YEAH! If its less than a 100TB as second I don't even get out of bed!


I wonder if one might solve this by using an accumulator that merges objects as they are emitted based on some ID (i.e. request ID say) and then ether emits the object on normal execution or a global exception handler emits it on error...?


I was going to say that. That definitely would be a solution (and ought to be the way it works).


yeah, but TidalCycles doesn't have the interactive code that shows you what is playing or have inline sliders :P


Strudel doesn't have all of the advanced features of TidalCycles. It really just depends on what you need. Strudel is easier to get started with, and definitely more visual/immediate, but TidalCycles has the full power of Haskell, longer history, and more advanced tooling. Either way, it's really nice to see people getting more involved in programmatic music, regardless of which tool they use. :)


I can smell a startup coming on...


Yeah, but WHY? If they are on the website, why would they want to look at the feed for the website, on the website, in the browser instead of just looking at the website? If the feed is so amazing, why have the website in the first place? Oh yeah, you need something to make the feed off :D


I don't want the feed to look amazing. I just don't want to present a wall of XML text to non-technical users who don't know what an RSS feed is!


yes, but why??? Your on the website and you have a link to the syndicated feed, for the website your on, and you want to make they feed look good in the browser... so they can click the link to the website _you are already on_??? The argument you should be looking at the feed XML in the browser instead of the website is bonkers. They are not meant to replace the website coz if they were why have the website?!


But you are tech-savvy and know about RSS & feed readers and such like!

Think about it from a non-technical user's perspective: they click on a RSS link and get a wall of XML text. What are they going to do? Back button and move on. How are they ever going to get introduced to RSS and feed readers and such like?

I think a lot of feeds never get hit by a browser because there isn't a hyperlink to them. For example: HN has feeds, but no link in the HTML body, so I'm pretty confident they don't get browser hits. And no one who doesn't already know about feeds will ever use them.


I just checked and I’ve had 3 hits for my blog’s RSS feed from a legit-looking browser user agent string this year. Almost literally no one reads my site via RSS in the browser. Quite a few people fetch the feed from separate clients.

I wouldn’t spend 5 minutes making that feed look pretty for browser users because no one will ever see it. I don’t know who these mythical visitors are who 1) know what RSS is and 2) want to look at it in Chrome or Safari or Firefox.


You are absolutely right!!! But...

What about people who don't "1) Know what RSS is"???

And what if you could make it friendly for them in 4 minutes? You could by dropping in a XSLT file and adding a single line to the XML file. I bet you could do it in 3 minutes.


This guy is full of horse manure.


Games? One of the biggest industries, I mean verticals, in the world?


It’s a little counterintuitive, but games is under railroads.


If its counter intuitive then the classification system is bogas


Their decisions are based on data and so sycophantic must be what people want. That is the cold, hard reality.

When I look at modern culture: more likes and subscribes, money solves all problems, being physically attractive is more important than personality, genocide for real-estate goes unchecked (apart from the angry tweets), freedom of speech is a political football. Are you really surprised?

I can think of no harsher indictment of our times.


I think the cash grab is that by far the biggest use case for these models is personal relationship. Chai AI is doing more tokens per month than Anthropic all together and its just personal relationships.
