9 of 10 recruiter emails I get have 3 or 4 paragraphs leaving me none the wiser about the company, the product, the role, or why they thought I'd be interested. At most I get a vague idea of the sector. I hate to say it, but the only ones that aren't always rancid corpspeak are the ones I get from big tech. I expect GPT-3 to set a slightly higher bar. At least GPT-3 fools me once in a while. Recruiters never fool me into thinking they contact people with care.
And let me get you out the way so gp doesn't get sidetracked. Nobody needs pedantry when the subject under discussion is existentially important, and every normal person already knows what the problem is.
Firstly, this is not existentially important aside for the people whose lives are ruined (and will continue to be ruined) by Kiwi Farms. Secondly, "every normal person already knows..." doesn't mean anything, because (a) you don't get to declare what normal is, and (b) you don't know that.
If you'd read the article legalization is never mentioned, and this is specifically about smoking cannabis (not, say, eating edibles you could also buy legally).
Although the (very short) article doesn’t delve into increasing legalization of marijuana, the second sentence and majority of the text is indeed dedicated to the fact that cigarettes are vanishing.
NPR is a federation of smaller public radio stations. The quality of content under the NPR banner is a broad spectrum: they have good stories and they have some that are crap - biased editorials costumed as objective journalism.
NPR stories on average tend to be higher quality than corporate media news, but I think 'accepted paragon' is quite superlative, out of touch, and lacking imagination.
Second off, this is absolutely not accepted fact and they have a lot of controversy, both in their lack of neutral point of view as a government-funded media sources, as well as their coverage of corporate sponsors. NPR is not the American BBC.
Someone needs to coin the “We live in a society” fallacy already. We could call it the “Mark Renton Fallacy” for short. There’s no such thing as society, and even if there is I most certainly have nothing to do with it. Save for at tax time.
Things that have worked for me, an introvert, include emailing former employers and coworkers, and responding to calls for help on social media including sometimes right here.
I don’t think you know what word salad is. If you do, way to use sly accusations of mental illness to discredit, supporting their point that you can’t win an argument without cheating.
I am this kind. Jeez, how old are you and how many life-shorting conditions do you have stacked against you? My strategy has always been to visit each hobby round robin. I'll spend x weeks on music until I'm not feeling it or I finish something, then switch to animation and do the same, then game programming, etc, etc. I've always felt like there's way, way, way, way too much time in a life time but that's because I spend half of it suffering crippling depression. I'm supposed to be working on animation today but I'm here. Imagine how many planets I'd have conquered single handedly if Eliezer Yudkowsky had never started mentioning this frikkin site. Time to go make some use of that freedom.to subscription.
I started asking my father, a concert pianist, composer, and teacher - this question when I was 4. He explained. In my head I said, “Bullshit.” I continued to press him on it periodically until I was a teenager. I still shook my head and thought, “What is wrong with these people.” Now, I can read sheet music just fine, but I still feel like … never mind. I’ve done a ton of composing without once taking any notice of what key any of it was in. And it all sounds fucking great. I prefer to do as much as possible “by ear”. I’m unbelievably stubborn.
tl;dr - Somebody really should have picked up on the autism when I was 4, and MIDI rolls don’t give a shit about keys and accidentals.
MIDI rolls don't, by themselves, make any noise or even inherently define any note frequencies at all.
The frequency of the sound produced by a given synthesizer when it receives any particular MIDI note number is up to the synthesizer. This is part of the point of the MIDI tuning system. The synthesizer and/or the tuning system may very much care about keys and accidentals.
