“Security thru obscurity” - the TAM of boutique, specialist gear is small enough to deter most profit-motivated copycats.

Waiting on the Behringer OP-B tho I guess :)

Frame this - iconic. How many people would you estimate are deserving of your judgement? “Billions”?

It sounds like you’re expecting ideal operating conditions indefinitely?

Agreed. Stewardship of the angular ecosystem is lacking. Versioning across first-party @angular packages isn’t consistent. Some @angular packages are in permanent beta for unknown reasons. Anything besides the latest release is abandonware.

Did you chime in to tell us you’ve yet to finish it? That’s pretty funny too

We can’t be critical of the datasets used for testing if we don’t know what’s in them.

The same applies to training data - it should be disclosed.

What happens when there’s 100x the content, often indistinguishable from alike content, but demand remains the same?

It’s on Gutenberg https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/815/pg815-images.html#l...

Those dang irrational personal choices!

All models are wrong, but some keep your hopes closer

Centrism is a meta-heuristic concerned only with who said what. It’s no surprise that many people find centrist beliefs superficial & uninformed.

> I suspect a human touch is still needed

This is the motivated reasoning of a comfortable person.

AI will eat the Protagonist Jobs too, sooner rather than later.

Human managers (who are good at their jobs) bring a little Bedside Manner, a modicum of compassion to Human Resource Allocation that will soon be seen as a luxury compared to low-cost, fully-automated Human Resource Monitoring & Reinforcement Systems

You’re speculating. You have no experience with fiscal or monetary policy. You’re a glorified salesman!

“we should obviate things I find distasteful, but my livelihood must be preserved”

> absolute purity doesn't leave a route for daily coders writing regular programs to do their jobs

This speaks to the muscle memory of daily coders way more than to the details of FP/OO.

You could easily make the same argument about “absolute encapsulation”.

The opera singer shatters the wine glass with a humming

“Sycophantic” to whom?

A dark, desert highway, huh? Cool wind in yr hair? :)))

Do you truly believe yr StableDiffusion Americana is “not like what anyone else is making”? You’ve got some knots to untangle :)

Sure, but how are you less cynical than others here?

The author on occasion also publishes a journal about " the Lisp family of programming languages and little-languages in general", which is worth a look.

But where will Norway source their compulsory, unpaid labor if not from private prisons clogged with drug war causalities?

Netflix is money, but the real DRM atrocities will surface in the ed-tech long tail.

Computers are the tools of modern librarianship.

The US is full of people who refer to "this country" online. :D

For fun, try decoding sequences of the "police" emoji of varying length. :D

Denying something out of dogma is basically the definition of virtue.

This is a language problem: people with emotions hear "value" & recognize a (for lack of a better term) moral component to the implied judgement, where finance people are happy to confuse "value" with "wealth" or "profit" or "money" or "power" or "IGMFU". This confusion allows economic arguments to fall back on economic arguments when confronted with moral opposition & it's worked for centuries.

IANAL, but it's worth noting that libraries have particular usage rights regarding printed materials that they give up entirely when moving to an ebook licensing scheme.
