I don't think this is a solved problem yet, in terms of technique. You may well be pressing the keys in the right order, at the right time, and with the right dynamics, but there's a lot to playing technique that is about your hand position and movement which isn't detectable via MIDI capture.

I've been a guitar teacher for 20 years, and I've seen people who are incredible players with terrible technique. Yes, that means it's possible to play well by doing so badly, but with the right technique (which is still being developed in some areas), there's a whole lot of improvement that could happen, or the player in question could play for longer (both in the short term, and longer term because of injury).

Only complex video / 3D capture of your hand position and movement would solve this, and as far as I'm aware this doesn't exist yet.

Find a good teacher, even if it's just for the occasional lesson. With the right teacher (and this is horses for courses), you'll make much more progress, even if you still use the app.

(All IMO, of course!)
I try to explain Nethack to people by talking about cockatrices. They turn you to stone. So you could pick up a cockatrice corpse, and hit monsters with it, and turn them to stone! Well, only if you're wearing gloves, of course.

And then you meet a succubus who seduces you and takes off your gloves so you turn to stone, or you are burdened, try to go down stairs and fall down them instead, so you touch your cockatrice corpse and turn to stone, or...

All of this is of course less fatal if you happened to be polymorphed into a stone golem at the time so you was already stone, but who knows how long that will last.

I can continue for ages just about cockatrices.
P(death|me) dominates P(death|population)!

> After 60 your risk of death from cancer starts declining, because other causes dominates your risk of death from cancer. By 90 the cancer risk is less than 10%.

This may be true at a population level. But only because the "average" person smokes, drinks too much, doesn't get enough exercise, has a poor diet, is considerably overweight, is poor, has poor access to healthcare, and may have worked in a job with exposure to occupational hazards or stresses which damage their body.

If you, as an individual, have none of those, with no family history of early death from stroke or heart disease, then cancer will certainly dominate your risk of death.

Sure, for Un Sospiro there were definitely sections that were easy (first few pages are quite repetitive) so not much issue there, but there are runs in the middle where I practiced slowly for a while until it came naturally.
At this point, I believe that humans are well aware of blind spots in the masses online, so assuming there is a predatory chess pool of sharks waiting to consume or rob the unwary should be a given.

If there is a place where no light or monitoring shines, the question I would ask is how frothily the waters teem with predators.
I don't get the 'can't be productively invested' part.

TI does not ban assembly programming on their calculators. In fact, the AsmPrgm directive lets you punch in machine code in hex right on the device itself. I actually used this as the basis for a CTF challenge once: https://github.com/saagarjha/ictf-carprey
We had much more back and forth, discussion and such. And teacher would know you personally somewhat and would communicate with you personally when ypi had trouble.

Agreed. Casio got me through my beginning of undergrad with a wonderful calculator. TI always seemed liked too little for the money.
Indeed, due to the extreme conditions, social pressure and conditioning since a young age, they were free in name only.
What regulation is stopping you from investing earlier?
Somehow a fund I’m holding returned 36% in the last year, and a new one reached 10% in 4 months. I have a lot of questions about what’s about to happen.

> Unicode is a variable width abstract encoding;

To be a bit more explicit: Unicode is a character encoding, to 20-and-a-half-bit 'bytes', that is variable-width in those 'bytes', even before considering how the 'bytes' are encoded to actual bytes. Eg "ψ̊" (greek small psi with ring above) is U+3C8 U+30A (two 'bytes').
Not having screenshots obviously available is like these programming language homepages that don’t show you any example code.
No, but we also shouldn't imply the main reason accidents occurred before was because there were no speed limits.
To take back the money they would need to sell the assets they bought to inject money into the economy in the first place, then they would need to pretend the money gained in that sale never existed. Usually those assets are bonds so it’s unlikely they can call in those bonds before they are due and hopefully when they are due the bond debtors are able to pay.

This is not really very easy to predict. It will definitely rise from it's bottom because it has some utility even when illegal, but what that bottom is and how high it will go is the question. Will a government be capable of stopping its use? The DoD could 51% attack monero with 0.1% of it's yearly budget. But say they couldn't stop it, the next question is, is there a use for it for people who aren't engaged in black markets, for example, is it made illegal in a pending currency collapse? There are a lot of variables that affect the value of an asset, particularly currencies, and particularly when they're made illegal.

Inflation doesn't make one investment opportunity more attractive than another.
TI's newer calculators actually use the eZ80, which is pipelined and generally much faster than the similarly-clocked Z80 processors in the older devices.
Interesting, but yeah, he fought way too hard with the analog part driving the transducers

I get it, it's a hobby project, but I feel the knowledge of analog electronics is getting lost in a way (and yes the analog people are the worse at explaining things - I think I saw YT videos more informative than whole university courses)
The debtor is the government, right? So unless the government collects more taxes, it is probably not able to pay.
> I don't know via which mechanisms they would do this. Does anybody here know?

selling bonds or increasing reserve requirements are two of the fairly straight-forward tools central banks have to reduce money supply.
Password strength requirements are an anti-pattern: they force users to pick passwords from a pre-determined list the algorithm comes up with, rather than passwords they can remember.

Even with the most secure password, it is still useful to have an additional gate to get past before being able to perform any actions on your account, You are in control; you could deny the 2FA for an attacker just by doing nothing, whereas kicking an attacker out after they've logged in with your password is a lot more difficult and requires active action on your part. I remember being paranoid checking the list of recent sessions (and clicking the "end all other sessions" button multiple times a day) in the old Gmail design, and also giving up as keeping an eye on that list 24/7 was futile and a waste of time. With 2FA, I don't have to.
> what is the impact of cryptocurrencies to governments and the Treasuries if fiat experiences inflation, loss of 'trust', and devaluation?

Not as much as some people think. We've been on fixed-supply currencies before; built empires, waged wars, and administered continent-spanning states on them. America has experienced inflation without banning the ownership of gold or foreign currencies. (And repressive states have survived, even thrived, after doing both.)

If the U.S. Treasury started issuing debt and accepting tax payments in Bitcoin, it prompt a rocky transition. But it wouldn't be unprecedented. Switching to a multi-currency regime would create a short-term (as in generational) boost in compensation for financial professionals, as the entire morass of financial plumbing gets re-written and overhauled. Players closely tied to attributes unique to the U.S. dollar, like printers and SWIFT, would die. Players operating at higher levels of abstraction, securities houses and depository banks, would do quite well. Assuming Bitcoin continues deflating, lenders would do phenomenally.
The debtor is not always the government. The fed buys bonds in smaller banks, among other assets.

Ha, I thought I was the only one. It felt like an extreme accusation at first, but Space Marines are really so close to Nazis. The imperial eagle, preserving the superior geneseed and purging the universe of the unclean. I say this somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but it makes one wonder about their popularity.
I still don't think I really "get" it, but this explanation makes the most sense to me. Thanks!

Like of course I would switch and go for the coin toss, but I don't know how to convert that certainty into actually probabilities, tho I'm sure that the odds of my choices are not 1/3 versus 1/2, because there's probably some interplay.

If I think about it more I start to get confused again, along the lines of: does the first choice even matter then? and what if I reverse my first and second choices (as in I pick 1, then switch to 3, but what if I picked 3 then switched to 1), how can I still have better odds by switching, since there's only 1 right answer? But sticking with the coin toss, I feel, "OK this makes sense."
I’ve always been taught to spend >50% time practice hand separate first, increase tempo one hand at a time, and only combine after much practice, which seems to differ than the post. Does anyone have a view on how soon to jump into two hands when learning a new piece?

What do you think would be a correct statement?

"If you're the kind of person who adds mushrooms to their food, you might or might not have lower probability of getting cancer"?

It always drives me crazy, because I'm not sure if I'm that kind of person. Am I a person who doesn't smoke or who only doesn't because it's unhealthy? Am I a person who doesn't eat butter or just avoid it because it might be bad for me? I genuinely think I can't know.
With "money" I meant FED money. I did not count IOUs from banks as money.

So that leaves us with selling bonds.

As for the IOUs from banks: It is an interesting question how much stocks are bought with that kind of pseudo money. Since banks probably do not give those IOUs to people who want to buy stocks with them, I would think not so much.

The IOUs would have to go through zombie companies which give the IOUs to their employees who then buy stocks with them.
I'd have thought that everyone who knew anything about rock and roll would know that it started as black music, but ok - the world is a big place with a lot of variance. I've taken "100%" out of my comment above.

Those are all songs that were done later by white artists who had big hits with them. How much money the original performers got is an exercise for the reader. I could give you dozens of other examples but, alas, HN has shot my memory.

It's important to know that in most of these cases the white artists adored the black artists and were playing their songs because they loved them—as musicians do. But it doesn't change who got the raw deal.

It depends on how it is run, and the students. My child does better in person, at least at this point in life. However, many children did better online than in person I've heard from some that it's easier to avoid distraction from classmates, and they feel more focused.

Classroom sized video conferences with elementary school kids are a big mess though. A teleconference operator could go a long way.

Having an option to do things online for students where it works better seems good to me.

In some ideal world, students could work on some of their curriculm online where it made sense for them, and other parts offline. Kind of hard to coordinate a classroom that way though.

“What Happens to Stocks and Cryptocurrencies When the Fed Stops Raining Money?”

Even asking the question is evidence of failure; the economy and its participants should have been robust enough to withstand this kind of shock. Instead there is an inverted economy where irresponsible and indebted risk takers are bailed out with money from those who trusted the system, while amongst other things saving for a rainy day. This bankrupt philosophy ends with social credit and cast-like systems with printing and debt at their core.

It seems that those who love freedom and responsibility have attempted to build a safe haven from all this garbage, let's hope that crypto survives.
As far as I understand it’s a summary of an interview conducted and previously published in Slovak. I found it a quite plausible account of what was going on in poor, rural parts of Europe emerging from under hundreds of years of changing feudal governments at a time when the large empires broke down.

Honestly sounds like an extreme form of communism.

One of the benefits of hierarchy is that decision comes with personal responsibility (skin in the game?). Diluting all responsibility onto the whole population mean no accountability and shadow power structures.
Or you could derive the exact opposite conclusion, advocating for change since it hardly ever happens so we would like to have more of it.

Anyway, the arguments today are not necessarily about change but rather about what kind of change. Which I suspect was always the case, conservatism or progressivism are just team names, exactly like democrats and republicans. In Australia the liberals are the right wing party, it is just a label.
Why would you rely on something like GPS for something as expensive as an ICBM, when you can have inertial guidance?

FAANG & co. discovered that not being afraid of software, but instead harnessing its power, lets them leave old school enterprises in the dust.

And once you're no longer afraid of software, but instead an active creator of software, it's much cheaper and safer to instead employ some open source developers to take care of maintenance for your stuff. The old school enterprise way would have been to pay IBM, Red Hat, Oracle, whoever, millions and tens of millions of dollars in support for Cover-Your-A** type policies set by middle managers.

FAANG & co. instead hire developers for this maintenance, and guess what, once you hire these people, they can do other things for you, because they're generally smart people (and also motivated, can work without supervision, etc.).
Yes, early on the article made me think about a division in the music industry I didn’t think about specifically before. So far so good. ~50 pages later I had no more to show for it than a number of interesting tangents.

Why did rock die? Dylan? AARP? All but forgotten.
I was just mulling this over in my head compared to my guitar playing experience.

I am self-taught (some friends helped) and have played for just over 20 years.

I'm assuming here that you are not trying to learn classical guitar, if you are I think you should find a real teacher. I urge you to learn rock music by playing songs. I was an indie rock fan, and started off strumming the chords to my favourite songs. It is relatively easy to do, and the rewards come quickly. The trick is to find a song you like that uses simple open chords, and not too many of them! My first tune was 'Live Forever by Oasis' as an example (cringe). For something more tasteful try 'knocking on heaven's door' by Dylan. It is easy to read chord diagrams. Get a few thin picks and go for it. Really just go for it, the changes will speed up by themselves and the strumming patterns will too, by listening to the song and imitating. Now pick another song with some of the sme chords. A month of evenings can get you reasonably proficient. If you have a friend who is a bit further along then play with them Whenever you can. This is about as far as lots of famous musicians ever got. Remember that!

Alongside this you can try out some riffs. 'Smoke on the water' is the classic, but go with what you enjoy. Tab for these is free online and easy to read. Find a riff you like, if you have a friend who can play the chords while you riff that is fun. You learn riffs like the guy in the article, note by note.

Learning to solo is harder. I used to buy tab books and copy solos I liked. Eventually I realised that I needed to understand some very basic theory, like 'Keys' and 'scales'. I read this in a book but you can google. This is easy on a guitar because you only have to learn a scale shape once and you can change key by playing it in different places on the neck. If you like blues and rock and roll then you only need to learn the minor pentatonic scale to begin with. These 5 notes made many a solo. By running through those 5 notes you start to form licks and phrases you can use. The best way to learn this is to learn to play a basic 12 bar blues shuffle, and play with a friend, taking it in turns to solo. The second best way is a looper or backing track.

I then wanted to play folk fingerstyle. I found the tab for Nick Drake's 'Cello Song' in a magazine and spent a year repeating the first main phrase over and over, a few times most days. The rest of the song came exactly like the op and quite quickly. Afterwards I could pick up other fingerstlye songs quite quickly.

I don't know how to play Jazz.

I think the cap this way of learning places on you is that you don't learn much theory, which makes it hard to arrange songs, compose, etc. Just remember that a lot of the people you are listening to are in the same boat...

You can buy "datacenter-grade" drives from WD on their website, which are presumably of higher quality.

Either way, though, this is going to cost five figures, annually, to store in S3. For half of one year of S3 you can have a fairly robust RAID setup, maybe replace 1 drive every two years, and enjoy the data any time you want it without fees-as-a-service.

It's a trade-off, you trade certainty of types validated by the java compiler that comes with alot of ceremony with conciseness and agility provided by the repl, the downside being you need to ensure the result via tests and discipline.

Source code quality and developer ergonomics are somewhat subjective, so its natural different people have different opinions.

Personally, I quite like the clojure tradeoffs.

After about 9 years learning piano as a kid I had one year of tuition from a concert pianist when I went to University.

He was an excellent teacher - one of the things he majored on was ‘blind’ familiarity with the keyboard. He would get you to close your eyes, then ask you to pick out, for example, all the Cs on the keyboard going up the octaves. Made a huge difference to my confidence in positioning my hands at speed…

Staying is an equally good option as switching in this version if the host revealed a goat, since the host randomly revealing a goat now makes it more likely that your initial choice was correct.

P(initial choice is correct) = 1/3

P(host shows goat) = 2/3

P(host shows goat | initial choice is correct) = 1

and vice versa P(host shows goat | initial choice is wrong) = 1/2

Applying Bayes:

P(initial choice is correct | host shows goat) = P(host shows goat | initial choice is correct) * P(initial choice is correct) / P(host shows goat) = 1 * 1/3 / (2/3) = 1/2

So, initial choice now has 1/2 odds for being right. The host revealing a goat gave us information on whether he was playing the P=1/2 or the P=1 game.

Intuitively applying this with the 100 door version: the host getting lucky and revealing 98 goats in a row makes it fairly likely that the initial door was correct all along and they didn't get super lucky avoiding the car 98 times, as there's a good chance the contestant helped them by hiding the car.
