I have been using Claude Design + Claude Code, and results have been excellent. I have explicit clean-up instructions in Claude Code, and the handoff skill in Claude Design is pret…

While I appreciate anyone rebuilding from the studs, there is so much left out that I think is essential to even a basic discussion. 1. Not all sensors are CMOS/Bayer. Fuji's APS C…

I've been on h.news for 12 years, but rarely post. Mostly listen and learn. This one just hit me. I do a fair amount of hiring. In the past 5 yrs-ish, I've seen a new level of arro…

This is a really wonderful explanation that removes the woo from QM. As a non-scientist, I've spent a lot of time reading about QM and trying to understand stuff, and eventually ge…

IMDb Pro does a very good job of this. But you do need the subscription.

Our business is virtual live music. We have tried everything - Jamulus, JamKazam, various plugins for Ableton, Protools, Logic, etc. Bottom line is speed of light = speed of light.…

There is, sort of. The Cinematographers' Mailing List, in constant operation since 1996, is an old-school listserv. Its members range from non-cinematographers, to beginners, to (m…

Ok - ummm... how do you rotate the shape? :)

We have done high-level client review and approval meetings in a Horizon-style interface (Venues), with a surprising level of success. We were hesitant at first because of our clie…

If Glass is your thing, I highly recommend Idagio. It is explicitly focused on Classical, and its filtering is focused on what you'd want out of a Classical-focused search. For ins…

I usually desperately despise these "make your life better" lists. This one is well thought out, and solid. Nicely done.

No idea about NK. But re: #2 - I believe that sort of trade is regularly transacted with Iran through resellers in UAE/Dubai. US companies with overseas subsidiaries. They are lega…

Step away from goggles, glasses, etc. Start thinking about contact lenses and optical implants - the kind of stuff that requires FDA approval - medical devices - then the amount of…

100% agree. As a parent of a child with Autism, I can't stress enough the importance of strong, early intervention. We received our diagnosis at 2yrs,8mo. Our son was frankly autis…

Also, many cultures have microtonality as the basis of melody. Makam in Turkish/Ottoman classical music, Qawwali in Pakistani Sufi music, both Carnatic and Hindustani music from In…

If you're a techno composer - check out some of the great minimalist and musique concrete composers, then use the intertubez and read about how they got to their musical vision. Th…

Listen to Les, and hear the technique and round sound of Jaco Pastorius. (or at least I do.) Listen to Portrait of Tracy (or any great harmonic jazz) and you hear the same open cho…

I get your point, and of course everybody hears something different. That's music! But this particular combination is like saying, "Listen to Billy Joel and you hear piano." ;) Hou…

Listen to techno, house and tribal, and you hear Koyaanisqatsi, 18 Musicians, and the work of Glass, Reich, and Riley. Listen to Glass, Reich, and Riley - and you hear the deconstr…

I was in the room - he is a truly dynamic speaker and obviously a super-intelligent guy. I think he went off the rails a bit with the suggestion of interlacing as a potential solut…

Sales and Faith. With a pre-revenue, pre-launch company, from the entrepreneur's side, it is pure sales. And from the investor's side, it is pure faith. Build a good story, believe…

For the same reason some MDs go to work for Médecins Sans Frontières instead of a top-paying job at a private hospital or partnership. A sense of duty. I grew up in a small town do…
