This looks like it might bring windows on par with OSX for MIDI, but while windows has that terrible driver architecture that allows for one hardware driver to interrupt another hardware driver I'm afraid audio will always be second to OSX.

These "Deferred procedure calls" are ever present and make windows audio completely unpredictable. Having random audio buffer underruns because your video card decided to do something that stopped the OS from sending data to your sound interface is really a big problem.

It's the meth.

This is awesome! I started experimenting with LLMs and Ableton over the break too. I used a few off the shelf VST templates to create a VST that leverages an LLM that can create LilyPond format music. This creates multi track VST output (MIDI) from the parsed LilyPond. I have a system prompt that explains LilyPond to the LLM (it already knows anyhow), and then I give it a prompt like "Megaman, 64 bars, ice man level", and it pumps out 4-5 tracks of MIDI that is just what I asked for. I get nice sheet music on top of that.

I like this because I'm really in the creative process still, it feels like a tool like "Scaler" (nice tool btw) where you're picking origin notes, but really putting the song together yourself. It can suggest "Synth Bass" but I'm the one assigning it from one of my other VSTs sounds, mixing, picking, etc.. And if all goes well playing some lead on the guitar or seaboard and then deleting it all and starting over.

> "As the letter states, based on the agency's thorough review, neither the Numident database nor any of its data has been accessed, leaked, hacked, or shared in any unauthorized fashion," an SSA spokesperson told The Register. Again, no mention of that copy.

Wouldn't "any of its data" qualify as an answer to the question: "was the data in the database leaked"? It seems like SAA did answer, but we needed to generate clicks.

I'm not at all surprised that the majority of top level comments are saying things in the spirit of "Trump is trying to kill us to make money!" when if you were following along this _multi decade long regulatory battle_, and knew about the not-so-recent Chevron Deference rulings you could have predicted this. You wouldn't even need to leave HN to keep up, it gets posted here all the time!

And these comments have an air of erudite smugness about them that can only come from a person completely without doubt of their convictions - even while being completely devoid of any value to the conversation.

The title is at best hyperbolic and at worse at outright lie - in any case the pattern of the title was intended to stoke whatever mental illness we see at play here: "I speculate endlessly on my own world view to the theme of the article title so I can signal to my peers that I'm doing righthink.".

But this is what makes the article get engagement, so to hell with communicating ideas, let's stoke division and get those clicks!
