I went into this fully expecting that I was going to be outraged that someone can trash glass and call it art, but it actually is!

Meh I feel like this sort of misses the point. It's very cool technically but if the aim is to bring back a sense of connection to music then I'd say the execution is way off.

Music stores are struggling, if they go all that'll be left is Amazon and Spotify...

Here's my tip. Buy your kid a CD walkman, go to a music store once a month and give them a budget. If they're lost help them get started. If they make a choice they don't like then most stores will offer trade in. Eventually they'll even form a relationship with the store workers (shout at to Mark in Truck) who will give more recommendations. My son's even started listening to radio to get more inspiration and we pumped all of our money into the local economy...

This is a good question. I did Googling. Here is what I found:

From the US Federal Bureau of Prisons: https://www.bop.gov/about/facilities/federal_prisons.jsp

    > Minimum security institutions, also known as Federal Prison Camps (FPCs), have dormitory housing, a relatively low staff-to-inmate ratio, and limited or no perimeter fencing. These institutions are work- and program-oriented.
The Elizabeth Holmes Wiki page says she is staying here: Federal Prison Camp, Bryan (Texas).

Check out this Wiki quote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Prison_Camp,_Bryan

    > FPC Bryan along with FPC Lewisburg and FPC Lompoc have the lowest security rating of all the federal institutions, other than community corrections centers as those are known as halfway houses. Due to the low classification, most of these facilities have no fence and a low staff-to-inmate ratio.
No fence!

Oh, it looks like Ghislaine Maxwell (of Jeffrey Epstein fame/infamy) is also staying there.

The hardest bit of that Camp Bryan wiki is this disparity.

Ruby Jane McMillan - part of a meth supply ring. Sentenced to 38 months, completed less than 2 years.

Laurel Yurchick - had 50g of meth on her. Sentenced with intent to supply to 10years - not due for parole until 2029.

So one was clearly higher in the supply chain yet got sentenced to a third of the time?

6F Jiffy Bag. Still the best case for a 13inch MB Air.

Of all the technologies I got exposure to on my Comp Sci degree, SVG is the only one I really still use every day.

It still feels like the more context the agents have the worse the response becomes - and simulataneously the more money ends up being thrown at Anthropic. I have to handhold agents to get anywhere near stuff I actually want to commit with my name on.

I just replied to someone else about this. I had exactly the same challenge with my first newborn. Simply sitting in a chair for hours is really mentally taxing and a huge waste of time. Good for you, that you've found something that doesn't get in a way of helping your child to fall asleep.

Baby sling and a standing desk! Get's a little uncomfy in the heat, but I could pretty much do a whole workday - with a couple of feeding breaks, and milk for the baby of course ;).

Isn't the site itself that UI that it's created??
royletron · a year ago
Dunno. It's not totally obvious to me, so I suspect others will struggle too.

My main complaint with the original half life 2 was that the floors weren't shiny enough, so I'm glad to see this has finally been rectified.
royletron · a year ago
But this is sooooo shiny!

As a developer I went onto this page expecting to see some UI that it's created... That's usually my first port of call with any of this stuff, does it pump out something that's actually useful.

I might not be your target demo, but feedback's feedback!
