kupopuffs commented on Daft Punk Easter Egg in the BPM Tempo of Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger?   madebywindmill.com/tempi/... · Posted by u/simonw
HelloUsername · a month ago
I imported the .wav track from the CD, manually put the BPM on 123.45, cut the first 21 seconds intro out (easier to sync on the main beat), and from there started dragging the track and adjusting the BPM, so that the first bar of the song and the last bar of the song were still on beat. My findings is that it's somewhere between .47 and .48

that part you bit off could account for the difference?

Isn’t that a bit like saying: storage is commodity and thus profit margins will be/should be low.

All major cloud providers have high profit margins in the range of 30-40%.

this is slightly more nuanced, since the AI portion is not making money. it's their side hustle

I like to think that at least one worker was loafing on a project that was due the next day and there was no way it was going to get done. Their job was riding on it. They got drunk to embrace the doom that faces them, only to wake up with this news. Free to loaf another day!

I would have killed for this back in 2022.

I take all of my notes on ChatGPT now, and for more structured data I have built specialized tools/agents, and even small front ends like for my portfolio management track.

It’s crazy how different my world used to be back then; note apps feel so primitive now.

I'm sorry, are you saying that you sent all your notes to ChatGPT as prompts? How do you recall or get your notes back?

It's not really the best way to learn because it's the most expensive and time-consuming. What needs to be learned just needs to be well-documented and possible to tinker with, and clarity of communicating knowledge is a problem on its own, but you shouldn't have to build the whole thing from scratch.

depends on what you're optimizing for

"Rust is wonderful but humbling!"

It's an abstraction and convenience to avoid fiddling with registers and memory and that at the lowest level.

Everyone might enjoy their computation platform of their choice in their own way. No need to require one way nor another. You might feel all fired up about a particular high level language that you think abstracts and deploys in a way you think is right. Not everyone does.

You don't need a programming language to discover yourself. If you become fixated on a particular language or paradigm then there is a good chance you have lost sight of how to deal with what needs dealing with.

You are simply stroking your tools, instead of using them properly.

Again?

Wasn't the whole thing about Organic Maps to be a community-led fork of maps.me?

So now we're at a fork of a fork?

> AIs aren't intended to be used as calculators though?

Then why are we using them to write code, which should produce reliable outputs for a given input...much like a calculator.

Obviously we want the code to produce correct results for whatever input we give, and as it stands now, I can't trust LLM output without reviewing first. Still a helpful tool, but ultimately my desire would be to have them be as accurate as a calculator so they can be trusted enough to not need the review step.

Using an LLM and being OK with untrustworthy results, it'd be like clicking the terminal icon on my dock and sometimes it opens terminal, sometimes it might open a browser, or just silently fail because there's no reproducible output for any given input to an LLM. To me that's a problem, output should be reproducible, especially if it's writing code.

I dunno man, I think writing an app is 10000x harder than adding 5 + 5
