Show HN: JazzKeys.fyi – Tutorials for jazz and funk keyboard players
Web developer and jazz piano player here. I’ve just launched JazzKeys.fyi (https://JazzKeys.fyi), a website of tutorials covering bebop, modern jazz, blues and funk. It’s more or less a brain dump of some of what I’ve learned over the course of playing and studying jazz for ~25 years. I would likely have found it useful back when I started, and I created it in the hope that it might be helpful to others.

The main audience for the site is people who already have some facility in playing a keyboard instrument (in any genre), and who want to learn jazz or improve their jazz playing. It assumes a basic understanding of how scales and chords work.

Building the animated keyboard that accompanies each musical example was quite a rewarding technical challenge. For anyone interested in the details, there is a blog post about it at https://www.jamieonkeys.dev/posts/piano-keyboard-javascript/.

I hope folk find the site to be a helpful resource. Feedback and bug reports welcome!
They say what it is: "This is a free research preview. Our goal is to get external feedback in order to improve our systems and make them safer."

It is not a product. They open it so that public can contribute to help them.

They do not say the aim of this research.
I don’t print much, but i do need to print things several times a month, I would definitely miss it.

Probably my biggest use case is printing off maps for hiking trips.
I did try to help him in any way I could, but didn't know the language he was using so I was not able to actually code for him. Couple of examples: I made a Node.js program to help him debug why a 3rd-party endpoint he had to call wasn't working, documented the endpoints he was doing (learned Swagger for that), and acted as intermediary between him and our manager to try to reduce the scope of the work or to at least ship in two parts.
The onus is on the customers to realize that the has been an issue, and they would be eligible for a refund (minus inflation).

Then there are shipping costs, likely the customers bought it from a local retainer, that may or may not be in business... The endless emails and phone calls. Overall the customers are not in any position of power without a forced recall.
But isn't function call chaining generally an antipattern? And you can do it without Universal Function Call Syntax anyway, and besides... it's ugly as hell.

# Writing it like this is bad:

In the other thread someone mentioned that loads of startups are pulling their money out of SV Bank - if you pull out too late, is it feasible that some startups that have their venture capital in SV Bank will get into serious problems as well as they cannot access their funds anymore?

If that were the case, we would probably see lots of companies with dramatically reduced runway in the near future. And all that in a difficult VC market. Doesn't bode well.
It's kind of similar to audio vs video. Although audio requires less data and processing than video, it's much more difficult to get the audio good than the video and if the audio is bad or even missing for some time, it's useless, while if the video is bad, stuck or missing, it's not that big of a deal most of the time.

This is particularly true in a video conferencing situation. If the audio is bad, you miss out a lot. If the video is bad, it's not a big deal.
If it's heavy like a "real" car, then yeah. It should be made relatively lightweight, like 300-400 kg in total.
The existence of the nerve itself is fine, we need it for talking. It's just that the layout is a total mess.
I was hoping to find how to change the number of GPG passphrase/PIN retries (the default of 3 is panic-inducing after just fat fingering it once) - I did it on one of mine some time ago, but haven't been able to figure it out again recently for another one. Sorry, it's a bit of a tangent, but if anyone happens to know?

Hi, the value add in the commercial offering on top of raw OSM is described here:

The assertion seems to be that epistemology is boils down to data crunching.

But is epistemology purely empirical?

Color me skeptical. One feels that we're nailing the easy 3/4 of the question or so.
Interesting, congratulations on the launch! Can you explain a bit more how is this different from Udemy/Coursera?
As opposed to the template emails that it replaces?

Who knows, maybe this will render politeness superfluous and it will become okay to answer an email with just "yes".

I knew some backend dev stuff (Node.js) and am very much interested. This was Go, and while I wasn't particularly interested (I'd prefer to continue with Node) I would compromise and learn Go to help him and the project. I suggested it but again our manager was strongly against it.

Something I didn't mention which adds an extra of why I was unable to help, this was in Japan, and the backend-{everything} was performed in Japanese while I didn't speak the language, so talk about "not knowing the language" they were using.
What ad hominem? I'm not refuting anything you said. I just have no idea what is the point you're getting at. Do you want to crusade against bad books? I'm getting a lot of sentiment and no real argument or actionable advice in your comments.

There are print on demand options down to single page single copy documents cheap enough I probably won't replace my printer next time as my printing need is now so infrequent. Only issue I've seen is that few of them seem to offer immediate courier service. Many will offer same day, though, and I'm sure most others could arrange a courier if you go through the hassle of calling.
What I do is I don't ask it to generate results, but to give me a program that does the processing, then have it give me a test suite where I can 'trivially' (usually) verify the program on synthetic data (which, of course, I also have ChatGPT create for me). It usually even includes good edge cases.

I've had a few times where I didn't like the library that it used to come to the results, I just told it 'use library xyz' and it would rewrite the whole thing using idioms native to that library. It's amazing. It's eliminated like 75% of the drudgery that I've come to hate so much about programming the last years.
I don't think this shows at all that ChatGPT can access the internet? It looks like ChatGPT was given a URL with a title and hallucinated a blog post based on that title. The author then brushes it off as 'written in a different style', when it just looks like a totally different article overall (or maybe it's testament to the fact that too many Medium articles are low quality and indistinguishable from the output of a LLM!)

If anything, this blog post is a perfect example about how people can put in whatever they want as an input and take the output as truth, without any rigorous approach about what would count as a true fact about the model.
Specifically because they said they only found stuff on emissions. Never tried it without.

It's one of the most common patterns I come across. I search word X but find a bunch of word Y stuff that's not what I'm looking for, because word X and Y appear together a lot in Y's context. So I add -Y to the query.
It sounds fair to me that a developer hired to do front-end work does not want to do back-end. I can't blame him for setting boundaries, especially in a dysfunctional management workplace.

I've been in the back-end developer's situation and I still didn't think it is fair for others to re-specialize and help me in a large company. It's neither mine nor their fault the management is incompetent.

If this was a small company with a close-knit team covering for each other's blind spots, then it could be different. But what was described was at least a medium-sized company where in all likelihood the manager was paid a good amount of money to be competent at their job.

And instead the manager played games, saw the results of their actions, tried to slide the blame onto the person they made fail, and lost good engineers. The situation was completely in the manager's hands and so are the results. If we start expecting people to manage themselves under the managers, then what is the manager doing? Are they just a liability to the company with no upside? The role doesn't make sense then.

Here's a practical advice question -- if one's holdings / savings in brokerages, etc. are in government money market funds, are you safe from a bank run? I.e. it's not explicitly cash that the bank could have lent out, but rather a fund? I assume of course that stock holdings, ETFs, etc. are absolutely things you "own" once they are settled in your account. Right...?

(say, like you keep most of your stuff in Fidelity or Vanguard typical kinds of brokerage accounts)
Not the OP, but all I see is a ham-fisted attempt by some writer at The Economist to try and whitewash the "credibility" of his ideological colleagues working for the Anglo intelligence agencies (there's a very high probability that both the writer and many of the people working for those intelligence agencies have attended the same schools and hold the same ideological views).

It's a reversion to the mean of "ackchyually, they didn't really want to say that, and this is why". The percentage thing is just the scientist cherry on top.
Post exertion symptom exacerbation however is worse because many other symptoms get worse the follow days, weeks even months after that visit to the doctors. This is what makes the disease so horrific because doing things you need to do worsen everything afterwards and sometimes you don't recover so you get iller and iller the more you push through. That isn't just fatigue.
>The onus is on the customers to realize that the has been an issue,

If the customer has no issues there are no issues right?

>Then there are shipping costs, likely the customers bought it from a local retainer, that may or may not be in business...

Again it's an HP and you send it directly to them, the MANUFACTURER has to cover all costs. Your retailer has not made the update so he should have nothing to do with it.

>The endless emails and phone calls.

One email: My printer (serial-number) worked for two years with that toner, since your update it's not working anymore (error blablabla), roll back that update or send me a shipping label.

>Overall the customers are not in any position of power without a forced recall.

Time to change that then right? Restore the functionality of my device or take it back.

How I failed my first startup
The way I see it, ranking the web was the easy part but it has already started to become hard.

It's an old trope that search engine results were fantastic around 2010, but these days there's so much bloat and SEO to deal with that ranking is becoming intractable.

I miss the days of Youtube dislikes where you can instantly see whether a tutorial is going to be any help. I figure with decent moderation for bad actors, a system like this could definitely work. Take the success of Reddit / HN / StackOverflow as proof of it.
It is not an electron app. And energy efficiency numbers people will look at when buying/comparing.
Can you explain why you believe this to be the case? Let's say you log the user in. Yes, you need consent to store a login cookie, but that doesn't mean you need "a banner and explicit opt-in". You only need explicit opt-in, which you can do by... putting a "remember me" box next to your login form[1]. Is that really so hard?

> it's open source (and therefore free).

Nitpick, but this isn't always true.
if the intuition is based on images taking more space to encode than text, then it's a false intuition because the size of models is not correlated to the encoding size of the individual data points - it's correlated instead to the amount of relevant choices the model can make and the complexity of the dynamics in the model

I don't think general assertions like "language is more complicated" are congruent or meaningful, it really depends on what the model is trying to achieve; it's the complexity of that which will require a larger or smaller model

I never said there's a hundred feet range around every child which makes work impossible. Only that you can't say that you can "just watch" the child, and expect to do work in the meantime. People do try this, on occasion.
I think it's worse than that. We're doing a great job of generating text which looks reasonable X% of the time.

Which doesn't actually mean we've solved X% of the question - because there is no way of building on top of what we have to close the gap.

A person can live for decades before creating an HN account.

> I have used more UNIXes in my life that you probably know about.

I've used 5 different unix kernels. I've even read manpages instead of taking pride in not reading documentation, like some HN users with a large ego.

> Some education for you about fork(),

I'm perfectly aware of the issues of fork() when threading is in use. There are a lot of issues to keep track of when using threads. One more, doesn't really make much difference.

How do you do this? https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/daemon.3.html

Do you plan on replying to my question? What do you use instead of fork()?
Back the day, when I still tried to get my own boot-strapped start-up of the ground (I didn't succeed), I always made a point in working, were needed and when mission-critical, with large, legacy and global vendors. That included software (it came from Wisetech for everything ops relevant, and MS for the rest), insurance (Allianz), banking (I used a local, decades old bank that is part of a national network of similar banks using the same brand and offering all the account security one can imagine)... Why on earth would a SV start-up put its tens to hundreds (?) of millions in a bank that is not too big to fail? And why is the money sitting in a single bank, instead of multiple conservative and secure ones? Deutsche Bank won't go under ever, neither will UBS.

SVB sounds like one of those start-up like fintechs that constantly advertise on Youtube for everything from insurance to taxes to banking, assuming Youtube users are on average to young to know that solid, legacy solutions for all of this exist already.
The cat and mouse game of "cracking" the toner/ink chips has gone on as long as they have existed. It's been over a decade since I worked for Xerox on these kinds of chips, so they may have gotten much more complex and expensive since then, but it was always quite a delicate game internally as to what kinds of technology we would actually deploy as it's a very delicate balance from a legal standpoint.

Lexmark has historically always taken things too far on the legal side and really ruined the ability for printer companies to "protect" their toner/ink sales from 3rd parties. One recent way Lexmark has taken this too far is: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/16pdf/15-1189_ebfj.pdf

That's not the first time Lexmark has ended up in front of the US Supreme Court for similar shenanigans. I don't believe they've ever had good luck when cases have made it to higher courts.
It works, too. I asked it for the history of a term, and it gave a very plausible-sounding answer citing three different links. All of them were to the same page that didn't say what Bing said it did. A rare miss, but at least I could check its work.
>The punishment should be blunt, uniform, and intimidating! This is absolutely a situation for fines!

To cover refund is a much bigger "fine" and the money flows directly back to those who suffered, that's not the case with fines, and fines are mostly small change for big-corps.

Just extend the rights of Customers and everything could be fine.

It is just simply too hard to read several hundred papers and do bin-surfing to find out what was done in the historical past of computing and grab the timeless ideas.

We need government/grant supported researchers and tech writers who can do this work and create a curated, focused bunch of books describing the best methods and designs. I found the Architecture of Open Source Apps to be amazing, but we need something regularly maintained for all software domains.
No, I do not mean that. I provided it the URL and then asked it to use the contents of the CPU table from the invoke-request to strip away everything after the X and it not only did it, it even provided the example output of the array it modified.

Here is an excerpt from my chat:

"
can you please modify the current array using the Microsoft listed CPUs in totality from the URL https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/mi...

Certainly! Here's the updated $compatibleCPUs array based on the list of supported Intel processors for Windows 11 version 21H2 from Microsoft's documentation:

Makes sense. Labor-intensive jobs tend to have higher pay, as well as being nearly exclusively male.
> So no, unless I read it wrong, it was not off by default.

I wrote it wrong. The feature was 'turned' off by default after that bug.

> Compare it to the affiliate link suggestion screenshot:

Suggestion is not what's wrong. The suggestion replacing the URL was what was wrong.

> It was clearly meant to fly under the radar.

Just like how the rest of the things like Brave News, Brave Talk or Brave Search do. I don't see an issue here? They don't force a lot of stuff in your face, it's evident to anyone who uses the browser. They keep most things off by default, that's what their strategy has become.

When it was not the case (when the browser was like 5 months old), it was changed. I don't see why people are still holding it against them?

> There might be no privacy concerns here, but I still think this is a bit shady.

I don't think it was shady because, as discussed, it was a bug that was acknowledged by them, and they not only removed the affiliate links but also turned the auto-suggest feature off by default. https://github.com/brave/brave-core/commit/e8fdde70a3ac2c25e...

Now, it's up to your interpretation to classify this as shady or not, but I personally don't think this was as big of a deal. People still holding on to it is the reason I cannot take these comments seriously. Edge and Chrome with all that spyware are most HN users' favorite browsers.

I'm more surprised that auriculotherapy was recognised by the WHO and I still struggle to find rich medical literature on the subject (maybe looking in the wrong places) although I must admit it helped me a lot, placebo or not (sure didn't feel like one... The reactions and changes were, in my case, drastic to say the least - I haven't had a painful migraine in 10 years - though I still get the other symptoms but no pain, thank doc or my gullible brain).
> They also slow things down. This can be unacceptable for power users, who just want to "get things done". As a practical example, I can't use Apple's "spaces", because they force me to sit through an animated transition when switching between screens/workspaces/whatever. It's fun the first time, but gets really old after a hundred or so.

That's how I feel about MacOS virtual desktops.

You used to be able to configure it so that there was no animation, but they removed that options a while back.
If withdraws are frozen then yes it would mean whoever's left in is insolvent - they can't make payroll.

At that point, you'd need a fed bailout. Because they're FDIC insured you'd have up-to 250k coming back, but that's probably not helpful.
Good afternoon, fellow Imposter Syndrome Haver :) Just jumping in to say that you are most likely not a pretender or an idiot, you're probably just very self-conscious, hold yourself to high standards and give yourself lofty goals.
> You don't need conversion therapy to eliminate transgenderism; you just have to stop recognizing it at all, and treat people based on their biological sex.

That does sound very compelling, when the alternative is what we are witnessing today, with males gaining access to what were previously female-only spaces, disregarding the boundaries of women and girls where they are most vulnerable.

It's becoming increasingly clear that transgenderism is a form of male dominance over women, and should be opposed like other forms of sexism. Women are being made second-class citizens again, but this time it's being touted as progressive.
