I tried something similar last week [https://guitar2tabs.klang.io], so I just ran yours with the same song [Surfin St. Helens by The Volcanos] to see how they compared.

* Lamucal did better on the chords--to my ear they're not perfect [e.g. D vs. D minor], but guitar2tabs couldn't do chords at all. * Guitar2tabs did pretty well at figuring out the melody; they couldn't grok the rhythm, but got a pretty decent sequence of notes. Lamucal didn't even try; the "tab" is just a list of chords.

One very nice feature of guitar2tabs is that you can play either the original audio or the extracted music, so you can hear how close it is. I'd recommend adding that--just playing the original is still useful, to see they sync with the extracted music, but playing the extraction is more so.


I carried a CO2 meter on a flight recently, to use CO2 as a proxy for COVID risk. The levels were quite high for the whole flight--over 1000 pretty much the whole time iirc and worse on the tarmac.


How did you calibrate the meter for the changing temperature and pressure? Most CO2 meter designs are extremely sensitive to pressure changes.


It's a cheap portable, with no calibration possible. I have no idea what effect pressure would have on it, unfortunately.


There are geared unicycles, e.g. https://krisholm.com/en/gear/component/kh-schlumpf Folks I know who've used them liked them because they took the place of both a 24" and a 36" wheel, in one unicycle. I don't know that they ever changed gears while riding, although I'm told it's possible.


Same--folks are generally interested and/or amused. It's been ages since I unicycled in public [I'm not great at it], but none of what's been posted here about reactions surprises me.


How odd. I was just thinking of this story the other day. I'd heard it read on NPR maybe 25 years ago, and then just happened to think of it and look it up and read it last week. Now it's on HN. Whenever things like happen I wonder if there was something in the news that subtly reminded many folks of the same thing. I can't remember what brought it up for me, but there must have been something.


I happened across the movie adaptation on Criterion last night and watched it not knowing a thing about it. I was captivated immediately. Afterwards I found the short story. So seems like nothing more than coincidence in this case that you read it last week.

(I was surprised to see the upvotes this morning. I really don't ever have any idea what HN is going to find interesting.)


Bodies vary. Years ago my partner of the time and I did low carb at the same time, eating a lot of the same meals, of course. We both lost weight. We both ran. I felt great and had a lot of energy. They felt miserable for the whole multi-month period.


We were considering a Hyundai Kona after seeing someone online just yank the modem without an issue. The first dealer I worked with said he could have their service department do it, but then couldn't get the model I wanted. The second had the model, but then said even disconnecting the cell modem would void my warranty, so they wouldn't do it without a letter from Hyundai corporate allowing it.

So now I own a brand-new Chevy Bolt. You just yank a single fuse and that takes out OnStar and nothing else.



I've been shopping for a new car recently, and got it down to the Chevy Bolt and the Hyundai Kona [because I want long-range electric and have a narrow garage]. On the Bolt it looks like you can just yank a fuse to kill the cellular radio, and on the Kona, there's a modem you can remove. I've even gotten the dealer to agree to have their shop do the removal, so as not to void any warranty =*).


That's lovely--really elegant lines.

Also, congratulations!
