Fascinating! Where is this data stored? I love the idea of a Tree DB queried via TreeSQL.

Probably the last truly great classical improviser on piano was Anton Rubinstein (1829-1894). His Fantaisie in E minor, Op. 77 is probably the pinnacle of his skill in (notated) improvisation.

After that, the great classical improvisers were probably organists in the 20th century, like Marcel Dupré (1886-1971) and Pierre Cochereau (1924-1984). Cochereau created vast, highly personal, symphonic forms with dazzling orchestral registration.

Have you seen Spaceballs? Halfway through the movie they stop the story to fast-forward through the VHS of the movie itself.

Only if you take no pleasure in good writing.

The stack is really a convenience that makes pipeline-driven programming possible in the language.

Another victory for Marxism.

I suspect there is a high correlation between those who oppose mandatory bike helmet laws and antivaxxers.

"... dead spotted crawling down ice ... " :-o

The world's elites have factored in global warming already. It's a cost they are happy to shift onto their descendants.

Makes me think of Quatermass ...

I love that it embraces standoff properties for rich text markup.

I fondly remember that time I got the flu shot in my childhood and never had to get a flu shot again.

Thank goodness viruses never mutate!

Mobile data.

"Limiting training data to public domain books and drawings created more than a century ago might yield an interesting experiment, but would not provide AI systems that meet the needs of today's citizens."

They need a new market. This is precisely the kind of AI system I'd love to use.

Alternative title: "What we should do about the mentally ill homeless".

"In a nutshell, the problem is this: You’re conscious. But if you’re just made of non-conscious matter, why and how exactly could consciousness arise from that?"

Another way of phrasing it which highlights the fallacy is:

"In a nutshell, the problem is this: You’re alive. But if you’re just made of non-alive matter, why and how exactly could life arise from that?"

Just because we don't know exactly how life arose from non-biotic matter doesn't mean that non-biotic matter is alive. And just because we don't know how consciousness arose, exactly, doesn't mean that all matter is conscious.

As soon as you have kids that depend on you the answer is "yes".

You may be interested in Solid JS which also offers reactivity without a virtual DOM ..

For interest, here is WYSIWYG standoff property text editor in JS. It allows changes to the text stream and management of annotations (called here "standoff properties").

Except that Caravaggio wasn't a Renaissance artist as he worked in the Baroque period.

Absolutely right.

Unlike Michelangelo he wasn't: - a sculptor - an architect - a poet - or a military engineer

What aesthetic criteria will they appeal to to justify that?

When you spend decades erasing the definition of art you can't act surprised when someone finds ways to exploit it ...

...... Or they could be offered an Australian visa and repatriated for their service.

Wikipedia.

In what ways is it post-modern? Does it provide a Derridean deconstruction of language?
