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

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

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

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.
Re:Introduction to Computer Music [pdf] on Sunday April 05, 2026 @03:24PM (#47652935)
In my opinion, good music typically comes from the flow state. In other words, less thinking and more practice/exploration leads to the best results.

From personal experience, pattern-recognition is the most useful "applied math" skill when making music. I use it when identifying intervals between notes, and chord progressions, which you need when you're trying to get the idea out of your head and onto the instrument you're playing or song you're writing.

This is really great. I read the Git config article, but I thought the image diff example was kinda lackluster. Im sure some better metrics could be extracted for a more descriptive diff.

Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, I’ve seen great results with this approach.
