40k years from now, a hominid excavates a computer and materializes a login page in the ether. "We think they used this for ritual sacrifice or to brush their teeth or both."

A more accurate analogy is Charles and Henry Greene using tech to construct an intricate rig to fasten the joints in a delicate jewelry box to fit inside the Gamble House. Yes, they could make the rig by hand, but time is a precious resourc

Love love love this. So much wisdom I wish I’d had 30 years ago. Here’s the tl;dr in my opinion, with my own paraphrase: > Approach [life] with curiosity and generosity, not transactional hustle. Everything else essentially follows.

Also learn the Heimlich maneuver if you can. It’s easy to learn and you don’t need to be certified. Never thought I’d need it but I saved my brother’s life many years ago. An outlier for sure given about 6,000 people in the US die from chok

Imagine what they’ll say 600,000 years from now. “Humans began to acquire knowledge around the time of Dacro and the Second Wormhole Leap. The farther back we go…”

On a related note (la), if this floats your ice cream, you might be interested in Ben Houge's Food Opera sound/dining experiments ( http://www.audiogustatory.com/ ).

My daily meditation: “Now when we fought you had the eye of the tiger, man—the edge—and now you’ve got to get it back, and the way to get it back is to go back to the beginning, you know what I mean?” RIP Carl.

This comment was the best roller coaster I've ridden in a long time. Thank you for the great writing. I can't stop laughing.

This answer unlocked a principle in my thinking about a certain class of problems I’ve been struggling with in a different domain. Thank you!

FWIW, I used Suica on Apple Wallet on my iPhone 12 in July of this year. Adding money to the card required a debit card tied to my bank. Payment failed with a Visa credit card. Additionally, payment only worked during Japan business hours.

Toyoda Automatic Loom Works had the jidoka system which automatically stopped the loom when a thread broke[0] preventing downstream production issues. Later used in the Toyota Production System. 0. https://en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F

Even so, it feels like an off-brand article for The Paris Review, in both content and style. I’d be interested in learning the context.

> Your airports have security because your leaders learned the same things on 9/11 that the US did. I have to imagine that politics and power plays also contributed to these changes, as they did with the creation of Homeland Securit

Isn't that a "No True Scotsman" argument?

I think it's hyperbolic to call it a waste of time. I think the book (and the related books and principles) deserve a critical reading. In the first section titled "Using This Book" he mentions several important details that

I love seeing the world through new frames like this. I think it's refreshing, and forces a rethink of what I think I know. At the same time, without a critical examination of the idea, these things have a nasty habit of becoming the n

Agree on all fronts. Would also add Oh My God just for the Busta Rhymes inclusion.

If I had to pick one ATCQ track that satisfies the condition, I'd pick "Jazz (We've Got)" which has a couple of samples from "Green Dolphin Street" plus the drums from "Don't Change Your Love".

FWIW, whatever issues the BF franchise had in the past, BF42 is super fun today, and stole me away from multiplayer Halo Infinite, which is also pretty great.

Okay, they really did themselves in by mentioning examples because all I can think about now are some of my favorites they didn't mention. One of my favorite breakdowns of not only drums but also the writing and recording process is Do

Counterpoint[0]: I have a master's degree in composition and I don't play any instruments at a decent level of performance. I would say the requisite skill is knowing how instruments sound, how they sound together, where their lim

The next few stops on this train will be interesting. 1. The first round of plugins that will connect CGPT to the cloud platforms in order to run code directly. Because there’s no need to copy/paste on my own machine. With cloud costs

Short-sighted employers will probably cut staff. The other more likely scenario is that teams will be asked to produce more work faster by letting AI handle the boilerplate. Creative directors and producers will run a lot more experiments w
