OP says "you want to select a whole Markdown document built from SwiftUI primitives", but who wants that? what sort of product thinking tells us we want that? that sounds like a document editor, which has been hard to build for decades and sounds out of scope for an llm chat ui. everyone has landed on only supporting selection within each contiguous block, with a copy button for the entire message

last week with claude i saturated a team premium seat at day 6 of its cycle, and a max 20x seat at day 4, plus ~$150 extra usage spend, with a 60hr work week where i am not even primarily an IC, as well as a codex 20x plan at day 3 with a personal project

any serious scraping service these days will fail over to a headless browser when it fetches an asset referencing a js bundle that isn't verifiably a vendor script

papers are always coming out saying smaller models can do these amazing and terrifying things if you give them highly constrained problems and tailored instructions to bias them toward a known solution. most of these don't make the front page because people are rightfully unimpressed

i don't think all sides of this discussion agree on what a "new idea" is. i am a very creative person but i've never had a truly original thought and i don't know how having one would be possible

we are the ones qualified to say what needs to be cut to provide reasonable certainty for the deadline. it is not the job of non-technical stakeholders to mitigate risk in technical projects

it's not about the individual record, it's about correlating records. if you can sequence everything in time it gets a lot easier to deanonymize data

New comment by replygirl in "Bitwig Studio 6 details revealed, and editing gets a big boost"

replygirl — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 16:04:22 +0000

bitwig is the leader in probabilistic sequencing and automation. they entered the space with three big ideas: (1) you can modulate anything by anything else, (2) any modulation can have probability applied, and (3) automation can be applied to individual notes. these ideas were always around but relegated to more niche tools like reason and max. thanks to bitwig, the other daws have spent a lot of the last ten years applying these ideas as well, but bitwig still has the most complete solution. it's a great primary daw for outboard- and plugin-averse recording engineers and bedroom producers; it's the best _secondary_ daw if you use one of the majors for work and want something fresh for play, inspiration, or continuing education.

i use ableton. every time i get excited for an update, it's because i'm finally getting something bitwig users have had for years

now i've spent 2 minutes implementing, 1 minute drafting and assigning the pr, 10 minutes checking everything, 10 minutes each of two reviewers' time, 10 minutes of qa's time, and 1 minute reporting. it's also likely i spend 2 minutes explaining what it is to each of our PMs and our CTO and why they don't need to worry about it. then i still need to field questions from devs, this time "why did we change this?" and still "what's the difference?". so that costs the company even more.

i expect to hear "hey replygirl, can we upgrade from ruff to uv format?" from 5 of my coworkers in the next month, and "what's the difference between ruff and uv format?" from another 10. per interaction i expect 2 minutes of reading and explaining, plus an average 5 minutes listening to the other party wax philosophical. so the convenience costs my job $400

tip: there is a service menu setting to disable ads. webos is much nicer since i toggled that. the entry point with the standard remote varies between models and os versions, but you can also get service remotes on amazon for cheap
