OOP is "better" than functional? Meh. Tools are tools. Most programming patterns these days are dictated by the plethora of libraries you're forced to rely upon. If you're designing software from the ground up, statically typed & functional code produces more modular and robust software.

I've seen this before with math related questions that required iteration to reach a result. I asked google to sum up a bunch of timecode durations from an Avid Log Exchange document, and it wrote python code to parse the ALE, sum the durations, and produce the result. And it was correct.

Nice. I put many of these together back in the day. Getting Nubus cards in and out of that thing was a frikkin nightmare, as best I can recall. Or maybe it was the 650/800. I can't remember. Blocked it all out... 🥵

My Roku thingy constantly reminds me that I can press the button on the remote and talk to it. Surprisingly, most of the time it actually works when I remember to do it. "Open Youtube". Enter search field. "How to build a fission device in my garage". Etc....

Keep your eyes closed Frank. Just keep ignoring him. Eventually he'll stop. I know we all have limits Frank, but this is the only way. Please just trust me. Keep your eyes closed and don't move.

I understand the sentiment. Still, I ponder the distinction. At the root of it all is just algorithms that we subjectively call "music". Math (Pythagoras) > Musicians > Music > Training Data > Math (Turing) > Music > Musicians > Music. Something like that? I can't express all my thoughts here.

It's interesting to consider where the distinction actually lies. After all, "AI" is just an additional abstraction layer applied on top of what otherwise boils down to a set of algorithmic rules in what is already a purely mathematical environment (music). Microtonal. Atonal. Subjective. Objective.

AOL "CD"? That's so Mid-90's. 😝 I have a pristine condition EARLY 90's Vintage AOL floppy I may be willing to trade, but only to qualified aficionados who can truly appreciate the value. 😁

Ok I found your in-depth demo. Very cool. 🔥😊 I wrote up a longer comment there. Think I'm gonna have to upgrade my NI and give this thing a try. Feature request: export the MIDI notes and/or controller data (LFO's or whatever else it's doing internally) so I can patch cohesive ideas into hardware!

I feel like all descriptions of mushrooms should be headlined with the following information: 1. WILL KILL YOU DO NOT TOUCH (True/False) 2. EDIBLE [yes/no] 3. HALLUCINOGENIC [yes/no/only if you eat enough to kill you]

That's pretty funny. But I'd liken python to bags of Trader Joe's and Node.js to Doordash. And then there's Swift...which is like the FDA (it labels everything it doesn't approve of as "unsafe") 😁
