I was lucky to be given a lecture on FM synthesis by John Chowning himself during his visit of my home town about 20 years ago. As a kid that grew up playing a Yamaha DX11, that was a great moment.

> To improve determinism, define a system instruction with explicit rules for your specific use case.
"Please be deterministic".

The Peek mode is insanely good, it reminds me of those exploded views of buildings and "how things work" children books.
The model seems to be having a hard time with the marble floor in the quire (low resolution), is this because of its reflection?

The live translation demo reminds me of the Babel Fish in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. This could be very valuable to have in your headphones while travelling.
Not super impressed by the model constantly interrupting the user in the other demos though.

Might want to set `overscroll-behavior: contain;` on those scroll areas, having the whole page move up and down (or worse, navigating Back when scrolling left) isn't great UX.

"You forgot to say please"

I once made the mistake to reply one of those threads with a public email address, it's now an incubator for AI-generated spam. And not just slop text: now we're getting full vibe-coded HTML UI..

The whole point of shadcn/ui is that it’s customisable (that’s why the components are copied into your app as opposed to installed from a central npm package).
This is made easier with the /create UI: https://ui.shadcn.com/create
People use it like a design system, but it’s more like a design system for design systems.

Do you not risk having a client app that falls out of sync with the server’s API endpoints?
Loved the headings btw.

I’d love to see someone try.
Though using AI to build the devtools we used for signal analysis would have been helpful.

I used to do that exact job 10 years ago (without AI, obviously). I figure that career would be very different now.
There was something exciting about sleuthing out how those old machines worked: we used a black box approach, sending in test samples, recording the output, and comparing against the digital algorithm’s output. Trial and error, slowly building a sense of what sort of filter or harmonics could bend a waveform one way or another.
I feel like some of this is going to be lost to prompting, the same way hand-tool woodworking has been lost to power tools.

Especially when the "content" is a blatant AI summary:
> Duffer’s advice highlights a conflict between technological advances and creators' goals. Features like the ones he mentioned are designed to appeal to casual viewers by making images appear sharper or more colorful, but they alter the original look of the content. By asking fans to turn these features off, he is stressing the importance of preserving the director’s vision.

Disappointing they didn't have their research facility in Cheyenne Mountain.
