Expect to see more of this as people's writing skills atrophy. I have done this sometimes when the words aren't coming to me. But, yeah, it'd probably best not not bother with the comment if I can't come up with a coherent articulate comment myself.

One reason is older homes need repairs. Furnaces, roofs, windows, etc. What to do when faced with $20k in repairs? Borrow it.

This post and the comments so far reminded me of 1984's two minutes of hate. When is Hate Week?

I think point 2 will change once this becomes common. Once there is demand Home Depot etc are the perfect place to sell individual medium sized panels.

Hopefully it won't take 10 years for this to become easy.

Yeah, I too long listened to radio after being a DJ in college. WXRT in Chicago was my go to. It's still running and I just listened to maybe 30 minutes: so many ads! I do enjoy the DJ banter and local references but with all the ads it ain't worth it.

Have you considered supporting other MIDI instruments like e-drums and pad controllers?

How well do these models do producing a proof-of-life video? Asking for a friend.

Define a MVP (minimum viable product) which is the minimum functionality that produces something useful and/or interesting. Implement that. I use Strava et al. myself. I'd say the MVP would include recording and storing and exporting the tracks. Then add your real-time team tracking feature.

I've looked at New a few times and have been disappointed with the quality of submissions.

We can do this today too (but definitely hopefully future LLMs make better architectural decisions). With Claude, I've been working on an application for the last 2 months. I didn't have a great vision of what I wanted when I started but I didn't want that to slow me down. The architecture is terrible - Claude separated some functionality into different classes but did a bad job at it and created a big ball of mud. Now that I finally have my vision locked down and implemented (albeit poorly), it'd be a great time to throw it away and start over. It'd be interesting to see the result and see how long it takes.

> Once you try the models, you realise how good they are, and there is the second incentive. These things write working code and as the models get better and better, the argument that they make mistakes will get quieter and quieter until it fades away, like all high conviction opinions that turn out to be wrong over time do.

Is this true though? Will the models get better and better? I'm not a hater, but Sonnet/Opus generates terrible code albeit mostly functioning code.

This is cool. Now I can look out the cockpit of that plane that's been doing a pattern over my house for an hour.

No. I just told Claude to do it and after a couple of iterations it was working.

I use Claude Code Sonnet and Opus for this and it works pretty well. Not perfect but good enough. At some point, I will have but to go in and tweak layout but like 99% of the functionality and layout is done for me.

I had claude build a backdoor command port in the Godot application I'm working on. Using commands, Claude can interact with the screen, dump the node tree, and take screen shots. It works pretty well. Claude will definitely iterate over layout issues.

I hate to be that guy that points out other projects but YARG has vocals and there are a slew of songs that can be used.
