sschmitton Show HN: Cadence – A guitar theory app

Pretty good! Translation by AI? First lessons quite well, but first quiz in German "Welche dieser Noten ist... ganze Tonoberhalb?" makes no sense.

sschmitton Ask HN: The ultimate user interface

Jeffrey Snover, inventor of PowerShell, wrote in 2007:

"It was a mistake to think that GUIs ever would, could, or even should, eliminate CLIs."

16 years later. Has the situation changed? Will it ever change?

sschmitton A Scalable Approach to Modeling on Accelerated Neuromorphic Hardware

Neuromorphic systems open up opportunities to enlarge the explorative space for computational research. However, it is often challenging to unite efficiency and usability. This work presents the software aspects of this endeavor for the BrainScaleS-2 system, a hybrid accelerated neuromorphic hardware architecture based on physical modeling. We introduce key aspects of the BrainScaleS-2 Operating System: experiment workflow, API layering, software design, and platform operation. We present use cases to discuss and derive requirements for the software and showcase the implementation. The focus lies on novel system and software features such as multi-compartmental neurons, fast re-configuration for hardware-in-the-loop training, applications for the embedded processors, the non-spiking operation mode, interactive platform access, and sustainable hardware/software co-development. Finally, we discuss further developments in terms of hardware scale-up, system usability, and efficiency.
