Without pacing we would have had Opus 6.. damn it! /s

New comment by iamsaitam in "Ask HN: Why does it matter if no one reads your novel as long as the AIs do?"

No, of course not. Unless by writing a novel, you mean that the writing is done fully by a LLM and the author is just doing it for the money. This is a very silly question, it should be obvious that the writing itself is important, it's like asking a musician if they are okay that their recorded song is never heard, but instead people will hear some LLM generated garble similar to it.

I think it's quite the opposite, they live in an imaginary world with no consequences.

Maybe instead of delving into physics and bio, delve into ethics and empathy.

Why do you rely on ffmpeg and web audio? For this use case, Rust provides everything you need. It seems to me that this project is mostly vibe coded.

"Now, that is not to say that I want their wealth to be capped or politically reallocated." Why not? It's done for wages, why should wealth be any different? Besides the technicalities, which you are not talking about and therefore I will also not get into them, I don't see any ethical reason why wealth should not suffer the same biases that wage taxation does. This kind of opinion just perpetuates the imbalances in the current terrible lop-sided system we have.

What exactly has this update led this to be a "huge win"?

You're completely ignoring the fact that the majority of people do not expect a search result ranking to be influenced by bidding. Yes it happens, but unless the item is labeled as an ad, most people will infer value that does not exist. And this is wrong. The only reason they appear in the search is so that they do not look like ads. There's plenty of places to advertise and the best for the consumer is for transparency to exist in the first place.

Show HN: Rekall – an Ableton Live project management companion application

iamsaitam — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 12:47:12 +0000

Hello, I'm Ricardo and this is an application I've been working on for the past half year.

I've been making music for a while and I have a few hundreds of projects, which several of them, have names that are completely meaningless to me. So I sought out to create a way of always having an audio file from every project without the need for me to render anything manually. Well.. I kinda lost track of my goal and ended up creating an application to work along with the M4L device.

That's how REKALL came about. It's a companion app for organizing/managing your Ableton Live projects.

Import all your projects in one place, filter, sort and tag them, manage your audio exports, group them into releases, take notes. And with the companion Max for Live device, every session you play gets captured automatically, leaving two recordings, one of the last 30s and the other of your arrangement.

I hope it helps you getting organized and finishing music.

If you consider that AI companies should pay the same for a book, as a person does, you should read about royalties.

As other commenters replying to you have said, I was alluring to OpenAI failing to obtain a trademark precisely due to the "Open" in their name.

Avoid trademarking fees! No need to spend money on trademarking what can't be trademarked ;)

New comment by iamsaitam in "I Stopped “Creating Content”"

iamsaitam — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 14:46:38 +0000

The medium doesn't matter, because the majority of content creators are mediocre at best on making said "content". They are just good at selling you the idea that their content matters for you to waste your time with it. If your title is "content creator" your end goal is money/attention not making the content for the sake of making it.

Commitment. The chances it's sloppy content are much higher when the presentation costs very little.

You know it's AI slop when the title is some variation of "I built.."

The real joke is that these MEPs leave for summer break like they are school children and their attendance doesn't matter to the whole.

If you dig Perlin noise fields, the next stop is fBM (Fractional Brownian Motion). Inigo Quilez has a good article about it - https://iquilezles.org/articles/fbm/
