Would be really nice to be able to use this with an acoustic piano.

Brilliantly put. Also, the very fact that there are millions of underfed people in the richest country in the world, is itself evidence of the economic failure of markets. As Richa…

OK, maybe. But how many programmers will know this in 10 years' time as use of LLMs is normalized? I like to hear what employers are saying already about recent graduates.

Because kids famously hate drawing and using their imagination. How wonderful to have technology that can solve that ancient problem.

Agree with all of that apart from "although cool". Why is it 'cool'? It's 'cool' only in the way Elon Musk and his retracting door handles are 'cool'.

I can only say that, in my own experience, you can't. Traveling pre- and post-smartphone are two completely different realities. The thing tethering you to a gigantic global facele…

I think the central message of that article is precisely that he is completing the adventure only because of community encouragement - but that that is the assistance of all the in…

There is nothing so wonderful that it cannot be ruined by turning it into a youtube channel... The really brilliant people I've met doing things like this always absolutely refused…

Disingenuous is making a bald statement like that about a very long and involved debate in philosophy. Suggest you read around the subject a bit first before making such haughty co…

I think Israel would find it harder to kill children, yes. In my view a good thing.

A very jovial discussion of systems that have killed millions of innocent people. Maybe you could do the same treatment of Nazi gas chambers or something for the next video?

A portal to an Otherworld in which I feel harassed, agitated, anxious, and stupid.

Also Maxima.

OK, but a bit lame. Luddite Club is more radical: https://www.theludditeclub.org/

Good. Given Keir Starmer's abysmal behaviour, this is about the only chance there is of keeping a Tory/Reform coalition out at the next election. I would like to see voting age cap…

Articles like this always start with such radical criticism, and end with such dismally modest proposals: "try not to look at your phone for 1 hour after you wake up", "before you …

Great work, and great to hear about Echoplayer. Sorely needed. I currently use a Cowon Plenue D2 and have an iPod Video running Rockbox. The iPod looks nice, but is flaky and outda…

Good short survey of an interesting and strange writer. I don't agree with the last paragraph however, and the sentence about "hyper-liberals" is embarassing.

A truly great film, but always spoiled imho by the fans who won't stop quoting lines from it. The lines are funny because of the context, and delivery, chaps. As Wittenstein put it…

But those numbers aren't meaningful in a scenario in which that revenue were redistributed in social housing, public healthcare, and national insurance. I don't think the world nee…
