Audion, interpreted scripting language that is fun to write and lets you make interactive music, a/v installations using supercollider or any daw and hardware. BPM synchronization between real OS threads and Ableton sync is built in as well. https://github.com/audion-lang/audion

the devil is always in the details. those details are on every level you look at: human minds, nature around us, space. so if your inputs are vague, you should only expect outputs that are vague and generalized

why rewrite if you can check for and fix bugs? If you are thinking of AI fixing bugs is less expensive

Audion - a scripting language that is very fun to write and lets you make interactive music, installations, generative compositions etc https://github.com/audion-lang/audion using supercollider or any daw and hardware. AI picks it up easy so Agentic coding in Audion works very well too.

Ask HN: Are we all walking into a trap?

skor — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 09:52:45 +0000

Hello HN, I use AI to code, not all the time but it gets work done. Unless you have been under a rock for the last few years I bet you do to some degree as well. I'm sure we've crossed that line where we won't go back to unaided coding, so..

What are your philosophical thoughts on paying a subscription to get your work done? The new norm? Lets see what local models can do? The richest bird gets the worm? Lets hear, from the humans that are in here please.

Coming from computing, I always liked the idea that measuring is possible and good practice

just verified, it cant make a decent techno track, nor a drone track nor anything experimental. Its creativity is subpar, it feels like listening to a producer that knows where things go but is tired of playing, zero interest in creating/ performing, it gives off that kind of vibe
