I'm also interested in how they figured out how to get the CMA-ES baseline to be this fast (less than 35 samples in Figure 5).

Maybe they are warm-starting CMA-ES with a pre-trained controller (although at a glance it doesn't seem they do). Haven't read the paper yet though.

> neovim + claude + tmux is the goated combo

It absolutely is. I don't really understand why people still confine themselves to a full IDE when doing "agentic programming".

Especially with neovim with something like fzf or ctrl-p, which lets just quickly navigate codebases. This is about as far as you need to go. So to me, being terminal-first and being able to do multiple things at once makes more sense (hence tmux).

Isn't all the "knowledge" just text files? I've transitioned between services easily by simply copying the text files.

Progress towards what? Do you think "progress" as conceived by sillicon valley billionaires aligns with the type of life you would like?

There's a non-trivial chance "working hard" as defined by the modern ethos is doing more damage than good.

Why would self-hosting for privacy reasons be unethical just because the query would be subject to subpoena in principle?

I've used Kdenlive for years. I'm someone who only needs video editing every once in a while, but even then I definitely recommend learning it.

What's the playlist? Curious as a bossa enjoyer.

This has great UX, congrats!

There's quite a few jazz things that are missing. E.g., altered and bebop scales, 7#9 and 7b9 chords. Plus, for any given chord, there are a lot of voicings (drop 2, rootless, etc.).

This suite could be a really cool resource for new/intermediate jazz guitarists if you add some of the jazz stuff in. Any decent jazz guitar book could give you the most used scales and chord voicings.

Since the UX is already quite good, maybe if you open source it and if these things are easy to add, you could rely on the community to do so to some extent.

> what's wrong with a usb-c to 3.5mm adapter

In my experience the connection is much easier to accidentally break through movement (e.g., walking) with a USB-C adapter than straight-through 3.5mm.

I really miss having a 3.5mm output on my phone...

You don't need every programmer to leverage the architecture for the market to accept it, just a few that hyper-optimize an implementation to a highly valuable problem (e.g., ads or something like that).

I was running i3 on Arch before. Then, I moved to Gnome Shell and have been daily driving COSMIC for a couple months. I think you will like it. At least on Alpha there were a couple rough edges here and there, but no deal breakers for me.

> the jump would be similar to the one from hand-written punchcards/assembly to higher level compilers

I wouldn't. Compilers are not stochastic text models and they can be verified and reasoned about to a great extent.

AntennaPod is so great. I have hundreds of hours.

It's even available on F-Droid.

Some of mine include Bach's violin partita 3, Beethoven's 9, and Mahler 1.

What's the name of the tool where you can specify the structure of the song?
