you can tell Wired has been doing good journalism lately because there's been increased whining by the extraction class about how Wired mysteriously changed in the decade since tech titans fully revealed themselves as sociopaths
from this recent Dorsey interview:
Battletech Classic • Join • • • • 3h • Serious question: how do mechs dissipate heat in the vacuum of space? The lore mentions heat sinks, but heat sinks normally rely on transferring thermal energy to a surrounding medium (air, water, coolant, etc.). In va... more

the funniest aspect of the Grammarly thing is that they rolled the dice on screwing a bunch of people who:
1) Know how to communicate their discontent well
2) Tend to lean anti-AI
3) Have large platforms to pummel you on
it's the greedy idiot picking a fight with Reacher, but for word nerds
can't discount this. It's okay to pivot to grifting now
All of this rocks! Thank you so much
damn my typos are through the roof today. *Album
also, works that are either minimalist and really pretty or more aggressive sounding might be more accessible to me. But I'm up for anything
I'm not sure exactly. I think because classical composers don't have a "discography" so to speak, I don't know where to start. That's why I kinda mentioned trying to find a longer work that might feel more like an "abum" to me.
I also bounce of the harpsichord pretty hard.
isn't it fucking crazy that they thought they were gonna get away this? I would sincerely love a breakdown of their thought process while developing this

I can't believe Grammarly did me like this. This company needs to go!
I landed that gig too early in life. I'd be so much better at it now. I was too young
I used to interview rappers for several years for a small national magazine called WonkaVision. I interviewed people like Del The Funky Homosapien, El-P (before his Run the Jewels days), Atmosphere, Girl Talk, and KRS-One
I've struggled to get into classical music in the past, but I'm trying to broaden my horizons here.
Anyone have suggestions of something I can really sink my teeth into? Not just a song, but an entire symphony or opera or something?
switching to a Kobo e-reader has been awesome. Really a first class experience. My only beef is that I haven't been able to jailbreak my Amazon Kindle books yet.
I leave them there in hopes that one day consumer protections will be a thing again
I was on a plane last night and some guy stood up and congratulated the captain when Bam broke Kobe's record. Everyone cheered.
i bet this shit sounds magical if you're fucking stupid
I feel like another thing that hasn't been spoken about at all is that even if AI was creating more efficiency, knowledge workers would never own up to it, or use that time to do more work. They would just be thankful for the breathing room and less stress

my tech boss is like this about indie music stuff. He'll just casually drop stuff like, "Oh yeah, Bjork and I were dancing on stage at this concert one time, and..." Like, okay, man, are you really concerned about these KPIs?
having one of those days where the open corruption, philistine attitiudes, and relentless lack of consequences are really getting me down, which is just a type of day I have occasionally now

I mean, if you were an immoral POS who was constantly angling to steer the senile president into an insider trading deal that could make you a millionaire over night, you would probably wear the cuck shoes, too
it's never a direct study, either. Just these giant database pulls
I also gotta see Lucrecia's percussionist live, which I'm convinced is some sort of rhythm octopus
Finally, an NBA single game scoring record scorer that can be completely verified and also wasn’t achieved by a rapist
The Bam Adebayo's 83-point game is landing the perfect balance of Horseshit and Delightful for me. Doing this sort of thing against tanking teams is ethical to me, and as likely a cure for tanking as anything the league could do in terms of messing around with the lottery odds.
Imagine having the sack to throw out a star player in the middle of what could be a preview of the NBA Finals for some bullshit because YOU made a bad call. I'm a Spurs fan, but this is total loser shit from the refs.
