hey thanks so much for all the info, i will apply some of these concepts to 'notepat' - technically there is encoding ability like if you enter 'notepat twinkle' it takes you through a monophonic track and i have a little syntax for that - you can also 'tape notepat' to record a video - i really enjoy playing it on my tiny unihertz jelly star android phone which is part of the 4 buttons per row design

they are generated in a web AudioWorklet on a per sample basis https://github.com/whistlegraph/aesthetic-computer/blob/main...

you can use the up and down arrow keys in 'notepat' and press the '/' key to see the waveform output and increase or decrease the sample size to better visualize them

if you tap the '-' key on ur keyboard it shows an overlay in red and green with the steps down and up which i've been using as a transposition aid

u can enter 'notepat twinkle' after tapping notepat in the corner to actually run through that melody

Re:Ask HN: What have you built with LLMs? on Monday February 05, 2024 @08:29PM (#39269647)
i built autosuggestions / catch all prompt responses on https://aesthetic.computer and you can also talk to characters like boyfriend, girlfriend, husband and wife. characters are great for kids and older users who really wouldn't experience the tech otherwise.
good, i prefer the old internet
this is what i'm designing aesthetic.computer for!
