No, it's an attempt to form an artificial moat by buying all the world's GPUs and memory.

Yes, not using AI will be a big competitive advantage for junior programmers.

IMO "chords" is the wrong word to use here, because chords are a fingering technique for polyphonic instruments. (So, guitar, piano, accordion, and ... that's it?) What I mean is voice leading and counterpoint - once you have

Metal music is mostly minor. Does metal sound "sad"? Opinions differ. :)

"Western electronic music" is anything that uses an instrument with a filter cutoff knob. Filter knobs and polyphony don't play together well. That's why they gravitate towards "leads" or "pads" over

No, in electronic music harmonic progressions are done by manipulating timbre. Try it yourself - play one note on repeat and start twirling the cutoff knob.

> Also, other traditions focus on melody over harmony Like Western electronic music written after 1960, for example. :) (And electronic music is, like, basically all we have today.)

Not really, a shitload of "open math problems" are bounded by constraints of simple text processing or heuristic search. Much of math is just boring routine work.

WebAuthn is the standard for token authentication. (I.e., Yubikeys and other USB sticks.) It works fine and it a no-brainer to use. The problems start when vendors start trying to shoehorn their shitty cloud auth services into WebAuthn.

The cost of LLM inference is orders of magnitude more than the typical ad CPM. Not even "native ads" embedded in LLM output can offset the difference.

FOSS is a legal and political tool that removes catastrophic dependency risk. It's not something that exists simply because software developers had free time to waste.

Most of these are either discontinued or some sort of paraphonic and/or hybrid-digital architecture. :) There's no point in trying to make an analogue synth that mimics the percussive nature of piano. Synths are much closer to woo

Sorry, I can't make any sense of your comment. "Polyphonic analogue synth" means several independent envelope generators and VCFs. Doing this is pointless -- it increases your synth's costs by orders of magnitude and pro

It's for collectors. There's no musical value in a polyphonic analogue synthesizer.

I'm just saying there is a market for vinyl records with no art or sleeves, but no market for sleeves and art with no record. Clearly the art isn't the driver of this market niche.
