Indeed. But this is the guitar's design! Fixed temperament. There are many variations and other instruments that explicitly make that aspect of the instrument variable. There are even branches off of Spanish guitar design that use mova

The title is quite literally "Why can't you tune your guitar". I didn't insert the strawman.

Absurd. A guitar within tolerance is in tune. It's a fundamental feature of the instrument. Not a flaw. Music doesn't live in an abstract realm of perfections, it is an expression however formed. The fact that we can measure it

Lol. Not exactly an apt comparison. "Average" Canadian. A lot of the population lives in a climate where half the year more energy is required to survive the climate. And the population is exponentially smaller than the United Sta

I'm not sure sure. I worked under people who started as juniors that way but were politically savvy. Or just ruthless. And pushed their way to the top by stealing projects, lying through their teeth, and other such tactics. They were s

Lol. I've been looking at this stuff wondering what the hell I was missing and what it was trying to solve. I was starting to think I've really fallen behind or something. I feel relief AND horror.

A great deal of what may be included in "homegrown talent" in the US according to this comment, indeed has come from other countries...

This is a strange article to show up on the front page of hacker news. A couple of paragraphs on a profound subject and reductionists feel the need to talk over it as if they have a better idea. If this stuff interests you, get out of the s

Noted. Sometimes what needs translated to food and shelter isn't your thoughts, however. If you nurture and value thoughts regardless, this point will be understandable.

I think, in time, it will be shown to be the real, persistent differentiator. And far more valuable. But it's also not a moat in the same way. It's accessible to everyone, but you have to actually disregard the parts of yourself t

None of this should surprise anyone by now. You are being lied to, continually. You guys need to read the actual manifestos these AI leaders have written. And if not them, then read the propagandist stories they have others write like The O

Because you simply can't engineer creativity. Maybe you can describe where it comes from, in a circuitous, abstract way with mathematics (and ultimately run face first into ħ and then run in circles for eternity). But to engineer it,

Now you know how these guys see everything. Like when Trump tells Canada (paraphrasing) "You think we're going to let China eat you first and just have the scraps?" Everything is a zero-sum game to them. They are philosophica

No. By this logic, if they wanted to stay with the times they should have sought capital investment for their own industrial forges, joined their local lodges, climbed the ranks, lobbied their governments for loose safety regulations, and p

What could the "West" have accomplished? Perhaps in a religious zeal we only would have burned ourselves up long ago. A knowledge of math and science does not innately impart some higher wisdom. As it is we have cabals of bankers

If we're just writing off the billions in up front investment costs, they can just send all that my way while we're at it. No problem. Everybody happy.

I would bet in time they are vindicated. Then Google et al will release something with much advertising hype about "returning to basics" or something in a couple of years.
