Came here to say this. The generative version has no story, so the emotional aspect is quite watered down, even if the general mood persists. Funnily enough, that is probably perfect for the use case of this kind of thing: background music.

I'm intrigued by the CO2 transformation companies. Would love to know more about the byproducts and energy efficiency of the processes, but I can't find much info about them. I guess we'll find out as they progress

I've been reading "The Dancing Wu Li Masters", starting the book with the full knowledge that it's form the early 70s and likely out of date. But it turns out it's not as out of date as I thought. As a total outside

*pop song If you're writing pop, you want it to be a hit, and you want to use a non-standard chord progression? You better know your harmony theory inside out. Otherwise stick to the usual chord progressions. I guess it's like say

Plenty of native apps lag, for a variety of reasons. I do agree that RN apps have a greater probability of lagging though.

Looks cool, but I noticed that a lot of videos have both "major key tonality" and "minor key tonality" in the tags. Maybe you guys need to have a higher confidence score for a tag to be real / less tags? Seems to be

So true. My goal with learning to play chords from symbols is to look at a chord progression and be able to play it without too much trouble. Not really for performance or anything, but to help with composition. So perhaps a good approach w

Sounds like the way you use Anki is more of a learning supplementary rather than a singular tool? Like you are learning of words elsewhere and entering them into Anki for memorization once you have learned about them? I’m just curious. I’d

I’d be interested to see a follow up on this. Spotify and Apple both encourage a form of mastering that doesn’t reward loudness. Apple has that soundcheck thing, Spotify as well (not sure what they call it). I’m sure this has had a not so i

About 2 months ago I discovered Don Rickles and thought he was hilarious. So of course, I spent a couple of hours going down the Don Rickles YouTube hole. The next weekend I did the same for an hour or so. And in between I would occasionall

This was my first take on swift as an Obj-C dev back in 2014. I did an app extension in swift, basically just trying to write Obj-C code in swift (force cast and force unwrap all the things!). I didn't like it, I felt like it got in th

Is it “reading their thoughts” if they’re openly communicating them? Would you consider it cheating if someone wrote down their ideas on paper during a game and didn’t stop you from reading the paper?

It can still be a forked codebase and do all of what you say. What you’re outlining is that it’s not isolated from public Facebook infrastructure.

Except Facebook let them take a copy of the album collection, albeit for a different use case, but it was allowed nonetheless. That doesn't absolve CA in any way, but should make us wary of people we willingly give our "album coll
