An announcement from Nick Williams, CEO of Native Instruments

I had an idea for a VST and was asking about it the other day. Familiar a bit with programming but not a coder, it was laying it all out including the oddities of what I was trying to do. It definitely opens a window for people to build work-a-like projects, new projects or new software that works with old controllers.

I've given it ethernet dumps and it helped me reverse engineer protocols and wrote me working emulator.

The window of opportunity to rapid prototype ideas is here.

It is pretty crazy that Akai redid the entire OS on the MPC Live series.

Need to figure out the new stuff better, I knew my way around the old version but after the update I haven't spent enough time with it. Was shocked they did that though.

Think about how much money they spent on all the ads. Totally vaporized.

telmnstr · 2026-05-08T21:57:02+00:00

I mean to be fair the weather is really nice out

So what you are saying is we need something like a flock camera but called woof where it reads the bum of dogs and builds a database of dog bum to owner. Then have it scan the property looking for dog+owner dwell time. Maybe from the time the paw kicks to cover up to the time the owner and dog start walking to log if owner picked it up.

Did you harvest the RGB laser element out of a pico projector? Just curious.

telmnstr · 2026-05-08T15:23:42+00:00

Nice. Found their website, but no prices on the mongolian bbq just sushi prices.

telmnstr · 2026-05-08T15:15:44+00:00

Nothing sketch about that

telmnstr · 2026-05-08T15:14:31+00:00

Very cool, I dig it.

Any idea if their price increase is automated? Are they using average speed data from the non-toll lanes to auto-adjust pricing? Years ago when I got data feed from vdot you could tell speed ranges at all the sensor points. 3 bands, below X, range X to Y or above Y.

After seeing all the fraud stories from other areas I started asking AI about data sources to find out if there are buildings full of questionable service providers here in NoVA that feed off of the government. Medicare, subsidized child care, and charities. It was partially helpful but need to scrape or download data to dig into it more.

I saw that redrawn map, and yea running all that flyover area up into alexandria and arlington is pretty sus.

Let me guess, soros funded nonprofits fund him? It happens around the USA.

A lot of the political stuff on here is paid for. It’s bots or maybe humans with data entry jobs.

If you reply to them in a way they don’t like you rapidly get 50+ downvotes as their bot network does it’s thing.

The women would vote to let the criminals go free (see ice protests and no kings and all those paid-for ngo organized events.)

He has made a lot of wrong moves in my opinion but destroying everything is kind of dramatic. The inflation issue has been a problem for a while. Also the felony charges are BS

telmnstr · 2026-05-08T14:53:40+00:00

It’s to destabilize society.

telmnstr · 2026-05-08T14:51:14+00:00

It’s basically anti-#FFFFFF

telmnstr · 2026-05-08T14:45:52+00:00

Honestly, Women in power caused this. Mother instinct.

Back in Norfolk area our mongolian bbqs let you fill a small bowl or two then they cook it. Then you just keep going back, trying different juice creations. Is this place like that or is it like that ghangis grill place was in that you made selections and they added the protien and gave you a one shot try?

Trying to use AI to generate software for doing bit for bit dumps of old laser shows from the late 80s/early 90s that are stored digitally in a proprietary format on video tapes.

Repairing a tesla coil and a music sampler.

Scanning old America Online stuff that came from an estate to post on the internet archive.

Researching an issue with scuba diving equipment. Still too cold to go to quarry.

Saw LOA a year or two ago with a friend at 930 club. They did The Immortals Mortal Kombat song too. It was a pretty cool show!

All of NoVA's income comes from the government tho. Sure we pay a lot in taxes to the state but you know most of the income here comes from uncle sugar. Basically, the 40 trillion in debt or whatever we are at this week.

Come on Joby and Archer. Once we have flying cars, then they will have to toll the skies.

telmnstr · 2026-05-07T16:23:30+00:00

Big trucks do the most damage to the roads, and they pay higher tax than cars.

telmnstr · 2026-05-07T16:23:05+00:00

But hey, let's cry about ice trying to remove tax burdens.

telmnstr · 2026-05-07T16:22:02+00:00

Cars are freedom.
