Lol of course you get downvoted by a bunch of well off software engineers.

So many here are so fucking full of shit.

"I make 150k a year man, its not fair man, we need more communism"

I would try Jazzmeia Horn on vocals. She is an absolute monster.

Mark Guiliana on drums is as good as anyone ever too.

If you don't like So What without an explanation then I just don't think it is for you.

I love lamb vindaloo too but if you take a bite and don't like it..maybe a few repeated exposures might adjust your palette or it just might not be to your taste.

Nothing wrong with that. So What though was just instant love for me.

It certainly helps to be a musician though too. I can't really separate Coltrane's playing from the appreciation for his virtuosity.

I am huge fan of Sheila Maurice-Grey and Kokoroko. She plays super chill like Miles too.

I would put Cassie Kinoshi on sax as my fav sax player too.

I don't know how any Jazz fan could not love Kokoroko.

America has a warrior culture even though we pretend to not be. Even though there are few times in our history we were not involved in a war.

A huge % of the population spends Sundays watching enormous men try to kill each other in American football play war.

If athletics aren't your thing then you probably are going to war in business or the arts.

If none of these are your things and American, there is a really good chance you are at war with yourself.

> America has a warrior culture

I've always felt this but didn't have a catchy enough to put it ^^

You could look into the actual baroque guitar too.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baroque_guitar

For modern guitar, there are many transcriptions of Bach and Silvius Leopold Weiss lute music.

The problem with Bach is the 1100 pieces he has. It took me so long to hear things I really loved.

For me, it is his lute music that really shows his genius.

Part of the problem with the classical masters is we speak as if we love all their work the same.

I love Pink Floyd too but that doesn't mean I think all Pink Floyd albums are equal.

I think it's like like saying the problem with rock music is all those thousands of rock bands out there. After a while, you know what you like or dislike and what pieces to listen to that you might subjectively enjoy.

It is really outrageous looking at the price of 2 X 8 gig sticks right now.

It is exactly why I haven't bought anything from Apple since the ipod.

Everything sounds amazing/wonderful and then one mind boggling deal breaker that doesn't even seem to make economic sense but just feels petty.

What I'm more surprised of is that it's so defended, as if "I'm using it wrong"

I don't disagree but on the other hand, I never run into problems with the language model being censored because I am not asking it to write bad words just so I can post online that it can't write bad words.

Both sides in this to me need to get a life.

Hm, I don't buy this. The statistics shown in the blog post revealing the new Claude models (this submission) show a significant tendency to refuse to answer benign questions.

Just the fact that there's a x% risk it doesn't answer complicates any use case unnecessarily.

I'd prefer if the bots weren't antrophomized at all, no more "I'm your chatbot assistant". That's also just a marketing gimmick. It's much easier to assume something is intelligent if it has a personality.

Imagine if the models weren't even framed as AI at all. What if they were framed as 'flexi-search' a modern search engine that predicts content it hasn't yet indexed.

Yeah I spent a lot of time with Claude 2 and if I hadn’t heard online that it’s “censored,” I wouldn’t have even known. It’s given me lots of useful answers in close to natural human language.

Totally agree. Audiobooks for me are for long car rides or my daily walks.

Going for a walk with an audiobook is prime thinking time for me.

So much depends on the voice actor for me though if I can really get into the book or not.

Same here, and if the audiobook has ideas that grab my attention I'll often get the physical book to read later. I find that I can churn through several books a week and find a hidden gem in one that is worth following up.

I'll gladly pay one Audible credit and 3-5 hours of my time while at the gym or running to find out a book isn't worth buying than pay 2-3x as much for the paperback and 9-15 hours of my time dedicated to reading it to find out the same.
