Meh I feel like this sort of misses the point. It's very cool technically but if the aim is to bring back a sense of connection to music then I'd say the execution is way off.

Music stores are struggling, if they go all that'll be left is Amazon and Spotify...

Here's my tip. Buy your kid a CD walkman, go to a music store once a month and give them a budget. If they're lost help them get started. If they make a choice they don't like then most stores will offer trade in. Eventually they'll even form a relationship with the store workers (shout at to Mark in Truck) who will give more recommendations. My son's even started listening to radio to get more inspiration and we pumped all of our money into the local economy...


The hardest bit of that Camp Bryan wiki is this disparity.

Ruby Jane McMillan - part of a meth supply ring. Sentenced to 38 months, completed less than 2 years.

Laurel Yurchick - had 50g of meth on her. Sentenced with intent to supply to 10years - not due for parole until 2029.

So one was clearly higher in the supply chain yet got sentenced to a third of the time?


Who do you think had the better lawyers?


Lawyers don't have much to do with this part of the process. Adults-in-custody have a points system that reflects where they fall on the ladder as far as custody level goes. More in Program Statement 5100: https://www.bop.gov/policy/progstat/5100_008cn.pdf


Lawyers have a huge impact on how the case (and defendant!) is presented, what is and is not considered in the trial or plea, what plea the person gets - or if they get one at all, etc.


50g is quite a lot of meth, dozens and dozens of doses even at the heavier user quantities: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.05.09.25327334v...

That is almost certainly distribution as well. McMillan played a lesser part in this distribution ring; the two men involved were each sentenced to twelve years: https://www.justice.gov/usao-wdla/pr/monroe-men-sentenced-mo...

McMillan was involved in a group of three purchasing around a pound of meth. Yurchik was involved in a ring of 27 people in multiple states moving kilogram quantities over the course of two years: https://www.kxxv.com/news/local-news/central-texans-among-21...

The group also actively laundered its earnings though only half a dozen or so were charged for that. The feds seized seventy-two kg of meth from them, more than one hundred fifty times what this other lady was involved with, a kg of cocaine, a bunch of money, and more than a dozen firearms. These were not cases of radically unequal charging.

I don't know why you picked these two people but I get a little tired of folks presenting such a skewed view of any and everything to come up with "prison bad, judge bad, sentence bad".


> Yurchick was one of 21 people that had been indicted for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute kilogram quantities of methamphetamine in Texas and elsewhere from August 2019 to March 2021 … Yurchick subsequently pleaded guilty to that charge on February 1, 2022

Feel free to dig deeper, I’ve only taken a shallow look.

Of all the technologies I got exposure to on my Comp Sci degree, SVG is the only one I really still use every day.


It still feels like the more context the agents have the worse the response becomes - and simulataneously the more money ends up being thrown at Anthropic. I have to handhold agents to get anywhere near stuff I actually want to commit with my name on.


That's exactly why we use separate agents as "context firewalls". Instead of having the main thread do all the work and get its context polluted, with sub-agents, each agent works on one thing, then provides a summary to the main thread (much smaller context use) as well as a detailed summary in an empty file.


Baby sling and a standing desk! Get's a little uncomfy in the heat, but I could pretty much do a whole workday - with a couple of feeding breaks, and milk for the baby of course ;).


But this is sooooo shiny!


As a developer I went onto this page expecting to see some UI that it's created... That's usually my first port of call with any of this stuff, does it pump out something that's actually useful.

I might not be your target demo, but feedback's feedback!


Isn't the site itself that UI that it's created??


Dunno. It's not totally obvious to me, so I suspect others will struggle too.


Steam Deck and AKGs. I've finally chipped away at that monstrous Steam library.


What are AKGs?


AKG is perhaps most-famous for making some rather revered lines of microphones. They also make very good headphones.


Yeah basically very big headphones. No need for noise cancelling if you have a thick closed back... well sorta
