It seems that SuperSonic also uses GPL, no?

I think the underlying Supercollider sound engine uses the more restrictive GPL, though...

I keep wanting to learn Supercollider but I never get to. Maybe I'm more enamored of the idea of live coding than actually wanting to play this way. Sonic Pi could finally convince…

I wonder how GLP-1 treatment would affect men's employment. I think in the case of women, if there's an effect for appearance increasing employment opportunities, it's not surprisi…

10MB to tell me the weather from a remote server... Let's remember that the sprawling world of Legend of Zelda SNES (a Link to the Past), including all graphics, music, code and di…

At this point I'm equating people who are radically against AI (as opposed to nuanced yet sharply critical) as being the flat earthers of our industry.

Total or nothing. The sun is so bright even 0.1% will prevent you from seeing the eclipse directly. With all respect for your family, they are very wrong on this one. I'd beg them …

The article makes a more subtle point. You can still have deterministic physics but not necessarily explained by simple math equations. For instance, physics could have worked thro…

Very cool! Just remember the one truth about solar eclipses: total or nothing . While I don't want to dismiss partial eclipses entirely, please don't think that partial eclipses ar…

I'd never pay to have you as a teacher, I'm sorry. Maybe your move makes a sense for the reputation of your university's degree, but as a student willing to pay to learn remotely, …

I hate when people say that vynils are better than CDs. Sure, some people feel this way for the "vintage" sound of vynils. But that's a personal and niche opinion that isn't object…

Wasn't there something similar with scientists recently? I wonder how much of that is just statistical noise.

AI can also do the work of 500 Grindr CEOs.

What you said is different from being radically opposed to AI in all situations. You're saying that junior engineers should keep learning the fundamentals of software development i…

LOL. Would "Anthropic new hires worried CEO only cares about money" be considered newsworthy?

I use AI to code review my personal projects. There's no downside - I ignore what I don't like and take the suggestions that make sense. Most of the suggestions are good and it fou…

The difficult part is that you may think that there's an arrangement where you could force every line to go through 3 or more points. The line extends to infinity, keep in mind.

Try to come up with a set non-colinear points where NO line passes through two and ONLY TWO points and you'll see the value of the statement. You may think "I'm sure I can arrange …

On one hand, it's good that there are people working on far out ideas. On the other, there's no clearer sign of irrational exhuberance with AI than "telepathy" research when we sti…

I really wanted to hear the opinion from Mac diehards about modern MacOS. I've used Windows for decades but bought a Mac M2 a while ago. I really like it so I'm not trying to say "…

I've been reading Wolfram quite a bit lately. I'm sad for him and the family, my condolences.

I hope you get there! I made a lot of sacrifices. The one thing I'll say is to have the projects lined up. Don't leave the figuring out for after you stop working for others.
