If the president favors one party over another with no clear benefit to the voters, that is very indicative of corruption. If his organization is also getting donations from said party, it is even more certain to be corruption.

You argue that the courts are not corrupt, hence there is no corruption. Without considering the president.

Thanks for your writeup! Nice insightful read.

Personally I think musical notation should be optimized for ease of playing first and foremost - and I think that would be best achieved with a 1-to-1 mapping to the pitch. I.e. if I just want to play a piece in an orchestra, it's easiest if it just literally says the notes. Having to parse what a note with a double flat actually is on the fly is just unnecessary mental labour, when the information you need as a player is just 'what note do I need to play'.

I also imagine that transposing is a lot easier if I was reading piano roll notation - just play the note but X down.

It's easy enough to extend piano roll notation or something like it with hints regarding what interval it is etc, so you have both benefits.

For the rithm though I always found the existing notation intuitive, piano roll probably would be hard to parse in that regard.

I suppose it makes historical sense, and even ingeniously designed.

But it, and the piano black keys with it, are definitely not optimal. It makes playing in C easy, and playing in anything else hard. I've picked up a new instrument since ~2 months, and 1 month in I could already play all scales by by deliberately staying away from music notation, learning the raw distances/steps that make up a scale and how to play them, rather than the 'delta from C', which is how classical training taught me to think. (Same story for chords etc)

Same (Opus 4.8 vs gpt 5.5)

I keep having to correct 4.8, but 5.5 more often than not is correcting me.

Opus writes a bit nicer though and it is easier to follow wat it is doing/saying. Not too different experience from talking to humans: 5.5 feels like a very smart 'nerd' that doesn't make a huge effort to communicate wel, while Opus is a bit less intelligent but that makes it's ideas easier to communicate

Have you seen their revenue growth?

You can pony up however much money you want and show customers the founding document that says the amount the company was started with. I believe it's usually publically available even.

Forcing certain minimum amounts is just arbitrary gatekeeping and prevents companies that don't need that 'trust' and don't have the money from being created.

I guess to truly calculate it you need to estimate how long it will take to get the ROI (i.e. reach the point where you need to pay taxes on the 150billion). And add back what you can earn by investing the money you didn't have to pay taxes on. I'm not sure what the magnificent 7 can expect as a ROI on invested money though, given that they tend to have enough cash to invest anyways and just pay out dividends.

I believe these gpus dont have direct hdmi/DisplayPort outputs, so at the very least its tricky to even run a game on them, I guess you need to run the game in a VM or so?
