Maybe the AI considered that after joking together for a while it could make a last one, touching a very sensitive subject but at the same time not being offensive at all. How will be differentiating a malfunctioning AI from one that is too

With specific I meant strong cultural values (maybe). How Germans understand work is different from how Spanish, French or Italian do. But not only work: friendship, society, conflict, etc. And you need to learn their language in order to u

If you are willing to work remotely you can do, at least, twice as that. German market pays best in Europe but you need to speak the language. The culture is also very specific. If you don't have family and don't mind working in o

I realized trying to get 3d terrains printed that we are very impeded in the Z axis. If you don't multiply Z by a factor your map will be almost flat. Everest? 8 miserable km? Come on, I can do that on the horizontal with one leg (ok,

I alternate very busy and sabbatical periods. When I am busy, I discipline myself to do relatively boring things. Then I have a lot of ideas of very cool things to do. Then I stop being busy and I am not interested in those anymore. Why do

I also miss the spirituality side. I miss rituals for milestones with my kids a lot. Can you provide some references?

Had something like that reading Herman Hesse as teenager. I learnt that I don't need to be or feel "good", necessarily. What you describe fits a lot what I experienced then. I don't give much importance to that but I thi

If you are willing to take on a large risk put it in crypto. It may outperform the best fund by several orders of magnitude. Or it may go to zero (they say).

Anecdote from drummer here. I made an Android application that would detect the stroke on the snare and would show the tempo. Of course, you only hit the snare in 2 and 4, so you had to multiply it by two... and forget it completely during

Three hard steps: 1) Remove your twitter, facebook, etc. accounts. 2) Throw the iphone through the window and buy a bad phone that works with your bank (or better, change bank). Silence all alerts except the critical (persons that may need

"music" is also a very broad term. There is complex music you don't even grasp without paying attention and there is music that is designed to get your attention and start dancing. Music helping with your flow status might be

Hi! I built something similar: https://fergonco.org/MusicJargon/ . I think you will find it interesting. It compiles to midi, though. Your browser support is quite a feature, indeed. Had long discussions with my brother

You can ask for $18 and not stick to that offer. If they pay you that, all is good. If not, you go on working with them until you find something else.

Another unsolicited advice, from a 40yo this time: do not use alarm clocks to wake up. The pressure shifts to the evening because you have to go to sleep early if you want to wake up early. And then it magically happens that you sleep as mu
