Most people. That applies to far more well known artists than him too.

I'm vaguely aware of him, and his name and how he died are fairly well known, but I couldn't name a single track if my life dependent on it.

But even with artists "everyone" listens to, most people's listening is limited enough that assuming people know their lyrics would be stupid.

How did you implement idea2img? Very cool

It’s a function of power law distribution. A lot of natural phenomena follows it.

> it’s a function of power law distribution.

People always flippantly quote this without ever looking at the distribution of the actual data.

Whenever people see an uneven distribution they cite something about power laws being that natural order of things and that ends the discussion.

It turns out in many, many cases (I'm not sure if it's particular one) the observed behavior follows nothing like a power law.

A good example of this is net-worth distributions. People often say "of course there's super rich people, that's just a power law! It's not concerning income inequality, it's nature!". But if you pull up the data and do a log-log plot you see quite clearly that it is not even close to following a power-law, and does so only at the lower 90% income quantiles. Which is funny considering the fundamental argument is that unequal distribution are natural so long as they follow a power law.

20 years is infinitely better than never. There are a lot of life-altering diseases whose future outlook is much bleaker (eg. little funding or research interest). But yea, having to wait so long definitely sucks for those currently suffering.

I still don’t understand why things need to be this way? Like, people could not be worthless. It’s theoretically possible.

I think it's getting better, but slowly, like all social change. You read books about corporate culture from 50 years ago and it's all jock stuff and personal loyalty. Now there's at least some sense of the job being actually doing the job right, even if at the moment that mostly cashes out as saying the right buzzwords.

I suspect the organization gets too big, and the communication overhead + politics takes over everything else. That is, I think it is theoretically not possible at a large organization, except in very rare circumstances where you've lucked into the right people and incentive structure. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Advantageous even if you don't have a working prototype. See Microsoft vaporware

> Now take it a step further. Inside the simulation someone introduces Hard Seltzer. The in game year is 2021 and a player just read that some NPC somewhere had just created a brain/computer interface. He rips off his headset and goes to unplug the computer because fuck this game, all the DLC clearly ruined it.

Lmao. Hard seltzer isn’t that bad

It’s proof we are in a simulation. What else but a random item generator could have come up with it?

Other countries had it for years. It's called alcopop in the UK and chuhai in Japan (except theirs goes up to 9%.)

"Alcopop" always sounded like a fake word to me but they also insist on calling vaccines "jabs".

More like a shit stack

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. Haven’t they always been able to remotely gather telemetry data and control devices? How was this achieved with network access?

QA your site. It’s breaking under the load

Fixed. That's 1 broken website fixed thanks to my services.
