I need a better name for it though - NoteNet is rubbish.

This is an example of something that I've wanted to try for *years* but have never found the time. It was an especially full weekend and still to be able to get this far is remarkable.

There are components for DSP (separate implementations for monophonic and polyphonic), beat detection, tempo detection, a CLI, a UI.

There's a common internal representation, and modules to export in different formats.

And tonnes of unit and integration tests.

*or throw out code review for something else. Like prod observaility, automated testing etc.

Standout engineers still write concise code with AI assistance as well… but it’s just so tempting to let it rip and push “sloppy code” that solves stuff but is verbose + less maintainable?

Thank you for your attention to this matter

Thanks!

That's epic! Going to be listening to that for a while!

There's also support for indexing ReadOnlyMemory and some memory and performance improvements.

The documentation has been updated, and I'll be blogging about some of the new features over the next few days, starting today: www.goatly.net/post/2025/11...

Curious as to what the "games you definitely shouldn't play" are

I can't cite the source, this was like 30 years ago. But I recall an artificial intelligence researcher coming up with "the cuckoo problem". The real danger to humanity wouldn't be a genuinely self aware machine mind that could be our equal or better. It would be a non-sentient cuckoo contraption. 🧵

Great, thanks!

Thanks Barry, so if I'm following along, for container builds we'd need to know the base sdk/runtime images have been updated? Any idea if/when that'll happen?

Took me too long to realise it wasn't a gif

Oh, my son will LOVE this!

The movie analogy works well - I've compared LLM output to the uncanny valley effect we saw when movies couldn't quite make CGI "real" enough
