Put in a couple of MIDI ports and I'll pretend it's a modern day Atari ST and run some Cubase...

_this_ is the Judgement Day we were warned about--not in the nuclear annihilation sense--but the "AI was then let loose on all our codez and the systems went down" sense

crazy times...

Thank you for taking up the mantle!

So it turns out that AI is just like another function, inputs and outputs, and the better you design your input (prompt) the better the output (intelligence), got it.

Perhaps you're a testament to why we actually want "managers who are also engineers" in these roles - for exactly cases like these, where you have the experience to know what "done" means.

Semantic Web FTW xD

This was dramatized in Darren Brown's "The System"[1] some years ago, but instead of stock picks he used horse race betting.

Its amazing to see the people that won on the previous Nth rounds believe that their next tip was a "sure thing".

"poor little rich boy story,"

I think you're taking my example a little too literally there... it's an example. The point is to save the reveal (spoilers?) till the end so that you can relate to the story more.

That's exactly why it's written this way -- to devoid the reader of any prejudice and humanize this tragic story -- because it is tragic. If it was written "normally", like "Elvis' Grandson Ben killed himself, and here's why..." some people might hand wave it away as just another "poor little rich boy story". This is also probably one of the reasons for his suicide (IMO of course). I mean, he's Elvis' kid he couldn't possibly be unhappy, right?

As to whether or not this is appropriate for HN, I'm also not so sure... but I enjoyed reading it.

01:04 "And I can't even say his name"

Well, it looks like a big fail right off the bat.

I believe that would be BONDS (or GILTS if you're in the UK)

Yes, it's a demo, welcome to the Demoscene™

Don't worry, by the time this kid's old enough to even care, he'll be unrecognizable. If it's any consolation. I cannot recognize this kid as anything other than a "kid". Good looking kid for sure, but still a kid.

Hmmm... not really, irrc you will be bound by memory limits of your browser/wasm context. Small videos would be fine, large ones, not so much...

I think prolific in this case is more the "Super Whizkid DJ Creates 100,000 Tracks in a Week" sense -- not in the sense that you may or may not have heard of them...

I maybe mistaken but I believe you can create additional aliases under the same account -- I seem to remember doing that a few months back when I got auto-updated to Google Workspace.

Yes indeed.

IMO this is also a good example of engineers looking for complex bugs and solutions which are simply not there.

Opps! Yeah you're right. I need to read better xD

I wonder how much this plays into your being left alone and not being challenged by your co-workers. My guess is a lot. I'm sure the cachet of being an "Harvard Guy" has deterred many from even trying and simply assume you know what you're doing etc.

url imports

Aren't they just taking a feather out of Golang's hat?

What you really mean is that it was US centric and wasn't spammed to death by bot networks and state-backed actors that want to sow division.

The fact that you had to get the disk and pay with a credit card created one of the best online user experiences we had.

Just EFF'ing sign it.

The point I'm making is that you can simply modify an already existing font "just enough" for it to be considered a new work.

This is essentially what happened with Arial w/ Helvetica; and companies have been doing this ever since to create new licenses that they can control.

We are drowning in Grotesk/Sans-Serif/Helvetica type fonts! Do we really need another "Big Tech Sans"? Or rather, why can't Twitter just use X? xD

Yes, welcome to Corporate Typograhism™ where big corp takes an already existing (copyrighted) font -- change it a little -- then release it as their own.

Some Copyright is more Copyright than others...

So in short:

Apple respected its Users' privacy and therefore only reported a low number CSAM cases since it didn't monitor and scan anything.

Facebook, because it doesn't respect its Users' privacy, wants to monitor and scan everything so it has to report large numbers of CSAM cases (in the millions).

It seems to me that the "number of CSAM cases" is a nice (perverse?) corollary to how much a particular service respects its Users privacy.

Super happy I took advantage of the sale they had a few weeks ago -- bought both Photo/Designer and now can finally say goodbye to the Adobe Subscription shackles.

Thank you.

Haven't you noticed the rise of all these SaaS companies in recent years? That's because SMB can't afford software engineers (expensive or otherwise), let alone commit to developing complex software, so they simply goto mysaas.com and select a Plan.

Since I have a Job that runs every hour, I can see that it's been down for ~4hours.

Thanks for the correction :*
