Oh yeah, I saw that a while back. Hilarious! Also kind of unusual (though lots of people have used smaller samples from toys and instruments)
- Comment on A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman 1 day ago:
All good, was just wondering.
I do DJ (non-professionally). I generally think there are two skills with DJing:
- Taste, library management and music choice, which is not a technical skill, but does take a bit of effort in preparing for a set
- Actual technical mixing skills, which many DJs (including me) barely have, but some take to a level that is on basically a form of musicianship.
I don’t think AI can really help you do either… but I guess it could make a mixed set and you could pretend to play it, like a Casio keyboard
- Comment on A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman 1 day ago:
Are you speaking from experience? 'Cause that’s not even vaguely related to how any of the DJs I know (including a couple of professionals) got started. The prime motive for most DJs is sharing cool music, and Casio keyboards don’t do that…

Vision is a strong word. I think it’s a vague idea in most cases

Bioregions would make a lot more sense. Use catchments and biome boundaries, because those are the units that need coherent management. They would correspond a bit, but not quite.

Isn’t the city centre usually defined as the post office?
- Comment on Mapping Australia by the Nearest City with a Population of 100,000 or More 5 days ago:
It’s a Voronoi diagram. It’s nearest distance (in a straight line, not by road).
- Comment on Delusions of a Protocol 5 days ago:
I don’t believe that’s true… It currently has around 9k servers, but I think the vast majority of those will have less than 10 users.
Anyway, there’s currently about 1m active users, so the real question is will it scale by 3 orders of magnitude? And my point being that I’d expect the network to become more connected as it scales (at least for the main archipelago, which is probably always going to house a majority of users).
- Comment on Delusions of a Protocol 6 days ago:
Is that really true though? Say we end up with 10k servers with 100-1000 users each, even if only 10% of those users have a connection to a server that no one rose on their server is connected to, that’s still a highly connected network.
Then add boosts from other servers (that incentivise cross-network follows)…
- Comment on Delusions of a Protocol 6 days ago:
I like this take, but I wonder if there’s eventually a combinatoric problem with having hundreds of thousands of small instances, each with thousands of connection to other instances? I have no idea how that relates to the network/computational constraints…

Is your argument here that your preferred way to deal with cockroaches is to let them have the run of your house? Hard to red anything rose out of that, given the context.

Yes, absolutely. Both are possible. Different peoplwith different experiences and tendencies operate differently.

- Comment on do you apologize, even if it's not your fault just to make the other person feel validated? 4 weeks ago:
Then I’ll do it. If it doesn’t cost me too much. I can’t see someone else’s perspective really, but I can at least be empathetic…
- Comment on do you apologize, even if it's not your fault just to make the other person feel validated? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s always gotta be true to some extent… If not, then the apology is gonna be insincere anyway. But it doesn’t mean that the regret has to be massive for you for the apology to be valid or useful.
- Comment on do you apologize, even if it's not your fault just to make the other person feel validated? 5 weeks ago:
I get that this is a joke, but there’s a good point there too: I don’t give apologies because they were demanded, if give them because I can see that they’d help improve the situation.
- Comment on do you apologize, even if it's not your fault just to make the other person feel validated? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, I’m definitely assuming good faith above. I’m lucky that I’m mostly surrounded by people for whom that assumption makes sense.
- Comment on do you apologize, even if it's not your fault just to make the other person feel validated? 5 weeks ago:
Yes… Apologies aren’t about fault for me. They are about recognising other’s suffering, and possibly about acknowledging my contribution to that situation.
The apology isn’t about you, it’s about the other person, and showing you care about them.

No. You can read signs. Like foot prints, or fire scars. Or you can count actually objects before you invent tallying.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Relationships are complex. What’s “cheating” for some people is fine for others. And there’s usually a million factors complicating everything. Maybe you’re mum’s a bit naive, maybe she’s bang on. Both can be true in different ways.
