Oh that's very interesting. I am actually using a UI called "DB Browser for SQLite" and checking its logs shows that when I add a PK, it actually creates a new temporary table, copies over all data from the old table, deletes

Yeah I am starting to notice that (not from the US originally) re: how America reacts to this topic. Also, it looks like even the term "ebony" itself in the context of African-American culture is considered archaic.

Thanks, I haven't heard of Ebonics before. Looks like at this point in time its usage is becoming discouraged (the term, not the phenomenon it describes).

Providing lyrics is called "writing lyrics". If you think that pasting lyrics into a prompt makes you somehow more involved in the process of writing music I don't know what to say. > can absolutely produce something that

Interestingly, recently there is a push in the US to normalize African-American (for the lack of a better name) grammar and spelling, e.g. using "do" in place of "does". Wonder if this includes normalizing the usage of B

I am just starting to explore SQLite in the context of personal projects and, more recently, Publii. So this is interesting. Didn't know about triggers. I found one statement confusing in this post: "I can't add a primary key

This is going to continue until legislation is introduced to fine companies for each customer data point exposed. Eg a single data point = $100. Email, name, address - that's $300 per customer. Some recent hack exposed my name, address

What an insightful article. Taking care of yourself, becoming more confident, expressing interest in martial arts, making censorship a little more transparent on his platform, is seen as becoming more rightwing and more "bro". If

This is very unfortunate. I had to disable all emergency alerts on my iPhone because of similar misuse that #1 has no effect on me personally (the way e.g. a tsunami potentially would) and #2 is completely unactionable (a missing person of

If by "structure" you mean "add a verse and a chorus" then sure. Music composition goes slightly beyond that.

by changing1999 2y ago
It's not closer to producing that it is to composing. In fact, I would say it's closer to composing in the sense that you can at least add lyrics and pick a genre. Production requires specifying very precise requirements, which th

AI mentioned above is not at the level of capturing and expressing ideas or emotions beyond "a sad rock song about a breakup". Try guiding it to express any clearly formed musical idea. Author's attachment is to a large degre

"Music is about communication" (John Lennon, IIRC). Don't expect people to profoundly connect to music that is nothing more than a collection of regurgitated ideas. Not to sound too crass, but a parallel could be drawn to sme

> Also nobody cares about music without good lyrics Well, that's an exaggeration if I've ever seen one. Firstly, so much of current chart music has atrocious lyrics. And secondly, instrumental music is very popular.

That's a good way to put it. I trained in many gyms across two continents and never saw anyone getting chocked out in class.

Not on a balancing ball. It's far far harder than staying upright on a bicycle. You have to stay focused and control several muscle groups. Not falling even for a minute is a very challenging task. Being able to balance for 10 minutes

Not sure if you have experienced martial arts. It's constant learning. Sparring is a small part of the process. See kata in karate, hundreds of moves and transitions in BJJ, etc

No one is getting regularly choked out in BJJ. You always tap. The goal is not to injure your partner but to learn together. Source: 5 years of BJJ, I have never been choked out, I am not an idiot.

This (intuitively) makes sense, since standing on a ball requires full focus, can't really get distracted.

I would like to see a comparison with other types of physical exercise that contain an element of continuous learning. Wrestling, BJJ, even boxercise, crossfit and such. Since the argument seems to be specifically about learning new routine

I am not saying that LLMs don't provide value, just that this value might not be captured exclusively by OpenAI in the future. If the idea is that OpenAI will have an unmatched competitive advantage over everyone else in this area, the

Uber's autonomous division had more hype around it, and company's evaluation was largely based on the idea of replacing human drivers "very very soon". Now the bulk of their revenue comes from food delivery.

That's the thing, nothing points to a world with a single winner in AI models. I get what you are saying, but not sure OpenAI can survive the burn unless they build an unmatchable AGI. And that's pure speculation at this point.

What you are overlooking is the fact that AI today and especially AI in the future is going to be about integrations. Assisted document writing, image generation for creative work, etc etc. Very few people will look at the tiny gray text sa

We heard for years that Uber was the company that's most likely to be the first to develop self-driving cars. Until they weren't. You can't just trust what the CEOs are hyping.

It took around 20 years for Amazon to get to $15B profit, and over 10 years for Meta/FB. Both had very clear paths to profit: sales and ads. OpenAI did not yet demonstrate how they will be able to consistently monetize their models. An

While it was an affordable vehicle, saying that it was practical is an overstatement. Charging networks were abysmal and actually still are for non-Tesla compatible vehicles. If you had experience using EVgo and similar small networks you p
