Careful you don't fuck up your hearing with an fx chain mistake.
As a long-time web/app developer getting into game dev, it feels like I'm entering "the big leagues" of software engineering. Tougher problems, more problems, more _interesting_ problems, and problems without prebuilt…
Theory and practice are both important. A few analogues: - fundamentals on an instrument vs performance - low-level graphics programming vs using a game engine - comp sci vs software engineering The theory side here…
Living in LA, the LAPD helicopter noise really is incessant. It's hilarious to hear flying cops try to be intimidating through when dispersing illegal concerts or singling individuals out in non-violent crowds. It's…
As is their right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartleby,_the_Scrivener
Ah gotcha. My bad, didn't know it was a joke. But I'll still take it as an excuse to post RFK being a fool hahaha.
You really ought to never trust the output of LLMs. It's not just an unsolved problem but a fundamental property of LLMs that they are manipulatable. I understand where you're coming from, but prompting is unacceptable…
Love this article. If you'd like a book that works deeply through the topic of commodified humanity, Minima Moralia by Adorno is painfully pertinent here.
He is not a vegan. Here's him drinking raw milk recently: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/PzSe0z6gH0M
Thanks so much for replying. I didn't think it was your intention at all.
The logo is fairly evocative of the SS insignia. To explain in the clearest terms: unlike the SS insignia, the lightning bolt in the logo has tapering at the bottom. The second element in the logo, the slash, does not…
Imagine typing a description of your ideal self into an image generator and everything in the resulting images screamed at a semiotic level, "you are not the correct race", "you are not the correct gender", etc. It…
Definitely Guattari! Anti-Oedipus, which he wrote with Deleuze, is a trip and really wonderful. That's actually how I came across Reich. Guattari is interesting for pioneering schizoanalysis at the La Borde clinic. He's…
I agree that would feel pretty artificial, if we understand it the utilitarian way. But Wilhelm Reich doesn't really follow a utilitarian calculus. I.e., for him pleasure is not the equal yet opposite of unpleasure.…
One of my favorite radical psychoanalysts. He has a stellar analysis of fascism in "The Mass-Psychology of Fascism." It's almost frightening how prescient he was not only for it's 1933 publication but for our current…
I'm happy to see people learning the Curry–Howard isomorphism the fun way.
Of course this message comes off as rude. Some open source leaders have immense skill in being nice. Dan Ambramov and Matz (Ruby community's motto: Matz Is Nice And So We Are Nice) are positive examples of a high order.…
I wouldn't call it fearmongering. The shortage is real and has been happening for months. Those affected are likely aware of it.
Always love to see Tero Parviainen's new projects. Big inspiration for my webaudio tinkering.
I think diving into his personal life can be very useful with Nietzsche. I can't say the same with every philosopher though. Wonderful Wittgenstein quote, btw. Nietzsche's almost constant sickness helps explain concepts…
In analyzing political pieces (especially one so concerned with The Enlightenment), it's important to go deeper than content. What moved someone to put so much effort into this thought specifically? Nietzsche, critic of…
This may very well be true, but only as a post-hoc explanation. Reactionary politics (all politics, really) have their home at a subconscious level. Politics are ways of feeling and acting. It's an error to think that…
This is an area that many parties handle differently. Streaming services, artists, labels, and distributors don't all handle translation metadata consistently. There are specs in DDEX for this, but it's a matter of…
My time to shine! I work in music distribution. The Apple Music style guide is a great and accessible place to look if you're interested in music metadata: https://help.apple.com/itc/musicstyleguide/en.lproj/static.h...…
I can't help but feel too old for this piece post-Trump. Eco succeeds in helping us identify fascism, but this is not the problem. The story of Eco's friendship with African American soldiers is odd to me. Eco sees them…
