Only about 60% of people living in Europe live in the EU. Please don't confuse the two.

Incisive post from Adam Neely about AI's relationship to music (and as he says early on, it doesn't rely on fuzzy notions of human essence).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8NyEjB_XeA

I really like London but somehow I always leave more misanthropic than I arrived.

@futurebird I like it. I think it distinguishes from things like storage or network.

@blog I think you might have missed the relevance of Little's law to distributed processing and work queues of any kind. Disk space doesn't come into it

@futurebird From another angle, I worry about the opposite, that we'll take its word when it confirms our preconceptions (which it's trained to do).

A New Yorker proudly told me this week that his city had elected a Muslim mayor and declared "no European city would do that". What a magnificent combination of tolerance and ignorance.For anyone not aware, the mayor of London is Sadiq Khan.
