Those are all great books/stories. But they are all off the mark for the AI bubble.

The book you wanna read is John Steinbeck’s The Grapes Of Wrath.

The name of the bridge is pretty funny

Presumably a massive construction near by could have contributed to destabilisation?

I don’t think that’s related to water use though, is it? Isn’t it just a weight of the city thing?

Edit: I was wrong, thanks for the corrections!

I don’t think the focus should be on the average current Linux user. Guaranteed that if Linux gained substantial market share, the fraction of tinkerers would dwindle substantially

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)

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

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

Damn, when the German press can say this, the AP should really pick up their game

I think it’s easy to forget the scale and momentum of the thing… But yeah, the longer we go without scaling back our energy and resource consumption the harder we’re gonna hit that wall.

Not sure if you’re celebrating because that’s earlier than you thought, or later than you thought…

Any good broad-scale critique fro anthropologists that’s worth reading? I’ve only read one of his books, nearly 20 years ago, but most of what I’ve heard him say has seemed more or less on point.

Totally. I assume his error margin is about 30 times that difference

Multi-million dollar advertising budgets from apple and Microsoft. Coordinated campaigns to embed those systems in education institutions and workplaces.

Sounds like that shit with dodgy smoking detection in a hotel from last week…

Thank you for explaining in detail what I meant by the very first part of my comment.

Not quite what you want, but in dolphin you can open a terminal with F4, and then just type sudo deb -i <package.deb> and your password. Pretty quick.

I think this one is more subliminal than the others… Usually they’re just trying to deflect and distract and using accusations to do it… This time he’s legitimately annoyed and just being honest.

Not that there’s much practical difference…
