<p>Interesting that it doesn't specifically call out Anti-Virus scanning (which does occasionally result in at least one of these scenarios). I've seen many SQLite database become corrupted and the best you can do is have a backup.</p>

<p>The memory manufacturers have made an interesting mistake. The tech giants of the world will be working to replace them from the supply chain as soon as possible. China already makes it's own RAM albeit at 16nm but you can bet they are working to get down to 4nm.</p>

<p>It's a shame because it's a great little guitar practice tool and the thing it was inspired by has long since been left to rot.<p>However they will be relaunching soon as fee[dB]ack and are likely to end up bigger than the original.</p>

<p>Nice, surprised this isn't attracting more comments. Obviously it's an AI-first development and it doesn't render a lot of stuff but it's still impressive.<p>We'll see more of these and hopefully with standard licenses like MIT (why go for a weird license on this one?) but what's interesting is how far you can get based on interpreting the standards and running industry tests. That suggest we need more written standards information (implementation guidance) and more tests.</p>

<p>Would love to see this done for the Spark amp as well, this level of hardware hacking is beyond my skill set.<p>I recently built my own Multi FX app/plugin (<a href="https://guitar.soundshed.com" rel="nofollow">https://guitar.soundshed.com</a>) and am looking for ways to squeeze it (or a version of it's signal chain) into commodity hardware as replacement DSP signal chain.</p>

<p>Owning a home is like paying into a bank account made from bricks, but it increases in value. Yes it requires upkeep and maintenance, because entropy wants it to be a decaying pile of rubble. The land will always have a value, so maintenance is kind of optional-ish.<p>The people trying to convince you to keep renting are, sometimes, rental investors stealing from your children's inheritance. Renting is paying a property investors mortgage in return for a home you don't have to/cannot directly maintain but you are still paying for the maintenance on a weekly/monthly basis at an agreed rate with annual increases.<p>On the other hand if you're not going to have kids it's bit like Brewsters Millions where you try to spend everything you make without acquiring assets and without running out of money while you still need it.<p>You can always sell and go back to renting, but if you rent for 30 yrs you will put at least a couple of homes worth of your earnings into renting over that period.</p>

<p>I don't think you can go completely hands-off for quality products but you can relax and let the agent do as much as possible. It does enable things that probably wouldn't have happened otherwise.<p>If you are already comfortable with letting other devs work on features then it's easier, because it's similar (arguably you have more control with AI, because what you say goes regardless of hierarchy).</p>

<p>Years you say. Snark mode activated.<p>If you are "choosing" between operating systems, son get some rest it's past your bedtime.<p>If on the other hand there are 3 or more different operating systems running on your current desk, with multiple VMs, well ok lets talk.<p>Linux fan, great? Have you ever patched the kernel, that seems like the minimum before I can take you seriously as a voice of experience. Running other people distro scripts doesn't count but I'll accept applying a diff. Basic points if you have configured swap manually and know the lifetime of your /tmp<p>macOS user, awesome, do you know what a kext is. No? Oh. Never built a hackintosh? Uh, ok.<p>Windows, great, you know how to open a command prompt as system, right? Wait you've never heard of sysinternals huh, cool yeah.<p>If you're going to lecture others or roll your eyes at an OS, start from at least ankle deep levels of experience.</p>

<p>"Can <i>I</i> Get Claude to Fly A Plane" isn't the same thing. Interesting though, would be a good test for different models but it relies on the test harness being good enough that a human could also use the same info to achieve the required outcome. e.g. if latency of input/output is too slow then nobody could do it.</p>
