Mozilla has a new CEO and he just announced that Firefox will evolve into a modern AI browser. This is a good example of how management doesn’t understand its own user base and why they go out of their way to install Firefox on Windows, Android, iOS and other devices.

I wonder whether this will affect Thunderbird, which I love.
in reply to Atanas

@AtanasE Yes. There are two thoughts on this:

  1. You can use web-based e-mail access, which is much safer and more immune to issues anyway (provided your provider isn't bad.)
  2. You can freeze the current version and not update it. E-mail is not an evolving thing like the Web is, so you're pretty much only looking at security updates at this point anyway.

We noticed a rising interest regarding the use of AI in browsers. To be clear about our position on this: Zen currently is disabling all AI features included in Firefox and will continue to do so.



#HCIReview Practice-Based Research in the Creative Arts: Foundations and Futures from the Front Line (direct.mit.edu/leon/article-ab…) - Leonardo ‘18 on practice-based research through looking into examples of PhD research that they have supervised. First, there is a contrast between design and arts: “In design research, for example, the emphasis is on understanding the nature of practice and how to improve it (…) By contrast, in the creative arts, including new media arts, the emphasis is on creative process and the works that are generated”. They discuss how artifacts contribute to knowledge generation and emphasizes that “it is equally important to recognize that practice-based research is research and not practice alone.”

I'm currently in the build phase and my next race is scheduled on 12 April next year (Marathon).

My current mileage is 80 km per week, about 80% easy zone 1+2 runs and the rest is tempo and intervals mostly in zone 4+5

I'm prone to injury so I'm keeping my easy runs really slow and gentle at about 6:15 minutes per km.

Let me know if you are currently working with plans and what's your next race?

You should make you new years resolution to stop using X / Twitter.

You really don't need it. It's a nazi bar full of bots that's not good for traffic.

Even better, drop it now.

Hannah and I did hang out a bit when we were both first doing some comedy. I remember after one of her shows walking up to her to say "hi", when she jumped behind me in order to be saved from a couple she said were, "freaking her out". Even after such a dramatic moment, I don't think she would remember me now. Nevertheless, this is DARN FUNNY!

synth piano: oh that sounds pretty decent actually
synth strings: mmm, i can see what they're going for
synth percussion: is this what audiophiles mean when they say CDs sound colder than vinyl
synth woodwind: oh ok that's... creative
synth brass: ...well it's better than making a "bwaa" sound into a microphone... kind of
in reply to Lynnesbian

here's a small section of a song i'm working on. i'll play the section twice. see if you can work out which version is using the musescore brass sounds based on actual recorded instruments, and which is using the MIDI synthesiser
in reply to Lynnesbian

yes the synth brass is WAY louder than the recorded one. no i don't know why
