That is their actual account. We have this discussion every time they post something sadly

There isn't a single image of the device on mobile, I was confused because I thought this was a VST

The copy makes it pretty clear this is firmware for a CM5.

Rest assured, if you click the "READ THE MANUAL" button on the landing page you will see screenshots of all synth engines and configuration screens.

The repo's README also starts with a screenshot.

Thanks.

To be fair, it doesn't seem to be mentioning this until the "Purpose-built on Compute Module 5" section which is more than halfway through the entire landing page, I was similarly lost until I got to that section and actually understood what I was looking at :)

Looks really fleshed out and fun though, now I just need to get my hands on a proper carrier board it seems, as the audio out of the box for standard CM5 development I/O board is kind of horrible.

Thanks, I'll try to improve the reader experience.

They clearly missed that part where I said I'm on mobile. That half a page is a lot longer on a smaller screen. Also I still want to see a picture or video of this running on actual hardware!

I've actually fixed the page based on your feedback. Not sure why you continue to be bothered by my open source hobby's landing page.

Cheers.

And yeah, line-out audio on a Pi is a non-starter.

This was really designed to be surfaced in a DAW via USB.

Oh, yeah I actually missed that fully, that it expects a USB-connection. Would be a lot of fun and I could find a lot of uses for something like this in my DAWless setup, but with audio-over-USB there isn't much I could do at the moment, but since it's Linux, just changing the output (once I have a new carrier board...) shouldn't be so hard. Thanks for sharing it :)

For the DAW-less use case, I actually prototyped this with a DAC hat before deciding to go the Overbridge route. I might resurrect that support some day...

Obsidian is just a client that uses markdown files stored locally, so yes, since the files are typically on the same machine as the agent harness

And are exposed as local files stored in documented, stable, and sane paths.

Their sync is good too, in my limited experience.

Sync is good, but they also have a great git plugin. One big advantage of local text based notes is that you can just source control them and set up quick shortcuts to commit, push and pull; as well as setting up automations to do that automatically when you open the app.

This is highly dependent on the user (Mine is a god damn mess) :D.

You should definitely check out his YouTube series if you haven't seen it and want more context

People forget these things learned to speak English by reading conversations like this.

A local model doesn't have downtime. No you can't be as hands off with it as something like Claude, but isn't that a good thing?

You're still ignoring their mention of the wider economy. The banks were bailed out, but everyone downstream of them still felt the brunt of the impact, atop paying for that bailout with tax dollars.

There's a lot of valuable things that can be done in that range, especially when token costs aren't a concern. Not every problem requires SOTA

I believe they mean token costs aren't a concern when you're not paying for a SOTA model via API, and are instead running local models.

Infinite monkeys on infinite typewriters, and all that.

Correct, I have local hardware, not infinite money.

The UHK also supports mouse keys. I own both the 60v2 and the newer UHK 80 (I was a beta tester), these keyboards are my final destination. The only reason I would consider a change is if they released an ortholinear layout.

Yes, of course. I’ve accidentally fallen down the split keyboard rabbit hole and now I can’t get out. UHK seems like it’s got everything that I might ever need but I’m going to stick with my Aliexpress Corne for a bit longer before I take the plunge.

I went the opposite way: I started with UHK, then went for a ZSA moonlander, but settled on a kbdcraft Israfel, which is a relatively cheap, split ortholinear.

I felt most of the extra functionality and polish that I guess makes up the massive costs of UHK and ZSA wasn't actually necessary. It was cool and fun and useful to try a bunch of different stuff, but then over time, I wanted things to be simple and small which UHK and ZSA Moonlander aren't (ZSA voyager wasn't at the time).

All I'm saying is if you've got comfortable with a cheap Corne, I think you might feel underwhelmed if you spend a lot on something a lot fancier.

I have a tented split scissor switch that is quite wide, and it still annoys my shoulder with the inward pivot. Plus I seem to do reasonably well two fingering a smart phone so, well, what is the point? We can put a SOC in an interface with reasonable speed these days. I would love to see a radical departure. A glove interface surely could be better?

I wear ear plugs every night. The disposable foam ones are good enough to prevent me from being woken up by my partner getting ready before me, but I would most certainly hear a fire alarm. I'm laying in bed right now with them in and I can still hear the fan pointed at me. They significantly reduce low-mid range frequencies, but they're not 100% soundproof
