Artists gaslight everyone else and say their work has soul so that they can gatekeep "art" saying it can't be replicated by a machine or a modern artist (AI Artist).

However it is not soul it is egoism. The artist spent thousands of hours developing a style to make it seem like they are special. To someone with real intelligence and creativity this level of toil is unbearable and there is no motivation to do it simply to satisfy their ego because a real artist has no ego, they hack around for the fun of it.

In reality , the end product is always just paint on a canvas that has specific patterns and style applied to it and this can be replicated and improved upon by an AI Artist. The machine simply automates away the middle man, pointless egoism and the toil.

???What are you talking about? You really think Mastodon is a fair comparison? And bringing RCS here is also pointless.

To use WhatsApp/Duo/etc, all it takes is a phone number and maybe an email address (or a Google account you already have), and a few minutes of time.

If someone's girlfriend is like "I would rather just use FaceTime and call you 'by phone number', instead of spending that few minutes to set up an account for an app we can both use", I would agree with the person above -- this is too toxic.
I tightly control the amount of context switching I do since you can get derailed by them, for much the same reason. I don't think I have ADHD but I certainly struggle with attention, and that is a strategy I use. Every alt+tab/window switch is an opportunity for me to lose my train of thought.
Do any artists who do it as a paid profession struggle with this? The ones I know are pretty straight forward about it.

The writers and photographers and actors I know who identify as such are either doing it as their profession, or attempting to do so, for money.

I would have thought you only really get into trouble here when you’re using it to try and describe a facet of your identity, and people assume you’re describing your work.
Thank you, that's a very useful summary.
Smalltalk should be a no-brainer then. Arguably one of the simplest languages with merely 6 keywords and immense power. The ecosystem is of course a question.

I think I can understand the journey from Java -> other -> Java, because as you learn more about programming, you become more capable of solving problems properly in a simpler language. But there might be a point, when you get fed up again with writing the same old stuff over and over again, and journey on into languages, which allow you to abstract from syntax, making programming more pleasant. And then maybe back again, for type safety or another reason. It is very understandable to move between those preferences over time, or even have an inner conflict about what one wants to use for ones next project.
i am sorry, i simply can not accept defeat on this issue. i do not have the financial means to buy iphones for all my kids (even old/used ones), so they will have to accept alternatives, and what matters here is to find ways to talk to the kids to understand that what they want is simply not possible in this form.
I wholeheartedly agree: don't say something in the UI and the opposite in the ToS.

I can slightly sympathize that digital media may have different rules than physical, but some are just misleading.
Familiarity can certainly be a stumbling block initially but I found it isn’t always the main problem.

It’s very easy to write code that’s hard to read, because everything nests and composes neatly together.

But a Lisp usually also gives you a lot of tools to structure code very nicely. Such as:

- local bindings to structure code in a LTR fashion

- macros to provide syntactic sugar

- functions are very easily extracted, because everything is an expression

- closures provide context and can be composed and specialized

Points 1 and 3 can be provided as automatic refactorings by a good editor.

So code can be literally an AST dump versus very clear and expressive with a Lisp.
I understand, thank you for the details.
Nice! I adapted my card system from David Lynch I think - he said 70 scenes/cards and you've got a feature length film, something I was deluding myself into thinking I could do at the time.

Tried that for a bit but the films and TV drafts I curled out were never going to be good enough to be worth thinking about. I was just sinking time into them for no viable reward.

That Masterclass service. Very entertaining if you're into the subjects but ultimately another thing I wasted money on trying to find happiness.

It turns out happiness is literally just dopamine. You can get it anywhere. It's the assembly level language of life. Everything else is an abstraction on top of dopamine.

I do wish I could have seen the one I codenamed "Dreadnought". The quick gist humanity has space travel but it is funded by filming the ships as reality TV. Naturally this meant for ratings the upper management would send ships into dangerous situations for the content rather than real need. Such a dumb idea but it was the most fleshed out haha. Dreadnought being the ship/show we follow as the audience.

Recycled all the film/TV/story/music/fun cards and got back to work. I don't usually nuke idea categories like that but I can barely feed myself lmao, in what universe am I writing a film or TV show? Timewaster. Pop back down to reality dumbass, give that a go next lifetime.

Kept the system for tech projects though :)

Any time I am doing the idea generation part of a project I'll go through the existing ideas and shake out any new combos first. The system works for sure.

> we don't have a constitutional court system in the US that is required to review bills before they can be enacted as law

Ideally the legislative branch would serve this role by thoughtful application of their deep knowledge of the Constitution. But the incentives seem to drive them to performative displays of religious fervour and ignorance of founding principles.

The Constitutionality question may be moot. I’m not convinced the Supreme Court is any less politically motivated than any other branch of the U.S. government. The quaint vision of a learned dispassionate body is crumbling, if it ever really existed in reality.

Similar worrisome bills are surfacing in FL where bloggers would not be able to write about the governor, the lieutenant governor or state legislators without burdensome registration with the state of FL.
TLDR: if you have a serverless function that runs 24/7 it would have been cheaper to just pay for hosting the equivalent compute in a dedicated server yourself.

Is anybody surprised by this? I can’t say I’ve ever recalled anybody even pretend that serverless is cheaper for that kind of use case, that’s not what it’s pitched for.

Seems like 37Signals is going to a lot of effort to discredit cloud-based approaches lately, with some straw man arguments. Is there some backstory as to why that I’ve missed?

It's just a more pleasant and robust experience, especially if you're non-technical and don't know the pitfalls to avoid or how to make the most of your Android device (removing pre-loaded crapware, alternative & better ROMs, which devices/brands to buy, etc).
This is nice.

I wonder if xooglers SREs would be interested in organizing regular surveys. It could be useful for both understanding the market landscape, but also to see patterns in career/personal satisfaction trajectories. Current googlers could find it very useful to know when it is time to move on.
In many cases ART is bs.
But you can't type when the laptop is on a laptop stand.

Then you need an external keyboard, mouse and mousepad. At that point you're not far off from just slapping a monitor on the table instead of a laptop stand.

So he's a writer. All righty then…

What I'm seeing is, he guided the construction of an evocative face, and then told an effective story about it, and THEN put it forth. It looks like he habitually adds 'fictional story' to the blurb.

The guy is a writer. If his stuff is taking off (or was), it's on the strength of his characterization, and that's perfectly legitimate. It might also be taking advantage of a hidden strength of AI: it's only us, it's only a mass-appeal take that much like ChatGPT goes for common knowledge and isn't interested in truth or novelty, and that is a way to hit an artistic mass audience with something they respond to.

The guy's a writer with a reasonably good artist's eye and the ability to see a resonant character, perhaps not a particularly deep one. There's gonna be lots more of this and one thing you'll eventually see is that these folks are as interchangeable as the AI works they produce.

If you don't like him there will be another.

There will also be people using the technology to carve out a more interesting spot for themselves that will NOT hit the mainstream, because they're not pandering half as much. But for every one of them there will be 99 folks with computers and a decent eye, who hit much bigger because their pandering is perfectly sincere. What they like is typical and common, and they'll go for the low hanging tropes and hit it really big by sincerely pursuing unambitious goals with some degree of skill and tenacity.

Worked for JK Rowling.
Yikes. I’m all for people being held accountable for their words and actions, but this is not that.

If an author wants to release a new edition of a book because they themselves have evolved in their thinking, great.

If an author wants to stop publication of the original work, fine.

But a publisher revising a work on behalf of an author is not fine. It’s legal, they own the rights, but it’s not okay.

Hopefully this changes the dynamics of rights agreements for works of art and creators can bar opt rights holders for unilaterally revising a creative work.

This seems more like a legal issue rather than a culture issue.
I’m in Denmark and all the kids in my child’s school class have iPhones, FWIW.
When I was a kid in the 1980s I really wanted to draw comics for a living. I spent ages sat at the family dining room table pouring my heart into little comic strips like the ones in my favorite comic books. I'd try so hard to draw as well as the artists I admired but I could never quite get there. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't match the level of detail, clarity, and expression they did.

When I was older I learned that comic books are drawn on much bigger paper than the comic. Part of the production process is to shrink the drawings to comic book size. Drawing bigger comics is a lot easier. I was trying to draw the comic and mimic the rest of the production process as well.

The same is true for dev work. Constraining yourself to what the end user has is throwing away a ton of benefits from having access to better tools. By all means test your work on a similar machine but don't throw up artificial barriers to doing good work if you don't need to. You're just trying to go straight to the final version. That doesn't work.
Pirates win again.
Physical documents requires you either to send it somehow with the hope that it doesn't get noticed, or personally deliver it assuming you are not getting tracked 24/7, which is a real possibility if you have anything of value for these news organizations. Guarantees provided by E2EE, among other things, do not exist in real life.
But, really, the answer to that question is "no". The illusion simply doesn't work if you have two eyes and depth perception. That's why the 3DS needs to have a stereoscopic screen on top of eye tracking, or why VR headsets have 2 screens.
I already explained, what's better is what fits your needs exactly.

Without knowing your requirements it would be difficult to say.

Say for example your main concern is latency, you only need support for MTU-sized payloads, you want ro guarantee that the TCP connection is always established ahead of time and your requests always follow the same pattern with a few bytes to tweak.

You can easily write something that can do those things much better than curl in a couple of hours.

He was tied up with a stage show at the time, if they could've waited he would've reprised his role. Wouldn't have hurt box office performance if they did given the film was ultimately released at the tail end of Covid.

Those founders who are so comfortable sharing their ups and downs and who desire discourse and advice across the cap table are clearly the ones who are in it to win it.

So comfortable? Maybe. A start up is about leaving your comfort zone, whether you want to or not.

Practical and smart? Absolutely. Aside from adding (experienced) voices to your talent pool, such "marketing" helps with any future needs for more money. Being less transparent and asking for more simply isn't a reasonable expectation.

As a side note, this format reminds me of the comms framework in the book "Smart Brevity."

The weird thing is that the camera body doesn't have much to do with the look. It's the lens and/or filters where you'll get your look. I guess it implies he's also a Nikon lens guy? And of course I'm sure that's half the secret sauce of his prompt engineering: a lot of camera-oriented stuff to lock in a consistent look to his output.
The "research chemical" community on Reddit is fascinating and horrifying. People setting up scientific sounding LLCs to virtual offices and ordering all sorts of not for human consumption chemicals that are variations of Ritalin, alzheimer drugs, and more in the name of cognitive enhancement. It's basically legal pharma abuse without even needing a shady doctor but actually even more risky since these chemicals haven't undergone human trials and these people could well be doing permanent damage.
> Well... yeah? That's adding support for both stacks; just because you farmed it out to a middle-man doesn't mean that it's not there.

Not strictly true. It means that you only have to worry about IPv6 addresses in Layer 7, and you can forget about layers 2 and 3 altogether.

And Layer 7 isn’t a problem for people who should be deploying IPv6 right now because https://ipv6bingo.com/
I admire the technical approach to solving this problem. Though something feels just a bit off about the fact you even have to do this. Especially given this isn’t on the basis of “it’s a better user experience for our readers”, but entirely “Google will rank us better in search results”.
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/_k... lists 50 keywords for Java.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smalltalk#Syntax lists 6 keywords for Smalltalk.

Neither one of them I would consider small or simple, but you are correct, that Java has much fewer than C++ and I would definitely agree, that it is the simpler language.

I didn't get anything of the sort. If it is the second link you posted it just takes me to another old chocolate flakes ad..

Not sure that is an apt usage of subliminal either. Seems very.. liminal. The ads are personalized to you. I guess based on your viewing history you are a dirty tory. Actually on second thought based on your tone probably the other way around. Maybe the dirty tories are targeting people like you (limingly!) as swing voters.

That’s a strange response. Even if people and organisations generally agree with you and your campaign it does not make your campaign their campaign. They likely have other things to do that are more important to them so they do those things.

"If that's not art, I don't know what is"

Duchamp and Warhol would emphatically, EMPHATICALLY agree with you there.

All this is very Warhol. Andy would have loved this. I'm sure some of the surviving Pop artists are trying to think of something cool to do with it. In a way, the coolest Pop thing they can do with it is to sit back and watch literally all the world become artists (in a sense).

Everybody will be an artist for fifteen minutes. Warhol had it all figured out.
Sure. Get rid of marketing and advertising and then we can start to talk about it.
WW3 will likely start over China invading Taiwan or NK invading South Korea, triggering defense pacts in approx 2027.
Right, I don't see this as inferior to traditional photography, just different. Technology is just another tool we can use to produce art, or assist artists in doing so.

Just as electronic music didn't replace instrumental music, or photography didn't replace paintings, we'll also find ways to incorporate AI as another tool that creates different forms of art. They will all have their audiences, and will broaden our senses in different ways.

The current problem is that we can't distinguish AI-generated/assisted works from others, but eventually we'll find ways to do that too.

Judging by your username, I'm not so sure... :-P Quick check: are you alive?
At least for me there's more to it. A green bubble means I have no way to know whether the message was delivered or was swallowed/mangled in transit. There's no guarantee on delivery time - I trust iMessage to be near-instant because it goes over IP - I don't trust the duct tape and garbage that handles SMS delivery especially across carriers.

Agreed that iMessage needs to be open, but let's not pretend like SMS is a fine replacement for it - it's not.
Reminds me of trying to take pictures of CRTs with a smartphone camera, setting the shutter speed to 1/60 of a second to capture (just about) a single frame's worth of exposure even if the camera shutter and CRT scanline aren't lined up. I didn't know that mechanical rolling shutters accelerated along the path, rather than sweeping linearly across the image.
depending on what you want, you can actually get images that are pretty nice.

I get all kinds of obvious spammy/dodgy emails in my gmail these days. Maybe one a week or something. Ones where you can't believe it didn't go in the spam folder automatically! Never got any before the last couple of years. I've seen the problem mentioned frequently on here in the last couple of years. Something evidently went very wrong with the gmail spam filter, and was never fixed. Yours is a slightly different issue, but I wouldn't be surprised at anything not being filtered out anymore.
Yep. That about sums it up, but to be fair compensation standards have changed quite a bit in 20 years. I didn’t see that one coming for sure or I would’ve stayed in the trenches.
That's the point. Suggested setup (editor with JS/TS language server constantly checking your code) means you will know about every problem that would possibly break something, you just don't need separate "source code" producing "build package". It means you can ship your code directly to target platform that only understands JavaScript.

AFAIK that's not what you currently can do with TypeScript (except Deno).
