ive also been trying to find my mojo back especially the last few years.I do get major spurts of massive productivity and optimism like an unplanned incident that i try to analyze later to recapture but it crashes back into the usual with pessimism about the future. I've noticed publishing non-AI assisted writing (even without an audience) helps.

One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn - its about a russian soldier's life in a soviet labor camp and his fight for survival. Great read.

Had a similar experience when my talented lead engineer, who usually grunts in monosyllables and writes terse responses to my apparently intellectually frivolous questions, started adding flowery emojis to his email.

You configure a preset, then touch to change presets while playing instead of kneeling down. Its like a remote control for MIDI effects pedals. Probably more useful if you have complicated live setup with a long setlist filled with a lot of effects.

Very cool analogy with Rachmaninoff. The quirks are the differentiator and its important to recognize these deliberate choices you point out and it's not just a checklist. (Note to self to annotate more and deliberately study/reflect on those annotations to understand that construction/quirk)

Very interesting. Yes - the way the narrative is constructed is probably more accessible to understand.

> I often catch myself imitating the flow, style,

Its a struggle trying to "imitate the style" in writing. In music, you could keep playing all the songs in the style of your favorite artist and possible develop a close stylistic proximity to what you're imitating but in writing do you just write prose with the same wordings? i get the keep reading to develop your style but feels like adapting a style you want to master and then make your own variant is way harder in writing.

This is amazing. Great inspiration to train a model for a midi electric guitar solo. Though with bends, vibratos, mutes, harmonics, dive bombs etc as part of the event feed, it may possibly create way more events than this which means more training I suppose.

Have much more respect for "yard work" after realizing how therapeutic it is.Hours in the sun doing heavy work after sitting at a desk all week is incredibly relaxing and something i look forward to.

this site renders terrible. how did this get on HN front news lol?

Pls open source!!

Very cool

Very slick and smooth. The insights pages need a link to go back to the main page. Bookmarking.
