I would argue precisely that downright piracy is better than the Spotify model. It is based in micro-micropayments, so much so that even at internet scale very few artists outside …

I think RateYourMusic also allows for commenting pretty much on everything (and it also extends to film and, IIRC, videogames). It might not be as friendly as last.fm on the surfac…

I immediately thought of this piece, especially the analysis on the writing style of each person. On one hand, it is clear that the mathematical tools for confidently attributing a…

I take the lack of a concluding thought to your comment as a sign of your pondering, and in that case, I would love to read your thoughts on this matter. :)

I think a lot has happened since the 90's, and you rightfully point out that there was very little money in music to begin with. Labels generally always took a very large fraction …

Last time I used it, Avante was pretty much nailing what you are describing. https://github.com/yetone/avante.nvim

Oh my. Although I understand, and I do truly, that the em dash might be a tell for LLMs...I have been using it for years, now, and the last time this came up on HN I understood exa…

The em dash thing is not very conclusive. I have been writing with the em dash for many years, because it looks better and is very accessible on Mac OS (long press on dash key), wh…

Please don't mind my possibly simplistic question — but is this something that would bring Rust development closer to a Lisp environment? Seems like an interesting project.

This looks really cool! Might do a few hours travel to join. I did not know about c-base either. Are there similar associations throughout Europe? I'd love to join one — seems to h…

Very unrelated, but: I run Linux on an older Thinkpad and I appreciate fast websites. This is a very well-designed website! It loads fast and it scrolls quite quickly. Does anybody…

Been reading their latest on interoperability. Interesting stuff, and a possible avenue for tech sanity in the upcoming years.

Demetri Martin has a great joke on digital cameras: "I like digital cameras, because they enable you to reminisce immediately. Just like, look at us. We’re so young. Standing right…

I remember when you first posted this and it is a project I think upon very frequently! It's nice to see you have made further progress — and that there are comments with attempts …

Huh! I think I'll respond just for the sake of adding to the conversation: otherwise I mostly just lurk in here. I read a lot of books on my Kobo e-reader and I wanted a way to ret…

This is heartbreaking. It's possible you might not have it, but that response is so inadequate – and from three doctors! If you want to read more on the condition, Gabor Maté's Sca…

Take what I say with a grain of salt — please do your own research — but I think both THC (to which you allude earlier in this thread) and alcohol affect REM sleep/deep sleep. In f…

I see. I still feel this must be carefully thought out, because although exercises are being discussed online, this platform could potentially outright distribute them all at once …

Hello! Thanks for sharing. This seems like a great resource, and I love that it is open-sourced; I could find myself wanting to help develop this further, as I also have some appre…
