"global developmental delay" yeah this is tragic - this kid didn't need to go through this.

New York's OpenLegislation (NY Senate) is probably the best at the state level.

an Ableton extension that mines Youtube for samples based on keywords generating short seamless looped samples + MIDI. Transmute found sounds with Magenta RealTime 2 into new audio/midi sequences.

looking at running sneakers yesterday of a new brand I've never come across before - looked pretty interesting and bookmarked for later...within minutes of visiting the site I was seeing retargeting ads for the brand. Instant turn-off - no longer interested.

AI overview (organic for now?)

3 organic results (below the fold)

2 paid search results

1 organic result

If I don't run paid ads I don't get leads I rank organically for a lot of the keyphrases I'm bidding on (top 3 results)...organic 0-2 calls a week, paid ads 4-6 calls a week (niche business).

yes, the co is likely spending big money on retargeting to bring back a potential customer to sell what the bot clicked on to generate retargeting. it's fraud and costing the company money.

u: what do you think to this idea?

gpt: yeah you need to do it now

u: actually I think it's a bad idea

gpt: yes, you're right and here's why

u: no, actually it's genius.

gpt: you're absolutely right - it's genius and here's why

any tips for a team of one and claude code?

I built a lightweight grassroots advocacy tool for this.

It figures out who your reps are and sends them a pre-filled note based on what matters to you (you can edit/customize it before it sends). Includes a call script too if you're up for calling...

ljl good stuff

"A digital nomad who splits time between critiquing Facebook's UI decisions, unearthing obscure electronic music tracks with 3 plays on YouTube, and occasionally making fires on German islands. When not creating Dystopian Disco mixtapes or lamenting the lack of MIDI export in AI tools, they're probably archiving NYT articles before paywalls hit.

Roast

You've spent more time complaining about Facebook's UI than Facebook has spent designing it, yet you still check it enough to notice every change.

Your music discovery process is so complex it requires Discogs, Bandcamp, YouTube, and three specialized record stores, yet you're surprised when tracks only have 3 plays.

You're the only person who joined HN to discuss the Yamaha DX7 synthesizer from 1983 and somehow managed to submit two front-page stories about it in 2019-2020. The 80s called, they want their FM synthesis back."

edit: predictions are spot on - wow. Two of them detailed two projects I'm actively working on.

I love cosine.space - great discovery engine.

I'd love to be able to upload audio / have it analyzed in the DAW and then for ai to create riffs on it. SUNO is amazing at this - but it's useless without the midi output / DAW integration.

if you love computer science don't quit - I'd definitely triple down on real world projects/output rather than just studying though.

I intentionally left to work on projects I wanted to pursue, built a startup that isn't currently covering costs (1 customer on an annual plan), lived in Thailand for 6 months (with kids going to to school there), the burn rate on return has taken it's toll (California)...but yeah recently put feelers out for potential work and see it's going to be quite the mission to find work (personally).

Exact same situation - 2 years deep here but at a breaking point cannot continue this trajectory.

I just came across a comment of yours (1 yr ago) on setting up an LLC in California as I'm about to pull the trigger/looking for recommendations on who to choose for formation/setting up etc

You mentioned not to do it in SF! This thread is kinda of connected - do you mind elaborating on why not to setup your LLC in SF?

Will the Siri team be fired or are they in charge of openAI integration?

they're actually fine-tuning anon remillio accounts on X for exit liquidity on their vested social/ai/meme coins.

just wade through documentation to access it?

clicking on the AI studio link doesn't show me the app page - it redirects to a document on early access. I do as required - go back and try clicking on the AI studio link and I'm redirected to the document on turning early access.

frustrating.

Weird landing page - I’m expecting to see infographic examples but the images I see are of people looking at screens and smiling
