   I didn't think that, I was just curious about your perspective. I think I'm observing the same stuff everyone else is observing and, even the other side of the world, it feels far too close for home, geographically. And, having

   I don't trust any of the feedback loops, or the good faith of any of the kinds of organizations that would use them. Show me a time when a company was truly accountable for a "computer mistake" and didn't just shrug it o

   I think it's a harmful act of technological hubris to suggest that it's possible. Employment is a human relationship. I don't see much evidence that humans are able to construct a system that can respond to all of the human i

   I would dearly like to see legislation that means that non-human supervision constitutes an elevated a risk to the employer. e.g. UK Data Protection Act 2018 A controller may not take a significant decision based solely on autom

   Thanks! By toy I meant a physical thing, on an ESP32, for example.

   Thanks! I did something with a raspberry pi and PyGame a few years back and I wanted to make something with an ESP32.

   Thanks! I played with trackers a lot in my youth! I mostly want different samples beecause I'm lazy, I'm trying to build something with an ESP32 and didn't want to put the effort into downsampling.

   I'm not sure if I'll find it here, but something I was looking for, and never found, is a selection of free instrument samples (i.e one for each note), enough to make a toy keyboard. Anyone got any recommendations? (edit - the tag

    Heard an intesting analysis of this on BBC news. The court was more or less bound to accept the 'assurances', as they were an underlying predicate for the whole extradition framework. To challenge that would be to unpick a lot mor

    It's not "engineering" if someone with go / no-go control hasn't baked it into the process ahead of time. IMHO.

    Citation needed for what? I don't think such a product exists yet. I was talking about the calculus of how you appraise products.

    It's nice having durable products, and frustrating when things succumb to unnecessary failure. I think that given the externalities of producing it, though, it seems increasingly short-sighted to look at that metric in isolation. What

    Okay I'll bite. I just see a flexing cube (agree it looks like a 90s demo). But is this site meant to do anything else? I tried scrolling or tapping and it didn't do anything.

    There's a weird scale thing. Lots of moving parts in a mechanical display? Expensive. Lots of microscopic parts that can only be assembled in a clean room by machines in special locations? Cheap. I guess it's only economy of scale
