube. The problem with that is that you don't really get a well structured path, and most of the times you don't really find stuff that's meant to be production ready.
Re:Native JSON Output from GPT-4
on Wednesday June 14, 2023 @05:17PM (#36332801)
Newbie in machine learning here. It’s crazy that this is the top post just today. I’ve been doing the intro to deep learning course from MIT this week, mainly because I have a ton of JSON files that are already classified, and want to train a model that can generate new JSON data by taking classification tags as input.
So naturally this post is exciting. My main unknown right now is figuring out which model to train my data on. An RNN, a GAN, a diffusion model?

Re:Ask HN: Tips for Transitioning into the Music Industry?

Yeah, that’s for sure something I’ve looked at (like developing VST plugins for ableton for example). But that market seems pretty saturated too.
I’ve been looking for insights from people in the industry about problems they have now (that software could solve), but it’s been pretty hard.
I’m also learning piano + guitar + ableton, so maybe as I go I’ll have problems that I could solve for myself and others.

The app also works great on iPad btw. I think ableton missed advertising for it since there’s now iOS and iPadOS.
Ask HN: Is there a Supabase-like service built with an AWS stack?
Is there basically a Supabase-like service built with AWS tech? i.e. DynamoDB instead of PostgreSQL, SQS, Kinesis, Lambdas, etc, all abstracted a way in constructs similar to Supabase.

Looking to tap into the industry via software development and looking for ideas.
Ask HN: If you start a company today, what tech stack would you use?
Just curious to see the different answers. I find myself constantly thinking about what the best way to quickly build a good + scalable product from the get-go is. With things like Supabase, Firebase, AWS, Vercel, Netlify, Hasura, etc, I find it hard to make up my mind.I'm currently defaulting to React + Next.js + Vercel for the FE, and Node.js + GraphQL + Dynamo + Lambda for the BE (All...
Re:Ask HN: Is it worth it to invest in learning TypeScript?
on Sunday November 07, 2021 @10:54AM (#29140468)
100% yes. As someone who did JavaScript only for a while, once you make the switch, you’ll never want to go back.
The things you’ll get: 1. It’s going to force you to think more about how you structure your program. You’ll probably end up with a cleaner design. 2. It’s going to make you code faster because of the awesome autocomplete functionality you get out of the box (at least with VSCode). 3. It’s going to give you much more confidence that your code won’t break at runtime. There’s still a chance it will (write unit tests), but it’ll be much less frequent. 4. Types are a kind of documentation, so your future self will thank you.

I'd say most of them are running private companies that are both improving human life and generating profit. I think the part I agree with the most from the article is the one that talks about having people in government who have the skill to know what experts to lay off issues to. I think if we had leaders that did we'd be much better off.
