Its why the rich always get richer too. They have the capital to buy into inevitable downturns and ride the bull run into orders of magnitude increases of wealth. Everyone else just loses their job and has to pay for rent and food out of savings and loses their generational wealth in the process.

When you no longer have page rank (counting the number and quality of links to a page to determine a rough estimate of how important the website is), how do you best serve results?

The value of slop does approach zero, but as the time and money required to produce slop also approaches zero it takes very little incentive for people to keep churning out infinite amounts of slop. If it costs 2 cents to make an AI generated song and the EV on its Spotify revenue is 3 cents then it's worth doing if you can automate it. Meanwhile everyone making an actual effort, using AI or not, gets buried under an ocean of shit that nobody has the patience to wade through.

This is the principle behind AI-generated SEO blogs, the content is garbage that nobody wants, but they are profitable nonetheless.
The Root Cause
The example song is the best instrumental I've seen generated with AI, and it isn't close.

Since you have a lot of customization though, it's hard to judge how much is the AI and how much is the human.
I agree and part of that was delivered, I mentioned earlier that for some use cases SPA tech couldn't be better (well, it could and it keeps on improving and i'm in for it). But it seems that it washed away with good practices, with things that used to work and are utterly broken. Again, Im not blaming React, I just can't help but notice that the brokenness started around the same time React was adopted en masse.
Wow, we're all used to data grabs and IP issues. But that seems to play out a little differently in the music world.

The last time this subject came up, when Israel forcefully removed Aj Jazeera[1], there were many HN comments openly supporting such hostility and censorship.

What type of "not profitable"? By itself that's not a useful statement.

Do they have a bunch of cash in the bank?

Do they have higher revenue than Cost of Business?

Do they have free cash flow? Is it growing?

A business that isn't profitable and also isn't growing is a much different beast than a company that is investing its cash reserves to grow the business.
This is about generating something to consume though, not make? Making music is about so much more than the end product. It's the path not the destination etc. You learn so much about life when you have an artistic practice in general (not just music). I'm perfectly fine embracing AI tools, but clicking some buttons to generate a song isn't making music.
For greater control, higher quality audio results and less censorship, but with the downside of being a bit fiddly, there's Udio. It's otherwise functionally similar:

Off topic but I really dislike the trend of using “human readable durations” like “a month ago”, just tell me the bloody date, I can figure out for myself.

Outlook (Mac version at least) is the worst offender. For emails prior to the current day it will say for example just “yesterday” and it will only show you the time if you click on the email. I get dozens of mails per day, having just “yesterday” for 50 messages in a row is useless.
In Turkey it is precisely the pooprly reinforced buildings that collapsed.

Much of the damage in Turkey occurred in nonductile concrete buildings constructed under a pre-1998 Turkish building code. Ductile concrete building elements, required by newer building codes, are more flexible, thanks to steel reinforcing bars at critical locations.

I use Windows since 3.1. At the very-very least there is always Win+L.

There is a navigation block (arrows, Home/End, PgUp/PgDown) which is used extensively with Ctrl and Shift when editing text and navigating files and ContextMenu is used when I need a context menu without changing my hand to the mouse to RMB.

Also you can use RWin+ many keys on the right side for your own hotkeys, without clashing with the built-ins.

> but can't imagine navigating the start menu or context menues with the keyboar

My condolences?

There is absolutely nothing wrong doing it with a keyboard. On a notebook it's even more convenient.

Honestly, OP and your comments sounds like you don't use your right hand on the keyboard.

Edit: and to clarify, RWin, arrows, Enter is the fastest way to open an app which is pinned in the Start Menu.

If you don't pin apps there then see my previous comment.

And to both of you: if you never use something it doesn't mean nobody ever in the whole universe does not use it too.

There is an argument to be made that the country is not thinking about any of this stuff at all and they will base their vote on how they feel come election time.

On the flipside, there is also evidence to indicate that Trump has completely lost the independent vote which you need to win the election.

You know what would help save the country? If Biden did not seek re-election. After all, he originally called himself a 'transition' president in 2020. His selfish behavior is the reason we are even having a discussion. There still might be time to swap him out at the convention if things get really bad but there is an argument to be made that the large Muslim community in Michigan would rather punish him for Israel/Palestine and accept Trump than give him the satisfaction that he so desires of being a two term president.

Thats all Biden seems to really care about and by making him the president that lost the country to Trump, it will be a greater way to get payback than anything else they can try.

I think there is truth to what you said but you also have to be careful not to judge 1980s games by 2020s standards.

All the games were user hostile back then. You could play a sierra game with hostile user input parsing and really nice graphics for the day. Or you could play another game that was even more hostile but had no graphics or vastly worse graphics, and often with next to no story. Often you had to be a huge nerd to even get the games to run at all. You probably needed to learn a lot about DOS config or how to write .bat files to get sound to work or your graphics to work right. A typical non-nerd consumer would probably never have figured out how to get it to run unless maybe Tech Support was excellent back then. My Dad was an engineer.. no way we'd have ever gotten them to run without his knowledge.

A lot of the negative stuff happened at the very end before they were acquired and then after they were acquired. But even in the early 1990s they had some mega hits.. they just weren't in the original lineup of adventure games. IMO the adventure games never really worked once they started using the mouse. They were less hostile but just seemed dumb. In the early 1990s the Dynamix games Sierra published were great though, those were/are some of my most favorite games from my childhood. What was hostile about those was getting them functioning in Dos though. I remember Metal Tech Earthsiege being a real huge effort with config.sys and autoexec.bat to get the whole game to function.

I wanted to play a lot of these games bad enough to learn more about the computer worked, the hostility probably contributed to me going down the path of studying CS.
In the US it would require a constitutional amendment that survives judicial review. You have better odds of winning the lottery twice in a row.
> the fed just printed credit like crazy to match said deflation and keep the inflation at 2pct

There's no rational basis for the 2pct inflation target [1], it's entirely baseless, in some sense it's now a matter of conservatism, mere tradition from a random fad decision in the 90s.

And the point is that monetary expansion directs the energy of the economy and effectively steals savings, forcing the economic energy of people into consumerism and CEOs pockets.

Google's Gemini is not mind-blowing nor probably top model but without a doubt is in the same ballpark as all their competitors. Which I think is a pretty Good sign. Just like Meta, Google did not drop the ball on AI and looks like they had their ears to the ground better than say MSFT, APPLE or AMZN.

In that sense I can see why investors are happy. What matters is if Google can continue to innovate and at a rate faster than competition.

I'm really intrigued with both Suno and Udio as to how the music is represented internally.

Does the model build up track by track vertically, which would then lend itself to a more capable product for professionals, an AI powered DAW if you will. Or is it building a linear stream of all the sounds beat by beat e.g. horizontally?

FWIW I got consistently more musically pleasing results from Udio than Suno. Although occasionally Udio would sing AI gibberish.
This is well known in medicine except it often works in the opposite direction, i.e. it tricks people into way overestimating the chance that something rare will happen. So yes, across a population, some children will die of COVID, but your child isn't going to die of COVID.

OTOH it often works against you in the forward direction, e.g. tricking people into thinking we should screen everyone for everything all the time, because they don't appreciate how many incremental adverse events this will result in at scale (vs. the improvements in morbidity/mortality stats at scale)

BRL-CAD is a true gem
That article is from 2017, so has nothing to do with AI.
I kinda agree. AI is indeed a reductive technology that very rarely (if ever) returns factual content. But that's tangential to the real problem, in my opinion; how much we trust people who are entirely capable of disseminating lies. Researchers and government employees know that they're doing the wrong thing when they delegate important work to language models. They are liable to be audited, questioned under-oath and punished if they deliberately publish wrong information. AI doesn't really change that, besides enabling them to fabricate lies faster (which was never something people struggled with in the first place).

> It will get to the point where when asked to show proof of something, you'll realize there is no way to actually find it.

This I think is just blatantly wrong. For all the hubbub around AI, I've seen pretty much nothing AI-generated persist past maybe 2 days after it was uploaded. AI-generated news articles and photos simply aren't held in high-regard, relative to the prevalence of factual and cross-referenced knowledge. People remember Pixar films, nobody remembers that stupid Pope Balenciaga trend from Twitter a few months back. Nobody likely ever will.

Neither one of those is true. So long as it is not extreme, a decline in the price of goods means consumers have greater purchasing power, more financial security and hence more flexibility in their spending and saving. All of these are good for the economy as an aggregate.
Ask HN: How does modern FreeCAD compare with Solidworks?
Its been a while since I have touched Freecad, and would like to go open source for my Cad projects, but the last time I used it it was severely lacking in features compared to Solidworks.

The main thing Im looking for is parametric modeling. The use case is basically sketches with constraints -> parts -> assembly with constraints -> drawings that show driven dimentions.

I have the time to learn it, but I don't want to be writing custom python scripts to do the above.

Easier said than done. People have 401k instead of pensions now. Everyone and everything is too overleveraged in the market to not be so affected by it.

> The state of the art, such as it is, could hardly be any worse.

That seems highly unlikely to be true.
There's been a paradox at the heart of the tech revolution - the world's information is more easily available than every before, for free and at everyone's fingertips. However it's making it harder to filter through the information overload, the low quality content, the misinformation, the true and the false.

There's a confusion between quantity and quality. Your skills and ability to differentiate need to increase with the tech - even though consumption is always getting easier. Also understanding the limitations of these AI systems, which relatively few people do relative to how many use these tools now (also Social Media is largely to blame for the general decrease in content quality, even though it's one of the best distribution systems ever created).
No. Passengers often experience things as "a big drop" while no such thing happened.

In this case several news sites even claim it dropped 6000ft. But if you read the Avherald report (often a very good source) or look at the ADS-B data, you'll see they descended 6000ft in approximately 10 minutes. So that was just the crew deciding to get out of the turbulence by changing altitude in a normal way.

You don't stall a jet from turbulence unless you're far higher than the maximum allowed altitude or otherwise way outside normal flight parameters.

Having owned two AE-1s (one of which was an AE-1 Program), I'd avoid them. I know every TikTok/YouTube influencer will disagree with me, but they're not actually that good of a beginner SLR.

AE-1s are notoriously fragile. Their light meters break pretty easily, and then there's the shutter squeak of doom. Plenty of more reliable SLRs can be had for less money. Then there's the price - they're stupidly expensive, in part because of the influencers causing beginners to flock to them on eBay. I find the AE-1's shutter priority mode less useful than aperture priority on other cameras.

If you already have an AE-1 and you like it, don't get rid of it because of my comment. If you haven't bought a 35mm SLR yet, take a good look at the Canon T70, Minolta X-700, and Nikon N2000. All of them match or beat the AE-1/AE-1P in feature set, all can be had for cheaper than an AE-1, and all of them are better-made.
We were already there a few years ago before the generative AI boom.

> The time comes when music played by real people, even with mistakes, will be valued more than electronically generated performance.

Robin Hanson recently said something to the effect that this might be the last era of human-dominated artistic production. As such, that works produced in these days -- these final days of the human arts -- might be especially prestigious and valuable in times to come.

I believe it. Suno is shockingly good already, and it's only going to get better. The curtain on human composers is probably going to drop faster than we think.
Suno has some advantages and cons, it can make any music style and can render 2 minute songs in seconds. Its lyric generator is also a tad nicer than others right now. Vocals are horrible, I think about 25% of the vocals sound nice.

Its training on musical styles gives it a lead, its vocals needs much improvement.

Its a great tool for creativity, but its a tad far from music ending up in my playlist due to vocals. For now. Instrumentals, i can totally see using it for background music in videos, themes, trailers, etc.
I loved BetterSnapTool, but I'm glad my workflow has simplified to the point where allowing my windows to be subjected to the tyranny of a dynamic tiling window manager actually made sense, and now I feel more at home than ever!
