La procura di Parigi ha annunciato cinque nuovi fermi nell’inchiesta sul furto avvenuto al Louvre lo scorso 19 ottobre. Tra i fermati figura uno dei principali sospetti. Lo ha reso noto la procuratrice della Repubblica, Laure Beccuau. Secondo quanto riferito, i gioielli rubati, stimati in circa 88 milioni di euro, non sono stati ancora ritrovati. […]
I'm kinda on a complaining & justifying roll so I'll add that I hate patreon, substack, even Linktree. Any corporate thing designed to waste our time & spy on us is doing more harm than good. That said, I receive a small amount of money via patreon. If it were in my power I'd move them all to liberapay.com/RMiddleton.art but I can't. It's my only connection to a few who want to support me. That's a conflict that I dislike. 1/2 Image: an org promoting noncommercial music & their meta & x accounts.

2/2 The above reminds me to make a post to patreon that's part update & mostly encouragement to move off patreon to liberapay.com/RMiddleton.art
I look forward to feeling better (I can hope!) & sending rewards to my patrons. Lately they only get to know that they're helping me. That's what donations should be anyway. Surprise! I'm also against charity acknowledgments. When NPR says that à corporation has sponsored them, that's not support for noncommercial media, it's an ad. Phew I'm exhausting 🙃

The world’s biggest record label just made peace with the machines.
Universal Music Group (UMG) has gone from suing AI music generators to partnering with one — the startup Udio — to launch a licensed AI music platform in 2026. It’s being sold as a “responsible” way to blend AI and artistry.
So… is this progress, or just a new form of control?

Onestamente, vorrei ascoltare prova di direzione di orchestra di #BeatriceVenezi, prima di dire che non è degna, ma online si trova troppo poco per farsi un'idea. Cosine manieristiche senza particolari pretese. Persino sui motori di ricerca torrent è sconosciuta.
report ci ha fatto un servizio,sono stati intervistati direttori e direttrici(come lei non ama essere chiamata)oltre a diversi musicisti.In pratica:non ha partecipato a nessun concorso per poter diventare direttrice de La fenice,non ha il curriculum adatto infatti ha diretto soltanto1teatro all'estero(a differenza dei precedenti direttori)e come direttrice ospite.Riporto le parole di una direttrice: "la sua tecnica si potrebbe anche affinare ma il talento, o ce l'hai o non ce l'hai".
@Perla_13 ho trovato giusto l'adagio di Samuel Barber, ma è risultato troppo metronomico, freddino. E un po' sbilanciato sui bassi. Però, magari era un preconcetto
a detta di altri direttori di orchestra, sembra che gesticoli come se fosse in una nuvola di zanzare (Il correttore mi cambiava "gesticoli" in "testicoli"; forse è più adatto)
@L_Alberto il gesto è uno dei criteri, neppure il più importante. È il come si lavora con l'orchestra prima dell'esecuzione che fa la differenza, non il durante. Famoso il video di Bernstein che dirige, dopo aver concertato, solo con il movimento degli occhi e di alcuni muscoli facciali, ma aveva già insegnato ai professori d'orchestra come voleva che suonassero.
e questo non la insospettisce neppure un po'? Inoltre: lei ha le competenze necessarie per valutare il lavoro di concertazione di un direttore d'orchestra? Spero e mi auguro di si.

I think I see through the magic trick of the The Library of Babel a little better now. Not that anything about it is "fake" --just that part of what makes it feel impossible is going to a room and finding a book on a particular shelf feels like a very finite act-- but "every book possible" feels infinite.
Feels.
The hexagons have very long names. It's critical that the books use only lower case letters, otherwise the names would be laughably long. The hexagon names are a more dense encoding.
Necessarily! It's not a 'trick' as much as it is a necessary consequence of the laws of entropy. Building your own version of the library is surprisingly uncomplicated!

I think a nicer mapping of the index to the books should contain some statical English phrase generator. Or even a small LLM without any noise in the input.
You will not get all of the books, but you might get a much nicer example of books!
As it is it's mostly "Look at this randomly generated characters" woven in a nice story.

I understand the need to reach people where they are but I believe that the larger problem is a lack of urgency in moving people off corporate to community. By linking good causes to bad systems messages are muddled. More alarming is that many participants themselves see no conflict. Supporting change while propping up the status quo is self defeating. I believe that explains the current state of democracies under capitalism.](https://poliverso.org/photo/preview/640/63651452 "Website screenshot: noncomMUSIC ALLIANCE [Facebook icon, x icon, Instagram icon] PUBLIC RADIO MUSIC DAY 25 LIVE.
