You could imagine some GitHub Copilot like model that is trained on available music then uses a language like Melrose to predict music. That way the model sends notation to a synthesizer instead of directly creating a waveform. It would pre

Would White Castle have more demand with even lower prices? Is price and not quality the factor in most people's decision to eat at White Castle or not? It seems like this won't end well for employees or the corporation because th

The decorum in London and Tokyo dictates you don't talk to your cabbie and they don't talk to you. The drivers of the black cabs in London will not make small talk as a rule. It helps them focus on doing their job, and it prevents

Good point, but guns are legal in NYC. If you have a dangerous job like a security guard, you can get an open carry permit. If you have no special circumstances, you can own a gun in your home. The gun can be transported to other destinatio

The monad as used in Haskell is really just a functional replacement for the semicolon: `doFoo(); logBar(); requestBaz()` in Haskell is `doFoo >> logBar >> requestBaz`. If you want to get really fancy you can pipe the inputs: `d

Totally agree with you here: Haskell is only good for programming in the theoretical language of computation, something like the pure lambda calculus. This is an easier way to think logically for some people. For others it's simpler to

Good critique. What I was try (and failed) to communicate is that you should have a project that your interviewer wouldn't know how to make, rather than puff yourself up with hot gas. Having a project the interviewer couldn't ma

Stop and frisk was so controversial it was ended by popular demand. One upside of America is that privacy invading policies have a way of correcting themselves if the electorate is sufficiently outraged. The proposed changes to Section 230

Perhaps it would have been simply best to note that island nations are generally insulated from invasion in ways that continental nations are not. Great Britain had the long term national security to forge an empire while the continental na

To counter this claim, I'd ask you to consider which of two similarly sized invasions was easier to achieve: D-Day and the invasion of Western Europe, or Operation Barbarossa and the invasion of Eastern Europe. You may also consider wh

The crux of the DDPS architecture seems to be allowing a model to train the many parameters of the sound synthesizer. You would never be able to create a truly realistic piano from a software synth by merely tuning the knobs because there a
