Sure, but that's just Sturgeon's Law.

Isn't that what peertube is for?

I can see how this might be true if an AI can respond to individual cues from a single kid, which a teacher can't reliably do because they have to look after 30 kids at once.

I'm skeptical that those cue responses will be reasonable though. Maybe in the mean, but I reckon there's gonna be some wild and potentially traumatic edge cases.

I'm not convinced that's the screenwriters' fault. I think more likely its that the mainstream movie industry knows that pastiche crap is what is most profitable, so that's all it funds.

Similar with pop music. Most stuff that gets made is garbage. But it doesn't mean that amazing stuff isn't being made, it's just that you have to hunt for it.

Movies are worse because the resource and people requirements for a single movie are much more substantial than for a single album.

True. That would be a minescule fraction of what's there though..

It's funny how we all grow up thinking that law is this immutable set of rules that can't be broken or bad things happen to you..

Reality is there's no rules, there's just power, and some vague guidelines that might tell you how that's power's going to be used. And if it seems like the power won't be able to use those guidelines for their own benefit, then they'll get them changed.

I’m sure it was really nice prior to the late 15th century

CO is not a significant greenhouse gas. (And N20 is..)

Are diamond particulates likely to burn if they're dispersed in the atmosphere?

Y'all need to talk more

I fucking hate that this is a sensible question to ask every time now

Made some EDM today. Bit wack, but fun. All done on the dirtywave m8, samples self-recorded.

I've been a linux user for 20 years (mostly on KDE). I just started at a new job, and they gave me a mac. I found out later that I could have got a linux machine instead, which is a bit annoying. Still, I know there are some nice things about a mac, and I figured I'd give it a try for a while.

I'm pretty quick moving around my desktop environment, and I'm finding picking up the mac is not too bad. BUT I use keyboard shortcuts a lot, and they are all every different on a mac. So whenever I switch back and forth between my work machine, I end up stumbling a bunch and wasting my time, and getting annoyed. It's mostly keyboard shortcuts, but the trackpad buttons and scrolling are annoying too.

So, question is: is it possible to regularly use two OSs with wildly different control surfaces, and be comfortable with it? e.g. either MacOS + Linux, or I guess MacOS + Windows? Or will it be annoying forever?

 

When you're reading or listening to verbal material ( e.g. fiction, nonfiction, prose, poetry, lyrics, etc.), what kind of imagery has the most impact?

Imagery in the broad sense (including all senses, not just sight).

"Kind" can be whatever categorisation you can think of, e.g. genre, sense, place, scale, human/non-human, etc.
