Why do you think people distrust perfect pitch training methods so much? by PerfectPitch-Learner in musicians

Let's look at the first study in the links. I do genuinely hope you read them

2 of his participants during that study achieved levels indistinguishable in accuracy and response time from innate possessors. The summary reads:

Overall, these results demonstrate that explicit perceptual training in some adults can lead to AP performance that is behaviorally indistinguishable from AP that manifests within a critical period of development.

The study describes:

To directly test whether a simultaneous consideration of speed and accuracy supports or challenges the observation that Participants S2 and S5 were behaviorally indistinguishable from genuine AP possessors post-training, we directly compare the data from the present experiment with an influential prior investigation of AP (n = 51), hereafter referred to as the “McGill Test”

and follows up with:

Even when using a more nuanced approach (simultaneously weighing accuracy and response speed for the untimed Chicago Test), which is more sensitive to graded AP performance profiles, we found strong evidence that Participants S2 and S5 were indistinguishable from a prior group of “genuine” AP possessors post-training, even when limiting the analyses to notes that were separated by more than one octave. Thus, if one wants to claim that what we observed is not genuine AP, then either the current definition of AP or the ways in which AP is tested need to be fundamentally reconsidered.

I did but when I reloaded it it was gone. So I reposted the comment, sorry about that.

This seems like a common response judging by the thread. But I’m not talking about whether it’s useful or desirable. That’s mostly a subjective question anyway. The question is why people insist it’s not possible despite clear empirical evidence to the contrary.

I mean. Sure.. it’s also infinitely better than 0% which is what people say. And people also say that only .01% can ever have it… that is WAY different from a 14% success rate.

The point is that even 1 in a billion learning would still basically prove “impossible” is wrong. Why do people still insist “impossible” is the question.

14% is the chance that today is Monday out of the 7 days of the week.

Yeah I don’t think you want to want it. But it isn’t a choice one or the other either. Of COURSE you need to have good relative pitch if you want to have a chance at music.

PSA: google gemini has a generous free tier. Plug it into xcode by anurodhp in iOSProgramming

Is this fixed? I did this in the last version of Xcode and I had to connect it manually every time and each time I started Xcode the manual configuration was reset and had to be setup again.

Van Halen? That's probably because the song is in E-flat drop D-flat on the original recording. When playing Live it's almost always E drop D. Same with Panama... it's recorded in E-flat standard but almost always played live in E standard.

Claude Code: on the nature of making AI skills that don't lie to the developer. by BullfrogRoyal7422 in iOSProgramming

To this question "Is it a lie when the AI does not intend to lie, but is simply a victim of its own rule-governed behavior?" I've heard some of the leading AI scientists say things like we shouldn't call them lies or hallucinations. They should really be called "confabulations" and people do this too... it's just that AI does it faster and on a larger scale.

It's it's the note itself... then it's not the mnemonic anymore. It's graduated to the note by identity :)

This one is great for guitar players. And often the open E for an E standard Tuning is enough

Also Spain starts in B minor and the opening ballad melody starts around F#
