  • Reaper has really good audio editing features. It’s not freeware, but it’s pretty inexpensive (less than $100). You can try it for free. It’s a full-fledged DAW so the interface might seem overwhelming at first, but it’s really very easy to use. And there are lots of video tutorials on YouTube.

    I love it and highly recommend.

    Thanks, this is a good idea. I currently have a 2nd laptop specifically for using Windows apps, and I’ll stick with that. There are also VSTs that only work in windows, and I’m not bending over backwards to make all this windows stuff work in Linux.

    I use Linux for writing software, and most of my PC needs actually. But having Windows on a 2nd machine is very, very useful presently.







  • It’s waaaay too polite and clean, to the point of self righteousness. Twitter is still more fun, but it leans too far in the other direction.

    Lemmy was too self righteous at first too. People acting like we came here because reddit users were bigots… no, it’s because spez is a greedy bastard who ruined the site.

    So I think bluesky might become cool like lemmy when people finally relax.

    Twitter > BlueSky > Mastodon

    Personally I think we should all use the kbin microblog.







  • Yes your message is clear.

    To answer your original question, I have no idea what it will look like when software writes and reviews itself. It seems obvious that human understanding of a code base will quickly disappear if this is the process, and at a certain point it will go beyond the capacity of human refactoring.

    My first thought is that a code base will eventually become incoherent and irredeemably buggy. But somebody (probably not an AI, at first) will teach ChatGPT to refactor coherently.

    But the concept of coherence here becomes a major philosophical problem, and it’s very difficult to imagine how to make it practical in the long run.

    I think for now the practical necessity is to put extra emphasis on human peer review and refactoring. I personally haven’t used AI to write code yet.

    My dark side would love to see some greedy corporations wrecking their codebase by over-relying on AI to replace their coders. And debugging becomes a nightmare because nobody wrote it and they have to spend more time bug-fixing than they would have spent writing it in the first place.
