It's interesting you say "just" a tool - I think the median reader here sees tool as an inherent part of what "computer" means. I'm not trying to dismiss your perspective here, I think you have a real point about the…
Human art most definitely can be reduced to tokens, since that's also essentially how we compress and transmit it. Now, whether a statistical token generator makes "real art" is subjective (as human art already is). And…
Sure - but it could still be pretty relevant if we want to ask about the future of beverage making and consumption, especially if new technology enables everybody to mass-produce lemonade (and similar sugary beverages)…
The takeaway (that obfuscation is bad and specificity is valuable) is clear and uncontroversial. But an issue is that nearly every suggestion entails lengthening your prose. There is a time and place for precision, and…
As most of the messaging on this page implies the release will occur in 2023, I figured it was worth noting this excerpt towards the bottom: We will be exhibiting the Omnichord OM-108 and announcing the new official…
Whatever the default is in this Nikola theme - https://themes.getnikola.com/v8/hack/ I tweaked the theme just a bit, to add the faux scanlines, URL mouseover highlight, and background green glow (trying to mimic an old…
https://gallant.dev Haven't had the chance to write for awhile, but been wanting to get back to it. In addition to normal static site stuff it has webmentions/pingbacks, comments, and (probably now broken)…
I also make music, and have found the Fediverse to be a far more welcoming and varied place than commercial social media. Sure, I'm only getting maybe hundreds of impressions - but that's better than the dozens I got…
Laptops from the same series are still offered, and (for good or ill) still pretty similar to 2019 - https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/workstations-isv-certif... I have a 2020 model, and would concur with this post -…
It's perhaps worth steelmanning the argument here - though technically one can release an app for free, it is generally the case that any app with significant investment (warranting monetization) will take one of the…

I agree that it's similar to a hard fork (and has similar problems), but would argue that (due to the "interdisciplinary" nature of fintech) it's not incompetence or laziness but rather the blind spot/hubris of being a…

As another example "fake news" isn't new either, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_journalism However, I'd suggest that the new challenge isn't simply scale and omnipresence but algorithmization - modern…

I'm a huge fan of lifelong learning, and overall agree with this post. But, from a hiring perspective, it is missing a few important details: 1. Sometimes you have things that need to be achieved in a time-sensitive…
So, you're saying because past research has been correlated with causality fallacies, we should just assume it's the case when we see claims of this sort? ;) More seriously - I'm well aware of the difficulties of…
Again, not vouching for the study as a whole - and agreed that scientists can get a bit "creative" when trying to actually describe and motivate causal mechanisms (in their defense, a very hard problem). But I'm just…
We use difference-in-difference models (Eq (1)) to test whether a rise in the prevalence of Airbnb in a census tract in one year predicts increases in crime and disorder in the following year. ... The models control for…
I also found the balance of the book refreshing, and took the lack of "character development" as instead a sign of his intense focus on the problems at hand. It actually made it more plausible to me that he survived -…
I've also seen similar usage of glitch versus bug, and think it's a useful distinction. But I'd say that actually it can be consequential from an engineering perspective, and can even run counter to the outsider…
As with much expensive software, the biggest difference isn't what it does but who uses it. You didn't mention it, but Pro Tools is the dominant (and truly pricey) DAW in professional studios, and so a big reason for…
They recently updated it to allow you to use an iOS or Android device as an external display: https://www.roland.com/us/support/knowledge_base/36005866483... Clunkier than a device with a proper screen, but the same…
This is a fun tool, but it's also pretty revealing of the arbitrariness with which "genre" is labeled. Though I get that there is frequent innovation in electronic music, I would argue the same is true of all music, yet…
