It's like on Star Trek where a pre-warp civilization can be seriously contaminated by being given technology that they didn't develop, but in this case we are both the contaminator and the contaminated

I'm hopeful of that too, but as far as I'm aware, we have never had a form of automation that is essentially telling a computer "you figure it out... I don't care how it works" and that is what worries me, because we're implementing solutions that even the developers can't understand

That's fair. I'm taking pains to only speak for myself so hopefully I didn't come across as judgemental

I still see even the ideal case as circumventing a vital step in problem solving, because its mechanism is opaque and detached from the fundamentals of the problem domain. Where if I solve the problem literally any other way, it will have brought me to a deeper understanding than an LLM can provide

So you have something that is not only actively harmful to the people and planet (with most of that harm conveniently tucked out of sight), but also its apparent benefits arguably lead to a displacement of the creative processes which normally drives innovation

I've been thinking quite a bit about why this feels so much worse to me than other things, and the kicker might just be that in about every case I've seen, I truly believe I'm better off not using it

Great cover! Would you be willing to share your GoatTracker module? I'm learning the program by attempting to reverse engineer it from a register dump of the .sid file, and it would be cool to see how close I'm getting! No worries if it's too much trouble or if you simply want to keep it to yourself

Totally rewrote my pokey sound engine, should be much more accurate, and I was also able to get individual channel feeds for the visualizer which wasn't possible with the old engine (well, not that I could figure out, lol)

So, I happened to find the web-pokey project which I see you contributed to, and managed to rewrite my engine based on it!

I saw Mario Paint is trending, and it reminded me of this thing I made 3 years ago using my own application which was inspired by the SNES version but in no way respects its limitations

he went to my school and we used to play together as kids. he was already a piece of shit. while some kids are like that and learn to be better people, in his case it was more like an early sign of sociopathy

Beethoven Piano Sonata #1 (SID)

Got the scope hooked up to the emulation, with proper triggering and waves colored by frequency youtu.be/KS75eIwonok

decent progress on my first SID tune
Score: codeberg.org/bobbicodes/b...

That was my first drum machine when I was a kid 😻

that is disappointing to hear because that's what I based my player on, I assumed it was at least good enough

SID sequencer emulated in Bytebeat

at first I thought this was some kind of anti-homeless bench

this is so old, but my very first webapp was this thing I made for learning the chemical elements: bobbicodes.github.io/elements/

the embedded podcasts are actually really good, lol

Alternatively, if you'd like help with a project or just want me to build something for you, that would be cool too!

I am passionate about education, and because we're in an age where I feel it is critical that we do not lose the social aspect of learning, I'd like to offer personal tutoring in subjects like programming, music and mathematics. I've had many students in a wide variety of ages and experience levels.

Due to recent political changes I've lost a portion of my income. Thankfully I still have enough to pay my rent and utilities, but I'm going to need to figure out something for cat food and stuff.

Wrote a new oscilloscope viewer for the bytebeat editor

Here's the full tune

Implemented the POKEY highpass filter thingy, and made a function which takes the sequence and modulates the pitch of the notes, so it morphs from a weird octave thing to a weird sawtooth thing

"I'm Seeing Shadows" (Dual POKEY)
Score: codeberg.org/bobbicodes/b...

POKEY with N163 wavetables.

Pokey 1: Noise drums, square drums, linked distortion C bass
Pokey 2: 4 channels in volume-only mode, each fed by a N163 channel

First cut pokey emulator with 16-bit pitches.
I didn't spend much time tuning it, just made a quick pass by ear to get it somewhat close but it sounds better than I thought it would lol
