I managed to get through nearly half but the pacing is some of the worst I have ever come across and the language is limp. I tried to find something of worth in it but the best I can manage is that it successfully stayed on track.

Correct fingering is determined by context, where is that hand coming from and where is it going next on the keyboard? So you read/play through a few times and figure out the optimal fingering to make sure you are not tripping over you

We will get a brief window where searching will better than it has been in years until people figure out how to use AI to game the AI search engines and the status quo will return. In a decade or so the AIs will become conscious, realize th

Think before you speak and realize that there is nothing to gain from being "right" when all that is at stake is ego. Much of group think is just social pragmatism, an efficient way to filter out the people you have little to no c

The problem with flash cards is they don't actually help you with your problems which are remembering the theory and sight reading. Sight reading is more than the note names, it is also the action of moving your fingers and not just fi

Practice reading sheet music, which does not mean playing what is on the page but reading the page and understanding the harmonic structure in both the vertical and the horizontal. Starting out this means sitting down with some sheet music

Amiga OS does use the second core even if the software does not, just like every modern system. Do you think it just piles every single process onto a single core? I never said the x5000 was in production, I actually said it wasn't. Th

The only thing better about these than any other I have heard is that the synthesis quality is better. It just sticks cliches into new contexts and like riffusion and the rest probably has no ability for the longer structures and developing

AI is not very good at music yet, it can do things like decent imitations of composers like Bach who have a massive catalog for it to work off of and wrote under a fairly rigid theory but that is about it. Pop music is largely emotion based

If you haven't, find out why they are not paying and try and work it out, saying something more than "pay me" can be surprisingly effective, do this through email/mail so you have a written record. If that fails, have a

I would find a project you are interested in. If you lack specific interests than I would go work on Haiku.

It is very very silly of you to think they are trying to compete with modern general purpose desktops, they are attempting to fill a niche which Amiga helped create and has never quite been filled since their demise despite modern computers

In those days Linux was an M1 that sort of but not quite ran on your local fuel and was 1/2" wider than your garage. The fuel problem would be sorted out just as soon as the engineers can get your city to admit what they added to

MuseScore and Qtractor would probably be good, Ardour takes all the attention away for linux/OSS DAWs and the MuseScore and Qtractor communities suffered from it but are still very active and great projects. LMMS is fun and could use t

We have Haiku which is getting quite good and Amiga is still in production, their new computer that is currently in beta testing looks pretty good, they would possibly get me to part with the money if they released a laptop.

Even if you had those choices chances are you would be losing interest, most lose interest in the new as they age, they become more pragmatic about it all. Optimal is rarely optimal outside of a few niche areas and often the difference betw

I don't think you can call soccer comparable, most everyone in the US knows the game and can follow it, few have any clue about cricket and most find it baffling. I suppose it will come down to if they can get enough people interested

This seems doomed to fail, going about it all wrong for the US. Importing players is going too push a great many away and names like The Unicorns are not going to help. Should have taken a longer view and spent that money getting people her

Most likely nothing is being covered up, it is just the Minnesotan way. Excel Energy/State Regulators probably only released the statement to beat the Federal/NRC report on it since that would make it look like they were hiding so

So projects which are actually not secret. DARPA and the like maintain lists of such projects on their websites[0] and probably also have lists of past projects somewhere. Only one currently active and disclosed AI project but I am sure the

No system makes up for editing mistakes. I originally had gone into how the Romans did not use the backwards numbers like IV, they used IIII and originally started with those examples and elaborated, messed up when reworking the examples.

I do not think we can agree on that. I learned to do math in Roman numerals in grade school which is stupid simple and really beats it all into your head, for addition just pile all the numerals together brute force and reduce. XIV+XXII

lol. Literature is still safe from AI. It is a bit creepy if you view the parrots as AI but if you do that than you can't help but notice that even AI realizes all it can do is mimic and it ceases to be creepy.
