Dan Shiebler's personal blog at danshiebler.com covers ai, data and programming. Since 2017, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 14 times, most often “Getting Value from AI Developer Tools”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-03-22, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked for a post about making music and art with machine learning. One commenter, who works in the area, discusses how unconditional generative models learn form from data, but does not judge the post.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Data, math, code, leadership, etc

What Hacker News says?
My take (as someone working in the area) on how/why we are encouraged by this progress: The model is unconditional i.e. any concept of form at all was learned directly from data, with no real structural hints to what it should learn. Generally you get much stronger "global structure" the more prior information you provide either in the model itself or in the input/targets (such as chord constraints, etc.). This is o…
