Exactly, truly appreciating art, or an artist requires coming across one or more pieces that really resonate with you (which is really a function of what's going on in your life, state of mind, mood, sensitivity, and general ability to engage with art, and in some cases understanding its historical context, within the art community and in the broader world).

Once that happens though it opens the door to appreciating other pieces.

I have experienced that same phenomenon with bands, where people say "X" is great and I hear a song and don't "get it" until I find some other song by them years later and it all sort of "clicks" in a way it originally didn't.

With that said, there are definitely people that try to say "I like X" to fit in. I just don't know about the 50% bit in the OP, but then again, 90% of statistics are made up.

BTW -- The Old Guitarist is on permanent display at the Art Institute of Chicago. It is wonderful in person if you haven't been yet.
There's a breakthrough that I've been waiting for that I haven't heard anything about: when will an AI agent (probably a language model) discover something scientific that humans had not at the time it was trained. What if there was a math proof, physics interaction, ... that emerged from the model's approximation of our world?

Right now, the state of the art AlphaZero models can destroy humans at Go. But what if the machine learning models could teach us things about how Go works that humans have not yet discovered.
Yeah Apple's network link conditioner is great for this. If you don't want to send video but the organizer insists, just tune it down to the point your audio goes roboty. They'll be begging you to turn off video to improve the connection :D
> Why isn't enough to just say you don't like it? That's fine. You don't have to. What is tiring here, to me, is all of the completely idle and evidence-free speculation about why other people merely "say" that they like it.

Imagine every once in a while there's the same man screaming on a busy street you frequent. Most people around you watch and comment on the beauty of the man and his actions.

After a while of ignoring it and moving on with your day, you eventually have to stop and say "what the fuck are you all talking about?"

Everyone looks at you like you're crazy.

"You know, that man was a child prodigy. He mastered classic singing styles and is now showing off his abstract work"

"You don't have to get it. I find it powerful."

"Art is art. It's playful. He's expressing his emotions. Not everything has to fit in the lines."

The man continues to scream. You comment, "My 5 year old does this every day. Why is this special?" You're desperately looking for answers. Maybe there's something you're missing.

"I doubt your 5 year old could scream like this."

"There are millions of 5 year olds. Only one of Him."

The man continues to scream.

I mean, theoretically it's possible to set up a cross-compilation environment (which would require mirroring basically the entire /usr of the BBB) and copy over compiled files for running / debugging. But it's only worth it if compiling takes a long time (or I suppose if you were to use templaty C++ or rust or something, you may not have enough memory on the BBB to actually compile things... but maybe don't do that?).
Yeah, it's a newsfeed timesink. It's just gotten better as the feed has improved.
Hum... You know you don't need to program on the same platform that your game will run, right? (I still don't know what you mean by "graphics", since it's not games.)

Picasso's paintings are, to me, very emotionally expressive. That (again, to me) is more important than how "realistic" a painting is.

I've seen a bazillion highly realistic paintings that are so emotionally flat. The technique in them can be impressive, but otherwise they tend to be both unimaginative and emotionally hollow.

Even more extreme than Picasso in the "it takes no skill to make this" (apprently) but conveying real feeling is Jackson Pollock.

Lots of people will look at Picasso and Pollock and say "my 5 year old kid could do this" -- and there's something to that, as children's art tends to be more fresh and expressive than art made by trained adults -- but kids don't do either (unless they've seen and try to emulate Picasso or Pollock). Neither do adults.

It took Picasso and Pollock to come up with art like that. Same with Malevich's Black Square and Duchamp's Fountain, which are also about as simple as art gets, but things like that weren't considered art before, and it took these artists to make us look at the world in a different way and stretch the boundary of what art could be.

John Cage's work with randomness in music is yet another good example. His compositions could sound awful or boring, and I personally don't like them -- but why must music be something that we like? Can't we appreciate and value music that isn't pleasing?

The paintings of Francis Bacon and Goya are similar -- pretty "ugly" stuff.. but to me they speak the truth about the ugly/horrible side of life that is valuable to look at.

At their best, such artists open our eyes and ears to the world around us and let us see it in a fresh way that we might not have appreciated before.
Suggestions could be many and varied. It's the overall picture, combined out of many arguments, that usually counts in the end.
Yeah, this came up when I was looking around. I'd call it a case of not diving in fully. Since it is really just a rebrand of a phone from some other company (albeit one for which they provided the optics).
> current widespread destruction of the environment

Have a look at the early industrial period or even the 1970s, and then have a look out the window again. There's a bit of a [citation needed] on that claim.

you could create a bash function that echo's out the aliases, or perhaps feed it
a keyword and it greps the commands and only gives you the ones you need.

something like:

fgit(){
fgcommands = "git commit...\n,git rebase...\n"
# you want one per line, so I'm not perfect at bash, w/out looking up how to do it I think you could cat it into the commands.
if [ -z $1 ]; then
echo "$fgcommands"
# returns all commands
else
echo "$fgcommands" | grep commit"
# returns all commands with commit in.
fi
}

You could even have more fun w/ it by creating some script that maybe remaps all your git commands so whenever you manually do git commit <flags> -- it'd run the command then also convert your command to a string, and run each word matching like commit, rebase, etc through fgit, and create some sort of "you could've done this instead"... I'd love if zsh had more things like that, but I only recently switched to zsh and oh-my-zsh is it so much better.

Think of this like in vscode when you use the command search, and it shows the keybindings next to it, so you can learn to do it better...

This is good to know. It could also be that people with large phones underestimate how much they'd be able to adjust to smaller phones.
Litestream still only does single-master, right? To me it feels like the next step up would be something like foundationdb (true multi-master) with a good psql layer.
I guess my core question is: do they keep the cash in the house, or do they use cash just as a vehicle for the purchase, and then finance the cash out of it?

Because there was a concurrent trend to refinance houses at 2% loans and put the cash in the stock market, which is assumed to beat that 2% over the duration of the loan.

This is really important to call out. There have been a lot of really bad practices in the past that try to reduce "developer productivity" to something that approximates a widget factory, and the results have been awful for both developers and companies. This feeds right into the last section of the post, "If we don't talk about developer productivity, someone else will"—we need more developer voices advocating for the creative spark of building software.
Raft is the secret sauce behind many distributed databases, like CockroachDB, TiDB, Yugabyte, etc..

But to make it scalable and production grade, you have to run multiple Raft operations in parallel and manage them well. E.g., sharding them correctly to make the load balanced and adjusting dynamically.

They don't have to. The problem is that they said to investors repeatedly, "Sales are up due to increase in gaming demand", when they actually knew that a signficant portion of the increase was due to cryptomining.

So what the SEC is fining them for is lying to investors. If nvidia didn't know how much of their sales were to cryptomining, then there would be no fine. If they did know, and did share that in their reports, there would be no fine.
How about this:

A while ago I was trying to find a way to make my terminal scroll back up after a command executed, so that if the output was long I could read it from the top without having to scroll up manually. There are ways to get yours shell to print something after the command executes, so I just needed to find an ansi escape sequence that would scroll up. Unfortunately I didn't see any sequences that do this. Anyone have any ideas?

Not really true. It's often editing + lighting that really has the strongest effect.

probably because eric has a history of pd from a customer frustration pov whereas your well articulated explanation mainly represents manufacturers' pov.

btw, such kind of math-checks-out logic is what keeps someone from developing the iphone in 2004. everything about mobile then made sense...to carriers and manufacturers.
There’s also YugabyteDB which is actual Postgres with distributed flex. It even supports regular Postgres extensions. Anything in golang imitating Postgres will be subpar for years to come.

YugabyteDB splits tables into tablets (partitions), every tablet has its own raft. It’s a modified rocksdb under the hood.

OTOH, it’s cool to see how someone builds something like this from scratch and is willing to talk about it.

I use it for the chroma keying in VC software that doesn't support it, like Meet (which has a machine learning system that tries to identify the background).
I often present other windows and using OBS is often more ergonomic than connecting and presenting a second window; I can composite a transparent version of my head over what i'm presenting. Or present my whole screen, etc. Basically, twitch streaming for video games and other stuff changed how I do VC.
And GitHub, if you really want to.
You're the first person I've ever heard of that doesn't see the resemblance there.
I think GP is pointing out that the ability to command a following or convince people to follow in your footsteps does not a genius make.

Brenton Harrison Tarrant commands a following and influenced a lot of copycats (his most recent disciple being the perpetrator of a certain shooting in Buffalo). So... can we categorize Tarrant as a genius purely on his influence of [others] that follow him?
This seems to suggests that data hoarders mainly derive their satisfaction from actually filling up a hard drive. For me, the satisfaction is from having instant access to organized libraries of music and video of generally far higher fidelity than you can stream with current technology. There are currently no streaming services that can stream UHD 4k movies at a quality that is close to even a normal 1080p blu ray never mind an actual UHD blu ray. I'm very into film and the difference in video and sound quality, which most people will not notice or care about, is pretty significant to me. An uncompressed BR rip is 30-100 GB so even a fairly curated library can quickly outgrow drive space that most people couldn't fathom a sane person using.

I have probably filled at least 60TB of drives in the past year alone since my ISP has been ignoring data caps, and that is besides the large amount that IS deleted, as I do not archive anything that's been lossily compressed after being ripped unless a higher quality version does not publicly exist.

I "hoard" TOSEC libraries for every conceivable console and consumer computer system from ~1970 up to the PS3, but don't archive PC games past the DOS era, because Steam exists as a better service than I can provide for myself, so I use that. There is no equivalent service for music or film or Amiga games.
Ah OK that makes sense, thanks for taking the time to explain!
Because Rembrandt is awesome.

> Why would a genius deny themselves the license to be original?

Because originality as a virtue is a fairly recent concept (post-WW1, after disintegration of the bourgeois order). Some artists reject that premise.

Can't wait for a future with more Rembrandts, it's something I'd totally buy.
You've illustrated the point. If you say "I don't like it" and move on or "What do you like about it?" then we have a mature discussion and everyone is content.

If you get aggressive and say "what the fuck are you all talking about" and act like you're superior and noticing the emperor has no clothes, then you're being an asshole and no one will want to give you any respect.

Why not both? Look out for yourself but also try to help others?

I honestly think tech workers for all the big companies will be unionized in the next decade. There is already a perfect model out there: The screen actors guild. That union sets minimum rules around pay, safety, overtime, residuals, and so on, but still allows for "superstars" to make far more.

That's the kind of union developers need. One that specifies some minimums that companies must follow (like protecting after hours disconnection and making sure all the workers get a piece of the success) but still allows people to make more and get better benefits.
It is their job not to mislead investors about how their products are used.

Work to rule only works if everyone does it, so that they can't single anyone out. If only people who can afford it do it, then it doesn't do anything at all.
I had the same problem. Probably only 10% of our users were actually devs and they contributed 99.9% of all changes. The other 90% were people reading pages, entering issues, commenting on stuff.

I couldn’t justify paying the same per seat for an every day developer vs someone who might log in once a year (or never).

They should have concurrent users or something for the PM/analyst/browser. Paying for named seats is too much.
I didn't have good luck with the included lens for web camming. It's a zoom lens with focus and aperture, which is silly for most video conferencing.

Alternative C- and CS-mount lenses are easy to buy https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Aperture-Compatible-Mirrorless... and will focus near your face and have plenty of light. People will say your background blur is amazing.
This. I would be willing to bet 99.9% of the human population do not have fingers long enough to operate the iphone 13 mini completely onehanded, i.e. reach all 4 corners of the screen without letting the phone slip.

The actual market for a truly one handle-able phone is enormous. It's just not possible to fit modern phone functions into a package that small though.

Who will pay flagship prices for a phone with 3 hours of battery life?
I've done some live streams using OBS, a DSLR and a capture card. Definitely not something I'd want to do for every online meeting. When I need a camera, I use a Logitec C920 webcam. Not as good as a DSLR or mirrorless camera, but it's sufficient and works.

>A lot of people need they job they have to continue, and their boss will fire them for not responding to an email at 9pm.

If you have a boss like that, no amount of regulation or protection is going to help you. They will find a way to manipulate you and get around the rules. That isn't to say there shouldn't be any rules and regulations, but it is to say that this is the point of diminishing returns.
> My main point is that it seems that some artists such as Picasso (and I'll throw in Rothko as well since I saw them mentioned here) are artificially popularized by people trying to seem high class/intelligent.

Rest assured: while such dynamics (artificial boosting of specific artists) do exist, they are a property of the art market, not of the artists or their audience. This isn’t to say that 100% of people who claim to find beauty in $artist actually do so, but there is a reason that an artist either shapes the culture and his peers - or he does not. Picasso and Rothko got big through organic content aggregation - they checked the boxes of their peers, you will have a hard time finding someone versed in the craft who doesn’t appreciate them.
Saying that some of the people who identify as fans of their work actually just look to belong is in no way directly related to the art, it’s an emergent dynamic in any group, so it’s pointless to bring up when the actual art is being discussed - it’s just dismissive of the work and the conversation ends with exhausting fingerpointing and games of groups and identity.

The various motivations behind art, specifically Picasso and Rothko, are free from this exact burden :-)
Don't tell them your phone number then they can't add you to some BS WhatsApp group.

Watch this 10 minutes testimony of Maddie De Garay's mother testifying about her and her daughter's experience in Pfizer's 12-15 year old COVID mRNA treatment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2GKPYzL_JQ

1) The app provided to clinical trial participants was designed to highly limit what side effects/adverse events could be reported - with no area for free-form writing of symptoms. 2) Maddie's mother tried contacting the lead researcher of the clinical trial, the FDA, CDC, etc. during the trial - but they still haven't had a response from any of them.

The clinical trial results were manufactured for this trial.

And now we're seeing in part why as Pfizer was forced to release their data that they wanted to only release 75 years from now.
