bschoepke/ableton-live-mcp: General-purpose MCP bridge for Ableton Live Β· GitHub

πŸš€ Discover this must-read post from Hacker News πŸ“– πŸ“‚ **Category**: βœ… **What You’ll Learn**: Ever wanted to control Ableton with just your voice? Me too! I made this MCP server so I could just ask Codex to do anything in Ableton Live for me, while I was nap-trapped by my baby. Unlike other Ableton MCPs I tried, this one can do pretty much anything that is possible via Ableton's Object model; the agent can just eval arbitrary python that runs inside Ableton. It also has some tools defined for common tasks so those work faster and more reliably. I…

Reminder: You Can Stitch Together Lots of Little HTML Pages With Navigations For Interactions

Reminder: You Can Stitch Together Lots of Little HTML Pages With Navigations For Interactions

πŸ”₯ Read this insightful post from Hacker News πŸ“– πŸ“‚ **Category**: πŸ’‘ **What You’ll Learn**: I wrote about building websites with LLMs β€” (L)ots of (L)ittle ht(M)l page(s) β€” and I think it’s time for a post-mortem on that approach: I like it. I’ve tweaked a few things from that original post but the underlying idea is still the same, which I would describe as: Avoid in-page interactions that require JavaScript in favor of multi-page navigations that rely on HTML and are enhanced with CSS view transitions (and a dash of JS if/where prudent). As an example, on my blog…

Humanoid Robot Actuators: The Complete Engineering Guide

Humanoid Robot Actuators: The Complete Engineering Guide

πŸ’₯ Check out this must-read post from Hacker News πŸ“– πŸ“‚ **Category**: πŸ’‘ **What You’ll Learn**: A Complete Engineering Reference for Actuators in Bipedal Robots "A humanoid robot takes roughly 5,000 steps per hour. Each step sends a shock of 2–3Γ— body weight through the leg actuatorsβ€”forces that would be fine occasionally, but become destructive when repeated thousands of times without pause. This relentless duty cycle is why most actuators fail in humanoids, and why the survivors all converged on the same engineering solutions. Critically, because this impact happens faster than any sensor loop can react (sub-millisecond), the actuator must…

LLMs Are Not a Higher Level of Abstraction

πŸ”₯ Check out this must-read post from Hacker News πŸ“– πŸ“‚ **Category**: πŸ“Œ **What You’ll Learn**: LLMs Are Not a Higher Level of Abstraction " A picture is worth 10K words - but only those to describe the picture. Hardly any sets of 10K words can be adequately described with pictures." -- Alan Perlis Posted by Lelanthran 2026-04-27 I am seeing the claim everywhere online that LLMs are a higher level of abstraction. If you claim that you haven’t seen this claim then you had better stop reading now - this blog post is not for you. Specifically, I am…

Atom is the name of an XML-based Web content and metadata syndication format, and an application-level protocol for publishing and editing Web resources belonging to periodically updated websites. All Atom feeds must be well-formed XML documents, and are identified with the application/atom+xml media type. About this document This document focuses on The Atom Syndication Format produced by the IETF AtomPub Working Group. In the event that this document differs from the Internet Draft, the Internet Draft is to be considered authoritative.…

why modern TUIs are a nightmare for accessibility β€” The Inclusive Lens

why modern TUIs are a nightmare for accessibility β€” The Inclusive Lens

πŸ”₯ Discover this trending post from Hacker News πŸ“– πŸ“‚ **Category**: πŸ’‘ **What You’ll Learn**: The mythical, it's text, so it's accessible There is a persistent misconception among sighted developers: if an application runs in a terminal, it is inherently accessible. The logic assumes that because there are no graphics, no complex DOM, and no WebGL canvases, the content is just raw ASCII text that a screen reader can easily parse. The reality is different. Most modern Text User Interfaces (TUIs) are often more hostile to accessibility than poorly coded graphical interfaces. The very tools designed to improve the Developer…

Agentic Coding is a Trap

Agentic Coding is a Trap

πŸ’₯ Check out this must-read post from Hacker News πŸ“– πŸ“‚ **Category**: βœ… **What You’ll Learn**: "AI does the coding, and the human in the loop is the orchestrator"This is the sentiment being hyped up around the industry currently: traditional coding is all but dead, and Spec Driven Development (SDD) is the future. You generate a plan, and disconnect from writing any code. The agents know better, and handle all the implementation. You are there as the expert, to provide "good taste", review the outputs, and constantly steer the agent(s) to execute the plan that you meticulously put together.The workflow…

Colorado Grandma Keeps Getting Pulled Over Because Police Cameras Cannot Tell the Difference Between a Zero and the Letter O

Colorado Grandma Keeps Getting Pulled Over Because Police Cameras Cannot Tell the Difference Between a Zero and the Letter O

πŸ’₯ Check out this must-read post from Hacker News πŸ“– πŸ“‚ **Category**: πŸ“Œ **What You’ll Learn**: A 76-year-old woman in Colorado did not expect her golden years to involve repeated run-ins with law enforcement. Yet here she is, getting pulled over again and again, not for speeding, not for running red lights, but because of a one-character error tied to a police database. That tiny typo has turned her ordinary drives into recurring traffic stops, and she has no easy way to stop it. If this sounds familiar, it should. We covered a nearly identical case in Cherry Hills that…

Why TUIs are back by Alcides Fonseca

πŸš€ Read this must-read post from Hacker News πŸ“– πŸ“‚ **Category**: πŸ’‘ **What You’ll Learn**: Terminal User Interfaces (TUIs) are making a comeback. DHH’s Omarchy is made of three types of user interfaces: TUIs, for immediate feedback and bonus geek points, webapps because 37signals (his company) sells SAAS web applications and the unavoidable gnome-style native applications that really do not fit well in the style of the distro. The same pattern occurred around 10 years ago in code editors. We came from the native editors of BBEdit, Textmate (also promoted by DHH), Notedpad++ and Sublime to Electro-powered apps like Atom,…
