Looks interesting and would love to try it out on my side project, but it'd be great if you could add your own package (https://github.com/davialabs/davia/tree/main/packages/agent) as a showcase.

There is no downside to having someone drive you Uber has homogenised the experience.

krat0sprakhar commented on What the Windsurf sale means for the AI coding ecosystem ethanding.substack.com/p/... · Posted by u/whoami_nr
openai's $3b acquisition of windsurf falls apart. after months of negotiations, they walk away.
google announces they're paying $2.4b to hire windsurf's ceo and 41 researchers for deepmind. not to acquire windsurf. just the humans. the same day openai walks. what a coincidence!
My question is what happened to the $2.4B? Apparently very little of it made its way to the Windsurf employees, as #2 tweeted last week. It wasn't an acquisition although Cognition was. Cognition bought a company for $250M that just got a check for $2.4B. How exactly did this work?
> Google also licensed the Windsurf IP.
Exactly! That definitely means that the $82M ARR business and the tech behind it is definitely valuable to Google
The marketing copy and the current livestream appear tautological: "it's better because it's better."
Not much explanation yet why GPT-5 warrants a major version bump. As usual, the model (and potentially OpenAI as a whole) will depend on output vibe checks.

Exactly. Too many videos - too little real data / benchmarks on the page. Will wait for vibe check from simonw and others
OT: Has anyone tried the opposite - ask AI to listen to music and determine the notes or chords being played? Or watch someone playing an instrument and give a textual output of what notes/chords they are playing.
I use https://moises.ai/ multiple times a week for practicing / figuring out chords being played. For the notes (say in a guitar riff), I dont know if such a thing exists
I'm dreading the day I discover a new "band" I'm totally into only to discover it's entirely AI.
Hope your favorite new band is not "The Velvet Sundown"
I really hope we move on from these boil-the-ocean models. I want something more collaborative and even iterative.
I was having a conversation with a former bandmate. He was talking about a bunch of songs he is working on. He can play guitar, a bit of bass and can sing. That leaves drums. He wants a model where he can upload a demo and it either returns a stem for a drum track or just combines his demo with some drums.
Right now these models are more like slot machines than tools. If you have the money and the time/patience, perhaps you can do something with it. But I am looking forward to when we start getting collaborative, interactive and iterative models.
Very well said. I'm in the same boat. I'd love AI to write down a drum groove or a drum fill based on my guitar riff.
Currently, all these AI tools generate the whole song which I'm not at all interested in given songwriting is so much fun
I was at a music show very late ~1-2am in SF and walked out to grab an uber to the airbnb I was staying at. I kept getting assigned an uber, then I’d wait 10 minutes, then they’d cancel. Rinse and repeat for 30 minutes, mind you I even resorted to calling Lyfts at the same time and nothing bit. Then I say screw it and download Waymo. 1 minute and it’s accepted my ride, and I know it’s not going to cancel because it’s a robot. 3 minutes and it picks me up. The car is clean, quiet, I can play my own music in it via Spotify, and it’s driving honestly more safely than some uber drivers I’ve had in SF. It’s one of the few things where the end result actually lives up to the promise from a tech company.
This is such a common problem in SF (esp in odd times / from the airport). Waymo has been a lifesaver in these situations.
