That really bothers me. It might be legal for Apple to do this but it's still creepy as fuck. They're still recording everywhere and sending a transcription to iCloud and they're doing it without consent. This has the same v

Why do you keep saying need to store enough power for the whole winter? Unless you live in the arctic circle you're not going to get six months of darkness. If you're generating 4x to 5x your required energy in summer you don&#x2

There's many a true word said in jest. Like this passage from Red Dwarf: > Mr and Mrs Rimmer were very religious, taking the Bible scriptures at face value. The Hoppists were primarily concerned with a particular verse from the Ne

I'm thinking less about shame, as corporations are dead to shame, and more about proof the TV stored a record of your bank details it got from text to speech. If that's stored as text inside the TV and you lost money because it wa

In an age where AI can search vast amounts of data having something in your home or workplace turning what it hears into text looks like a problem waiting to happen. E.g. As soon as someone proves LG, Samsung, etc. recorded and stored credi

Sorry I’m not quite following what point you’re trying to make. Throughout my life the cost of renewable energy generation and storage has been dropping exponentially whilst growing in capability. That’s been happening for decades now. The

I think it will change. China is currently trying to take control of the whole South China Sea. They’re in a cold war with the Philippines and Vietnam. Next it will go for Taiwan. Then either Siberian or Indian territory with the same “thes

It would still take more space on the page to represent the same amount of music which is also important. Many people have tried to replace standard notation, over several hundred years, and no one has yet come up with a compelling alternat

I think the argument is that it gets harder to recognise tonal intervals the further they get apart on the stave. When sight reading chords pianists, for example, don't really think about every note in the chord. Instead if you recogni

This is actually covered in the video. It's the "we should use a chromatic scale" argument and is surprisingly old. The answer to why people don't use a chromatic scale is also in there. Very roughy, it's harder t

Indirectly related his video on music notation itself, "Notation Must Die: The Battle For How We Read Music"[1], is really good IMHO. > Many people feel that western notation makes it unnecessarily hard to read music. If we wa

No but they are available at very reasonable prices in prime locations. If anyone's interested I have a very pretty one listed in Brooklyn. See my Google search ad for details. :P

I worked at a startup where a new architect decided everything needed to be split into micro services for “scaling”. Thing is we were in an illiquid market that didn’t require the kind of scale he envisioned. Long story short we burnt a hel

So the hardware is capable but the Linux distros aren’t quite there yet? Fingers crossed for them then. I love the idea of a Framework laptop but I’m only interested in Linux performance.

I like Linux and used it as my daily driver for a long time but I find I’m addicted to macOS’ ctrl-scroll zoom feature as my eyesight deteriorates. I’ve not found anything that works as smoothly for Gnome. So I keep going back to macOS wit

I love the film but for a long time I really disliked that Ridley Scott changed the plot. To me Scott's idea that Deckard is a replicant but doesn't know it is just weak. Even the idea that they would make a replicant hunter that

Almost no body does rambling well. In journalism it’s called “burying the lede” and is the most obvious sign of a poor writing, IMHO.

The same is true for Vladivostok but Xi seems pretty relaxed about that.

Is that true or is it just people that challenge the power of the current Communist Party leadership that get punished?

The point is that PM count proves it was possible for other people to remove serving PMs from power. They were not able to ignore public opinion indefinitely and could be removed from power without the need for term limits. No one can remov

That's because in the time since Xi took over China there's been 7 different UK Prime Ministers, most of whom were kicked out of office before their term ended. In that same period Xi has changed the rules so that he can hold on t

I would never use Temu for anything. Elitism has nothing to do with refusing to buy products made with slavery. A lot of people are critical of historic slavery whilst happily buying from Temu. That’s scummy as hell. https://www.

I think it’s a push for either more tracking through login or to push people to more addictive features like endless scrolling and autoplaying videos.
