Yes; I learned it that way as well but I was never able to write them smoothly or legibly. I consciously practiced cursive in adulthood and only then discovered the mirrored-c tech…

I figured the same, but I did not encounter such exercises, and regardless having the ability to send sysex to my MIDI devices is not required for such a thing.

This site insisted on having write access to my connected MIDI devices, which is a bit concerning as it's not required for what the site actually does.

This is rather moving the goalposts from "plausibly human comment" to "meaningful literature", I think

I've always kind of assumed in the industry when it comes to top 40 music this kind of thing has been in heavy use at big labels since at least the dawn of the millenium when Pro T…

The other replies have explained what's jumping out but I'd agree that without the other surrounding sentences of the article's introduction I'd be inclined to think that quoted se…

I believe Poe's law makes it basically inescapable and HN is no exception to it

People have been talking about the book on here since it came out; I see no reason to believe people aren't genuinely interested in it. I loved it, personally.

In my experience, the Epic downloader would frequently lead to degraded performance and/or system instability when I'd leave it running; I've never noticed such problems at all wit…

I accidentally clicked through the explanatory text after the first slide (I was still clicking the pump and didn't realize one more click was going to skip through); I have not be…

The scare quotes around words that don't warrant it, or are unnecessarily idiosyncratic, are something I get pretty often in response text from Gemini.

I'm really surprised that didn't jump out at more people; I had to get halfway through the comments to the 27th mention of "Department of War" to find the first comment pointing ou…

For me there seems to be a listing of configurable settings or something but it only pops up for a single frame after I right-click-drag a component - this seems like a broken mous…

I strongly suspect there's a major component of this type of experience being that people develop a way of talking to a particular LLM that's very efficient and works well for them…

While this is certainly very true, I find coding through an LLM to require far less effort dedicated to this cognitive switching than does writing in some programming language, pri…

I just kept scrolling, hoping it would learn from how long I paused over content to read it the way FB's seems to, but it seems you're right, in this case "likes" are required.

It's really a stretch for the article to suggest their gear might not have supported fractional bpm. MIDI itself has always supported it and analog sequencers before that support i…

All I can really say is that doesn't match my experience. If I fix something that it implemented due to a "misunderstanding" then it usually tends to break it again a few messages …

For me it just depends. If the response to my prompt shows the model misunderstood something, then I go back and retry the previous prompt again. Otherwise the "wrong ideas" that i…

Fair enough, but I was interpreting it as "hopefully, but not necessarily". Some would say there's no such thing as bad publicity!
