- My wife is in her 40s, doesn't tour anymore, and makes a good chunk of her income from spotify.
- I hate spotify as a company but I agree, at least in my case, a large share of my wife's income comes from spotify.
- That really stinks. As much as I love my kindle, I recently started buying paper books again, in part because of stories like this.
- As someone recording myself playing music, I've been meaning to see if any of these tools are good enough yet to not only separate vocals from another instrument (acoustic guitar for example), but do so without any loss of fidelity (or least not a perceivable one).
The reason I'm interested in this is because recording with multiple microphones (one on guitar, one on the vocal), has it's own set of problems with phase relationship and bleed between the microphones, which causes issues when mixing.
Being able to capture a singing guitarist with a single microphone placed in just the right spot, but still being able to process the tracks individually (with EQ, compression, reverb, etc), could be really helpful.
- This is definitely interesting information and I plan to take a deeper look at it.
What a lot of us must be wondering though is:
- how maintainable is the code being outputted
- how much is this newfound productivity saving (costing) on compute, given that we are definitely seeing more code
- how many livesite/security incidents will be caused by AI generated code that hasn't been reviewed properly
- So sad. To me, he's primarily the "Spinal Tap" guy, but he did so much more.
- The Primagen video about the bash scripts underpinning github actions runner was crazy. I'm a half-assed programmer at best and I don't even think I would make some of those mistakes.
- this is the way .. I mostly just think of it as c# too (I know f# etc exists but nobody I know is using it)
- I'll admit that some of this resonates with me, but as a line-level manager at a HUGE tech company, there are severe limitations on how much I could implement this philosophy.
- I tried something like this a while back, where I just installed a very minimal ubuntu system with nano and vim and not much else on an older laptop (no X windows or Wayland for sure).
- AMZN went up almost 4 percent between the day of the outage and the day after. Crazy market.
- are you comparing bose over-ear headphones to airpods or bose earbuds?
- So I work at Microsoft and will admit that the company has had many Own-goals over the years, but think about it this way. Apple provides software updates for a given model of mac for 7-8 years on average. Windows 10 came out more than 20 years ago. How long should they put resources into it?
- I was surprised by the launch of the chatGPT desktop app for mac only, and then Sora only for iOS. Kinda seems like a middle-finger to Microsoft, which is strange considering how closely MS and OpenAI were aligned not long ago.
- perhaps "extrasolar" if we want to be extra pedantic
- I use ripgrep every single day of work. Whether it's in the command line or searching in vscode. Thanks burntsushi!
- My daughter wakes us up every morning smacking her tonie box (that's how you skip songs).
The figurines don't actually contain the music, they just have an NFC chip in them. The Tonie Box is connected to wifi and downloads the content.
The child doesn't really know any better though, it still gives them the physical experience without a screen.
- Email deliverability is a nightmare. You need mega reputation to not end up in spam filters.
- I could probably live without iMessage (though I wouldn't love it), but the one thing I really cannot live without is a great camera. My child is still young, my wife and I are still enjoying ourselves (when we have time), and I really do cherish the photos. I know I could get a separate camera, but it's not the as being able to snap photos spontaneously.
What I really want is a super reliable way to block social media from my iPhone, only allowing a short window per day.
I use "Freedom", but it doesn't reliably block things, and I end up cheating.
For one, it's the right arrow key for complete for most things (but tab for others).
But by FAR the worst thing is that often times you'll type a command and try to tab/arrow complete an argument, and the module/dll or whatever is not loaded into memory, and so theres some blocking operation and loads the module which takes 10+ seconds. This happens to me almost every day.
I do love powershell otherwise though, after 20+ years in bash, there is actually some things to like about it.
