Anecdata, but I find it funny you mentioning woodworker and musician. I build guitars and I play them. There is /some/ overlap, but only at the end result of me playing the guitar I have built. If I were to distill either of the two disciplines into 'content' each endeavor would lose its own individual meaning for me.

Being a musician has nothing to do with the output of working with wood, and likewise, my prowess on gouges, chisels, and saws is irrespective of my ability to write an interesting chord progression. Using a catch-all term to amalgamate the output of multiple specializations I think detracts from the results being, well... special.

Just my .02c

Yes but instead of it being treated as a clever ruse its the central artifact of his regret and shame. My understanding is that Odysseus is characterized as being tricky and deceitful without shame or regret.

The solution? Put in the work to learn how to play by ear, build chords from the tonic by identifying intervals and scale degrees. So when Youtube, on a whim, decides to DMCA all these "musicians" churning out tabs of popular songs, you wont be beholden to them.

But I know, its easier to just pull up a tab.

Give me a tool that scrapes tabs from Ultimate-Guitar and I'll be a happy camper :)

learn by ear! It's free and you don't need youtube!

"you don't deserve your guitar if you steal tabs from working musicians"

the same "working" musicians who didn't write the music they're making tabs for, didn't get any permission from the original artists, and in many cases aren't actually playing/tabbing the parts as originally written.

A "working" musician is someone who doesn't monetize someone else's work, regardless of how super hard it must be to write a PDF.

I'd say someone should take your guitar away but I'd bet money you're not doing anything groundbreaking with it anyway.

This is not an issue of being filmed in public, this is an issue of not having the choice to opt in or out of the aggregated data harvesting performed by unregulated AI models owned by unregulated for-profit corporations that have no legislative oversight or safeguards.

If a human followed me around in public recording me, went through every frame and highlighted my face, my car, my license plate, dents and scratches that identify my car, where I'm going, what I'm doing, cross referencing that to other public information to build a dossier, I would have a solid case of harassment against that person. That's some stalker shit.

Your comment reeks of elitism and condescension. If you're this upset over a public comment on a public forum, perhaps you should take your needless pedantry to a private forum where you can moderate out anyone with differing perspectives.

Speak for yourself.

"But don't expect standing ovation is my very subtle point."

that's the exact reasoning why parents who complain about how hard it is to be a parent get no sympathy from you. You blew a load in somebody (or had a load blown into you) and another human popped out. That's a choice you made for yourself, nobody forced you to, and there is a big giant swath of people out there who couldn't care less.

"don't get me started on dog/cat people who..." listen dude, you chose to have kids. You and your partner made the conscious decision to produce life, maybe instead of complaining about it, just live it and stop vilifying people who made different choices than you did.

You talk about your children as if they're a burden and that's sad.

are the millions of illegal aliens with criminal records in the room with us now? Can you show us on the doll where the millions of illegal aliens with criminal records touched you?

Not only tolerance, but also the fact that fused deposition is just not as accurate/dense/strong as injection molding when it comes to the building-blocks application.

disclaimer: i'm not a materials scientist, just a tinkerer who 3D prints and wishes they had the capability to do injection molding.

I don't see these being used outside of high earning households in gated communities. The same humans being exploited for their labor, whose earnings are hoovered up by the ultra-wealthy, barely have the discretionary income for food and clothes.

It's that old tinfoil hat theory that the Jetsons and the Flintstones took place in the same point in history, the Jetsons were in the sky with their mind-bending technology, all their needs met, meanwhile the Flintstones are down on the planet, working menial jobs wearing and eating literal scraps.

The common man will never see a household robot, that is unless they cobble together enough components that have been discarded by the haves to be used by the have-nots.

To the point of your statement, humanoid robots will certainly fill lots of niches, it'll be fascinating to see what becomes prevalent first: menial labor, agentic-type household assistance, tutoring the kids, walking grandma across the busy intersection, sex tasks, etc.

Dang even Hacker News is now rife with people making claims without providing contextual evidence.

Back in my day, the onus was on the person making the claim to provide evidence. Anything else is just lazy.

So you want to police what people do to get off? Bruh if I wanna get my kicks by choking myself out, the only victim is myself, and maybe the person that finds me if I take it too far.

For you.

It's the poor man's semi-colon, because a lot of folks never learned how to use it correctly. Now a lot of word processors automatically turn a double hyphen to the em-dash--and here we are.

People who experience trauma can't have preferences. Got it.

So apparently trauma isn't something that can inform preference?

Easy there cowboy, this isn't a 'safe space' argument, this is an argument for preference. You are more than welcome to gallivant around while publicly nude, while others are more than welcome to prefer not to. That's really the crux of it.

I'm sorry, what's the offending article here, calling them an American Conservative or a Christo-fascist?

"do a little personal work if you're traumatized by exposed body parts."

Ever considered that folks who maybe aren't so into it were, in fact, traumatized by someone with their exposed body parts?

I'd like to be the first one to add a comment in agreement.

Having had a high number of uncomfortable experiences in nude-allowed locker rooms, it's nice to know there are spots where I don't need to be subjected to it if I prefer not to.

Tell that to old Joe Dangly-sac using the hand air dryer to blow the water off his old sagging balls.

I walked in on that the first time I ever used a public gym and that shit is seared into my memory--that was enough to turn me off of the locker room for some time and you know what, I don't miss it.

More often than not, pub[l]ic nudity is innocuous, nothing remarkable, but there will always be the outlier that spoils the rest of the bunch by doing weird shit with their genitals, be it drying them where theyre not supposed to be dried (see above), touching themselves in a sexual manner (seen it in a few different locker rooms, and of course the old naked men who are more than friendly to younger, naked men.

I for one say good riddance to the nude locker room. Fuck that shit.

Welcome to the club, it's like that in tech support, too.

"Yes, in an environment where power availability is ~fixed on short-to-medium time scales, adding a new large demand will increase prices."

You just nullified your own point.

If you're in a circle of people whose moods can be brought down because of a shared opinion, you're in a circle of prepubescent children who haven't learned to regulate their emotions like a grown up.

This is the same logic that has parents buying games like GTA for their prepubescent children and being dumbfounded that the kids are exposed to violent images.

While we can definitely point the blame at tech companies that manipulate algorithms, engage in dark patterns, etc, it's ultimately up to the consumer to consume judiciously and moderate their own well being. Nobody ever asked Apple or Google to "deliver what's best" for society. What's best for society is a collection of rational, intelligent, and accountable adults.
