Read a few of your posts. Just wanted to comment on how I like your to-the-point succinct style and how you care about privacy. :) As a suggestion, I saw you have RSS: https://hone…

I'm afraid that could lead to political instability. Maybe not, but I imagine if 59% of people vote "X" but 60% were needed, people could revolt or at least drastic and unpredictab…

I think direct democracy is bad for a couple of reasons (some are probably rephrased versions of another reason): * not everyone can be an expert on everything; * people can't know…

Might be unrelated to the specific GUI discussion but I absolutely hate how there is no threaded discussion on Bluesky or Mastodon (or Twitter which they desperately try to mimic f…

So you put up a fight because people put something on their own land that doesn't look pretty without a HOA agreement in place? Or am I missing something? If I were living there an…

We the citizens, specifically the tech-inclined people who would be able to set up wallets for the different vendors. I have bought fast food from a small non-chain store with Bitc…

Can anyone provide historical data for "job busts" or other types of declines in tech employment, massive layoffs or hire freezes? I seem to read about something like this every fe…

2/2 > You see, the art should make people stop and think. You stopped and thought about the rocks. I'd guess... I cannot know obviously, but still I'd dare to guess, that you misse…

I got a "That comment was too long" for the first time so I'll split it in 2. 1/2 First I'd like to say I enjoy communicating with you even if it seems like I'd disagreeing or bein…

Sure, if the chili peppers or the beans are not packaged, you could buy as little as you want. Sometimes you might get funny looks, sometimes they'll give you the bean for free as …

I remember a story about someone my parents told me. They really liked a certain musician (forgot which one, I was told the story like 30 years ago), then my parents mentioned that…

Tangential, but the nicotine is not as bad as people think.

I found https://sonification.design/ where there are floods and evictions and other things unrelated to sound being sonified. So sonification isn't a new idea. Maybe sonifications …

Maybe I wasn't clear with my definition of "random" for this purpose. > The underlying driver… the trains locations are on a schedule. > There are variations as trains run fast or …

I get that. I just haven't really been exposed to AI music unless I wanted to be exposed to it, so it doesn't annoy me. I've read about how Spotify and similar services are full of…

I can understand how generic AI slop or even random notes can be better than shitty pop music. If you don't expect it to rival your favorite artists, you won't be disappointed. If …

I get than seeing someone is different than it being explained to you, but not by much. "Picture 4 big stones with a metal mesh covering parts of them so... blah blah.". I can pict…

I've had a hard time appreciating art so far, especially the ones that focus primarily on the concept, like this one. I get that it's novel and interesting, but I can't see myself …

Unlike other commenters than seem to place more importance on concept, expectations and whether anyone can make it, yours is the only comment that says AI music is recognizable as …

So it has to do with our expectations (what we're promised) and with the fact anyone can make it? I get both points but neither seems to be about the music itself.

It's interesting that a lot people like this but dislike AI-generated music. The music itself here is completely random to us, yet I can't see how AI-generated music can be worse t…

What's so special about these designs that makes it copyrightable? The keyboards in the image look very much like any other keyboard I've seen.
