[ai music] here is the output of something I spent a lot of last week on, and finally got an end-to-end pipeline working smoothly: agentic music production via MCP and local models soundcloud.com/amytobey/cla...
Claude Code Victory Fanfare 1
# 🎺 Victory Fanfare - AI-Generated Celebratory Music
I had Claude generate this when we got all our features working so that it could generate music end-to-end using our new MCP. The text below here

you don't have to empathize with a bot that dies millions of times a day, but a little mechanical sympathy goes a long ways to being more effective at using them

is fp16 in machine learning sorta like 16 bit color where more precision is economically unviable? or is it more like memory address space and eventually fp32 and fp64 will happen?

if you give an engineer a problem to solve but not enough time to understand the details, the solution will be over complicated. That’s just how it works, it can’t work any other way. Simplicity is hard and takes time, an unknown amount of time

first glance: gemini 3 seems to be about as good as sonnet 4.5 at coding for me. needs different prompting. a little too eager to start coding. gonna do some midi stuff in rust and lua today and will mess with ways to require it to always plan before editing. maybe some otel-cli work to try go

I have some ideas for a future xdotool that supports Wayland compositors, but Wayland created so much fragmentation… I don’t know it'll be worth the time :/
It amuses me that sending JavaScript over DBus seems to be the way to do things on GNOME and KDE though… www.semicomplete.com/blog/xdotool...

Ruby 1.9.3 was so good I kinda stopped looking at new Ruby releases. I still use new versions, but I haven’t found any features which amaze me - what have I missed that excites you about from Ruby releases in the last decade?
