This was my initial reaction as well. I have been thoroughly invested in the craft of software engineering for 3+ decades. From the blog posts mentioned in the all the way back to Byte magazine at the library as a 10 year old. But those days appear to be perhaps behind us now, as suggested in the article. I am grieving it, despite the fact I have embraced LLMs for creating software.

But I refuse to use LLMs for things like making music. I like your term "purely human". There's no place for fancy statistical engines in human art. Art belongs to human communities and human culture. Which is where, apparently, I will continue to find my refuge if not my living.

I believe efcore is really well designed and handles the ORM tradeoffs in a very usable and mostly efficient way. And someone would have to pry LINQ out of my cold, dead hands. SQL is fine and I'm glad I know it. But I thank god I almost never have to use it.

It's a single piezo pickup per string

I think the parent was referring to the Variax, which models guitars, not amps. That line has been discontinued, sadly for me who plays one. I hadn't thought of using AI to reverse engineer the modeling, implemented in firmware in the guitar. That could be interesting.

If claude says "load bearing" once more, I think I'll vomit.

I really enjoy and appreciate how @yaxu does work in both textiles and live coding. I appreciate the abstractions he explores and I think it directly benefits the Tidal/Strudel projects.

Getting easier to avoid buying their oil. One of the reasons I switched to an EV.

Pretty sure most corn is grown for animal feed. We could help by eating less - or no - meat.

Whether or not someone is allowed to distribute creative works without the permission of the author, the point of copyright, is and will contribute to be independent of the technology used to do the distribution.

Making a copy in RAM, cache etc does not involve distributing it to other people.

I don’t disagree with the ruling. IA is not lending their copy that they purchased. They are lending a copy of their copy. While that copy is lent out, they are still free to, I.e. read the copy in their possession.

One of the main reasons I choose to shop at Aldi is that when I am in the store, I feel like the customer vs. feeling like the product at Kroger. Shopping at Kroger (or Walmart, etc.) feels like I am being assaulted.

Heard they have outstanding mountain bike trails and other good outdoor activity options.
