Magic is complicated. I looked at doing something like this but the open-ended nature where one specific card will completely change the rules or require a series of followup events or modifications to the rules engine at hand is just tremendous.

*adds "be intentional" to the prompt*

Got it, good idea.

Don't worry, it's actually a 4MB SD card with a fake sticker

Well, I watched it. The archival footage makes it pretty clear they did it for the lulz and only in the present day interviews do they bolt a social action to it. I prefer if they kept it purely for the lulz because then it was art.

Their act was cool. Post-hoc bolting a protest social action on top seemed dishonest.

It's fine to say you did something cool because you could, in fact the coolest things are done just because. Adding commentary that it was a protest for stolen / wasted space, spare me the minutes please

You should check out webaudiomodules and sequencer party.

That's a really cool and simple solution to a difficult problem!! I love it!

years ago the daily wtf had a challenge for writing the worst calculator app. my submission maintained calculation state by emitting it's own source code, recompiling and running the new executable.

there is a DAW with that feature, they then extracted the multiplayer core and license that. Forget the name, though.

hey, this is really nice. Have you seen web audio modules? https://webaudiomodules.com

It is an audio/video/midi plugin standard for the web and it is rather mature.

During covid I worked on a collaborative browser-based DAW, https://sequencer.party. I definitely bit off more than I could chew, but you can wire up plugin chains at least.

I would strongly suggest you consider adding webaudiomodule support and instantly get ~50 plugins supported in the DAW. I also packaged up a bunch of them ready for consumption here: https://github.com/boourns/wam-community

Yes, that is what I'm talking about! I had once dreamed of building a service you could ask questions like "what other artists recorded in the same city in the same year as artist xyz" and have it figure it out via the discogs dataset.

If you haven't seen it, discogs releases a huge dataset for free that I feel like is ripe for powering a cool music recommendation engine

slippery slope fallacy that giving people control of their own deaths will turn into the state euthanized anybody against their will

Well my kids are already convinced 1+1=window

Reminds me of the chrome bug I filed years ago that is still unfixed. An extension with access to all browsing tabs can open a hidden iframe to a website that commonly would have mic and camera permission (like hangouts.google.com), and then inject its own JavaScript into that hidden iframe to capture mic or camera.

For this to work hangouts.google.com had to not include the HTTP header to block iframing but thankfully if you make up a URL the 404 page served on that domain does not include that http header.

give the carbon tax revenue to consumers to offset that the price of food now reflects it's true cost. people can still afford to eat and food producers would actually be incentivized to reduce emissions.

First thing I thought when I saw the headline was "oh! I should tell Sirupsen"

My 10 year old walks home from school with a few friends regularly and stops in at the local library. I haven't been arrested yet.

In 2012 I was at a conference in Montreal for CS students that had Maciej Ceglowski (Pinboard, bed bug registry) do the closing talk, and he was giving advice to students about what to work on. He said it out loud, "or if you want to work for evil go into the hallway and talk to the Palentir booth". It was a great moment of one man speaking truth to power in a packed room of their target audience.

Starting to eye my dryer lint as a toxic substance

Yes, and if I remember correctly at least one girlfriend for a few months

In highschool my friend wrote a mIRC script that waited in our city's DALnet channel for someone to announce they were *\f\(our city), and would DM them hello, start a conversation and if they responded the script would announce "babyfaceangel16 is female".

He'd turn it up and go play N64, and occasionally his computer would announce he's in a conversation with a girl so he'd drop the controller and pick up the conversation.

At least they can work from home the other two days!

Brings to mind a viral tweet I saw years ago, "my roommate asked to charge his cigarette but he had to wait as I was charging my book. The future sucks"

War driving with a friend, meeting his lady friend where she waited tables at Denny's, and then meeting her roommate is how I met my wife

Has those tests been repeated by any other researchers? The company refutes the results and I've never heard of this group previously. Not refuting the risk but would like corroboration

When you send a cold email (initiating a thread or first email to someone) does it land in the recipients inbox or spam?

This was what eventually broke my self hosting plan.. too many emails sent and never received.

Before I clicked I expected the article to be about LLM's failures in structural engineering applications

Even if you wanted to go specifically about electronic hacks, there were electronic warfare officers flying in bombers since possibly WW2? Definitely soon after, my wife's grandfather had that role in Vietnam

For people who want to explore this potential future I recommend Neal Stephenson's Termination Shock as a near future sci fi read.

Not saying it will happen like that but he brings up some interesting potential cause and effect
