Basically it uses a regular pattern of keys, instead of staggering keys into pentatonic and diatonic scales, like a piano does.
This makes it harder to "find" the diatonic scales, but easier to transpose between different keys.
You can see an example here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kMD1qXtDAdg
It's not required that the pitch notation is absolute though, e.g. you can transpose the numeric notation to any key (e.g., use A == 0 instead of C ==0)
I've been playing around with a new kind of isomorphic music keyboard that uses a base-12 notation, and wanted some sheet music to learn some new music for it.The idea is to represent each note in 12-TET as a number, so N ∈ (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,X,Y).I used codex to build a music score rendering backend based on MuseScore with custom note heads that display the pitch class of each note.I've...
When you are a patient, you are not a person, you are an object of medical care. There is an algorithm, a schedule; the arrival of new doctors and nurses at each shift change. They meet and talk with each other about how their objects are doing, and then they'll check in on you with a formal hello, 30 seconds of conversation, and then they'll leave.
If a patient has signs of mental illness, the providers draw straws to see who has the unlucky job of: "talk to the patient, but gently remind them that they are an object on a medical assembly line and probably nothing is going to happen until the next doctor comes around".
I don't know if hospitals have always been this way, or if we just romanticized them in the old movies. But unless you have a specific problem that medical intervention can solve (e.g., a medicine or a procedure), you are effectively a nobody, and there is nobody there that cares about you - at least for the definition of care that matters to most humans.
Can’t imagine Google is making the process of obtaining source code easier on themselves though.
Android has always been more source-open than “open source”. The vast majority of community contributions that make it into the codebase are security fixes and small bug fixes.
Everything else is essentially all the work of Google and (to some extent) Samsung.
It would be interesting if you could simulate and then print (or laser cut) your own instrument on demand.
Literally the canonical example of capitalism-as-meat-grinder.
0) agent gets its own separate git user and ssh key, separate from mine
1) branch protection rules on main, only I can approve merges into main
2) any other ssh key uses (interactive login, direct git access, etc.) are ed25519-sk keys and require a touch on yubikey.
TBH, the biggest hole is that it can be unclear exactly what process is requesting a touch on the yubikey. Apple has a head start here because they can lock down the TouchID UX relatively well, but unfortunately they don’t seem to care about building a polished developer experience for 2FA on sensitive tasks.
They are probably waiting for someone else to build the right solution and then copy/steal it.
Seriously though if you are letting agents do whatever they want without a PR process that requires hardware authentication or proof of presence, you are putting your code and your org at high risk.
Is that inclusive of the entire egg->fry->fish cycle? I wouldn't be surprised if wild fish had extremely high "infant mortality" compared to hatchery fish
I don't know what the political undertones are here, but at some level you need to have actual ground truth, including "this person/household declined".
Publishing raw data though? That seems like shooting yourself in the foot from a national security perspective, not to mention all the other reasons not to do it.
If Gemini seems stupid nowadays, it's only because they're being stingy with compute allocation.

Ableton and Max are totally separate codebases, and "Max for Live" is just a ~VST interface between them.
I do agree that "scriptable Ableton" would be far better for production and sound design than Max, because they make all the hard parts easy: MIDI, sequencing, mixing, etc.
In Max, you have to build everything from scratch, every time.
However, you're right that most people at these companies are so accustomed to the "free money faucet" from ads, huge margins, etc. that it's incredibly easy to end up totally disconnected from reality. That's probably what frustrates you the most.
I will say - after having left Google just about a year ago now - that there is literally no better time to make money in tech than right now. AI is eroding the moat of all large tech companies, and skilled individuals with passion and drive can make a huge impact on the world with an incredibly small budget.
You'll make it. All of us will.
Margins are incredibly thin unless you're on the bleeding edge. It's not an easy business. You need to move millions and millions of chips to make a profit, and that means your FAEs are working directly with companies who are actually paying you for chips instead of trying to write perfect documentation for the open source community.
the biggest issue is that actually contributing to upstream is an *incredibly* difficult and painful process.
