Who gives out the permits?

Why in gods name would we need this? How is this helping? Can we not just be fucking serious for a second here?

What protests?

Holy fuck that was so much worse than I imagined.

In my mostly uneducated option this is an unsolvable problem. It can get better but it will never be very good.

equivalent to reading a teen’s journal and invading its privacy.

IMO people should not be putting such personal information into an LLM that’s not running on their local machine.

Didn’t watch the video but I can confirm this statement is correct.

Hmm, that’s really interesting.

I wonder if there is actually any precedent at all for this being enforced?

This is a “code”, not the law.

Edit: I guess it is the “law” for whatever that’s worth these days.

This damage will never be undone

I don’t think many people are making the next top 40 single with nothing but a phone.

That being said there are plenty of high quality music making apps on phones and tablets. Apple’s Logic Pro and Koala Sampler come to mind. Even if it won’t handle the full production, is a great way to get started when inspiration hits.

There is also an entire class of synthesizer / modeller that can ONLY really be played on a touchscreen (see GeoShred).

It’s also (IMO) a bit gatekeepy to suggest that good music can’t be made on the simplest of equipment. There are so many absolutely fire tracks that have been made on nothing but a pirated copy of FL studio and a school laptop. Before that it was a tape recorder in the bathroom.

This is a confusing question.

You need low latency to produce music on any device.

Eww, windows?

Yeah like I said in my original comment, if you don’t do anything serious with audio then it doesn’t matter. However if you do, then it matters and BT just simply isn’t good enough.

Apple themselves even admit this. If you open up Logic on iPad (a digital audio workstation made by apple) it warns you that using Bluetooth is going to suck.

Edit: Also worth pointing out my original comment isn’t about analog headphones jacks Vs Bluetooth it’s about wired vs Bluetooth. USB C is fine in terms of the complaints I’m making about BT.

What is making you stink discord isn’t also selling all its data to AI companies?

What happened in las Vegas?

The user experience is objectively way better with wireless earbuds

Not objectively. There are plenty of problems with Bluetooth headphones. If you don’t do anything “serious” with audio it’s not a problem.

But:

• Audio quality is worse (mathematical fact)
• Latency is high
  • So high it’s impossible to make music / play beats via Bluetooth
• Packets drop due to external interference

All of this can be solved with USBC audio but that’s not wireless of course.
