Of course but we're talking about vintage control room designs here, some of which predate that investigation, so it still seems relevant to point out.
The 2600 makes it really easy to the block signal path so no sound gets out, which can be confusing. Once you learn it though it can do all kinds of tricks the MiniMoog can't.
An Arp 2600 can make two completely different sounds at the same time though and a MiniMoog can't. Bob Moog himself was a fan of the 2600.
Both are classics, still being copied to this day, but for different reasons.
Or to put it another way, a piano is harder to learn than a tambourine. That doesn't make either worse in the right circumstances.
Very true. It reminds me of the aesthetic[1] of German musician Hainbach[2]'s studio.
He makes use of a lot of early test equipment. The look is very functional but not ugly. It's not colourful but everything is well made because it's made for professionals.
OK for those that seem to dislike the suggestion that pickup trucks and SUVs kill more than cars do here's a study from the BMJ.
Specifically, with regard to the shape of the front of the vehicle:
> A large recent study in the USA found that, as compared with the low and sloping front end of a traditional passenger car, the odds of pedestrian fatality increased by 45% if the striking vehicle had a tall and sloped front end; increased by 44% if the striking vehicle had a tall and blunt front end; and increased by 26% if the striking vehicle had a medium-height and blunt front end.
That means it’s in the corporate DNA to treat laws as things for little people.
Apple have deep enough pockets that they can actually sue OpenAI but I bet OpenAI are surprised they got caught.
Now ask yourself, would the Codex agents on your machine ever over step legal boundaries? Would OpenAI ever make use of data you, voluntarily, send to their servers?
If they did could your company afford to sue OpenAI and would it still be too late to save the business?
> And you don't see the problem with allowing processes like this
Oh, I 100% see the problem with it. I think pushing draconian laws, that have already been defeated, in secret backroom deals is dodgy as.
I think you have some very valid points.
I think the centre and left just see opportunities to act without compromise, never considering that it will piss of their electorates. The electorate will reply by voting just to piss off the politicians regardless of the consequences. Just like with Brexit.
That still doesn't mean that the EU is currently worse than actual dictatorships.
> Now go enlighten us on how the EU is super democratic and way better than the worst dictatorship that ever existed, so we may be happy we are not the worst.
Well they're not rounding people because of their religion or sexuality and putting them in "retraining" camps yet. Or using "criminals" as enforced organ donors. I suppose there's that.
The EU is being a bit short-sighted and shit with regard to Chat Control but let's not loose perspective here.
I think an LLM would give a "conversational" experience to search.
That's handy for situations where you might not really understand what you need to search for. Any search system that can ask you clarifying questions is going to be a big improvement.
Or where you need to combine several steps together but you don't yet know what those steps are.
There's probably other technologies that could do that, requiring lower resources but they'll come with different trade-offs around configuration.
Just having a Raspberry PI, a offline copy wikipedia and a RAG enabled small LLM would be quite useful or at least entertaining if you have to go off grid.
No one throws Duracell during riots for a reason. Where as a small bottle, half filled with petrol, and a lit rag makes a pretty good anti-tank weapon.
A car with a tank full of gas is basically a big bomb.
Something important to remember if you come across it, never pick it up with a bare hand because it can be razor sharp and never wear gloves when using a machine tool like a lathe unless you want to loose a hand... or worse.
