Ask HN: Help me restore the LCD displays on classic samplers so I can use them

Hacker News - Tue, 09/17/2024 - 7:38pm

I have gotten hold of a few classic Akai samplers from the 90ish. Sadly, the lcd screens are either not working, or impossible to read, or faintly visible. This is a common problem think with a lot of electrics from the era. I will focus on the Akai S3000XL. Its near mint. Everything clean, wonderful buttons, mint condition inside. Turns on spins the cdrom drive, checks the floppy. but the screen while illuminated is entirely blank. I can turn it on and off, and I can adjust the contract. All of which I have done without any improvement. Now I can easily fix this buying a replacement here https://www.mpcstuff.com/lcd-screen-for-akai-mpc-3000-s3000xl-mpc-60ii-mpc60-led-upgrade/ But its $223USD plus shipping and customs. I cant afford that for one sampler and no way I can afford it for several. Here I need your help. I am a software guy, not knowledgeable on hardware. Displays in this form factor can be had for cheap. but of course it won’t work (I believe) with the connections, I need “hardware” that I can plug into the connectors for the display on the sampler, and connect it to a cheap display that can be had cheap now. I sort of wonder if a Pi could be used as the. Bridge hardware. I would be quite willing to have connects hanging out of the sampler as long as I could have screen that I could look at. Then I could use ut  (ugly ugly ugly and not ideal). How do these things work?

Are the original displays programmed in a “do this with pixel ,3,3” that is uniform at some level? Or are the displays more like a terminal? Is there a way to unify these things?

If the bottom falls out of AI market, what's job Plan B?

Hacker News - Tue, 09/17/2024 - 7:29pm

AI smells bubbly and there's a reasonable chance it could pop soon, throwing many thousands of AI engineers onto the streets to survive. What are similar alternative jobs and the best way to get ready for them? What's in your Aipocalypse Planner? Even if you disagree with the pessimists, it's always good to be prepared.

Show HN: I Started a Podcast on How Companies Are Applying LLMs

Hacker News - Tue, 09/17/2024 - 7:12pm

Hey HN,

I’ve recently launched a podcast that dives into how companies are leveraging large language models (LLMs) to solve real-world problems in unique and creative ways. Each episode explores case studies, technical blogs and research papers to explain how LLMs are applied.

Some of the cool episodes we’ve released so far:

- Uber's Use of LLMs for Mobile Testing.

- DoorDash Enriching Product Information with LLMs.

Each episode dives deep into the why and how, breaking down technical implementations, business impact, and the broader implications of using LLMs in innovative ways.

If you’re working with AI or just curious about how it's being applied in ways you’ve never thought of, I’d love for you to check it out and share your thoughts!
