Most start off as a pretty positive experience, which is what makes them so popular! But once they've got that network effect going, people become disinclined to leave, even as the platforms try to monetize and in the process turn into finely-tuned human manipulation platforms.

If a platform like WT Social could gain traction it might work as a sustainable alternative because it lacks that desperate drive to squeeze cash out of people's brains. Currently I'm really enjoying BeReal, but I know it's a matter of time until their fun and playful mechanics turn dark.
How is that possible? The builtin QuickTime Player on a Mac can play .mid files already and if they have GarageBand, a free (as in beer) download from Apple they can choose an instrument to play that .mid file. I love .mid files.
Journalist follows an employee through a gate and later glass door. Reception desk doesn't know what to do with him and security approaches him. Apparently usually large company takes a journalist's business card or have some procedure how to deal with journalists in place. In any case he was sent off. "Less than two minutes after entering, I was out." Not sure where the hilarity was or why the story was worth publishing.
Code like this should definitely not be written in production code bases and is really just a fun exercise. I think everyone would agree that if this had been written in 2 or 3 lines it'd be much more readable (and therefore maintainable)

The article is right: Deep work hates interruptions (including everything synchronous)

However, the kind of rigid scheduling it proposes goes against the freedom deep work loves. It is not the lazy/mindless kind of freedom I’m referring to, but the freedom from over-quantified environments : IMO it is counterproductive to aim at always rigidly controlling that "in the zone" experience.
Packing the court with partisans does, in fact, count as court packing. Here's a helpful article: https://www.rutgers.edu/news/what-court-packing

From the article:

"People often use "court packing" to describe changes to the size of the Supreme Court, but it's better understood as any effort to manipulate the Court's membership for partisan ends. A political party that's engaged in court packing will usually violate norms that govern who is appointed (e.g., only appoint jurists who respect precedent) and how the appointment process works (e.g., no appointments during a presidential election).

"Seen from this perspective, the Barrett appointment is classic court packing. The president nominated a hardline conservative who appears to question major parts of U.S. constitutional law. And the Senate majority changed its procedural rules – invented to deny Merrick Garland a hearing – to ram through the nomination as people were voting."

You siding with the partisan politics of members of a supposedly-neutral court who were put there to make the court partisan, doesn't make it normal.
Is there any post you know of documenting this in more detail? I’d be interested to read more.

As you get used to it, it becomes highly readable. The 'tap' method to see what the elements look like at an intermediary step is also really helpful. I usually build these up left to right as well though and won't add on the next processing step unless I'm very certain there period ones are correct
The most glaring one is that there is no way to encode rests, trills and other common meta data. Obviously, MIDI was meant for performance, not as a binary form to encode sheetmusic. There are some tricky ways in which you can augment MIDI though, for instance through creative use of the text fields.

I literally laughed out loud.

There is a sort of person who, when they find they dislike a work nearly universally lauded by professional readers, writers, and editors, wonder what they missed.

There is another sort of person who, in the same situation, becomes certain that the praises are in error, that those who sing them must be nitwits, and that they are in possession of the objectively true evaluation of the work.

USUALLY I see this trotted out by people who bounce off, say, Faulkner or Joyce, so you're at least interesting for doing it about Tartt. But you're no more correct or insightful for your novel target.
>Why should I invest time/energy/my money/long nights not spent having fun to create something that I won't own, have control over, or profit from?

You get an exclusive monopoly and profit for twenty years, that seems long enough. Expecting the gravy train to run for the rest of your life, if not longer, is excessive. And I disagree with the premise that all human creative effort would cease were that to change.

>You want to re-write the rules because 'it doesn't work' makes no sense.

I've been thinking that there oughta be a human-sized cartridge for data in general. Current SD-cards are flimsy, and it's just getting worse. The Minidisc/Gameboy cartridge/MiniCD form factor was something that was tangible but not oversized. It could go in your drawer and not be lost. You could write something informative on it.
Counter-argument: There will be at least one country that does not regulate GPU sales or access in this way, and that's where all of the AI innovation will happen. That country will get a huge lead in the next tech race, with commensurate economic advantages. Many countries will realize this and will compete to be thought leaders rather than aggressively regulate the nascent technology out of existence.

Obviously they are in a HCOL area, but you know whats worse than being underwater on a mortgage where you want to live? Being underwater on a mortgage in the middle of nowhere, where nobody else wants to live. I know plenty that got stuck in small towns in 2008-onwards servicing the debt on their home. Places that only were beneficiaries of broad speculative demand have the steepest price drops there is no real demand.

These are frightening prospects for people that want to play this game.

Does anyone have info on what price early investors got the shares?

Retail launches are always designed to let them cash out with big multiples no matter what the price does.

I remember buying something I thought was “early” for $5 a share and later we learned the real earlies got in for $0.25. I was able to sell somehow at a price of $12 in the mania after it launched, but of course it eventually bled out down to $0.25 and beyond because of the constant selling from the insiders. They were always in profit, what did they care?
I certainly don’t support the idea but I certainly support trying if there is sufficient interest… ideally by the people.

The typeset stuff was invented way before midi tho.

Just that MIDI was really invented for electronic instruments and, well, most of them were notes generated by pressing keys and maybe a modulation bar or joystick. Hell, arguably you still could transfer a lot of those modulations via CC commands but you'd have to standarise on which exact CC change corresponds to what instrument's technique.

That being said MIDI 1.0 clearly has a bunch of pain points (low resolution, no bidi communication making auto-config hard etc.) that are getting fixed in 2.0 but that just slowly started, so 1.0 is there to stay for a long time still.
Synthesizers are musical instruments, which means they have a control part and a sound generating part. Because they are electronic, synthesizers can decouple these to a greater degree than acoustic instruments. That's why you can play any MIDI-controllable synth using a Yamaha EWI (a wind-driven controller) or a touchpad or a capacitative sensing service or a Haaken Continuum or or the pads on an Ableton Live surface or, yes, a MIDI keyboard.

Pianos are a very specific type of instrument in that they have fixed pitches (compared with any non-fretted string instrument, the tuba or the human voice). MIDI has many assumptions built into it that are derived from the way pianos work, which means that using it in contexts where you want the sort of control not possible on a piano is ... challenging. One obvious example is playing something in a way closer to what you can do on a guitar: MIDI has no real way of representing the sorts of control a guitar player has access to. That said, people have tried, and the best systems are quite good, although they tend to subvert MIDI semantics and just use the syntax of the protocol.
For me the unreliability is not a problem because I’m not using ChatGPT to search for information but rather to help me think and solve problems. ChatGPT can make incredibly good questions and can create relationships between concepts that it would take me hours to make on my own. So ChatGPT just become my private coach and a really smart actual assistant.

Counterpoint - tech professional about 20 years out of college. Just bought a house in a nice suburb of NYC and all my neighbors are likewise working professionals. Some are in medicine, some in tech, some in things like construction management and education.

So seems like there is plenty of people for whom working has paid off.

Or to say it another way, who do you think lives in all these houses? Boomers and Russian oligarchs?
Had the same question a year ago, researched quite a few options. Ended up buying used micro server (Fujitsu Primergy 120 S3) for around £30. Then upgraded it with low power 8 core Xeon and slowly maxed out it’s RAM. Currently it runs Proxmox with a dozen of LXC containers, Go/Node.js web apps and static websites using Caddy, mostly for home usage, only a few exposed to the internet using free Cloudflared tunnels. It also has a few VMs with k8s cluster just for the experiments. Overall I am very happy with this small setup, as a frontend developer transitioning into backend development it helped me significantly to improve my skills. I also sleep well as I don’t need to worry about spinning up quite expensive AWS services incorrectly and taking a mortgage after just to cover my learning mistakes. The only downside, though is that now you need to setup backup and pay for the electricity a little bit more than what Raspberry Pi will cost. But it’s still much much less than the price of around 20 VPSs you might buy at Vultr or Digital Ocean per month.

> You should probably re-read Animal Farm which is notable work from a notable socialist

...about how Leninism and related systems, despite superficial rhetoric borrowed from socialism, were not socialism, and looped back around to be equivalent to the capitalism that socialists oppose. (And, more broadly, about how people in practice could continue to maintain faith in those and other systems in which the nominal ideals of a revolution were utterly betrayed by revolutionary leadership.)
I don’t work in web development (and didn’t then, either), so this may vary from what others are saying. What I experienced was that there was a downturn in 2001. I was working for myself and had a contract with a Fortune 50 company. They kept us on for about 6 more months after 9/11, then let all of the contractors go. But I had other irons in the fire, so it was fine for a while.

It really hit hard about 2 years later in 2003, when all non-web contract work dried up and clients started having trouble paying for work you’d already done. That was really brutal for me, personally. I was also selling some software in addition to doing the contracting. I got really lucky and someone saw my products and wanted to license them for their particular niche. I was just barely able to hang on until a year later when things mostly returned to normal.

If it hadn’t worked out, I probably could have taken a job doing some development work I hated if I really had to. There were still openings, but they were at places like Accenture, or whatever a small-time version of them would be.

Can MIDI 2.0 provide more resolution?

Yes, MIDI 1.0 messages are usually 7 bit (14 bit is possible by not widely implemented because there are only 128 CC messages). In MIDI 2.0 velocity is 16 bit. The 128 Control Change messages, 16,384 Registered Controllers, 16,384 Assignable Controllers, Poly and Channel Pressure, and Pitch Bend are all 32 bit resolution.
Potassco is a wonderful collection of software. I have used clingo recently to prototype some puzzle ideas that I had. After encoding the rules in ASP I could quickly produce a single model through clingo to see if the puzzle design was feasible or not. (I also decided to use clingo to enumerate the solution space, but it turned out to be much bigger than I anticipated and after ten days I terminated the process with just shy of a billion solutions found...)

Since then I have been dreaming of using it to actually power puzzle software, where a single logic program could be used for both puzzle generation and validation. But that's not even the only "power couple" I can think of with respect to clingo/ASP integration. There are a number of hard problems that benefit from the declarative approach and could leverage the power and speed of a solver like clingo. And with libclingo this is now a feasible option to transform your problem into an ASP program, call clingo, then transform the answer set into your solution.

That's a nice technical accomplishment (and probably it was very hard to get it to this stage). It makes me wonder if you had had Gould on a Yamaha Disklavier and recorded the MIDI stream how the two would compare.

I recently experienced the mother of all memory leaks relating to pm2. The daemon's heap usage was fine but the memory was not being released back to the system resulting in the heap about 15mb while the process was squatting on around 250+GB of RAM. Turned out switching the daemon processes to jemalloc fixed the leak.

I figure the more node programs using jemalloc the better so I asked ChatGPT to help me create an npm package to easily identify if, and where, jemalloc is installed on a machine.

ChatGPT did almost all of the work in the initial commit, including the readme & picking the name for the package.

Subsequent commits were by me fixing small bugs here and there. All in all, I'm very impressed with the technology.
