When somebody ask me how to pronounce my username: https://music-grid.surge.sh/#384-320-128-0-384-64-384-64-384...

EDIT: I don't know anything about music but... wouldn't it make sense to run left-to-right instead of top-to-down?

EDIT: obviously, this comment broke the "curve". This distribution is known for being unstable.

Never heard about this. I'm starting to read some things and it seems interesting. Thanks!

And about this: > Or more specifically, just getting the term for it. I spent years trying to articulate in my own mind many of the ideas in Taleb's book, and once I had a word for it I could see it everywhere

It is called Hypocognition, I recently read about it here [1] and here [2], and that blew my mind.
