For Common Practice theory, Dr. Christopher Brellochs’ lectures are very very good: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLw9t0oA3fHkxx1PgYpiXrMUPX...

I am very skeptical that a child can learn perfect pitch merely by listening to classical music.

Well, it felt unsustainable to me. Logging everything by hand was very tedious and it would have been a real pain to keep it up long term. Maybe I could do it if I had some good tools to make the logging easier. I know lawyers are often req

The book The Effective Executive recommends keeping detailed logs of your activity for two weeks so you can better understand where your time goes. I did that and found that keeping those logs made me far more focused and productive. Knowin

No, because they all have significant upsides that far outweigh the tail risks

by medler 3y ago
The tail risk is real though. I do hope someday we’ll have accurate estimates of those risks. In the meantime it seems pretty clear to me that the expected value of these drugs is negative. I think it was Charlie Munger who said “in the bes

I see you are more interested in hurling insults than arguing your case in good faith. That’s fine but it means I am done responding to you after this comment. > It is of course easier to see a pupil surrounded by a blue iris than it is

The first, second, and fourth links are about pupil dilation generally. They don’t say anything about eye color. They most certainly say nothing to support your assertions about the connection between eye color and the perception of pupil d

It is currently April 2023. “~0 in 2022” is the only part of that that seems credible. I not convinced of OpenAI’s rosy predictions of future explosive growth.

Is there anyone who has successfully productized AI? ChatGPT isn’t a profitable product, at least not yet. Google Photos and Spotify recommendations are the best AI products I can think of with clear revenue, and in these examples AI is jus

A few months back I tried using io_uring for some performance-critical network I/O and found it was slower than epoll. A bit sad because epoll has a notoriously janky API and the io_uring API is much nicer. (This part is also sad for m

Manhattanites tend to be healthier than pretty much any other Americans. It would be logical to conclude that Manhattan is the healthiest place to spend your time.

I’m not aware of Facebook doing anything like this. I’m pretty sure I can go on Facebook and post a link to a substack article, or a tweet, and still get likes and shares on that post.

by medler 4y ago
Substack’s CEO has denied any improper use of the Twitter APIs. Given Elon’s long and storied history of making things up, this allegation seems likely to be another fabulation.

People say this but are never able to offer any evidence for this claim. The fact is that Japan is much less homogeneous than white westerners tend to believe, and has liberalized immigration substantially in recent years. You’ll hear stats

Competition isn’t really a thing in the short term. Every EV manufacturer is selling every car they are capable of producing for at least the next year or so. Someday I guess supply will catch up with demand and then we’ll see if Tesla can

I enjoyed that a lot, thanks. No doubt he’s massively talented. I do wonder if, just as it takes a certain amount of education to appreciate classical music, there might simply be a certain education or ear required to appreciate Jacob Coll

Collier has an impressive knowledge of music theory but for me music is about emotion and expression, and I’ve never been able to find much of either in his compositions or performances. Just my 2 cents.

For ages I’ve been looking for a text that would help me understand the structure of the diatonic scale. Foundations of Diatonic Theory looks exactly like the book I was convinced must exist but haven’t been able to find. Thank you!

SVB’s collapse was, to a large extent, caused by herd thinking among VCs that sparked a run. No bank can survive a full-on run. (Not excusing the bad decisions by SVB management. Obviously they should have managed their investments better).

The threshold was $50B until Trump and co raised it to $250B. I agree that lowering it back to $50B should be a priority.
