As a metal lover and hack guitarist, I would love an AI bandmate drummer that jams along with me. Back when I used to play in bands, I’d often jam with a mate who was a drummer, he’d wait for me to start with a riff and then join in. Sure,

Excellent, my gig as a sexy sax player is safe! Jokes aside, it’s still very early days for this kind of generative AI. I see a real use case for virtual band mates that play along with whatever type of music you play when jamming at home,

I’ve always bought cds to support artists i like, even during the napster days, and even now in the world of streaming. I used to buy digipaks, since they were more limited, had cool artwork and more features. These days, i buy records for

My father is 71. He plays World of Tanks and CS:GO (against bots only for this one!). He’s always loved games, from the moment he brought home a second hand C64 that we’d play International Soccer or Olympic Games on when I was a kid.

What i find interesting are the discussions around good vs bad prompts and being adept at “prompt engineering” We’ve had this in the engineering world a long time in the form of Google and StackOverflow searches. The great engineers i’ve wo

Very cool, would be great to have a way to share these or to view ones others have made as presets/templates. Here is a 'double bevelled' border: https://imgur.com/wPxvdCZ

Doubt they would be using mixers to do so, and the new CEO who is administrator of the bankruptcy has stated all actions will be transparent etc, I think they would’ve announced it? Keeping it simple, seems like SBF is doing this now he has

One could argue we are drowning in garbage regardless? Most online content is very average. Maybe it’s a good thing because we won’t need to store so much junk as the AI can be more ephemeral and answer as we need?

Exactly, and we have a recent example of this: "Mr Zhong pleaded guilty on 4 November to hacking the website and has forfeited his Bitcoin and assets to police as he awaits sentencing." https://news.yahoo.com/stole

Thanks! I'm guessing some other photos from landmarks are taken from elsewhere? For example, in Kansas there is a 'Geographical center of the 48 states' monument (sorry, I'm from Australia so not familiar with what this

It works, people are shy. I had a crack at talking to some folks, more to comment on how interesting the application itself is. I wonder how the app deals with many people connected? Maybe different instances?

Really cool. Curious - where are the photos pulled from? The 'Talkie' feature is great, was chatting to a couple of people before about the experience. Well done!

One of the issues regarding content is that a lot of popular shows are in a format that encourages binge watching. It seems impossible that they’d ever be able to keep up with viewer appetites by creating their own content when people consu

The part about how 'cabals' form temporarily to achieve goals and build things is interesting. I was wondering how they go about 'leading' projects if there are no true 'leads', basically, they just form tempor

A better question: why does a child need a smartphone? I don’t want this to be a “back in my day” old man yells at cloud type of rant, but seriously, why? What I’ve observed, often, is the child requests a smartphone because someone else at

No overarching evidence? Are they for real? I feel like there have been many studies over the years into the negative effects of social media on children. Here is one i just googled: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/danger

This is really nicely made, love the style and all the other little tools (scales and modes, chords in keys). Super handy to have a clean minimal reference like this. Great work! I think my favourite thing about this is 'horizontal&#x2

I still have a CS5 (or 5.5/6) master suite license somewhere from i was able to purchase it under ‘educational’ discount back in the day, but I figured it won’t work on newer machines and OS. Are you using yours on an older machine?

That sounds like a great course. What stood out to me is that the group is preparing for an actual show and gets real world experience in an environment with set audience expectations (ie. people coming to see a group of amateurs), which is

Out of curiosity, where did you get these numbers from? I’m not from the US, but what I do read and see on the internet is that people in the US also have a lot of debt (education, medical, and of course credit) I’m surprised that even for
