Did you know a computer only uses power according to the load? Even if you have a 5090 you will probably not reach a 1300w sustained power consumption when gaming. When just seeding torrents I think it will pull something like 100w depending on your setup. But your raspberry pi will use even less but won't be a world of difference.

    It's the same concept but the extraction will be quicker the darker the roast. It will also be less sour the more it's roasted, so yes it is more balanced it that way. Just experiment with the brew time, go for longer until it gets too bitter, then dial it back and you should be good, if you're looking for the sweetest cup.

    The music isn't randomly generated, you have to dial in a chain of synths. And there's a MIDI pianoroll like other DAWs. Not sure what kind of random you're refering to. At the end of the day it's just a fun little project.

    It would be silly to use AI to make music, but not as silly to make a DAW. It replaces programming skills not musicianship.

    LLMs are not very environmentally friendly at the moment but they could theoretically be created without much harm to the earth. The investment in datacenters right now is going too fast is not regulated enough. However I'm gonna throw in a shameless red-herring here and say there are other things like animal agriculture are way bigger problems. But we should make eco-friendly LLMs too.

    Will AI destroy humanity? In the sense that they will replace basic reasoning and critical thinking skills, making humans dumber, yes. But we are not as close to armageddon as Musk and Altman say we are. They are bluffing. Remember the hacking incident? Then some guy quits openAI, goes on a media tour as a "whistleblower" then Altman and the other tech bros go on twitter in support of the whistleblower, saying he's right... That never happens to whistleblowers, they are silenced not given a megaphone by the guys they are doing the whistleblowing on. OpenAI want the government to "regulate" the industry so no new competitors can enter the market. If the public think LLMs are almost smart enough to destroy the world (in maybe 10 years) they will just think, wow that's really advanced tech we should keep our investments in that, number will probably go up for a while longer.

    And to be clear, I think the use of LLMs on this project made me a bit disappointed cause it would be cooler if it was not. Vibe-coding is definitely not a plus in my book but this projects used it and it still looked fun.

    There's a cool new DAW that has a linux version. It's really wacky! It's not Libre but Free as in beer.

    If you read the comments at the end of the article you can get more context on the development. LLMs are involved in it's creation but I still think it's an interesting project.

    Here is video of a guy trying out Septabee: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJGIw8E2BgM

    Does anyone else feel like Firefox is running kind of sluggish recently? I'm using Zen browser on Zorin OS. I feel loading times for everything has increased in the last couple of weeks. Element like volume sliders and such aren't responsive for like 5-10 seconds.

    Not sure if it's my system or not but other apps run fine. I've already done optimizations in about:config but I havent tried switching browser, because I don't want to, I like Zen browser.

    That equals 123 euros per kg. Which is expensive but not not surprising for high end coffee. It the price can go way higher than that.

    I usually pay around 40 USD per pound = 80 EUR per kg for what I would call entry level specialty coffee. I live the nordics btw.

    How much is the coffee at your local roasters?
