music can be performed live and in person. many musicians work with other musicians, labels, studios etc. a web of trust can be built and verification via performance is a compelling option. not complete but it's certainly an option. w

I don't grant it. if you mean it is impossible to tell from the music itself, perhaps. but there are other means of verification.

however you might feel about AI generated media, flooding platforms with unlabeled slop is nothing but scammer behavior and we should take serious measures to disincentivize it for both the uploaders and service providers. I do suspect we a

Same thing happened to me and it did not default to lossy. Days later I got the "you will stop receiving email soon" warning in Gmail.

Happened to me too, almost identically. Clearly this is a pattern across the major consumer cloud app/service providers.

the last sentence is part of a paragraph specifying it "might" be better for "some players who like to hit the ball closer in" not really ignored when it's in the article. the researchers themselves are quoted sayin

I would expect them to build and staff studios and soundstages down there. Location shooting is expensive wherever you go - this is about getting away from US labor and other costs. They're not the only ones doing it either.

well, there sure was a lot in the countries involved!! they have all lobbied and argued extensively in favor of their selected name for many years, and their people do seem to feel strongly about these matters. I don't have a final ans

If you read it, you find the reasoning is this: “Any reference to the ‘Gulf of America’ initiative on your Google Maps platform must be exclusively limited to the marine area under US jurisdiction,” the letter read. “Any extension beyond th

you may believe it is a puff piece, and that's subjective, it's fine to think so. but saying it's paid for is a serious accusation and very different from "puff". big time news outlets like the NYT don't do pai

Sure as a clock, tick follows tock. Can't imagine trying to build out cost structures, business plans, product launches etc on such rapidly shifting sands. Good that you get more for your money, I suppose. But I get the feeling no mode

Wow, love this. I of course love the classic color lettering (which really is quite tasteful) but I'm going to cop a "minimalist" black style for more formal occasions!

I look forward to reading this. But anyone who thinks it's new should go back and read the first part of The Anatomy of Melancholy ; there, a fictionalized Democritus, accused of insanity, turns the accusation back on the world at lar

My mistake, I didn't see that part. I thought the tablet treatment was just something they did to prepare it for testing. Maybe the tablets kill the microfauna via microplastic overdose.

Why not both? My guess would be, they release one type of horrible thing early on, then graduate to some other horrible thing through short term degradation. We switched out plastic containers for glass and silicone for the most part some t

Looking forward to more testing like this. I've been trying to consciously avoid anything combining "hot" with "plastic" though there's only so much you can do. Fish are aggregators of this stuff so that's

I realize this is largely a lost battle but strictly speaking "disinterested" means no interest in the sense of "conflict of interest." A disinterested party has no "interest" in one outcome over another and ca

cool. i support stuff like this even if it isn't quite usable for me or, really, practical even if it was! but i like to know it's there and if it was reasonably complete i would for sure keep a stable version on my machine.

I don't know that I would agree he is above James in "quality." Wells was of course great, but he also put out a lot of trash. James may have been the more limited of the two in tone, topic, and social politics, but his work
