The topic on my mind around this was: in the large, like MJ or Woody Allen, it's hard to make a call on the art vs. artist.
But in the small, it's much easier because people aren't divided into domains. It's all mixed together. And if you can't work with people, if you can't be a team player you limit your abilities.
ReiserFS4 didn't get merged because of his empathy issues, and those issues are also presumably contributors to his murdering his wife.
So it's all wrapped up together. Making stuff is a team sport. Even people like Fabrice Bellard seem to be successful because of collaboration. Everything uses FFmpeg, but he's no longer the main contributor. It's successful because of people working together.
But yeah, let me know what you think.

- Blackthorn 2y ago> The topic on my mind around this was: in the large, like MJ or Woody Allen, it's hard to make a call on the art vs. artist Why do people think this is a dichotomy, or a call to be made in the first place? Instead of artist being an inseparable part of the art itself? Chuck Tingle put it pretty well: > strange when buds talk on 'separate the art from the artist'. a painting is not just a square that ends at canvas edge. it is history and intention. if you build wall between them you are numbing yourself and only experiencing half the art. the artist IS THE ART, at least to me > separating artist from art is like walking out of a play during intermission youre missing half the show bud, for better or worse. gotta accept theres a whole second half and grapple with that because its all one big performance
- Kye 2y agoOne of the great thinkers of our time.
- Blackthorn 2y agoI completely agree, with no irony.
- mattbee 2y agoReiserFS4 didn't get merged because of his empathy issues, and those issues are also presumably contributors to his murdering his wife. Man, I have worked with some egotistical programmers and given some bad performance reviews. But "could also be a murderer" never crossed my mind.
- JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B 2y ago> It uses OpenAI voices for Hans and others I usually shun AI because of the numerous hallucinations, but it’s the first time I think “that’s fucking gross.” I mean, what’s the point of faking everything? Especially when it’s a murderer?
- adamgordonbell 2y agoThe quotes are direct quotes. No LLM involved, just using TTS models OpenAI released.
- mardifoufs 2y agoI mean, it's not like TTS is new? What's the issue with TTS?
- bschne 2y agoDetail, but I think this part here is slightly off: > Fast forward to March 1998. Saint Petersburg. A cafe next to a canal. Hans is meeting a woman. Nina Sharanova. A mail-order bride. According to his Wikipedia entry, Nina was the interpreter involved when he arranged to meet a mail-order bride: > In 1998, while working in Saint Petersburg, Russia, Reiser reportedly arranged to meet a Russian woman he selected from a mail-order bride catalog.[15] Five months later, he married the pair's interpreter, Nina Sharanova (Russian: Нина Шаранова).[16] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Reiser https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Reiser
- adamgordonbell 2y agoInteresting! That I did not know. The book didn't present that way, unless I missed something. Why was a doctor working as a translator I wonder?
- bschne 2y agoDoctors listing themselves in mail-order bride catalogues seems at least as unlikely to me, but admittedly I know nothing about the usual demographics of this phenomenon
