this is weird criticism for me
as much as i do worry about ai generated art taking work from artists, but this is a pretty stock and boring album cover as far as metal albums go. least for me album art is kind of a relic of bygone era — you don’t need to sell the band and album image with an actual image, you can just preview the album on any number of legal services.

album art can be good of course and very impactful but i’m not sure it’s worth criticizing bad album art because there’s a ton of it. art which is bad from a technical perspective can still be used effectively —- for example nekrogoblikon’s album
cover for Goblin Island very much so looks like someone’s notebook sketch, probably by design, and it works well to convey the mood and attitude for the album and band.

while i get what the author of the article is trying to say i thjnk this is a needlessly harsh criticism of a band just trying something new with album art, which is fine i thjnk it’s okay place for it. artists who work with other mediums still will get work in this field i suppose because with album art it’s about conveying a specific “feel” for the album or it’s mostly just stock-like art anyways.

again still not a fan of ai art but this article does not make a compelling point

(also arguably a good font artist is more important for metal albums ))
Very interesting; thank you for linking to it. I quite agree with Thomas that "...by actions also, especially if they be repeated, so as to make a custom, law can be changed and expounded". This is essentially the same foundation as the English Common Law for the trial by jury - that a group of 'twelve men good and true' have as much justification for determining right and wrong as does a written document. The jury must be drawn from the community of the accused; otherwise, they would not necessarily be of the same custom as the accused and would, therefore, effectively not be making a judgement in the correct jurisdiction.

Intuitive Machines' Odysseus lander is likely on its side [video]
Link goes to NASA TV live stream. They stated (during the start of the press conference) that sensors indicate the machine tipped on its side on landing.

It came down with a 6 mph vertical speed, and 2 mph laterally (about walking speed). So, basically, it tripped and fell over.

They're in communications with it, and it's responsive to commands. They're hoping to get photos this weekend.
They attempted to reject a Clever Hans effect.

>To minimize potential inadvertent cues from the owner, the instructions required the owners to place the dog's toys in a different room. Owners were instructed to ask for each of the toys while ensuring that at least three toys were available for the dog to choose from.

For the test they had a camera in the room with the owner and another in the room with the toys (so the owner couldn't cheat by removing the other toys).
Imagine we could have a near real time effect of what we eat and then we discover that high fructose products are really really bad.

Also imagine that the corporations that produce those products are the worse when it comes to corruption through lobbying.
I don't care how it works.

All I care for is that it works fine and it's cheap.

On top of that the number of times in my 36 years of life I had to send money beyond the EU is literally 0. Not once.

This is an edge case that maybe some split families have, but it's just a non issue for 99.9% of bank transfers.
That's fine, but incompatible with popularity.

All people are rather different. No matter who you are, the art of popularity is the art of attracting people who are unlike you. Just because most people are unlike you, and unlike each other. Yes, this assumes removing some nice edginess, and appearing slightly generic.
LilyPond is the best way to integrate sheet music into the text-only formats (Markdown, wiki markups, org-mode). MediaWiki supports LilyPond. Emacs org-mode supports LilyPond. In fact LilyPond is way more simple to make small score snippets than any WYSIWYG score editor.
Is it actually in a usable state right now?

The last 3 times I tried to use it the ~5 projects you had to run/put together to get any higher-level usable application were always in some way incompatible with each other, as they always seem to be in a constant mode of refactoring. Figuring out a set of compatible versions looked like more like a dark ritual than anything else.
The compiler can verify for you that a pointer to const does not modify the pointed to data. It is not necessary to document it.

There are a number of constructs in C that require documentation because they are not expressible in code. More expressivity in the language reduces the documentation required. An ownership/borrowing capability means one doesn't have to document who the "owner" is. And so on.
> Can you be more precise...

Apologies - I know enough to do long-winded hand-waving on the subject...but if you want precise and concise (and really accurate), you'll need to ask a real electrical engineer.
Interestingly, I've never heard BLM described as populist. It is populist in the sense of being explicitly anti-establishment and anti-elite, as well as being in favor of the downtrodden.

It just comes at it from a racial angle, and focusing more on reforming society rather than politics.
I think people who follow / read up on the thing have a pretty good idea who it is but as you say he didn't really do anything wrong. Reasons for anonymity include not having criminals try to extort you and maybe some government having a go over money laundering or people suing for this of that so I think people with a good idea stay quiet to respect Satoshi's desires.

I've got a theory he may come out and donate to a charitable foundation when he's old and near the end.
You're right.

I actually like him for that.

What I inherently dislike is anarcho-capitalism of which he's a huge supporter.

For the most part, as an adult, your microviome has a fixed composition - what you eat will rapidly alter the relative proportions of your gut microbes, but even drastic dietary shifts are unlikely to either kill strains off, or introduce new ones, so any diet will only have so much of an effect, and it'll bounce right back if you go back to your old diet.
A while back I built a music publishing company (long defunct) and used LilyPond to engrave all of our scores. I received comments from quite a few established composers that the engraving was the best they'd seen from any publisher.

I ended up with a collection of macros I used for common tasks. Probably the most-used was a macro that manually overrode the positioning of an element to be more visually pleasing or less confusing. Of course, it could be argued that the need for this indicates a deficiency of the engraving engine (and this was sometimes the case), but a manual final pass makes the difference between functional and professional-looking results. LilyPond's markup language made this easy.

LilyPond's test suite taught me the value of comprehensive test-driven development: every bug starts as an addition to the test suite, and a visual diff—including a numerical value indicating the amount of change—is taken of the entire suite in between versions. In this way, regressions are quickly identified.

I meant gimmick in the sense of a unique feature that distinguished it from all the other message boards and social networking things that existed at that time. Nobody I knew used texting to post (because it was expensive in those days of charging per character), but it got a lot of press for being able to post from your phone.
Even so his long and influential experience influences his managing and the direction of the company.
How would they profit from falsifying lab reports on research into methods for remediation of pfas contamination?
I just sold an old C2D machine on Facebook marketplace for $80.

This one had been given to my son to play games on, and then we did a few upgrades: a 256gb SSD I had laying around, a $15 half-height R5 340X GPU off ebay, and a $5 E8500 CPU upgrade (replacing a Pentium Dual Core E5200.)

I gave it a clean install of Windows 10, and someone bought it for his mom to browse facebook on.

Sure, without those upgrades, it probably wouldn't have fetched as much, but the SSD made the most significant difference, and you can get those for $15 these days.
And look how you immediately pivoted from the compatibility with Windows to the compatibility with running Windows.

> The only things I have checked

That's great but nobody needs to check if it's compatible with Windows. The whole step - it's just not needed.

So if the "everything just works in Linux!" people say "oh you should had just checked" then the former was clearly not in a good faith or outright delusional.

> A lot of software I use either does not run on Windows, or is harder to install or is less mature on Windows. Obviously lots of server side stuff, but even some desktop stuff I would be doubtful about because the bulk of users are on Linux.

And most of the people houses and people themselves can't run the welding equipment, so what? How from discussing compatibility of widgets and gadgets of a regular Joe you moved on to a highly specialized and a very narrow scope of the server software?
The saying resonates with me. I have different problems programming now compared to when I started. But I still bang my head against a wall until it gives or I leave with bruises. I may not notice the little walls I step over now, and I learnt which walls to respect. The easy stuff I do on the side.
JK is always going to be critical of any winners in HPC chips. They are competitors of his.
One of the big problems I find in the shipping industry is the reliance on insurance. The idea that most packages are insured or easily replaceable. When I was a bit younger and doing some seasonal postal work in a processing plant this was the mentality. The mentality being that sometimes things will go wrong and ruin a package, but hey, whatever. Machines would sometimes destroy a package, packages would get thrown around, heavy boxes would be stacked on very small/fragile ones, etc...

Myself and many of the people I worked with all tried their best. But at the end of the day there is only so much you can do as a temp seasonal worker to prevent such things. They'd rather have a higher amount of damaged/lost items and a higher throughput.

It'd be interesting to see a competitor that made it their goal to handle packages with more care and not have this attitude. However I can't see them getting too far. They would likely have to charge more money, and any of the big companies are not going to care to pay more. They'd rather take the risk and just ship it again if it gets broken on the way. It'll end up being cheaper for them that way. The ones who lose out are the smaller businesses and individuals shipping personal items. It pissed me off when I'd see a damaged package of an item that was clearly a personal homemade thing. Something that isn't easy to just quick send another copy of.
Reminds me, tourists as well. I often traveled to a certain location abroad, and never had trouble with taxis etc. Later, two older female relatives accompanied me on a trip, and the first taxi we went on the driver tried two scams on us!

I, personally, think you can have nice things like this and they will not get abused. If the right to forage mushrooms on a non-industrial scale, or to walk along the shore next to a house without disturbing the inhabitants is given, in my experience people will respect the limitations.

It appears that the laws where I live are quite similar to those in Estonia in this aspect, and I have never heard of any real abuse.

Apple's net income was 97bn last year, Amazon's net income was 10bn. I'm not sure why you would even put those in the same category. Amazon has historically been valued on their free cash flow.

For nvidia to have 100bn in net income they would need at at least 200bn in revenue. Apple has 100bn in net income on 400bn in revenue, for comparison.

Ultimately the question is whether nvidia's moat (chips + cuda) will be durable. My guess is competitors will arrive soon and that nvidia's margins will go down. Right now nvidia seems untouchable, but reality will set in sometime next year.
Many of the Victorian buildings we may think of as worthy of preservation were eyesores of their times. St Pancras station hotel is a well known example. Mostly, I like the variety and would prefer a planning regime that would allow a larger variety of designs to be feasible to get approval for.

What are the other possible vectors for influencing politics in a republic/democracy like the US. Now that I think of it, it seems like both sides are populist.
Approved for what? There is a difference between approved for people with and people without diabetes. If you have diabetes you may want this, but if it isn't very accurate it isn't going to do what you want. If you don't have diabetes though this could be a useful thing sitting on your watch, ready to give an alarm that you need to see a doctor because things are looking bad - people often go diagnosed with mild diabetes for a long time (depending on when their next physical is) and starting treatment for those people sooner can improve long term quality of life. Or if you do have diabetes maybe this can sometimes say do an extra blood sugar test at a time when normally you wouldn't (so long as there are not too many false positives)
Yeah so that means at most it can pull 1.5A. So realistically it probably runs at like 20W or likely even less.
My manager keeps asking, “can we add AI to this?” Not once has it made sense. I don’t think he has any idea what AI is, he just knows the CIO is GenAI crazy.
I'm intrigued - can you point me to any credible commentator or article that makes the argument "it's illegal to train on copyrighted material without a license to it" - that seems entirely contrary to the spirt (as I understand it) to copyright law, which is it grants you a right to copy.

I like that you bring up music - almost every musician you have ever listened to (some exceptions of course) developed their talent by learning from others - chords, bridges, etc... And I'm just as certain that close to 0% of them had a "license to learn" from their material.

I wonder what were the driving forces for the relatively tall and slender lander, compared to the recent indian and chinese lander designs. The Falcon 9 rocket diameter probably played a big role in the design decisions.
Or maybe NVidia was just heavily undervalued and the market just caught up.
It wouldn't be the first time it happened. When AMD released first Epic/ThreadRippers which made it obvious they are going to wipe the floor with Intel, it was more than 10x cheaper than it is today.

People were shouting "P/E" and "Dividends" back then for a few years as well thinking it's crazy AMD approaches Intel's market cap.

One might expect the original American “Monopoly” to be set in New York, but it’s actually based on the streets of Atlantic City, New Jersey. Which is sort of like if the UK version were set in an Essex beach town.
I certainly would not count out Google's engineering talent. But all the technical expertise in the world won't matter when the leadership is incompetent and dysfunctional. Rolling out a new product takes vision, and it means taking some risks. This is diametrically opposed to how Google operates today. Gemini could be years ahead of ChatGPT (and maybe it is now, if it weren't neutered), but Google's current leadership would have no idea what to do with it.

Google has the technical resources to become a major player here, maybe even the dominant player. But it won't happen under current management. I won't count out Google entirely, and there's still time for the company to be saved. It starts with new leadership.
Tornado Cash is a protocol which can be used by both good and bad actors. Saying TC was responsible for bad actors laundering their crypto through the protocol is like saying auto makers are responsible for car crashes or Bob Kahn is responsible for all the illegal activities on the internet.

What's not to understand? Spotify doesn't control the ads baked into content. They control their ads. They can't remove the ads in podcasts. Paying for YouTube Premium doesn't remove ad reads from the creator.

Your options are to support the podcast directly for an ad free experience if it exists, listen to the podcast anyway, or stop supporting podcasts that do this by not listening to them.

Thank you! A large motivation behind this line of home-robot work for me is thinking about the elderly, people with disabilities, or busy parents who simply don't have enough time to do it all.

Over time I've come to appreciate more the way in which the Anglican Church, as you put it, "follows both Scripture and Tradition". A single clever person can manipulate with relative ease the interpretation of a written document (for instance, scripture), but to manipulate an entire custom is much more challenging, although arguably not impossible. Thus, although evil customs can certainly emerge gradually over time, a given custom is, in my opinion, more often than not founded on an older course of reasoning that was righteous in origin.

To put it more concretely: a written document from a thousand years ago is almost unintelligible to all but specialist linguists, and its accurate interpretation difficult for all but specialist social historians. Yet the customs displayed by a people that long ago would still seem very familiar today. Which would you trust to form the basis of your community's sense of justice - the faded old document in a strange language, or the equally ancient tradition passed down habitually across generations?
The problem with lilypond is that it's a write-only language. Due to so many macros, it can't be parsed, only executed.

So its main value to me is as an intermediate output format. Because its output is amazing.

It seems like the words are all increasingly meaningless. It's about what connotation you can give to them for the people in your base. And if you can't change the connotation, you just invent a new word.

I think I remember some on the left calling when Bernie Sanders and Barack Obama "populists", but in a good way. Or maybe the word was "grassroots." Nowadays the word populist has a negative, right-wing connotation for many in that group.
