Yikes. Good points. And a good time to admit that the person described is an amalgam of what I heard from (at least) two artist friends, in somewhat different industries, about things that happened in the early days of the pandemic. No actu

I have the following argument, applying market principles to discourse. There are four categories of claims: 1. Easy to hear and false 2. Easy to hear and true 2. Hard to hear and false 3. Hard to hear and true The first category is the dom

in 2015, Deep Dream hardly replaced artists. Five years later, and Imagen/Dall-E/SD are on the cusp of blowing up the entire field. Sure, the celebrity artists will be fine, but the twenty-somethings who took out 90K of debt to at

Why is this downvoted? Are we really at the stage where we simply downvote people who say things that are hard to hear? Parent is right: there's an imminent correction, and it will be unevenly distributed, because so is everything else

I have a friend who is a composer for film. She has made some of the most exquisite thought products I've ever experienced (a strange way to talk about music, but I'm trying to cleave to the OP.) She works 90 hours a week, has bee

I take great pride in achieving a -2 point rating on a post because it means that I've spoken truth to the powers that read HN. I take even greater pride in talking about commenting of comments, _contra_ the guidelines, because a rule

No one needs to -- the Free Speech Debate is not really about the government, is it? Elon didn't buy Twitter to protect it from the fed. He bought it to protect it from what he calls a "woke mind-virus" -- aka, progressive po

It's wild that HN, forum that seems disproportionately in favor of unregulated speech should feel uncomfortable when a newspaper chooses a critical editorial stance. You agree that, by your own lights , editorial stances of newspapers

You do understand that critical thinking is literally the point of journalism, right? In 2022, I'd certainly give the same directive. Our industry can and should be held to account, just like any other seat of power. (Because that&#x27

This sounds like pretty much every network admin gig I've ever had, but I'm old. My first job in 2001 involved running around trying to back up everyone's Outlook files and yeah, you see a lot of email. The tone of this comme

You've nailed it. I bailed on a MAAMA job in the states to move back to Canada. Salary expectations (and currency!) are generally lower here, but the job market itself is hotter than I've ever seen it here. My theory is that USA t

shrugs The article is as-yet unwritten -- the premiss will be that in general, the privilege of being permitted to worry about any given thing is, in an organization, the most critical plank of status. The opposite of a window seat. Pay,

The market and I agree that you are misreading things, but we can agree to disagree. By my lights, winners don't have to take all in order to have won -- approximately half the market is sufficient. Enough to dictate terms for most use

Hadn't noticed that Freetone was Semple's brainchild. It checks out and I love him for it. I dabble a bit, and Black 2.0 (havent' tried 3.0) is like magic. I also heartily recommend Semple's glow-in-the-dark pigment, but

That's just it -- I don't think there are any great interfaces, yet. Jupyter scratches only the surface of what literate experimental coding could be. I also have a back-of-napkin argument that the field is due for an invention

My advice is to get 'ML' on your resume, some way, somehow, along with some selection of: TypeScript, React, Python, C#, Java, Linux, and Kubernetes. Start with a good online free course like https://www.coursera.org&#x
