By underdog I meant the above HN commenter wanting to prove to us that the AI-created songs he likes are actually considered good by others.

If they do add VST support I could see them becoming a legitimate player. Without it it's definitely just a toy.

They probably won't. And if they do probably everyone will ridicule the songs. But maybe they will link the songs and maybe at least half the repliers will say the songs actually are good. I like rooting for the underdog.

Right. That's pretty much my stance. I don't totally discount the position that the human "soul" is what makes art art and all that, but I still do think something can be very enjoyable and good without being created by

I simultaneously feel repulsed by AI music and "art" and yet am totally open to being captivated by AI music if I really feel something is musically better than almost any human-made music I've heard. I just haven't hear

As long as it's helping them be productive, I don't really see an issue with that. Going from doing nothing to doing something is a net boost.

Nah, it's pretty undeniable. But this is mainly because Nazi Germany was singularly more of a force for evil than any other nation or organization in many centuries. They were uniquely horrible. So it's hard for anyone to be as ba

All of my comments in this thread are on the anti-Israel side but this is just such a terrible comparison in so many ways. One can detest what Israel is doing without at all trying to defend Hamas's October 7th attack.

Didn't Israel end the occupation of Gaza between 2005 and 2023? They still put up a blockade, but they didn't occupy it.

Israel's incursion into Gaza in October 2023 was more justifiable than Nazi Germany's invasion of Poland, yes. I wasn't trying to provide a full comparison between Nazi Germany and Israel, and I prefaced the sentence appropri

I agree. But ~99% of Bluesky users deeply, deeply, deeply hate AI and anything associated with it, so don't expect any movement on that front for at least a few decades.

Exactly. Agentic LLMs are amazing for people who suffer from chronic akrasia.

At some point, when basically the entire world is saying one thing and only two countries (the US & Israel) are saying the opposite, you really need something strong to convince someone that basically the whole world is wrong. This is s

I understand that, and I am sympathetic to those needs to some degree. They do have increased legitimate surveillance needs. But they've lost all of their good will. Partnering with them is too morally and PR-ily hazardous. I am not sa

Israel has a legitimate reason to want to try to intercept and detect terrorist activity, but given what they've been doing in Gaza for the past year and a half, they simply can't be trusted. They've lost all credibility and

The difference is that pre-2023 it could at least have some plausible excuse of trying to detect terrorist activity. With Israel's current actions in Gaza, there is no longer any plausible excuse or defense for any security action Isra

What evidence is there that Palantir is lobbying for Chat Control? I can't find anything online. I know you said "probably", but is your speculation based on anything? To me that would be considerably worse than just selling

Counterfactual: let's say Israel had never blocked food or other aid (or at least not more than since before October 7) but everything else were the same. Would it still be considered a genocide?

To be fair we haven't hit 2026 yet so his prediction might still turn out to be somewhat accurate. But yeah, probably not.

I normally care a ton about latency and in the main project I work on I put extreme focus on reducing input latency in text input fields, but... I've used VS Code for ages. I tried Zed. I don't really feel a difference. It's

I've used gevent for years and will probably never stop. I greatly prefer it (or Go) over asyncio. People act like it's dead but it still works perfectly well and, at least for me, makes async networking so much simpler.

by meowface 1y ago
gevent has been in Python for ages and still works great. It basically adds goroutine-like green thread support to the language. I still generally start new projects with gevent instead of asyncio, and I think I always will.

This is not and has not been the consensus opinion. If you're not an AI researcher you shouldn't write as if you've set your confidence parameter to 0.95. Of course it might be the case, but it's not a thing that should

I started using Bitwig 10 years ago as my first (and still only) DAW, predicting it would be a good early adopter effort investment. I wasn't wrong.

Your posts read like someone experiencing LLM psychosis.

Not to get political but I suspect this kind of thing is also pretty analogous to how many otherwise normal but often unintelligent people get into things like neo-Nazism through online influencing. (I am just speculating that the person yo

There isn't any. (Also, on top of that, I think it's overall not a very good article.)

I'm not trying to say that that should strongly increase the probability he's correct. I just think it's useful context, because the parent is potentially implying that the author is naively falling for common misconceptions

I think this one very likely falls into the "was definitely psychotic pre-LLM conversations" category.
