I guess I just thought of it as an alternative to buying the CDs and that the same variety wouls be available. Back in the day I could go into my local CD shop and choose between the 2009 mono or stereo reissue. Now I have the 2022 stereo mix and nothing else. The album was produced with mono in mind so it seems perverse that it's not available that way. I guess in a few years from now we'll only be able to get the AI enhanced versions that correct the guitar tuning to concert pitch or whatever.

I know I could go to "ripping groups" and everything but Spotify came with the promise of getting the catalogues I wanted with minimal work on my part, in exchange for a monetary payment.
Would you say that the Spotify era is a worse time to be a musician than the UMG / Sony / Warner era?

I’m not a musician but it seems to me it’s always been difficult to make a living as an artist. I wonder if it’s easier to find an audience today than it was 50 years ago?
In very few situations you get a "yes" or "no" to that kind of question or you have a lot of things that are correct but not all of equal quality etc.
I guess you just made my point for me - a hardware root of trust is commonplace in modern computing, so I don't really get why they spent so much time talking about it.

It's so sad that we got AIs only after everybody got so sensitive about some utterances. I think the language itself was never supposed to be that serious as we are currently making it.

Yep. Far more important to, 1 - get a result consistent with both reasonable diagnosis and standard of care for the condition in question. And, 2 - get the same result given the same input every time. The FDA doesn’t like when you say “amputate the left leg” one day, and then say “amputate the right leg” the next day. Particularly when that happens after you’ve already amputated the left leg and there was nothing wrong with it.

Believe it or not, that amputation scenario has happened before. It wasn’t with AI software, but rather imaging software that hosed an orthonormal conversion on a DICOM dataset. But the same rules should obviously apply to AI.

Not sure if it's a different team building the feature or maybe it is because they are more constrained by the actual choices of the existing playlist, but the recommendations I get underneath a playlist that I am creating are MUCH better than the generic playlists for the same genre that get promoted on the homepage / search results.
The impulse has to be to eat the tablets or whatever's on hand. Going all the way to the shop to stock up on tablets does not strike me as impulsive.

So IMHO this restriction is an attempt at limiting the stock people have at home. Although I would argue this is none of the shop's business and, as far as I can gather, this is not a legal restriction.

Seriously, any presentation given with this tool would likely be improved by not having any slides at all. Just admit it-- you don't like giving talks. That's okay, but why punish your audience with a wall of bland text?

It is also interesting how the accompanying picture tries to show how current mobile music listening experience is so complicated. I don't think it is. I just have wireless headphones (good ones) and my cell phone (that I would carry around anyway). No mess, no extra device to carry around and mess with.

But of course there might be something in pressing the buttons, feeling different and special.
I know the word "neoliberal" is overused, but The EU really is a neoliberal economic bloc, in the correct sense of the term.

The most fundamental goal of the EU is to enable free flow of goods, services and labor within the bloc. The EU tries to prevent member states from enacting subsidies or regulations that benefit their own companies at the expense of other EU companies.

The one area in which EU market policy isn't neoliberal is agriculture. EU subsidies there are meant to keep farmers happy and to prevent any food crisis from ever occurring. I think food security is an exception that even the most strident free-marketeer understands.

So when people call the EU communist, I just have to chuckle.

A simple way you could stop the enshitification is if you stopped it from becoming too popular in the first place, and a way you could do that is by throttling the performance of the web site to only be able to handle x amount of requests/minute.
That's the criticism I can wholeheartedly get behind. I'd love for my money to go to the artists I listen to (and not spread among everyone).

However, I think it's a hard problem to solve.

The huge fanbase of who listen to Tailor Swift on repeat will have some of their money go towards less popular bands. If all their money goes exclusively to Taylor Swift (and similar artists), it's possible that there will be quite a number of bands who will see their earning drastically decrease.

There's also the question of where will the money go for the deceased artists. Today, it goes to rights holders and effectively disappears with no accountability on the part of the rights holder.

Well, as a musician myself, I often feel a bit conflicted reading statements like these. After all, as uncomfortable as it may be, it is <insert big pop artist> that brings _most_ people to a platform, not the indies, typically.

That's because a small number of streaming services monopolized the market. In the old days, the mid-sized city I live in used to have like 15 mainstream music stores and 3 that carried mostly indie music and they were well-visited.

Streaming could be fair if they cut up the royalties by subscribes:

But the labels with major pop acts simply will not let that happen, because it'll drastically lower their revenue.

This may be the case in some specific implementations but nothing in the DDR5 spec prevents you from pipelining the ECC calculations alongside the cycles you already need for cache management anyway. The memory itself and the interface don't care, they just do 72bit instead of 64bit.
I’m very worried about these kind of things. I’ve worked on a number of projects that were not checking any of the licenses they were building on top of. As long as it’s open sourced people always assume that it’s OK to use it. I really wish it was the case. It’s really like people are leaving these small mines here and there for people to trip on it.
It's certainly not objective journalism, that's for sure. You have to be vigilant and have a filter because there are things reported that are worth noting.

For example, it was said in the one article:

"One place the economy is showing a weakness is the labor market. January had a blowout jobs report, adding 353,000 jobs to the economy. But Hollenhorst noted that if you scratch beneath the surface, the number of hours worked is falling, the number of full-time workers has decreased, and sectors such as the restaurant industry have stalled on hiring."

Let's presume that's true, or at least 80% true. That changes all the hype around "adding jobs".

We all know, it's easy to lie and deceive with data and stats. The gov and the economy is no exception.
That’s right. AI should not be regulated, people and organizations using it should be
In this case, the sarcasm is intended to confuse, and with some readers it achieves a little more confusion than intended.

kamma could have written something like "the EU should solve <really difficult problems> before concerning itself with <simpler problenm>" but that would have made clear that the really difficult problems are really difficult. The sarcasm is rhetorical device to distract the readers so they won't pay attention to the different levels of difficulty. Handwaving, basically, and the handwaving was a little too strong and distracted some readers too much.

> Getting dragged sideways both wears flat spots in the wheels and it can bend the castors or pop the soft part of the wheel of its rim.

This may be an American problem. In the UK and many European countries, shopping carts ("trolleys") have castors on all four wheels; they will quite happily glide sideways. This makes them more maneuverable in the smaller stores, at the cost of being more difficult to control - more like the ship in Asteroids than a go-kart.
As someone who worked at Orange, I’m not sure you want to read all of it. There’s definitely some getting-the-internet-to-work magic in there, but a lot of it is… Let’s just say not every developer is incentivized to write good code.
Dane Maxwell has done this himself multiple times, and he's trained others to do it, too: https://startfromzero.com/

His method is based on focusing on the end-user and understanding them more than they understand themselves.

Your suspicion is a natural objection, and Dane can teach you how to overcome such objections.

Of course, Dane practices everything he preaches. If his marketing still leaves you suspicious, then maybe his method is not for you.
No gas was reaching Germany through Northstream when the pipeline exploded.

He's being downvoted because he is suggesting that whoever blew up Northstream cut off Germany from the Russian gas supply.

That's not true - it was Russia itself who cut the supply.

I think you've over-complicated this, or at least missed the point by quite a lot. The question is extremely simple: Why should I pay money to listen to music I like, and then that money goes to music and artists I've never and never will listen to? I don't care how much money top performers want. If I am going to spend money on music, it should go to artists that I actually listen to. And it does, because I buy music on CD and via Bandcamp and other websites, instead of streaming it.

And that's kind of the thing. If I go into a record store and buy a CD or record or something, that's what I paid for, that's what it goes to. Hell, even if I watch a monetized video on YouTube Premium, a portion of my subscription money goes to that creator. It's Literally only music that works this way, to my knowledge.

There's plenty of problems with music licensing, and to me this is just another one of them.

We use long double to present financial money amounts with a little safety on top of it before it’s consumed by whatever JavaScript (Typescript really) frontend it heads to. Works fine. Outside of the need for speed it’s one of the few areas we use c in our backend services.

We don’t store the data in floats or anything resembling it, however.
It's a multilayered issue:

- licensing could be expired, could change hands, could be removed, could...)

- naming and attribution:

A single song by a single artist will have a gazillion versions (ep, lp, original, re-recorded, re-released, re-mastered, re-re-mastered, best hits, best songs, essential, released for the European market, released for the Japanese market, Christmas special...).

On top of that distributors and rights holders have very shitty metadata that also varies between rights holders.

So if a song changed to a different version, it's quite possible both that the contract for that song changed hands between rights holders and the new rights holder uploaded incorrect/invalid/mangled metadata that Spotify disambiguated in this way.

Or, even simpler: original metadata pointed to the incorrect version, but now points to the correct version. Which is incorrect from your point of view :)

I quit Spotify for the exact same reason, but I did not blog about it. I tried to host my own alternative, but I realized that it's hard to get the songs nowadays since everything is streamed. So, I switched to Deezer. It's nice that they have some support for local files for songs I already bought elsewhere and that are not on the platform.

However, there is something annoying on the Spotify homepage that drove me away...
If you act in good faith and fix issues as they are raised, nothing really bad should happen to you. Usually, GPL breakages are amicably pointed out and only if no agreement can be reached, the big legal tools are used.

Orange knows what they are doing.
For context, around the same time Russia didn't have much gas running through it because of "extended maintenance".

You put "Blowing up Northstream" on the same level of heinousness, which is just factually incorrect.
As a developer, it's your responsibility to make sure the licenses check out; chances are you know more about those than your manager or employer's legal department.

On that note, we should probably double check our licenses and that we publish them as well.
They do yes. But it seems pretty rare.
The most recurrent case I've seen, is for remixes of popular song. Probably that labels can signal these.
1. Could be, although I doubt they would pay considering the war and sanctions

2. I thought they were forced to sell to China at a heavy discount because it was their only option ?

3. That could be an argument against anything and any side, so I do not buy it

4. I doubt that Germany would not buy Russian gas. Which would be a reason for the US to blow up the pipeline. So it is a hypothetical which cannot enforce either argument.

5. Nothing big happened because of luck. Let me remind you that the EU gas reserves were pretty low, and only managed to be not depleted because of the mildness of the 2022 winter.

6. They do not have the jurisdiction to prosecute, but why would they not disclose their findings, at a period where western media takes the extra mile to throw shade on Russia ?

7. I am not convinced, the fact that it has happened before could as easily be used as an argument for a false flag operation.
Navigating the complexities of AI in healthcare isn't about embracing regulation or throwing it to the wind per se; it's about smart integration. "MedGPT" wouldn't just be a tool—it's a leap towards democratizing medical knowledge, with the power to sift through data and present nuanced insights that can guide decisions. There are definitely ways to do this that go far outside the scope of this format of discussion. When it comes to understanding risks, the clarity and depth AI can offer are unparalleled. By leveraging AI, we're not just throwing caution to the wind; we're arming ourselves with a precision tool. Testing? It’s through iterative, real-world application and feedback, refining our approach as we learn. This isn't about replacing human judgment; it's about enhancing it with comprehensive, data-driven insights. Let’s focus on how AI can transform healthcare, driven by innovation and guided by wisdom.

The ONLY advantage of going to doctors or large hospitals is that they tend to have more data, but they (the doctors) admit that their hands are tied by so many regulations that they are being prevented from healing people. This has created a very toxic ecosystem for healthcare globally that is not driven by sincere and true interests of healing people. My grandfather convinced me to get out of healthcare due to his many decades in the industry and seeing it just completely disintegrate from circa 1950-2000. He implored me to go into a different field so as to not be caught up in an industry that does not truly cure. I'm grateful for his wisdom. His entire family were doctors and owned a hospital even. He had a very deep and well aged perspective of the development we have seen over the past century.
