Well no, by the same logic it would be quaverquaverquaverquavic. A hemidemisemiquaver, while a little scary for the performer, at least makes immediate perfect sense. Unlike that stupid "sixty-fourth note" rubbish. Music is art,

I trust your real name is not actually Kyle Maxwell :) I do this too, btw - a random name generator is the very best form of internet anonymity. (If it actually is your real name, then I can only assume you're using an iocaine powde

Is there any reason to assume it wouldn't be? A lot of training data comes from the open web, after all, and Google also searches Google books, so a Google search is basically a model training data search. The only interesting thing i

The "bells and whistles" label sounds more dismissive / perjorative to me. An odd, and not a particularly nice, thing to say. Makes me wonder how the "magic" and "alchemy" terms were intended in this cas

The need for physical libraries is fading anyway. I love books, and I spent many happy hours as a student (a long time ago) in the uni library, doing research the only way you could back then. But now ...? For STEM, at least, everything i
