my weird digital piano setup with controlled randomness of note pitches sounds closest to consonance if you play wholetone, but like a mess if you play V7-I. there's probably an interesting mathematical explanation for that I bet

there's a paper on the arxiv [1] that discusses detecting ai-generated research papers through so called “tortured phrases”; that is, phrases which resemble standard field-specific jargon, but seemingly mangled by a thesaurus.

they built a set of these tortured phrases (the table above) and searched the literature. and found. so many examples.

anyway.

Managed to win Final Girl at something like the 4th or 5th attempt! Ginny vs the Intruders at Wingard Cottage. First event gave me the Shotgun which was very lucky. It's a fun board game



Realized that I have got in the habit of using two bits of shorthand in a work context.

"We don't care about that", meaning "the priority of that is currently low enough that we will not take action".

"I don't believe them", meaning "Although I accept that this is their current position, I think there is a reasonable chance that changing circumstances will cause them to wish to alter their position in the short to medium term, and I want to allow for this, therefore I think it is best to act as if the issue is not yet completely decided".

I realized they are not as widely understood as I thought, so I may have to stop using them. And perhaps they're not really even that useful and I just find them fun to say because I can pretend to sound like a hardass.
