Even music without lyrics is distracting to me, but lyrics (if in a language I understand) definitely make it much worse.

Oddly enough, non-musical sounds (like birds or cars) don't affect me at all. I think it's the complex pattern-matching in music that is a problem for me. Of course, that's also what makes it so delightful to listen to.

Why would I go see a jazz band made of 20something year olds when I can just go into youtube and hear all the masters in the comfort of my bedroom?

Oh, maybe because watching live music is a different experience. Maybe because being the best is not as important as simply doing something most people can't do.

Funny thing is, when you go to shows of people who are not yet professional musicians but might be studying, might be in a band with their friends and so on... most of the people who attend these shows are their friends and also other musicians. Most musicians are not professional musicians.

There's a similar point to be made about simulation. When philosophers suggest we might live in a a simulation I always wonder where the simulation would be running such that all this detail could be coherently generated.
It's a shortcut because it's an alternative (and faster) way to access a functionality. There's no other way to get the letter C than to press the C key on your keyboard, therefore it's not a shortcut. Saying that using the function key to access the arrow key is indeed not a shortcut, chord or combo would be more appropriate, but your "Ctrl + C" example was a bad one to take.

I spent some time trying to chase down an actual source. The most common source given is Irvin D. Yalom but he references the notion to "A Green Tree in Gedde" by Alan Sharpe. I don't see evidence for the various claims that it's a Jewish proverb, has an Egyptian source or a Marcus Aurelius quote. Overall I think the idea of "living on in the memories of others" is pretty persistent and cross-cultural with a number of related phrasings.

Irvin D. Yalom - Staring at the Sun (2011)

> I have let go of the wish, the hope, that I myself, my image, will persist in any tangible form. Certainly there will come a time when the last living person who has ever known me dies. Decades ago, I read in Alan Sharp’s novel A Green Tree in Gedde a description of a country cemetery with two sections: the “remembered dead” and the “truly dead.” The graves of the remembered dead are tended and adorned with flowers, whereas the graves of the truly dead were forgotten; they were flowerless, weed infested, with tombstones askew and eroded.

Alan Sharpe - A Green Tree in Gedde (1965)

But when at last the threads of memory rot and the
rememberers themselves are tombed, then the liberated
dead move in silent flit to the old open field of the truly
buried, and there in sight of the living they relax and at last
rest.

Earliest related phrasing I can see is Shakespeare Sonnet 17, but it's more about living twice rather than dying twice:

Who will believe my verse in time to come
If it were filled with your most high deserts?
Though yet, heaven knows, it is but as a tomb
Which hides your life and shows not half your parts.
If I could write the beauty of your eyes
And in fresh numbers number all your graces,
The age to come would say “This poet lies;
Such heavenly touches ne’er touched earthly faces.”
So should my papers, yellowed with their age,
Be scorned, like old men of less truth than tongue,
And your true rights be termed a poet’s rage
And stretchèd meter of an antique song.
But were some child of yours alive that time,
You should live twice—in it and in my rhyme.
I don't think so, unless you allow them to (like in telegram). Should be available in Signal in early 2024.

I think there are two kind of AI uses.

I as an artist can come up with an idea want to archive and then use AI tools to reach it or an artist is completely cut out of the loop.

I don't believe that the later can be called an art or even a creation. It is just a patterned noise and more of it is produced the more noisy our environment becomes.

I got around to looking at your final link re "Divinity of Christ". Is this author (or indeed CS Lewis) what you would refer to as one of the stronger professors of Christianity? Lewis's trilemma argument is one of the starkest examples of Christian apologists' failure to perform disinterested reasoning.

Firstly, "liar, lord or lunatic" are not the only options. William Lane Craig suggests several plausible alternatives such as "Jesus was deluded with respect to the specific issue of his own divinity while his faculties of moral reasoning remained intact".

Secondly, Jesus never claimed to be divine in the first place. The earlier gospels and the writings of Paul do not mention it. It's not until decades later that the Gospel of John talks about it.

Thirdly, even if those were the options and Jesus did claim to be divine, the evidence for "lord" is lacking. Especially considering the rule that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Human culture is rife with examples of narcissists, psychopaths and tricksters who convinced large numbers of people of their wisdom, compassion and intelligence. Some of them get "found out", some do not. Jesus may be one of the latter. Reading the gospels hasn't convinced me otherwise. Ironically, Peter Kreefts argues exactly by appealing to feelings: "The savviness, the canniness, the human wisdom, the attractiveness of Jesus emerge from the Gospels with unavoidable force to any but the most hardened and prejudiced reader."
Indeed, actually owning land rather than leasing perhaps should not be a right of private entities at all.

But a place to live is obviously a requirement of existence, and therefore must be a right.

As for 'own money' etc, it isn't god-given out of thin air, but results from our current system of organizing work and distributing rewards. Some would say that system is unfair, even rigged.

Is the old Air still the best option in this space, or have other manufacturers stepped up in recent years?

Last time I looked (a few years ago) the Air was far and away the best performer.
Simple solution: consider the universal a priori probability of monster X as the negative exponentially weighted size of the minimum length Turing machine necessary to describe the monster, normalized against all other possible monsters Y, Z, etc. (if the monster isn’t describable by a computable process, we can’t change our behavior with regard to it so we’re screwed either way.)

Then, consider a “reward program” that takes as input the computable description of a monster and returns the afterlife reward as a function of worship time. (There is some nuance here; should reward be defined as negative aggregate suffering? Median pleasure over afterlife duration? Do we include other people’s suffering in exchange for our own? Different debate.)

At this point, you consider all possible divisions of finite worship time among the infinite set of monsters whose descriptions are partial recursive functions and compute the probability distribution of reward for each configuration using the universal a priori probabilities of monster existence (while taking into account second order effects, e.g. monster A reduces reward for time spent worshiping monster B). From here, you specify a minimum threshold of acceptable reward and select the configuration of worship time that corresponds to the highest probability of achieving that threshold.

I work in security, and get to interact with a lot of area tech lead and architect types (L7-L9 in FAANG terms). I have found that the people who most concern themselves with “proper design” are generally about 5-10 years into their career and trying to prevent juniors from shooting themselves in the foot, but don’t yet have a proper appreciation for the cost of complexity and how code changes over the long run. Conversely, after you’ve been doing this for 20+ years you learn to value simplicity over most other technical factors.

Questions like “how early do we branch” and “what is the actual job this has to do” end up being the ones whose answers tend to have the most long-term value. Questions about abstractions and encapsulation tend to lead to the type of argument you describe. And the “the big picture” people are the ones with the most security issues in their code, because they don’t really understand what the properly architected codebase is really doing.

> Let it passively listen to the same sounds and speech as a baby hears in its first five years, over five years of operation.

First of all, a baby does not passively listen. It sees and touches and smells and feels, and moves and makes sounds, and observes reactions, and correlates all that with the sounds it hears.

Secondly, with the above in mind, why on Earth would you expect it to "do absolutely nothing of any use"? It feels obvious it'll start honing in on language, with even better grounding (but worse performance) than a LLM. And I fully expect there to be a to merge such model with an LLM, the same way people combine LLMs with image generators.

Writing generally "reusable code", aka a library, warrants a different approach to software development than application code in many areas.

1. Application code = Fast-changing, poorly specified code. You need to have a rapid development cycle that supports "discovering" what the customer wants along the way. Your #1 job is pleasing the customer, as quickly, and as reliably, as possible.

2. Library code = Slow-changing, highly specified code. You have a long, conservative development cycle. Your #1 job is supporting application programmers (the customers of your library).
Maybe more importantly, why are some religious people as fanatic as sports hooligans?
Don't worry, in 5 years it will just be another layer in the JS dev stack, so then not only the version of npm, dependencies, docker, and 3 API keys have to match but you'll also need the correct commit of the 20GB LLM so the build doesn't fail. All for the sake of simplicity and increased productivity, of course.
This is a good little example of why complexity is such a plague in software: every feature or capability has a constituent somewhere.

Simplicity, while it has massive value, has no constituents. Nobody weeps for it.

Honestly at 16 even if a child reached this skill level it means they typically sacrificed other aspects of there life to reach it. Realistically less than 0.1% of children reach this route and from I've seen it's due to "encouragement" by their parents. I've seen a wide range of people children who had have "gone" far. Kids who finished their PhDs by the age of 16. It's almost always child abuse. There parents don't necessarily hit them. But they "encourage" them by forcing them down a path because it's "good" for them. If you're thinking of going this route, don't. The professors I've talked to kind of just see this as abuse and they will not help these children.
Show HN: Share local Docker Compose apps for real-time reviews
Hey everyone! I'm Zevi and I'm sharing a new Docker-for-Desktop Extension that my team built to help dev teams collaborate and review changes faster.

Usually it takes a long time for developers to get their changes reviewed since they need to wait for CI builds or staging environments to share their work with the rest of the team. We built this Docker extension to solve that problem. Developers avoid the delays by creating a secure, shareable tunnel to their local environment as soon as their code is ready to be reviewed. Ongoing code changes are also available in real time, without needing to push and build the code again. We also have built-in collaboration tools so the reviewers can leave specific feedback, in context.
We've launched the Extension in the Docker Marketplace so that dev teams using Compose can collaborate better while building multi-service apps.

We'd be thrilled if you would try it and give us feedback :-)

> I have hard time believing that you can learn quicker playing chess against AI.

I’d be more inclined to agree if everyone learned the same way, but we don’t. What works for you may not work as well for others.

For me and music, for example, I learn best by hearing and playing by ear. If I want to learn a song, it’s usually a good bit of time with me playing and rewinding, pausing, playing, pausing, rewinding, etc. I can read sheet music, but the process is woefully slow and not fun for my brain. I could watch someone teach me each part, but that also sounds boring, and I feel I learn better through my own method of trial and error because my brain has to work out the nuances - “was that a hammer-on? Was there a slide transition there? That sounds like a permutation of an earlier chord instead of a direct reuse of it! Etc”

Being able to play against AI may be just as valuable for person A to learn as playing against a human would be for person B. To suggest one is strictly superior to the other, in all cases, is very black and white thinking that doesn’t fit how people work.
Artificial intelligence guzzles billions of liters of water
I don't think I agree with that. "A for effort"? Who cares if someone spent time on something, if the result isn't good? They wasted their time, which is their problem; but they shouldn't waste mine as well to compensate for that.

There are even artists who don't actually make anything: they formulate an idea and then commission craftsmen to produce what they imagined. While the resulting oeuvre involves some degree of effort by someone, that someone isn't the artist themselves; this is quite similar to AI.

Now, there's something to be said for scarcity. If producing something becomes so easy that anyone can output anything, then sure it may become a problem.

Yet the history of the arts is in many ways a history of explosion, and the number of things produced did not kill art. Often, it invented new art forms.

Baudelaire had this to say about photography in 1865:

> As the photographic industry was the refuge of every would-be painter, every painter too ill-endowed or too lazy to complete his studies, this universal infatuation bore not only the mark of a blindness, an imbecility, but had also the air of a vengeance. (…) it is nonetheless obvious that this industry, by invading the territories of art, has become art’s most mortal enemy, and that the confusion of their several functions prevents any of them from being properly fulfilled. Poetry and progress are like two ambitious men who hate one another with an instinctive hatred, and when they meet upon the same road, one of them has to give place. If photography is allowed to supplement art in some of its functions, it will soon have supplanted or corrupted it altogether, thanks to the stupidity of the multitude which is its natural ally.

I think he was dead wrong.

Photography may have influenced painting and force it into non-figurative territories (or it may have gone there by itself), but 1/ painting in general, even figurative painting, survived, 2/ photography became a new art form, and 3/ if abundance of photography did in fact, eventually, devalue the work of professional photographers, it didn't block the existence of great photographic art.
