what about for blob storage too?

> Especially if you go beyond Type-I cassettes

Yea, I use Type II cassettes to record on my Tascam 246. I did an experiment where I recorded a track I made digitally to tape and then back into the DAW. I A/B'd them and struggled to differentiate. That being said, I have used some really poor quality Type II tapes, where the difference was obvious.

There is a conceptual difference between a blob of text drafted by a person and a dynamically generated blob of text initiated by a human, generated through multiple LLM calls that pull in information from targeted resources. Perhaps "dynamically generated prompts" is more fitting than "context", but nevertheless, there is a difference to be teased out, whatever the jargon we decide to use.

I wonder if you can use an existing svg as a starting point. I would love to use the sketch approach and generate frame-by-frame animations to plot with my pen plotter.

This is somewhat validating to read as someone who started semi recently.

it's their unused treadmill in the living room they bought back in November

Get a degree in STEM, they said. Don't want to end up flipping burgers, they said.

Additionally, I would say more historical emphasis within STEM itself would be beneficial. Motivate through context. Show students that the concepts arose from people solving problems.

Similar camp. Two reasons I enjoy Python, both related to documentation:

1. docstrings

2. keyword arguments

Docstrings mean I can do REPL experiments without the additional friction of opening a browser to RTFM. Keyword arguments reduce how much I have to lookup the semantics of a function's signature.

what a discombobulating way to say "clarifying" :)

The feed used to be a simple chronological timeline. Then it evolved into whatever stochastic mess it is now in an attempt to maximize user engagement and ad views. So they've turned the notifications into essentially a mini version of the old news feed which (big surprise) is damn noisy.

That's the first I've heard of the dead internet theory. Seems plausible. I deleted my social media around 2016. About a year ago, I created a new instagram account. My account is not private, and I'd reckon that over 50% of my followers are bots.

more in addition to what?
