A big part of the selling point of a hardware synthesizer is the user interface, which will be deliberately be designed to remove friction in making music. The OP1 is overpriced even by synth standards, but it seems to me like a well-design

From what I've seen they think its like a 50/50 chance of the first starship blowing up, but they are already building the next couple ones, so they are ready for that. They are not just building one rocket, they are building a ro

Starship seems really promising, though, making amazing progress in record time. I'm really optimistic about SpaceX, that whole company seems to be aligned toward one goal only, getting people on mars, if I had any expertise in that ar

Yeah the fact that *this* is what the mighty Google just let loose upon the world shows that they don't really care any more about their users, their products and their supposed mission of organizing the worlds' information. The f

I really wish someone would come along and kick googles ass on search, it's embarrassingly bad. It's wild how I used to look up to the FAANG folks, but it has become a real emperor has no clothes situation.

It's so cool to get a tour like this, fascinating stuff. The part at 13:30 seems to be some really valuable knowledge, when he says: if you are not occasionally adding things back in, it means that you are not eliminating stuff aggress

And Vicarious Visions has been doing great work for a while, if anyone can turn it around it's probably the two outsiders, but I doubt that they will be given the tools to actually fix this. We'll see I guess, I know I won't

Makes you really wonder if this was an isolated incident or if there are other cases of these tactics that were successful in silencing the victims. Makes me think of the series DEVS where a big Silicon Valley company also uses their securi

Something also to keep in mind is that even if you become a GM making a career out of playing chess tournaments is REALLY hard, it is sometimes hard to break even because you have to pay travel costs to go from tourney to tourney. Hikaru ma

There is a big difference between erasing someone from history and not naming something in someone's honor. It isn't like nasa is now going to scrub all the history books of the name James Webb or outlaw mentioning his name. I wou
