Right now the biggest thing keeping me from the "you just mange dozens of agents as if they were all principal engineers" future (๐Ÿ™„) is 1) build times are not getting shorter and 2) they are truly dogshit at checking their work at a functional/code smell level

Yeah I think in general any healthy industry knows that it needs to basically pay people to suck at their jobs for a bit. I'm not going to make predictions because on this front I have just been wrong too much to feel confident anymore but nobody hiring juniors for a decade seems unsustainable

Not that Los Angeles is Manhattan, of course!

It's not the point of the article, and obviously the way water rights are handled is insane, but "we should restrict urban growth" seems exactly backwards. Isn't increasing density generally good for resource use (doesn't manhattan use like 1/5 the resources and produce 1/5 the waste of [suburb])

Q: How did you come to compose "The Microsoft Sound"?

A: The idea came up at the time when I was completely bereft of ideas. I'd been working on my own music for a while and was quite lost, actually. And I really appreciated someone coming along and saying, "Here's a specific problem -- solve it."

The thing from the agency said, "We want a piece of music that is inspiring, universal, blah- blah, da-da-da, optimistic, futuristic, sentimental, emotional," this whole list of adjectives, and then at the bottom it said "and it must be 3 1/4 seconds long."

I thought this was so funny and an amazing thought to actually try to make a little piece of music. It's like making a tiny little jewel.

In fact, I made 84 pieces. I got completely into this world of tiny, tiny little pieces of music. I was so sensitive to microseconds at the end of this that it really broke a logjam in my own work. Then when I'd finished that and I went back to working with pieces that were like three minutes long, it seemed like oceans of time.

Impossible to convince anyone of this now but every once in a while Microsoft would do something cool, like ask 90s brian eno to compose a 3.25 second song for them www.youtube.com/watch?v=miZH...

Every person's Waymo experience the same: The first 90 seconds are "wow, I cannot believe how weird this is!" which then transitions into "this is normal" where it stays forever. But with robotaxi, the experience can stay stay exciting!
