Spec-Driven AI Development

You write a prompt, hit enter, and watch the console light up green. Code pours out. It feels like magic. Then you try to maintain the thing a week later, and you realize your shiny new AI agent just built a leaking bucket.

Episode #2

Here is the second podcast, slightly delayed since production but ready for your enjoyment. The reason for the delay is that neither I nor Mogens have found the picture we promised in the podcast, so we'll have to get back to you with that one. Greetings from the Ringve Early Music Course here at lovely Sund, Innerøy, Norway.

Lebanese blogging

Reading up on what is happening in Lebanon I found The Lebanese Bloggers and a Letter from Beirut that I think are a very good read in addition to following the news. These bloggers are there telling us their story and about the confusion. Go read

Beware of flying Sterling and Norwegian

This is flying with Norwegian or Sterling: I arrive at Copenhagen airport 1,5 hours early (I had planned on being two hours early but apparently the airport train was malfunctioning). There is one counter and a long line that has not been organised at all. While the line quadruples in size, security from another airline makes sure to move the line so that their passengers can come through. I'll probably fly with that airline next time.

What do signatures mean?

I'm quite used to transposing music to where it fits my instrument, even though I know some people don't approve of this. I think what is important to know when doing this is what character is implied by using a certain signature. Since I don't have a copy of Mattheson's Neueröffnetes Orchestre I looked for the quote and found this page that quotes Mattheson directly on what they mean. Here is a translation to English by Babelfish

Cokin systems

I'm planning on getting a filter system for my lenses, and I'm investigating the Cokin P system. I found this article that is really nice with lots of images and explanations on how to use such a system.

mxdublin

From the website: mxdublin is a Java/Python framework that can be used to sequence generic events with pure-data or max. In short: very cool, an easier way of Max/MSP or PureData scripting for us who are more into lines of text than objects and lines. Basically they use Jython and mxj, which means that I'm looking forward to mxdublin~ based on mxj~ :-) Downloading and getting ready to install.
