Yeah but at least that was funny!

rmnclmnt commented on Show HN: I used AI to recreate a $4000 piece of audio hardware as a plugin · Posted by u/_o1yi
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.
I wonder if we could then have released the *stressor in a few months then...
My highlights were the Edward Ashton books « Mickey7 » and « Antimatter Blues » (sequel to the first).
Haven’t seen the movie adaptation yet but the books are such delightful dark humor SF, loved them

That's where this is headed, though. That's the end game.
This should be interesting then: we’ll finally be able to assert whether time is deterministic and the future and past can be modelled/predicted (if you’ve seen the show you know what I mean)

For a minute I was like (spoiler alert) « wow the creepy sci-fi theories from the DEVS tv show is taking place »… then I looked up the video and that’s just video generation at this point

Whenever I have to work with such systems, is usually when I do have to write an interface and have a mock implementation. Iteration is much faster when I don’t have to worry about getting the correct state from something I don’t have control over.
Yeah that’s what I do also when I have to (and it can be done, not everytime).
But it requires some advanced local testing setup and knowledge to do so, hence my initial remark on this type of developers not being real professionals in the first place…

That’s the thing. People exposing such rude behavior usually are not, or haven’t been in a looong time…
As for the local testing part not being performed, this is a slippery slope I’m fighting everyday: more and more cloud based services and platforms are used to deploy software to run with specific shenanigans and running it locally requires some kind of deep craft and understanding. Vendor lock-in is coming back in style (e.g. Databricks)
Not growl as in death metal vocals.
