    Is this not, like... super common?

    I'm experiencing a flood of referral spam from these same domains. Seems like thousands of other site owners are too. When will Google respond and step in? Clearly the GA4 tag is b…

    With this particular solution, I agree. But LLMs and RAG in general couldn't be further from crypto in terms of utility.

    It's hard to be accountable to oneself. But it's easier to be accountable to others. So, feedback from others motivates me. Seeing people visit my website, even if only a few dozen…

    $45k/month is more than a "side hustle." And Tony's products ARE useful. Or else people wouldn't buy them. Value is subjective.

    How is that "super-weird" or "specific"? If anything, your idea of advanced pieces not being "up" is obscure. > I really can’t think of a less inspiring goal than playing “advanced…

    It's objectively a ceiling if you can't work towards playing the most technically challenging music. It doesn't have to be Bach. You will struggle to learn ANY advanced piano witho…

    Yes, this app could serve as an introduction to piano, but ultimately relying on it will be detrimental to long-term growth. I think the app would b more useful if it helped teach …

    I'm sure you can play piano, but I'm also willing to bet it has put a ceiling on the types of pieces you can learn. Have you tried learning a Chopin Ballade or Bach WTC fugue witho…

    I wouldn't call it "fairly common." There are certainly outliers who play by ear or rely on improvisation, but musicians in all genres rely on sheet music to develop their craft.

    Looks cool design-wise, but who is this for? Although the upfront cost of learning sheet music is a few weeks of study, it quickly becomes worth it due to gains in speed of learnin…

    I don't quite understand hypertension medication. It treats high blood pressure to lower the number for its own sake, but isn't hypertension really a symptom stemming from a root c…

    > If he is demonetized, then his videos won’t get ad placement Not necessarily true. YouTube definitely runs ads on demonetized videos and channels.

    True but not all academic essays are meaningless (a lot are). College admissions essays for instance play a significant role in admissions at top schools.

    Indeed. Ultimately, unrelenting inquiry came to: "I am."

    Funny how many "I"'s and "my"'s in this piece. This was especially ironic: > " I want to kill my ego , or at least substantially break it"
