I've always wondered, what fraction of the decline could be attributed to indoor pet dogs? Ok, this is half humorous and half serious. But I'd wager that the answer is non-zero. This is all just anecdotal, obviously, but I think c

Where I work someone wrote a system to allow one to save every command they ever typed and make it available for searching via cli or web app. I opted in. It's probably one of the most useful tools I've ever used.

Took 1-2 years before I went a single day without thinking about tinnitus after I gave it to myself playing drums. I was so happy to be smashing those punk drums in the first rehearsal of this band. I remember exclaiming afterwards to one o

As other posts point out, leaving out the third takes away the major-ness. It's also worth mentioning the way Kurt often played power chords, using his index for the bass note and barring the rest with his ring finger. This often leads

A nice thing about doing dishes over creating art is that it's something you can work hard in and get a predictable amount of work done which is gratifying. Meanwhile you can stare at a blank sheet of staff paper in frustration for an

"essentially" is, regrettably, a misplaced word. I meant "basically" or "generally". But if the art is expressed as a sequence of bytes/tokens (ex. a song on spotify, a movie on amazon prime, a png, etc.),

I'm getting a little tired of hearing this quote at this point. What about humoring the opposite? I want AI to automate art so I can spend more time doing dishes and doing laundry. Dishes and laundry are purely analog human experiences

I think it'd genuinely boggle some people's minds just how much new c++ code is written everyday. It's not a dead horse at all.

It's not called "in-the-ballpark" pitch, it's called perfect/absolute pitch. Being up to a quarter tone off is a large error in music. Thinking of pitch in terms of 12 buckets is not musically useful. The vast major

Huge +1 to this post. Lots of other posts are off-base about the basic definition. I've always had strong relative pitch ability and many people mistake my ability for perfect pitch. But in most practical applications, it's not ju

For now, between the state of the art source separation models (e.g. demucs) and transcription models (e.g. Magenta's MT3) the last mile seems to be MIDI -> MusicXML IMO. But yes, I suspect it'll become more end-to-end ML in ti

Right, but sheet music is ubiquitous in countless musical contexts and there's very little attention to it from the ML side. Sheet music is somewhat arduous to create and there is definitely room for a lot of automation and ML could he
