I have a old keyboard (Ensoniq SQ1-Plus) where the battery doesn't work right (even when changed) and I was going to put ML Studio on a Raspberry Pi or Mini PC with a USB MIDI device to record. But this thing is exactly what I'm looking for.

When I want to record for real, I'm going to use my DAW. But I want a way to quickly record tracks and this looks pretty great.

With me (I have ADHD), I would never be able to listen to an audiobook alone, I would zone out and day dream one paragraph in. But If I'm playing a game on my phone, I can listen and pay attention for hours.

Not sure where I first heard this, but I say it to my team all the time: "Programming is thinking, not typing"

The only thing I liked when I did use Facebook was the "wall". To be able to post on a friend's wall semi- publically where their friends can see it. Most other Facebook clones have had the idea of tagging, but it wasn't the same. (E.g. Google+)

This may be pure conjecture, but my first thought is always that it might be a marketing ploy by the AI companies to make their products seem more advanced than they really are.

I would imagine, in this example, that the fact that you put in the numbers yourself gives you a mental map of where the numbers are and how they relate to each other, that having AI do it for you doesn't give you.

You could stare at a large sheet of numbers for a long time, and perhaps never get the kind of context you gained by entering them.

Additionally, if there was a mistake, it may not be as noticeable.

It felt the same way when AOL bought Time Warner.

I don't have a reliable source, but I've heard that the original script had the machines use us for our processing power, not our energy, but that the studio thought it sounded too complicated and had them change it. Of course, changing it makes it make ZERO sense.

Some not so reliable sources I found:

I used to use XSLT all the time, but I had forgotten all about and haven't used it in years. It was perfect to do a quick SQL query with "for xml auto" and then add an XSLT stylesheet to it. Instant report.

I also do the text file thing. I use EditPad Pro. The only additional thing I've done is create syntax coloring in any file named 'tasks-*.txt'.

I added simple things like: - Color anything ending in a ? green, so when looking at a list of notes, so I know where the questions were. - Any line beginning with an all caps word is highlighted (e.g. TODO: ) - Any line ending in a : is highlighted light blue (e.g. title) - Any Line Containing "Error" is red

I do suppose I could be using Markdown, but I've had this going for 20 years now.

I've always had this idea that perhaps the whole universe had already collapsed into many black holes and perhaps each galaxy was actually formed via hawking radiation. Then our galaxy came out of Sagittarius A*.

I watched an Amazon Prime knockoff of Silicon Valley called Betas

Not sure you can call it a knockoff if it came out a year earlier!

But - hear me out - if all of your servers did have wifi - and it was usually disabled - but you could enable it, move the server, then disable it - that might be something?

I know having a redundant server is better - but there's something to it.

Also, this reminds me of a post I read a while ago about them moving a server from one building to another without unplugging it or something.

This is the same thing the media did with "hacker".

My phone NEVER connects properly and if I want to use it for streaming, I have to spend 2-3 minutes connecting it every time. This has always been the case. Past 3 cards, past 6 phones.

Now-a-days I load up a small flash drive for the car with a small sampling of what I want to listen to. I have another one at home and "Swap" them from time to time with new things. That way it's not overloaded, doesn't take 2 minutes to load up. So it's very much like a mix CD or the mp3 CDs I would burn a couple of decades ago.

I don't think the author was referring to thinking or consciousness itself, but things like the processes within cells and the replication of DNA.

A related thing that happens a lot is when the demo is way slower than it was when you were testing it. But at least this one can be explained by screen sharing applications adding latency to your refresh rate. It really is slower when you share your screen!

It should be noted that this wasn't free - as you said, you had to sit through a 30 minute ad before participating.

Something happens when you tune your business only to the things you can measure.

I still (or at least try to still) have this naive opinion that if you make a good product, the money will come.

We sometimes spend too much time counting the beans and not enough time growing them. Not saying you don't need to count the beans, you do, but when your whole team is counting, they may forget to water them.

Also - to be on topic - don't forget to protect the beans!

It's not only about the end that's receiving, it's also the end that's transmitting 10kbps * thousands of users.

After reading many threads here, I think the final ruling may be: - If your record represents a physical being or object: Use a surrogate key.

People change.

Unrelated - if you have a list of emails or SSNs or license plates or VINs - we can think of these as foreign keys to a database we don't control.

Or one entire actual brain - if it can be done once by natural selection, it can be done more efficiently again by a designer.

Time exists because the universe doesn't do calculations - the only way to see the outcome is to do the thing. See: The Three Body Problem

I was a teenager in the 90s and there was a famous case at the time (don't remember the names) where a woman shot someone at his front door and the news was saying she was a drug dealer because she had a beeper.

But I had a beeper, and all my friends had beepers, and it seemed very strange to me.

Or that infinite scroll game of life that was on here a few weeks ago! more density, same information!

I like this idea, but it should have a limit - because every time I zoom in to read the name of a road on a map and the text resizes to a smaller size for infinity I wish it didn't.

I'm on Long Island and there was a train passing at the same time.

I've always had this weird thought - that doesn't really pass the ethics test, but here it is anyway.

I was raised by my grandmother - let's just say my parents were not ready. And I know a lot of parents that want their kids to have kids but the kids aren't ready. What if it would become the norm for Grandparents to raise the children? That way the second generation can focus on their careers, etc and the first generation could raise the third. That wouldn't mean the second generation wouldn't have a role and be a part of the process. Of course, there would have to be consent on each level - and if it was part of the culture maybe there would be. Also, technology may have a role in this also - if no one has to actually carry the children, the second generation could be more willing.

The whole point is that this happens all the time, but it's always seen as a break from the norm, not the norm. What if we just embraced it?

The next generation would happen earlier, the first generation would have their grand kids and the second generation would have time to "wait" for whatever reason.

Again, I know this doesn't really work out, but it's a thought I've always had.

If you had the Dark Reader extension enabled like I did when I first went to the site...

Exactly - time is relative to our reference frame, so that would be the best arbitrary choice.
