Once again Mozilla invents stuff noone wants. Its just incredible how an "org" with so much income fails again and again
I usually dont comment, but just had to. Opus 5 talls garbage, Im back om 4.8 which is better but still verbose. I use the caveman skill, but after a while it is just ignored.. I switched to Deepseek for a task lately. It was a wow experience (the language part)
You tell jokes to your model? :D

Bullshit. I'm on pro and can't use Fable anymore. Fable's gonna stay on top maybe a month or two more, and they want to loose customers like this? I really don't understand their strategy. I cancelled my pro, gonna try something else

Ask HN: Is there a metric for AI code quality?

I've tried many different models and without doubt the code coming out of them differs a lot when it comes to "quality". Some of that is subjective for sure, but there are objective sides to "good" code.I wish this was a metric for the AI benchmarks so I could choose a model based on this, because honestly it's one of the things I care most about.Problem: How can you measure such things, whats...

Hi, author here. I was wondering why the hell my server was acting strange, then checked counter.dev and saw a huuuge spike. Ah, hackernews..

Anyway, thanks for the feedback regarding the site itself, both positive and negative. This is a 1-2 man project, just for fun, but any feedback are always welcome :)

I dont think your comment justifies calling out any form of simplistic view. It doesnt make sense. All the big players are bad. They"re companies, their one and only purpose is to make money and they will do whatever it takes to do it. Most of which does not serve human kind.

You can pretty much study the Dockerfile of each docker image and you'll see how it's installed. It's all there, no magic
Great! ...but doesn't work on my google-free Android. Ie, it requires play services. Please fix this :)

Hey man, thanks for elaborating, I do understand the limits you are presenting much better now. Aaand, this actually makes me want one of those cards myself! I could just have one of those PCI cards and 3-4 of the Behringer ADA8200 and I could run ALL of my synths into my PC.

> Because I don’t know of any USB device that can do 96 channels of pro IO

Holy crap, that's a lot of input channels, didn't know it was possible. I also have a Behringer ADA8200 that connect to the 1820 (ADAT) which gives me 16 inputs. I'll admit it's not enough to run all of my gear in at once and this is just a home studio. I can imagine 96 channels is very useful. Maybe 6x my setup would work = 96 inputs ;)

> How are you clocking the cards?

You are obviously more advanced than me, not sure what you mean here. I'm using the NI card basically just for the output and the Behringer for inputs, 24/48. When recording, if there is a latency (which normally Bitwig can "fix") it's just a matter of moving the audio a couple of ms.

> PCI

I've had earlier problems with PCI cards, in that they pick up a lot of internal noise from the motherboard, so I've stayed away from that after firewire/usb cards became available

Re:Show HN: LinuxDAW – Quality audio software for Linux on Saturday December 30, 2023 @03:41PM (#38818888)
Why do you want/need a PCI based card? Most audio interfaces run off USB these days and Linux supports almost all USB audio class-compliant cards.. Personally I use NI Komplete Audio 1 and Behringer UMC 1820 (yes, on Linux with pipewire and Bitwig you can use multiple cards!)

The good'ol "organize your stuff" problem. The problem with "categories" is that a) usually a "thing" can only belong to 1 category and b) a category often belong in a hiarchy of categories and can only be 1 place. So that is why I've used _tags_ instead, which is more of a many to many "flat" releation. Not sure I understood your comment correctly? ..I've certainly given this quite some thought already, but nothing is perfect

hehe! ..I come from Ableton on Win7. But, Bitwig (formed by ex-Ableton devs) saved the world for me as it is a) similar but better than Ableton (ofc subjective) and b) it runs on Linux! Check it out, take it for a spin!

Check out Bitwig (https://www.bitwig.com/), it's awesome (started by previous Ableton devs)
