If I had to name one it would be the violinist Vanessa Mae, but I think DJ's have replaced bands and musicians in many ways and have certainly added value to the original work, which ironically is a copyright nightmare.

I wouldnt listen to this original soundtrack/song,

But I'd listen to these upgrades.

It'll be interesting to see how AI disrupts the "mix other people's stuff and call it your own composition" space. I have to admit I look forward to DJs complaining about models being trained on their work. In a very primitive way what we calls DJs really are forerunners to the LLM.


> If I had to name one it would be the violinist Vanessa Mae

Haven't heard any of her work, have skied with her though.


What a strange way to flex.


I'm not American so have no idea what you mean.

My point was that she was busy with a non-musical project for several years. I have not met her since the pandemic though.


What did you think that information was adding to the conversation? As readers what are we supposed to get from what you typed?

What do you think @copperx thought it was?

Your nationality shouldn't matter in any of that.


The information added is that maybe Vanessa Mae doesn't count as a currently active instrumentalist.

I have no idea at all what the post by @copperx means, I am a native English speaker.


1) websearch "vanessa mae" and you would have heard her work in less time that it took to type the message. Estimate: less than a minute.

2) websearch "flex" and you would have understood what that means in even less time.

> Haven't heard any of her work, have skied with her though.

Totality of what you wrote. It does not convey any meaning regarding whether someone is an "active instrumentalist."

Best.


> I think about this a lot when I see UI redesigns that "look fresh" or "updated" while actually reducing productivity and degrading the life of the humans

This ^^^ it totally annoys me having to relearn programs when I'm faster with 16bit versions from the early 00's.


If you ever wondered about the claim that denim is self cleaning, it refers to the use of methylene blue being used as a dye, "dye" being synonymous with the word "drug" in the 1800's as it was also the first man made drug in the world.

Whilst it has a variety of properties, when exposed to near infrared light (red light) because it penetrates the tissue more deeply, MB's activity greatly increases its anti bacterial, anti viral, anti cytokine, anti-fungal, anti depressant (MAOI), and more activity. Its a rapid electro donor, some 30times faster than auto oxidation in the mitochondria, and unlike vit C, another electron donor, it increases the conversion of ferric iron (state3) into ferrous (state2) iron helping to improve physical performance which is why its an effective treatment for methemoglobinemia.

The main reason it fell out of medical fashion? The blue stain gets everywhere! Used extensively by the US Navy, it even helped coin its own saying "Even at the loo, we see, we pee, navy blue".

But this is how denim was self cleaning, leave the clothing out in the sun and the dye got to work on the bacteria you'd find in your clothes, and whilst copper rivets in jeans were used to hold the clothes together in a rugged fashion, the copper also helped play its part in being an antibacterial implement.

Whilst the medical profession are revisiting it, its cited as cancerous, but this was based on a lifelong study on F344 rats which are a 1920's breed of rat, that were inbred and predisposed to various cancers and thus became one of the cancer model rats. This appears to be a form of vested interest manipulation by some sectors of the scientific community in order to manipulate decision makers so much so its enough for Canada and the UK to ban it!

But that is how Denim self cleans.


[citation needed] Denim is usually dyed with natural or synthetic indigo. The quip about the navy refers to Methylene Blue's pharmacological use as an antimalarial drug. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/49831954_Lest_we_fo...


Well this is pretty damn cool.

I always assumed "self cleaning" was a bit of myth and mystique amongst denim-heads, attributable to the density of weave and the "patina" denim can get that makes it effective at resisting stains, etc. "Nah dude, my jeans are MAGIC!"

You've earned your Friday … thank you!


Most people dont realise that thrush can kill.

75% of women will have at least one episode of vulvovaginal candidiasis and this is when thrush gets out of control, but it can still be spread when its not out of control because its practically impossible to get rid of.

In-hospital all-cause (crude) mortality among people with candidemia is approximately 25% and remains a persistent public health problem[1].

What annoys me, is this knowledge is not something new, its been known for decades and I remember the sex education I got at school or complete lack of it apart from the mechanics but never taught the implications of STD's et al, which means the Govt and health experts are fuelling these persistent public health problems along with all the nutters who should be locked up in the funny farms who think God will save them!

Thrush is a fungal yeast infection that's almost universal for most people -- you're going to have these critters living on or in you eventually anyways.

And it's not an issue unless you're immunocompromised or otherwise highly vulnerable. It's not an issue for most people.


So the next question is, does this also apply to the RFlags(64bit) and Flags(16bit) register?


Still not got it.

As someone with a high signal lesion in the genu of the corpus callosum caused by childhood head injuries I think the brain split in two halfs is simply an impact "kill switch" for severe adult head injuries.

Ergo extreme impact trauma to the head results in the brain breaking the connections between the two hemispheres at the corpus callusom, resulting in immobolisation. However this could also be a temporary kill switch which immobolises the body until such time as the brain's neuroplasticity has restored the corpus callosum.

In such a condition the individual would likely be left for dead, be going hungry and quite likely thirsty which creates an increase in phagocytosis which in turn causes an increase in h2o2 and then catalase the enzyme from the liver breaks this down to water and oxygen, ergo the conditions to help the body live, if not in a slimmed down form (pun intended) still exists and lends credence to fasting.

PirB aka LILRB3 is also a protein involved in Alzheimers, toggling it affects neuroplasticity which includes vision.

A weakness electrical systems and biological systems both have is they dont always know where the instructions were issues from, so if the can bus is viewed like a nervous system, injecting messages can cause problems especially if the device doesnt verify the authenticity of said message. Biological systems cant do this, but digital can take steps to improve the authenticity of said messages.

In a way its a problem CPU's suffer as well, when thinking of code that pretends its a USB mouse and keyboard and then destroys stuff off the computer whilst masquerading as the user. Until such devices have self preservation built into them as standard, the ability to hack devices remains easy.
