A great tool is, believe it or not, Ocaml/Rescript!!
I was tired not remembering how to name intervals, construct chords, my arpeggios and scales and what not. So I coded it to help me figure all of that out. I also wanted a frontend to visualize all of this because notes on the guitar are all mixed up and it's hard to reason about when you have a terrible memory like I do:
I also have some notes on that repo that have helped me a lot where I can summarize my findings. But this exercise has been enlightening. Both from the coding and musical perspectives. Because Ocaml really forces you to model music and thus ensure that you understand the concepts which helps you remember them.
I can finally start soloing over chord progressions using arpeggios now! It's essentially comes down to playing a scale in thirds starting on the chord root note on chord changes! And I can finally understand my fretboard without having to look at my frontend's chord diagrams anymore. I still don't know the notes, but I understand their relations with each other.
I've also started learning jazz because it's a lot more theory based than pop/rock since you have a lot more exotic chords and solos are guided by the underlying progression. I really like Jens Larsen's YT channel. It's very hard to get into at first because he goes quite fast, but has some very accessible videos such as this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q2LB45ts0M.
I recall reading a funny article, by some guys at cornell if my memory does not fail me, that concluded that obesity rates were lower in europe because europeans would stop eating when they weren't hungry anymore. Whereas americans would stop eating when turning off the TV (and therefore would continue eating after being full).
Which was in itself the genius of this newton guy. It’s one thing to realise that objects falling accelerate. It’s another to realise that F=ma, and that this can model objects falling as well as a bunch of other things. Surely da Vinci wasn’t lucky enough to have an apple fall on his head ? :)
I used your message as input to this website, and that's what I got :joy:
Your dream reflects your inner desire to find a way to use GPT3 in a way that is both convincing and meaningful.
You feel that there is a gap in the industry for something that is about convincing people with words, rather than being focused on what is right and wrong. You are looking for a place where you can use GPT3 to your advantage, but also be aware of its weaknesses and limitations. You feel that GPT3 could be a great asset to any industry, if it is used correctly and with an awareness of the potential pitfalls. You are looking for a way to apply GPT3 that is both convincing and meaningful, and that will not have significant repercussions if it is applied incorrectly.
Ah ! Interesting ! I haven’t had the time to look, but is the org parser re written in ocaml or does is use emacs ? I’m wondering because I once had so many todos in so many files that it would cripple my org todos when I opened them. I actually rewrote a small Qt/Cpp frontend for my orgmode needs before giving up.
I've got a small XPS, it's just horrible. Mine's 11 months old, my "j" key is already coming off (thanks vim !), the speakers are so small my iphone's louder, the battery life is terrible and I've already had fan problems. It's just a awful awful piece of hardware.
If you buy them in France, I believe they do come with 3 pin chargers. They used to anyway.
But yeah, their aluminium body used to sock me every so often with their 2 pin chargers in the us. Was always kinda surprised they never sold 3 pin chargers like in any other developped county !
