> have critics ever been in sync with audiences?

I think there was a smaller gap in a few respects.

Firstly I think the film industry as a whole has polarized into "art" and "entertainment" films with too little crossover. Films can and should be artful and entertaining.

Secondly I think critics have become too polarized to criticize films as being "low-effort" or "low-value" entertainment films. There's a reason why people go see blockbusters, they enjoy them!

Finally, I think unfortunately some audiences too quickly dismiss some films as "too artsy" or "too intelligent" or "not wanting to think." There's a lot of fun movies out there which don't fit into normal boxes!

Sadly I don't really see that gap closing. I agree with someone in another thread which said that there's much better and more varied content on "TV" (streaming/etc) in medium-form series. Give me a great limited-run series like the queen's gambit any day! it's the perfect intersection of artsy and fun and high brow and low brow!

They’re going to be very cautious. I work for a company that pays OpenAI a silly about of money every day and only a handful of employees have DALL-E access.
Nice try, but unfortunately I'm one of those people who reads books about topics they disagree with. I've read that book already, and it's disingenuous bordering on a lie to imply that what was happening decades ago to children as cited in that book is at all close to modern full transitions, nor were the motivations the same.
Funny because I've had a lot more positive experiences with and, frankly, respect for, addicts than software engineers.

Reread the following and then re-evaluate what I've written in that context:

Nowhere did I suggest that anything following that was a good idea.

I've been reading it since at least 2017 which was the first time I can find that I emailed someone about it. Don't remember how I was introduced.

I really enjoyed the recent 100 Greatest Stars series as it is always fun to read a ranking list and see where your own picks slot in but few ranking lists go as in depth with their reasoning as this one. Plus, it highlighted a lot of films by the big stars that I haven't got around to seeing yet.

I'm hoping he does a Studio Ghibli ranking at some point.
I feel like all I see you post now is political trolling, which is too bad. "Leading poll questions influence people's answers" isn't exactly hard hitting insight, and that opinion piece is literally about effective ways of reframing discussions to get popular support for different policies, bringing into question how much of this is really "listen[in] to its voters" at all.
bat is certainly a game changer. I never printed things out to the terminal - always did a `less` or a `view` - before I installed bat.

One (very) minor issue I have with it is that when the file is very small - a couple words or lines at most - then the "decorations" it prints around the content get distracting and make the content slightly harder to read. Maybe I should just write a wrapper around it that does a `wc` first and decides whether to do a `bat` or a `cat`.

> Artists with only 2 songs on Spotify are probably fake

Based on what? Spotify has made it very easy for independent artists to publish on the platform. I know small time musicians with just a couple releases.
I do things like that inside Emacs with the consult-grep command from the Consult package, combined with the Orderless matching style, Embark to collect the results in a buffer. This has several advantages over the command line:

- Interactivity: the results are updated live as you type, so you catch typos sooner and can tweak the search terms as you go.

- The buffer of search results you collect with Embark is not dead text like it would be in the terminal, instead, each line is a link to the corresponding file taking you to the line that matched.

- Wgrep lets you edit all the matching lines in place!

Democrats have indeed codified Roe into law in states where they can. Federal law doesn't really work that way though, which is probably why Roe was recognized through penumbras of the constitution or however they would say it. It all gets a bit silly and pompous when we take it to the priests of the law in funny robes, but the practical results of Roe were an almost perfect compromise and undoing it does not seem like a good idea to me.

It would be better than nothing. I like seeing the upper end of the range, though. It says "we're willing to pay some people this much, but any more and we'd be lying." As another commenter has pointed out, it also forces a company making an offer to answer the question, "what about the interview has you offering so close to the bottom of the range?"

In tech, often most of compensation is stock, but I always like to see the salary range advertised anyway.

I find it infuriating that the article states that low budget films are the most disagreed-upon genre between critics and audiences. But then doesn't show any of the data on the budget aspects.
I believe the most apt analogy would be Amazon promoting Amazon-commissioned knockoffs of its merchant's products, something that's already drawn the attention of antitrust authorities.

It will be interesting to see whether antitrust law can be applied to Spotify in this context, since its actions are arguably anticompetitive.
Well, a low orbit is 18,000 miles per hour. This system wants to use 5000 miles per hour in their test of tech. That still leaves 13,000 miles per hour delta V, plus atmospheric drag will slow it until the rocket fires. Might be good to build this in Bhutan or another place with flat land over 12,000 feet high = far lower drag to launch. This is a test at 5000 = next 10,000 - how far can the strength of materials go when spinning at these rates?
And if they can do both, spin at 10,000 mph+ as well as launch from Bhutan/Hawaii/Chile - it is worth exploring.
I'm genuinely curious what you're having delivered by the half-ton to your home? The only things I can think of would be a safe, or maybe gym equipment.
The problem would be that the platform serving the music (and making recommendations of what to listen to) has a strong incentive to promote their own brand, creating a competitive disadvantage for "real" musicians on the same platform.

This is the music equivalent of Amazon Basics. If Spotify really is creating fake artists to avoid paying real artists, it's the same kind of monopolistic vertical integration as Amazon manufacturing their own products to avoid paying third-party sellers.

I’ve done a bit of consulting in this space. It really depends on the union. Some are stuck in the 90s but some are doing all the fancy modern stuff you’d expect. And yes, there are SaaS tools aimed at the union market that charge per member monthly fees.
This feels like a thing that should be introduced default-off, allowing users to opt in to it first, and once it's been in place update the default, rather than break things suddenly when updating without being able to share a git config between systems which don't upgrade simultaneously.

I started in Sony Vegas back around the turn of the century and share your enjoyment of the standardized UI paradigms of professional software. It's great to be able to pick ups something like Davinci Resolve and just know what I can do and find the 10 keyboard shortcuts I want and then get to work, just because I learned Ae and Premiere a decade and a half ago.

I also share your frustration with iMovie and garageband... I can't get a damn thing done in GB and I've tried several times.

It's like the CLI: I already know exactly what I want to do, and I have an understanding of how the computer is going to deal with it. These apps feel like trying to drive a car with an iPhone app.

However, I work with a lot of non-professionals and they love these tools. So more power to them. I remember using logic back when I started 20-something years ago and had no idea baout how MIDI worked. I remember being able to actually have fun getting things done in fruity loops or rebirth. I'm glad there are tools out there which are nerf'd up for the beginners.
This doesn't surprise me. It's a fork, nobody bothered to update the readme, and as much as folks wanted to update things like documentation, improving the software was a higher priority.

That's a good point. 3090 RTX may be 1.5x faster than my Titan V, but Titan V consumes 2x less energy on the same load while being much older generation card.
I disagree with this:

> But even putting aside the fact that claiming someone else's writing as one's own is wrong, the value in survey papers is in how they re-frame the field. A survey paper that just copies directly from the prior paper hasn't contributed anything new to the field that couldn't be obtained from a list of references.

Whether or not a survey paper is "good" is irrelevant here. Yes, a survey paper that just lists others papers may be a bad survey paper, but it does nothing wrong as long as it cites the original papers, which this does. A bad survey paper may not be published in a journal, that's what peer review is for, but there is nothing wrong with publishing it openly on the web.

And there is still value in aggregating other papers, even if it's just a list with description. That's the reason why these "awesome-XX" Github repos are so popular. Time to hunt them down?
Your premise is just false. People are solving some boring problems, but there are also tons of exciting ones: AI, reusable rockets, life extension projects, fusion projects, VR / AR, genetics research that will feed the world.

Wait you’re not going to tell us what movies these were? Also I assume in the first example they were kidding? Or the director was dead?
I believe in the idea of Avalonia, that does all the rendering itself rather than deferring it to native controls.
Seriously. FB chose to open source these things. They could have kept them private but wanted to give back where they could.

IMO that should be celebrated, not shitting on fb for their poor track record of going out of their way to open their source code to the public.

> Spend more time with different people from different backgrounds. This sentence is the result of being alienated from your fellow human beings and honestly sad to hear. Realize that we’re all the same.

This is a very kind, very real statement right up until the moment that people realize that I can spend far more than they can. At which point I frequently become, in their opinion, either an asshole or a mark. I don't think I'm better than the guy who regularly waits my table at a favorite local restaurant - in fact, he works at least as hard as I do, has a great personality, and is always pleasant with us, and he gets GREAT tips (and not just from me). But I've seen a lot of people try to fuck me over just because I have more than they do. Not like a 20% markup. Try 200%. And labor on top.

Lucky for me, I've cultivated good relationships with solidly blue-collar folks over the years. I could tell them that I wanted XYZ done, and I wasn't particular as long as it happened in the next few years. So when their business went slack, and they needed the money, they had a job for more or less as long as they needed to pay the bills. I get a little price break, they get a steady income. And when I need to pay them, I'm happy to do it in cash. Maybe they report it, maybe they don't, not my concern but the one great thing about cash is that you never have to worry if my check will clear (yes, this is a very US-centric problem).
No, they definitely do not. Foreign relations is a federal responsibility, as laid out in the constitution.

I was not planning to respond more in this thread, but you are trying to not argue with me, but rather being constructive, which I appreciate.

Facebook originally started as a social network where I could see my friends' lives, babies, family life, puppies, and it was awesome and interesting, as it's something that I could talk with them about.

The problem with looking at friends' lives from Facebook's point of view is that it's not as addictive, and ads don't integrate naturally.

I loved the book, ,,Chaos Monkeys'', as it explained how impossible it was to monetize the huge active Facebook userbase in the early days, while users were prioritized and making money was just a secondary afterthought that Mark didn't care about.

It turns out that making assymetric relations, where some people/content creators have tens of thousands of followers and hundreds of thousands of views, and not usually friends with (except the case you are talking about) are much more addictive for people, and much easier to monetize as well. At this point though social media gets more media than social, and gets the same problems that other type of media had: creating unhealthy expectation for people whose brains don't really distinguish between what they see there and real life.

Your $400 number is grossly misleading. Union dues are usually a percentage of their wage and vary considerably between low paying jobs and the higher paying jobs unions claim they promote.

Do you mean "this influx of goods that were ordered by American companies for sale to Americans"? Because that's the impact of this action.
It’s fascinating how many people feel that this is a specifically powerful breakthrough toward AGI, I suppose because it seems creative. Don’t get me wrong, this is extremely cool! But art and composition are “pattern languages” that seem well-suited to our current ML techniques given sufficient investment in training. To me this feels more like progress toward the Star Trek computer, which we can interact with in basically natural language, and which can do sophisticated knowledge operations for us (from natural language instructions), but which still doesn’t “think” in a meaningful way.

Now, when Dall-E 5 starts to argue with you about which art style looks best or will be most marketable…

It started in the 80s. Deregulation of certain types of trucking allowed for unions to be broken by shifting employment to “right to work” states.

There’s different types of regulation. The in-state truckers in labor friendly states get a decent deal.
Beautiful. Bonus points for also being a counter.
> You misunderstand my point, and possibly the discussion.

I'm not sure what that adds to your post besides to antagonize. I'd respectfully suggest rethinking that as an opener on future comments.

I don't disagree with most of your post, and I don't think you seem to disagree with mine, preface aside. Yes, it's still difficult, but I think there is a world of difference between being under physical duress versus being very inconvenienced. Keeping the analogy, it's very inconvenient to change even a normal job, and we are held hostage with things like healthcare. That's fief like too. Scale matters.
Putin knows the history of starvation in Russia so is stockpiling wheat and other food stores to counter the sanctions. You're right that it may not be Russians, it's likely that Middle Eastern and African countries will be the ones that feel the brunt of this.
“Potential” is a very vague concept. Employers will certainly care that you improve your productivity, and the quality of what you do / how to communicate, etc.

Now when you say “maximum potential”, it sort of implies that you mena “outgrow your responsibilities”, and no that’s not very helpful for employers, especially since it will help seek another position.
Indeed. Granting a one group small ownership stake swings some of their allegiances towards ownership and away from labour. I would ask myself what cost that small slice of ownership you’ve been granted (play on words intended) comes at to the people around you. To me it doesn’t seem very different from buying off union leaders. Are you that easily bought?

I.e. maybe supporting unions leads to a smaller gap between your tech salary, and a warehouse worker. That’s still going to benefit you, in that the people around you are less desperate, and have more energy to put into their communities, etc.
Why wouldn’t they be?

It’s a stunt by the Texas state government, just like the activation and fleecing of Texas National Guardsmen on low paying state duty doing a whole lot of nothing.

Generally, no. "... and [the United States] shall protect each of them [the States] against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence." This plus the 10th amendment makes the division of responsibility (and authority) pretty clear.

If the federal government is doing a poor job, the remedy is to vote the bastards out, not subsume a federal obligation. This was made even clearer after the Civil War, because States had attempted to use such authority to disregard federal law regarding anti-foreign-competition tariffs.

This flared up my nostalgia when I remembered ripping CDs I bought from Graywhale into .wav files and encoding them into mp3s on my windows 95 machine in the mid to late 90s. BladeEnc was amazing and fast. It would sometimes encode up to 1x! Meaning it only took about a minute to encode a 60 second .wav into an .mp3. Nowadays I can encode 32 10-minute wav files in like 2 seconds on my Ryzen 5950x.
