@apropos @phnt @augustus music is an extremely different world for me and I have to be told a lot of things explicitly that other people implicitly get or figure out quickly.

@aetios @grillchen there was a garfield cartoon in the 80s and it was actually pretty entertaining but. this isn't a huge secret that most comic strips in the usa are basically greeting card advertising, which is really weird.
garfield creator jim davis has written that he deliberately created garfield to be commercially popular and sell merchandise, it didn't come out of any sort of creative impulse. he studied the comics market and crafted a product to target a bunch of underexploited themes and turned it into a billion dollars. I think in that sense it is very american for a lot of bad reasons. but then there's things like hemingway, lots of good comic books etc.

@augustus @sun @phnt but it takes a lot of knowledge to even know that means. People really underestimate how silo'd knowledge is, and how deep other fields can be. There are entire technologies like MIDI which everyone could be using all the time, but only musicians use, because non-musicians are oblivious to it. No gamedev making a spaceship game ever thinks: "hey what if I support cheap control surfaces with assignable knobs and wheels and faders? It's technically super easy and very tactile and immersive!" Try to push that and the best you get is a NIH proprietary joystick.
What is singing "in key" and how can you even tell if someone is in key or not? Where is the C on a keyboard? How long should songs be? Is this mix good or bad? What is a 'mix'? What do you mean this progression sounds 'unresolved'??
>don't worry about composition 'rules' or 'guidelines', just think about where your music wants to go
??? ??? ???
REAL statements made by REAL music youtubers
You can actually be middle-aged and start from zero in something that everyone knows and kids are already self-taught experts in. Which is nice in a way, after having been that self-taught kid expert in a different field.

@sun @grillchen well I picked the thing that is for some reason super popular and wondered why
I will concede that I don't have to diss american life for it: that's a bad habit and bad faith argument

@grillchen @aetios I mean you guys picked the bland thing and then complained it's bland. newspapers are notoriously conservative in usa but there's good stuff too.
daily life in america is not bland. sometimes it's violent for example.

@feld @hazlin @gabriel is this broken down by age? because I can appreciate that the virus or the vaccine could whack a person the same if they had an underlying heart weakness, but my concern is the seeming spike of healthy 16-19 year olds dropping dead in the middle of a soccer game. maybe it was just reporting increased but I don't believe it because that would be a news story no matter what, even if it did happen all the time but sporadically.

@apropos @phnt I think that scaling things out, automating, specializing, relying on metrics is what naturally happens as societies grow in size. small artisan commune has the highest and most creativity density but it doesn't scale.
so like to me, what I implied, is that you go down and interact on your close friend/family level where the scale is manageable. there's not a good reason that, because there is pop music for a hundred years now, people stopped getting together and singing on their house porch. you can still do that. you should still do that. AI doesn't wreck that.

@sun @phnt AI's the most exciting for people who have already reduced other humans to what AI can do. Fire most your programmers and instead have huge teams of brainless code monkeys loosely wrangled by the surviving actual programmers? Then you're absolutely blown away: AI can totally replace these people that you've boxed into being cheap and replaceable!
No surprise that this long downward slope in permitted human performance wasn't only in programming, but it's sad everywhere it happens.

@gabriel @hazlin
> data also showed that the shot reduced literally every kind of death (including accidents and murder) which basically means some "healthy user bias" is baked in at minimum.
Obviously that's just the result of humans being in lockdowns really. Hard to have accidents when there's nowhere to drive, etc, hard to murder people who aren't at the local In-N-Out drive thru, etc etc lol so yeah that's weird and dumb, agreed
> But all that is irrelevant because you're asserting that for every case the virus must be more lethal than the shot and that doesn't account for a great many things.
It accounts for a lot, actually. The real disease comes with systemic inflammation and a many other things that the vaccine cannot cause. That's why we know it to be less harmful than the actual virus.
> Some go as far as to argue the whole virus was a charade. In hindsight it's actually pretty hard to rule that out when you consider the fact that the data is making that assertion.
What data?
