> I V vi IV is the four chords that an alarming share of pop music is built from.
This is in line with hundreds of years of authors "explaining" music by starting with Pythagoras for their bona fides, then using that credibility to rationalize whatever opinions they hold about musical aesthetics.
To counter: these guys[1] play I-IV-V-I for nearly the whole song. They don't even change it between the verse and chorus. Someone here tell me the one important exception and the term from music theory that describes that exception.
Primers should start with the music excerpt that the author loves, and work backwards to the theory that helps explain what's going on. Otherwise it gets pretentious fast.
I put a short link on a family thing and someone complained it didn't work. Turns out iOS OCR recognised a "-" as a "=", so this isn't just people typing it wrong.
Now my short links implement case insensitivity and striping all non alphanumeric characters, i.e. a "-" is optional and any other symbol character is also stripped.
nyc.gov seems to do case insensitivity but doesn't strip "-", so you do need the "-".
> I don't know what's going to happen. Maybe I'll need to figure out childcare, maybe I won't. Maybe I'll have food to eat this weekend, maybe I won't. Maybe my job will go away next year, maybe it won't. Today, there's work, and I'll do that work as best I can. Today, there's evidence things are changing, and I can be aware of that. Today, I can do something prudent to make myself more resilient towards whatever may or may not happen. Tomorrow, if something happens, I can react accordingly.
I take it you've never worked on realtime software. :)
For most Americans with kids, if they don't figure out childcare they will miss deadlines. By missing deadlines they risk systemic failures: failure to make enough income to eat, keep their job, pay for healthcare, etc.
It's easy to get Tao-ish about meeting deadlines when your buffer is above 100k.
My buffer is below that, and I've absolutely dealt with missing deadlines such as those in the past, yet this mindset and approach to the world has managed to keep me sane throughout. :)
That's not to say that things aren't easier or harder at different levels, but you can still approach life from that perspective no matter where you are at. I've always lived a life far from the the income levels that are common around these parts, and this is how I've to sustained myself and remained happy.
The end of the AI's first sub-phrase in the video is wrong.
You started by playing a simple I - vii - I as the first sub-phrase. Then the AI started its response with a dominant 7th-chord. In the vast majority of cases I can think of from the Classical era, the AI's sub-phrase would end with a half-cadence. So, including what you played, the first two sub-phrases would look like this:
I - vii - I
V(7) - I - V
But instead, the AI took the unusual step of having a full cadence for that 2nd sub-phrase. This in music is what someone might call a "double beat" in screenwriting.
Moreover, there are no half cadences in the phrase after that. It's all full cadences in the tonic key, plus two plagal cadences over a tonic pedal there in the 2nd phrase. Each sub-phrase just extends the tonic. There are idiomatic ways to just stay in the tonic for awhile, like "Horn fifths." But this excerpt isn't idiomatic and sounds like the composer accidentally forgot to develop the harmony.
I'm going to claim that this excerpt would sound like the musical equivalent of a run-on sentence to any composer who lived from the time of J.S. Bach to Robert Schumann. And from Mahler on they'd assume you're thumbing your nose at convention.
Put another way: the kind of student who'd use this to finish a harmony exercise would end up getting the same grade they would have gotten doing it on their own.
This isn't too far from the Bad Creek Project, a 1.5MW peaker plant drilled into a mountain by Duke Power in the 90s that drains into the lake below.
It, too, has a road to nowhere. However, that road has a public access overlook, complete with a view of the lake below and an enormous Francis turbine sitting smack dab in middle of the parking lot. Is that a scale model of the one inside the mountain? An old broken one? I don't know.
Apparently they use solar power to help run the turbine in reverse during off-hours to shoot the water back up to the bad creek reservoir.

Similarly, letting pilots skip the security check is no big deal. Just check the id_hash of their _pilot_struct against the ids in the day's flight manifest for the current frame being evaluated in the fully verified Rust-based simulation of reality.
If people are really that worried about "exploits" they're free to set a save point before arriving to the airport that morning.
Edit: important clarification wrt the fully verified Rust-based simulation of reality.
In-person, high-risk rule-breaking that's hard to validate has a tendency to scale differently from say, pasting a value into a lottery/payment app.
I mean, compare the number of people who've flown over Barbara Streisand's property to take a picture of her house to the number of people who had a copy of said picture in their browser cache.
You can read more about this peculiar scaling factor of the internet in Bill Gates 1995 book The Road Ahead.
