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/

https://www.reddit.com/r/ableton/comments/1xrbj82/been_an_ab...

> 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.

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.
