Musicians already make much (most?) of their money via gigs and I don't think going to watch an AI play at a gig will be all too common. I think we'll be fine. Might have to adapt though.

More likely it's reacting to inflation data.

Sounds like a good idea. Until, like Tornado, the tech gets sanctioned.

Anxiety too in my personal experience. I have an iOS shortcut on my Lock Screen that launches the music app with brown noise on loop and 80% volume. Combined with noise cancelling headphones my life outside is usually very peaceful.

Yeah. In Italy it's a different story though. We ended up with way too many black truffles last year than we knew what to do with. Helped to know the right people of course and clearly this hobbyist collection process doesn't scal

They definitely can be frozen. My girlfriends Italian family does it all the time. They start to lose flavour after a month or two in the freezer though and the texture is very conspicuously different. But absolutely good enough for slicing

I don't know anything about Bitcoin tech but assuming it's roughly like Ethereum it's a negative sum game due to transaction fees/mining. So even in a bull market it's a fundamental property of the system that peopl

More likely it's a question of resource. I expect there's more crimes than people available to prosecute.

Yeah, they are cropping landscape videos 90% of the time. Maddening.

I strongly recommend using iOS Safari, 1Blocker and Vinegar. Between them you get pure HTML video with picture-within-picture support etc and no ads. Feels like you YouTube used to be.

I'm curious: is that in issue with your particular manager or managers in general?

Some really weird product decisions this year. E.g. they are also hellbent on showing me "shorts" in my search results. I can't think of a single occasion lately when I didn't want to see the full description and comment

Wonderfully reductive and so true. But crucially that was a huge browser innovation that has changed how we use computers. I don't think there's an equivalent in Web3 (from a dev perspective); Web3 is basically just Infura providi

I think you're right about that. The guided tour was fine but navigating to the top myself was where I got the reaction. I definitely experienced the height.

Incredible. Thank you so much for that. What an incredible project and one I think will make a huge impact for years. Question. I noticed a very unusual experience I've not felt before in a 3D world; I started to feel claustrophobic -

I ride a Brompton; folds up and I take it into the shops with me.

It's going to smell unpleasant after a while with that ever-accumulating pile of dead migratory birds at the base.

I'm not sure I get what you're saying. Can you clarify? No one can stop you from calling yourself an artist.

by JofArnold 4y ago
Except to an artist, none of this is new or surprising. I've seen a common theme where in people purely in tech underestimate the range of topics already explored in art and philosophy. These things have been discussed for well over a

Here's my thoughts from Twitter a while back and judging by the comments I'm reading, hopefully they'll be valuable/interesting here too: From an "art" perspective DALL-E, Imagen, Midjourney bring little if any

This is the crucial point.

It's already happening with AR; there was a demo on Twitter showing how using Apple's new AR SDK you can just plaster over things you don't want to see. This for me puts AR right up there with AI as a huge risk to society, fo

The M2 MBP has terrible heat management issues also.

Very good points and nicely written. Are you involved in these techs? I should make it more clear I'm far from a no-coiner and in fact I'm deeply familiar with the tech and ecosystem - e.g. i've written my own Ethereum ZK Rol

by JofArnold 4y ago
Indeed. And I'm very interested in the core tech as I say elsewhere; for instance I've written my own ZK rollups for Ethereum as a project to better understand the tech. There's some bits and pieces on my GitHub if you'r

My experience as an engineering manager is limited (I'm less than a year into that role) so I can't speak too broadly but from what I've seen with my own experiments, a team that has autonomy and respect and are treated like

by JofArnold 4y ago
Correct. If you're going to build something like this, why on top of Bitcoin which - as I say - is rotten to its core. With Ethereum and its L2s instant, practically-free micropayments are already a thing. With Solana even... and other

The problem I have with Lightning is it further validates the existence of Bitcoin - a decrepit and highly polluting technology which has at best has failed to achieve any of objectives in any meaningful way, and at worst recreated a financ

Good question... onE that people have written countless essays on! Maybe I'll turn it back on you though to give you an idea where I'm coming from: how would you measure the quality of a friend? Some things are measurable, some ar
