• The lost joy of music piracy

  Music is tough. People like music which is a lot like what they're familiar with but just a little bit different. Musicians are always suing each other because it's hard to write a song which doesn't sound dangerously like an existing song, which is why Taylor Swift is generous with writing credits.

• Nobel-winning chemist leaves US to direct AI materials lab in China

  I will grant my friend Valerie lives off grid and does subsistence agriculture, see https://wildhunt.org/2026/02/pagan-community-notes-week-of-february-5-2026.html but she is a high priestess even if she omits "high". Now I did get a high when I went to Litha (summer solstice) at her place that lasted for days because the experience was ethereal and otherworldly. But she's a professional who does this full... - Source: Hacker News / 9 days ago
