I’ve been using gptel, I’ll have it generate org babel blocks I can tangle (write to files) or have it use tools to write and edit files in the project I’m working in, and then review with magit.

What recommendations do you have for AI artists doing genuinely interesting work, or good places to find them?

Try gptel-mode - your chats are in org buffers, and you can save/restore sessions easily. Also plays nicely with mcp.el for more tooling access.

Maybe this from Clay Shirkey: https://livinginliminality.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/gin.p...

I’d be interested to hear your opinion after reading the book, he covered a lot of what you mention. The burning is covered, but then it goes back and goes over everything leading up to that to frame it and put the act in context, and IIRC talks a bit about things after.

Array.isArray is available in the runtime, but it was a later addition so folks may be downloading it for compatibility. There is a LOT of that in the javascript ecosystem.

85-90dB seems to be the where the concerns for hearing damage start, if sustained for 8+ hours.

vi: runs everywhere, installed by default on most linux distributions.

emacs: incredibly customizable, you can re-write the way your editor works. Some features that I find important: editing files remotely over SSH, running a shell inside the editor (so the same editing commands work in the shell), easy to write custom file finding functions for searching different parts of a codebase, git integration (a semi-GUI interface to git), and if another editor has a feature, someone has probably created a package that adds that functionality to emacs. Also has tetris and pong.

In an audition, musicians are usually asked to play a mix of prepared and sight-read pieces (though sometimes the sight reading is from standard repertoire, so they may have encountered before). Both are helpful in discerning how qualified the musician is. And sight-reading is incredibly important for most jobs musicians get hired for - in most freelance situations, they'd get a 3 hour rehearsal, or essentially a guided run through of the performance, then they play the gig. So that may not be an accurate analogy, given that writing on the fly isn't part of the programming repertoire - most programmers are allowed to think before they write anything down. Also musician's don't write - performing is very different than writing- so perhaps a composer would be a better analogy.

Maybe it would be a more accurate measure of ability to ask software engineering applicants to read code and explain what it does, or to judge them as you'd judge a composer, by their portfolio.

IANAL either, but easements[1] may apply here, depending on how broadband cable is classified.

And I'm not remembering the terms for this, but I've heard there are situations where your neighbor building his fence on your land and you not taking action within a certain amount of time would cede that part of your land to your neighbor.

I use that chair too (at home). Just about everyone who's visited and tried it said it was one of the most comfortable chairs they've used. Only disadvantage (for me at least) is that the arm rests aren't adjustable, but they are removable.

They also mention in the post that the old violins were shipped, and no adjustments made, which means bridges could be improperly positioned, sound posts in poor positions... having these properly adjusted can make the difference between a great sounding instrument and a screech.

Try selecting the missiles so that they equal the number of the bug (missiles are binary, bug numbers are hex). The box on the lower right shows you what you've selected.

There's also one inside Stonestown Mall: http://www.stonestowngalleria.com/search?search-query=apple

One benefit is that it allows rent control. Without this, the arguments in favor of rent control go out the window - if the tenant can make significantly more renting out the apartment than they are currently paying, there's no legitimate reason to force their landlord to charge below market rents.

Calibre does a decent job converting HTML into ePub, if you download all the pages, though sometimes the navigation on every page can get annoying.

I think he means this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_console

One advantage traditional notation has over this is that the modifiers are a lot larger and more visible. For sight reading, notation needs to be easily scannable and irregularities (like sharps and flats) need to be highly visible. Connecting the beams on eighth and sixteen notes also serves to group the notes according to beat, and that makes parsing a measure much easier (also easier to skip ahead when you mess up). Neat idea though.

Also for me (former jazz saxophonist), find a lot of similarities between using and transforming data structures and thinking about how chords are related and how they resolve and transform through a progression. If only jazz paid better...

Ha - been looking for an easy way to do this for a bit. Thanks!

Interesting that this is using jQuery, and doesn't seem to be using YUI at all. You'd think they'd be showing off their own frameworks...

You could however make quite a lot of 3min music videos for the cost of an Avatar (237m according to Wikipedia). If it cost 2m per video, you could make 100 for less than the cost of an avatar, and even if only half of these made the 70m you mention, you'd still have grossed 3.5 billion.

I'd be interested in that too - Versions is great, though not perfect. Looks like one thing Cornerstone has is a built-in diff tool: http://www.zennaware.com/cornerstone/index.php

Does't iTunes Genius already gather information on what songs you own (and how often you listen to them)? I don't see how this is more of a threat - unless Genius is only gathering info on songs purchased through the iTunes store.

My girlfriend does exactly the same thing. I wonder if its a gender thing? Her PC kept freezing, but she loves her new Mac Air.

There's also a real city in CA by that name, so people may assume you mean that, not SF.
