henjodottech··on I am Scott Hansen, I make music as Tycho and visual work as ISO50 (2013)
Scott let’s see what you do please
henjodottech··on Show HN: Emotive Engine – I wrote 8 elemental shaders to prove one pattern works
This is sick and inspirational great work
henjodottech··on Gaussian Splatting – A$AP Rocky "Helicopter" music video
I’m fascinated by the aesthetic of this technique. I remember early versions that were completely glitched out and presented 3d clouds of noise and fragments to traverse through. I’m curious if you have any thoughts about creatively ‘abusing’ this tech? Perhaps misaligning things somehow or using some wrong inputs.
henjodottech··on Experiments with Ableton-MCP
Excited to try batch renaming clips and batch warping in very large sets. Haven’t been able to figure out ways to automate these tedious tasks.
henjodottech··on Ask HN: Mac App Store worth it for a $0.99 app?
What is it?
henjodottech··on Bitwig Studio 6 details revealed, and editing gets a big boost
I do not think I could deal without my m4l devices and rack presets in ableton - if it weren’t for that I would probably be using bitwig.
henjodottech··on I Don't Have Spotify
This would be great
henjodottech··on Show HN: SynthGenie – Natural Language to Sound Design for Hardware Synths
Sounds cool! Going to give it a go on the sub37.
henjodottech··on The 90% Gravity Problem: Why We Tend to Quit Right Before the Finish Line
Jung comes to mind. Until you make the unconscious conscious you will call it fate and it will direct your life.
henjodottech··on Project 1511 – Why we should train separate AIs – one for thruth, one for art
Cool idea. I think LLMs aren’t built for intentional error. They’re wired to optimize meaning—next tokens chosen from attention scores, beam search. You can’t just flip logic and get creativity. You either get coherence or gibberish. If you want poetic mistakes, train on surreal input—but I wouldn’t expect avant-garde results.
henjodottech··on 40Hz light and sound improve cognition, neurogenesis, connectivity
I think 40 is just a round number in gamma frequency range in brain. Which is a good ‘working’ frequency of the brain.

The sound or light encourages the brain to align.

henjodottech··on The Art of Poison-Pilling Music Files
Fascinating cutting edge and impactful.
henjodottech··on Reality has a surprising amount of detail (2017)
Thought this would reference reality being encoded in 10^120 bits.
henjodottech··on The Impact of Jungle Music in 90s Video Game Development
I’m taking notes
henjodottech··on The Silurian Hypothesis
Not a mention of Octopolis or Octlantis. Settlements of gloomy octopuses in Jervis Bay, Australia.
henjodottech··on Metal thieves in America's cities
We’re working on a startup for non-addictive pain treatment. Derived from new genetics (not papaver somniferum).
henjodottech··on So you wanna de-bog yourself
Intention is cleansed in the process of forward motion.
henjodottech··on We do not prefer chords to be perfectly in mathematical ratios: study
In other news; Golden ratio? More like bronze
henjodottech··on Scientists Claim AI Breakthrough to Generate Boundless Clean Fusion Energy

henjodottech··on BirdLingo: A birdsong learning game
I’m not familiar, will check it out thanks.
henjodottech··on BirdLingo: A birdsong learning game
Wonderful. Can also recommend Anki decks, there’s good ones with calls and they’re localized. I only studied the European one. Also to supplement, nothing beats birdNET. Walk around a forest with the app on and match the bird names to the actual songs you’re hearing.
henjodottech··on A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs
Highly recommend this podcast
henjodottech··on Show HN: Run Music AI Code in Google CoLabs from Ableton
Very neat project. Looking forward to playing around with it.
henjodottech··on Show HN: A gamified social network for passionate fans
Looks like habitica
henjodottech··on Combine GPTs with private knowledge for actually useful AIs
Imagine all the kinds of documentation that could be automated with this
henjodottech··on Ask HN: How filter HN about programming?
It would be super useful if it could use an Or disjunctive search query to put multiple keywords
henjodottech··on Ask HN: How do you learn about Art History?
Anki decks!

Check out the Anki deck on this website: http://scheule.blogspot.com/p/anki-decks.html?m=1

It’s amazing.

henjodottech··on Scientists are working to bring the woolly mammoth back
> The woolly mammoth’s DNA is a 99.6 percent match of the Asian elephant

If humans and mice share 85% DNA, how useful are these metrics?

henjodottech··on How to Roman Republic 101
It seems the Thucydides book is a new translation - not in public domain?
henjodottech··on Voder Speech Synthesizer
Odd indeed not to mention the artist playing the sample. Also odd that OP article about the instrument does not mention the inventor.
