You can do a pay to play where anyone who can’t follow on at a certain price gets wiped out

I worked at the British Museum and there were rooms upon rooms of priceless objects. I remember a golden Buddha with the tags and wrapping still on it from Sotheby’s in the 1920s.

At that time, you could also just check out a piece and leave a little card there saying you’d taken it.

I was wondering this - I'd buy this if I could just plug it into my existing sockets. I'm pretty sure you could get 50-100 hrs with a battery, but I wonder if you could have something that you wind-up like a mechanical watch.

I wonder if the name was inspired by the Gemini logo https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcThr7qr...

Deleuze would argue something similar

This is hilariously similar to the ploy George Smiley gets Ricki Tarr to orchestrate from Paris in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Isn’t MQ pretty good?

It's very interesting. I am extremely sensitive to THC, in a way I am not to any other drugs. A small amount (5mg) gives me full on disassociation/derealization, very anxious thoughts, etc.

I always wondered if other people had the same experience of THC as I did, but responded _psychologically_ differently to me, or if it was a _physiologically_ different experience. It was very confusing during high school.

Bizarrely I've found this react to weed much more common in the UK than California. There would be no reason for that to be true, though.

I have great memories playing kz_ maps for hours in 2005. The amount of skill of some people was mind blowing. Something nostalgic about the feeling of being alone in a kz map at 3am and then hearing someone else hopping around.

I'm curious how dangerous it would be to drink the wine?

To quote mark fisher “…It is driven by a priest’s desire to excommunicate and condemn, an academic-pedant’s desire to be the first to be seen to spot a mistake, and a hipster’s desire to be one of the in-crowd.”

Blast from the past seeing h0no mentioned.. Brings me back to days of darpanet/m00/#darknet/dikline

Yes, the piping in my parents’ house is all lead, but not worth replacing due to the above. It’s pretty common in old houses in Britain

absolutely. i have an sy99 and they often go for less or equal to a dx7, and they are much more of a powerhouse. can't recommend enough

Have you tried the Yoto player? Our daughter loves hers and they are pretty cheap. You can load them with your own mp3s too, which we download from BBC Sounds.

My favourite part of this is when they apply their new words to things that technically make sense, but don't. My daughter proudly pointed at a king wearing a crown as "sharp king" after learning about knives, saws, etc.

This is really sad, MixesDB is one of the best products I use on an almost daily basis.

One side effect of this I remember was that, for a little while, there was a blackmarket of buying MP3s on CD at car boots and flea markets. My dad came home once with a CD with all the Beatles songs. He had paid something like £15 and thought he'd got a deal of his life.

I also wonder which year it stopped being an acceptable Christmas present to give someone a burned CD.

Soulseek is absolutely awesome at this. Why don't the record labels shut it down? Have they just given up on P2P?

Oh man I totally did this. I got really nice emails back from Jello Biafra and Sole from Anticon as an angsty teenager.

Thank you so much I'll check that out.

Awesome work! One thing I'm curious about in this space is why people generally generate the sound form directly. I always imagined you'd get better results teaching the model to output parameters which you could feed into synths (wavetable/fm/granular/VA), samplers, and effects, alongside MIDI.

You'd imagine you could estimate most music with this with less compute and higher determinism and introspection. Is it because there isn't enough training data for the above?

Why don't high quality open-source solvers exist? The SOTA in other numerical computing is often open-source. I've always wondered why optimization was different.

Was always told it was ready when you could pull it's flesh off with two sticks. Then to be eaten bloody rare. It's delicious in that style but you don't see high pheasant served much anymore unfortunately.

That said, you hang pheasants prior to plucking and gutting, so they are still sealed; feels odder hanging a plucked bird like a chicken. I'm not sure if the former is in fact safer?

Out of interest, if the above were proved to be true, could she theoretically bring a gender discrimination case -- even if the whole thing is a massive fraud which she was complicit to?

I built a custom stylesheet which makes old reddit mobile friendly (basically to look like an app). I'll throw it up if anyone is interested, I was going to build a webview app which just uses old reddit to provide an app-like experience.

If you're looking for an easy way to build an HTML report using Python, you might find Datapane (https://github.com/datapane/datapane) helpful. I'm one of the people building it! We don't support polars (yet, on the roadmap) but we do support pandas so you can convert to a pandas DataFrame and include your data and any plots, etc.

Especially when you can buy a Behringer Model-D with the 'same' circuitry for £225.
