"No one spoke out" <- this is just demonstrably false. If you want to live in a doomfantasy be my guest, but don't lie.

> If AI can do all the homework we have to ask ourselves how much value the homework had in the first place.

That's just inane. The existence of the nailgun does not mean learning how to swing a hammer has no value.

Maybe don't write about something you don't know?

Yeah fair, I guess I should've said they shouldn't be weighting it so strongly in the heuristic (if that's even at play in this case).

My work web filter is blocking it as well due to "newly registered and observed domains", but I don't think Google should be using that as a heuristic.

Spent the whole essay typing them incorrectly. There should not be spaces surrounding an emdash.

Incorrect. The major scale intervals are whole-whole-half-whole-whole-whole-half, so no, you do not "simply add 2 to each note".

There is no "objective" foundation to music.

Mapping twelve letters onto a piano keyboard would then look something like this:

     B D  G I K
    A C EF H J LA
Which means an A major scale in this notation would be ACEFHJLA, which is actually less intuitive than understanding the circle of fifths etc. and arriving at ABC#DEF#G#A (to use this universe's notation)

Hey, this guy taught me Operating Systems! He was a great lecturer despite his own preference for book learning :-)

There's a similar model for the entire Great Lakes watershed at Discovery World in Milwaukee. You can even press a button to make it rain!
