I worked at Ableton for a bit. They were telling me about users that play 12 hour sets and absolutely must not crash or make any mistake. And it needs to never lose a feature or drop support for just about anything. They learn from every crash and make it a priority. When it does crash, you can restart and it can recover even your unsaved changes.

It's because they grew up playing with Fischer Technik.

There is a this live collaboration project: https://api-production-006c.up.railway.app/

> mainly it uses the underlying control surface layer to receive events with a python bridge then communicates those out to a central server, from there there's a websocket room you have to be invited to and you get all the updates.

> For changes or additions of samples/tracks it sends it to an incoming temp directory and edit's the ALS to read from it instantly

> The git portion is heavily inspired by git lfs, and stores your data in r2's but only diff's between the last version and current version.

It's a hosted product, but self hosting is possible even now. I think the code is up on github.

So we should build agents that read the ads, cut the crap, assess alternatives and recommend. If our brains are so easily hackable, then we should clean and filter our inputs.

Reminds me of when Les UX illegally restored the clock in the Pantheon in Paris. They hid up there for a year.

They were acquitted.

It's a historical record.

https://www.githubstatus.com/ is today

I was also able to merge a pr and do a release using cli.

I'm going to leave them alone for the rest of the day.

I was getting frothy and feeling stress due to juggling sessions. I switched to managing my backlog (Obsidian base), writing specs, launching agents in the background. I review and make changes,merge and release. It's a fixed cycle and I optimize to maintain relaxed engagement. Rate of features and fixes went up a lot.

I find that I have more time to be a dreamer and let more interesting solutions unfold in my mind. After that the planning and execution is much faster.

Every time after I take a shower I write down all those brilliant Shower Thoughts.

Every time you run this it creates a new sandbox. No instructions about how to restart an existing one, nor now to stop it.

The included script is hardcoded to gavriel's machine

# start-nanoclaw.sh — Start NanoClaw without systemd

cd "/Users/gavriel/nanoclaw-sandbox-workspace"

Why are we upvoting this? If this was an open source normal project post it would get downvoted for poor quality.

This doesn't even work.

`curl -fsSL https://nanoclaw.dev/install-docker-sandboxes.sh | bash`

Creating sandbox... unknown flag: --name

https://nanoclaw.dev/install-docker-sandboxes.sh

It looks like it requires a min version of docker, but it didn't check that version. The link to https://docs.docker.com/sandbox/ in the .sh is wrong.

The post should also have a link to the source of the .sh and where it's github issues are at.

Yeah, the Claws are starring the repo, obviously.

Yep, the 70s Crips and Ice-T somehow made it into everyday speech.

I watched some youtube video where they got complete beginners to animate a character jumping across a canyon gap. No skills, no muscle memory, constant struggling. The character looks like a rag doll. Then the professional does it and she's playing with the arc of the jump, adding emotion to the jump, adding little details like turning the head back for a reaction shot. She's playing with it, and explaining her thoughts and having fun. That really shows how much artistic skill there is involved. It's not just "automation". It's like brush strokes, but applied to splines and velocity curves and shaders.

People don't understand that about music either. We may use sequencers and automation, but the work happens in real time, and it is an instrument that we are playing. It's just that we work at a higher level than just playing something on a keyboard.

Electronic music is also very closely related to computer animation. Animated film technology is much more advanced, but a lot of techniques are similar.

The window losing focus but OP reports is due to this:

Which would only happen if you are using it wireless.

It happened to me this morning.

Do you have a logitech mouse? If so you need to reinstall the logi and/or G Hub apps. The cert changed and that's what's causing it to fail and keep grabbing focus away. Incredibly strange bug.

> Solar panel imports will reduce fuel imports. The savings from avoiding diesel can repay the cost of a solar panel within six months in Nigeria, and even less in other countries. > The solar panels imported into Sierra Leone in the last 12 months, would generate electricity equivalent to 61% of the total reported 2023 electricity generation.

A lot of people simply dont have electricity. They don't have grids. Night comes, it's dark. People are buying solar panels to get electricity directly. Now they can recharge lights during the day.

> China and India continue to build huge amounts of coal power.

One factor here is finance: companies make more money building coal plants. Banks loan the money so they can make money. Solar isn't as lucrative. It's the cheapest source of energy.

Developing world generally has a lot more sunlight, and now very cheap solar energy.

G+ died because it was clown colored google product, not a communal space for people. It was technology without any aesthetic that made you want to be there.

Myspace was hilarious because it was such a mess. The people owned it, hacked the css. Every profile page was a messy real person.

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

They don't have ads, it's paid members only. You can see other people's images, including the prompts, so it's an interesting way to learn what works, and to mutate prompts and images. There are many ways of recombining or breeding images.

They have an onboarding flow where you rate images and it tunes into your aesthetic preferences. You can create mood boards for specific projects.

So I would say it's more community than social media.

That's a direct copy of what Midjourney has done already.

https://www.midjourney.com/explore?tab=videos

Many people are just playing with images and the distinctive styles that Midjourney (the model) seems to have developed. It's also trained by ratings and people's interactions.

When you make images you can dial down the "aesthetic".

I saw her work at MoMA, loved it. She's 70? That's even more awesome.

Good people follow laws, bad people don't.

That's the core problem. The game is rigged

And to answer the obvious next question: yes, there is an MCP for IFTTT https://mcp.pipedream.com/app/ifttt

Usually the tricks and problems in a codebase are not in the codebase at all, they are in somebody's head.

It would be helpful if I had a long rambling dialogue with a chat model and it distilled that.

- Minecraft - Roblox - LittleBigPlanet - Mario Maker

This is what kids do to be creative.

Slightly more serious (and therefore less succesful): - Logo/Turtle Graphics - Scratch - HyperStudio

HyperCard was both graphic design and hypertext (links). These two modalities got separated, and I think there are practical reasons for that. Because html/css design actually sucks and never became an amateur art form.

For writing and publishing we got Wiki, Obsidian et al, Blogs (RIP), forums, social media. Not meant to be interactive or programmable, but these fulfill people's needs for publishing.

Yes! I used FileMaker a lot, and built my first journaling system with it. Like a cross between hypercard and a wiki. It really changed my life and this lead to programming.
