Its been a while since I worked with MATLAB and others. Whats up with GNU Octave these days? IIRC thats what folks were championing 10 years ago when anyone was talking about the problems with MATLAB.

I'm guessing he's suggesting the AI can be a conversation buddy anytime you want, and also point out your mistakes so you can learn from them.

imo this would be awesome and a game changer

A moat based on an aging population isn't much of a moat

The mighty ed has spoken!

or regular hair cell department

I think he was agreeing with you

Kinda a reductionist answer. They are traded on Bitcoin exchanges, because people think they are valuable, because x y and z etc.

you'd probably need a particle accelerator or something

Yeah I've heard that Bitwig could be a good solution, and is made by the original developers of Ableton.

But what about 3rd party plugins? As far as I understand, most of these won't work on Linux either.

Once upon a time blob detection was considered "AI"

I would love to to use Linix as my daily driver, but keep needing to go back to Windows for Ableton and gaming.

Who designs the interfaces that the tests call?

How would this work when substantial equity is involved? It makes sense that if you drop your hours, your salary would drop in proportion. But if a substantial amount of your total comp is from unvested equity, it doesn't makes as much sense. Your employer can't take away unvested equity, right? If so it seems like your employer would have much less incentive to want to do something like this - you may be working half as much, but your total comp only drops by like 25% or something.

Very similar for me - there is also a direct line from me reading that article to me being a software engineer today.

They aren't looking for electronics - they are looking for large masses that could be fuel for the explosives. Big blocks of clay, liquids, etc. A jumble of electronics alone with nothing that can actually explode is common and doesn't ring any alarm bells. I discovered this after talking to a TSA agent after flying a few times with my modular synthesizer, where I was surprised that it was never pulled for extra screening.

I have mixed feelings about TipTop. On one hand, I really like their modules, and when one of the buttons on my Circadian Rhythm sequencer died, they sent me another for just the cost of shipping.

On the other hand, I broke one of my TipTop modules by accidentally plugging the power in backwards (they should really add reverse power protection), and the identifiers on the chips are all scratched off, so I have no way of identifying the chip I fried in order to replace it. Mind you this is a module cloned from a Roland 909, so it's not even like this is an original design.

Any resources for this?

Not micro in the sense of penny transactions.

I went to a sleep specialist for delayed sleep disorder. He told me to take 1mg of melatonin about 6 hours before bed, and to wear sunglasses at night when around lights.

Nobody is being forced to hire him.

Why is it stagnating though? Lack of talent? Lack of funding? Is it that all the lowest hanging fruit is gone and the problems are becoming intractable to solve?

An even smaller first step is Java -> RxJava, to start thinking in streams of data and transformations of that data.

There's a traditional of using Latin names for species classification, so maybe H. P. Lovecraftus

I'd still want to create. Maybe something with my hands. Being a luthier or cordwainer sounds attractive. Assuming money were no issue, perhaps a musician.

I imagine he could develop it, though.

> I realized it was an empty echo chamber of inaction. If anything you say can be interpreted in a way that the hivemind can destroy you over, they will do it, even with incomplete information and little to no proof.

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

More filthy than earth, though?

Ah brings back memories of my college days when I would go to the library at night when the computer labs were empty, check out a dozen dvds on 4 hour loan, and use a separate computer to rip each one at the same time.

The VM they both run on is the same - so you'd have to know some basics about that regardless. You'll also have to learn how to read Erlang syntax since there are many 3rd party Erlang libraries you can use from Elixir. The syntax is slightly different from Elixir, but the mental models are pretty much the same, so it's really not that difficult to get a working knowledge of reading Erlang.

How would vitamin B supplementation compare? I know there has been a lot of shitposting in the last few years how "multivitamins don't work", but I have a hard time actually believing it.
