Ask HN: What would it take for AI to generate pop song mashups?
I've noticed the recent rise in AI-generated music stemming from a text prompt. The rise in the quality of generated music has been startling to say the least.Another genre/category of music is the pop mashup [1]. It's a song that's created from snippets of existing songs blended into a single, cohesive track. Sort of a like a super-condensed 3-minute DJ mix that comprised of up to dozens of...

Ask HN: Is the $199 Rabbit R1 a loss leader for data collection
I've been following the recent launch of the Rabbit R1. Given its surprisingly low price point relative to Humane's Ai Pin and the Meta Smart Glasses, I'm curious about the business strategy behind it.Do you think Rabbit R1 is priced as a loss leader? More specifically, is it possible that the low price is a strategy to attract a large user base and then monetize through the sale of user...

- Shift left testing: quality can be implemented at all stages of the development process, from requirements gathering to deployment. Issues are easier and cheaper to fix the earlier they are discovered, and it does not necessarily take a software tester to discover these, although testers can advocate for a mindset of quality - Quality as a shared mindset/goal, not just one team's job: every team member seeks to quality control their bit of work, this inevitably involves developers doing a basic level of sanity testing on their code. When done right this should reduce the long feedback loop to discovering issues when a team completes a piece of work, hands it over to QA, then context switches over to another piece of work.
