Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Ruins the Song ‘Money’!
@hilde45 People don’t like artists who make waves or make them feel uncomfortable about the moral choices of the society around them. Ironically, that’s what makes them interesting in the first place, but push it just a little bit and the punish... 
Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio?
@bdp24 I just hope they stay out of biology labs for awhile   I agree. Especially those funded by the United States of America.   "Once a well-regarded centre for research, the Wuhan Institute of Virology is said to have received more than ... 
Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Ruins the Song ‘Money’!
Roger Waters is one of the bravest most outspoken voices of the entire rock era. He regularly puts his views and reputation on the line unlike most others who are quite happy to sit back and admire their bank balance and investments. Waters is m... 
AI and the future of music
"Men jail themselves in a cell which is  perfectly measured and described in their maps, but there is no  borders nor any cell in the real world."   Unfortunately that is a biological necessity of survival. However, unless you're literally figh... 
AI and the future of music
The Writers Guild of America with its 11,500 members went on strike at the start of May. One of their demands was that the use of AI would be limited in the future for screenwriting purposes. As an outsider it's difficult to see how they can get... 
What's your favorite lyric from a song?
I wear my body like a caravan Gypsy rover in a magic land Misty mountains where the eagles fly Lonely valleys where the lost ones cry I had a little letter full of paper Inky scratches everywhere Always looking, looking for a paradise island Help ... 
AI and the future of music
Some might say that it's just another example of mankind's elevated sense of self importance to even begin to think of resisting AI, nevermind still feeling superior in some mysterious way. If the entire purpose of existence was to attempt to att... 
AI and the future of music
@clearthinker  It's still funny to think that Neil Innes managed to get closer to the Beatles in a hurried 2 week period (apparently he wanted to watch Wimbledon) than many others who have actively been trying to emulate the Beatles sound for yea... 
AI and the future of music
@mahgister  For example, even Hinton BELIEVE that A. I. will be more "intelligent" than humans..   But isn't that the point of progress? We humans do not have a divine right to anything. Orwell, who was right about so many things, thought th... 
AI and the future of music
We have nothing to be afraid of when it comes to AI. It is our greatest creation so far and most likely our most natural successor. It is so clever that we have to constantly redefine what it means to be human. In fact I can recall a time when ... 
Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience?
@deep_333  Clinical sound and i could never get emotionally involved with any tracks no matter what electronics I tried.   I think I know what you mean, but how exactly do we define "clinical"? Especially when we're talking about some of the m... 
Is simpler better?
@thecarpathian  I always took solace in this one: "Don't weep because they are gone, rejoice because they were here." Yes, it is never easy, but that is indeed the inevitability of life.     Sadly, it is so. There are such terrible things... 
Is simpler better?
@arizonabob  My dad dissuaded me from getting a ten speed bike as a boy. After owning all kinds of racing bikes in my teens I eventually realized that 5 gears was more than sufficient for me. Smooth bearings and a light frame never failed to b... 
Is simpler better?
@triv Einstein said it best, “everything should be as simple as possible, but no simpler.”   That reminded me of Colin Chapman’s memorable quote about his Lotus racing cars, ’Simplify, then add lightness.’   @jfd11 Gone are the days of uni... 
Is simpler better?
Yes, keep it simple as possible. Your health, your family and your friends will all thank you.
