Absolutely, such a great project! I understand one of the guys behind the project is doing it more or less out of passion as he made his money from WinAmp back in the day?

This post really makes me appreciate the engineering that led to the completely usable and powerful DAWs that ran on the comparatively weak hardware of the late 90s, early 2000s like Cakewalk, Cubase, Logic.

Thank you for the picture there, that was very interesting. My one doubt about all this is if mode-switching really does burn telomeres. Is there any actual evidence of this? I find it hard to imagine that somewhere along the course of evol

The opening sequence over LA's skyline with the iconic Vangelis CS-80 song has to be one of the greatest moments in movie scoring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6dKU22lt3E

I grew up on Bladerunner, and the Vangelis score is like a part of my being. I think 2049 was great. I cant say it's better or worse because it's different but it fits and was more than I hoped for. Of course it has problems but s

I think ML-generation is in a different class than procedural generation. Sure, technically it's procedural underneath it all, but in practice, this is a different category, and I think the products of ML might end up being more compel

Good question. I think it must come down to - land costs (but I think you're not talking about that part) - expensive building materials - permitting and hookup costs - expensive building code requirements - maybe the industry isn

If this is correct then the converse should also be true; by sticking to glucose metabolism and avoiding ketosis you should prevent cellular ageing?

Another thing that happens is being born in a place that does birthdays on a lunar calendar, and then immigrating to a place that uses gregorian/solar, and needing to come up with a birthday in the new system.

Standing forests are perpetual carbon storage. At some point a given area of forest reaches maturity/stability and the rate of tree decay is more or less matched by the rate of tree growth. Once in a while the forest burns down, grows

I just had the misfortune of having to wade through pages and pages of byzantine building code where the relevant parts were scattered though the document. This would be very helpful for that kind of thing.

I might have missed it, but they didn't really discuss how introners replicate. Does the host species accidentally transcribe the intron segments into new introners until it evolves a mechanism to avoid that particular trick?
