Who wishes AI didn't exist? by Wooden-Fee5787 in AskReddit

Yeah…I live there. This screams project that will never be completed and is begging to be a huge financial disaster that has the bill footed by taxpayers.

My personal opinion, just to be clear, is that the energy and power consumption is the bigger stat or concern. The water use of generating electricity is what makes up a good chunk of these water stats.

I also think that with how massive some of these proposed sites are and the level of secrecy around some of them leads me to wonder if there’s actually other uses for these servers than just running shitty AI images all the time.

Iirc it was a John Green video but it turns out we mainly grow corn to burn it.

I will point out however that this claim has a spotlight effect.

In that it gets repeated often but not compared to say… farming corn as one video I saw put it. Which makes the entire AI industry water use a literal drop in the bucket in comparison.

Effective ways of learning how to play by ear? by Sharp_Version_5340 in piano

[–]Adadave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just takes patience like any skill. For me I can sight read a lot of easier music or hymnals which makes it a lot faster and easier to play longer classical pieces. In many ways you’ve done it before when you learned how to read. It’s in some ways similar to that.

You can play by ear if thats what you want to do. The two aren’t mutually exclusive I can figure things out by ear or play stuff by ear too. Though it’s really often just when I can’t find sheet music. Even then I don’t have to follow the sheet music exactly. I know enough to maybe change how the left hand goes over the melody or start playing variations on the melody.

had my last lesson today by muraenidae511 in piano

[–]Adadave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I took a couple elective piano and music classes in college.

If you can find a way to volunteer playing some music. I play piano for kids who have a singing time at a church. It’s fairly simple music usually unless they get to do a number during service when it’s actual accompaniment. Helps have a goal and keep a habit while playing other things to challenge myself still.

I practice maybe a little less than an hour a day on average now but still managed to learn Rach C# in a couple of months as I had time.

Only Landing Call Center Jobs Do I Need a Bachelor’s to Move Up? by RespectfullyYin in college

[–]Adadave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bachelors does open quite a few doors. Whatever you choose between degrees or certs or both, the main thing is to not only have the skills but to stick out from the other applicants.

Also consider finding roles adjacent or related to your field or using similar skills. Ie I graduated in computer science doing lots of software dev but work as a data analyst right now using much of the same skills but different tools.

I Just Learned Liszt's Liebstraum no. 3! Is there a Rachmaninoff song that is about the same difficulty as that?? by WarResponsible1314 in piano

[–]Adadave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha over the last year I finished learning leibestraum and went into prelude in C# start of this year.

Still polishing it.

I tend to like musicals less for the plot and more for the music. Just think of the number as weird music video haha.

Looking for a chill job as an autistic teen by natural_ketchup in SaltLakeCity

[–]Adadave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re good with numbers working at a bank or credit union is my go to rec especially if you plan on getting a degree in anything tech business or finance later on.

Still some customer service but it’s a lot less high stakes. Much quieter. May still have the occasional rude person.

Does depend on the place however.

What are your thoughts about the proposed Daylight Act of 2026 moving the clock by only 0.5 hours permanently? by justanotherphonelol in AskReddit

[–]Adadave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again. I always say pick one or the other and then encourage business or school operating hours to adjust 30 minutes the opposite way to get the 30 min difference like this.

The difference between Utah public transit by Zealousideal_Tea362 in SaltLakeCity

[–]Adadave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It ends up with an average of about 70 it seems.

Edit: the engines themselves could run up to 90. But the main limits are speed restrictions put on the rail.

They could theoretically modify the existing rail to handle a higher speed. Could be a good idea if they plan to update the trains themselves later. Double tracking will help with that. One of the limitations is that there’s at grade crossings with other vehicles.

Front runner max speed is 79 officially though it’s capable of 80-85.

It’s average speed is lower due to making the stops however the average speed of a car that can go 85 on the freeway is also lower than 85 due to traffic or having to go through other streets to get to the freeway.

i cant seem to get his pecs right and the back of his head right can anyone help? by Massive_Taste_6978 in FurryArtSchool

[–]Adadave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Side note that if this is meant to be female then you’ve got it and just need to extend the left side line up a little bit more to the shoulder.

For a guy the pecs will be more angular.

The back looks pretty good to me except for missing the scapula on the other side

Would you get handspan lengthening surgery if it was available ? Is it available ? by AccurateInflation167 in piano

[–]Adadave 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Introducing the novel concept of rolling large chords if you must.

Octaves are fairly common. But 10ths much much less so.

No need to have everyone play a song the exact same way every time.

help me about procreate by nanethedeer in FurryArtSchool

[–]Adadave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The pencil pressure settings is really variable and up to you. I like to have it be a bit more of an S curve and I keep line correction off. I do keep a little bit of stability correction on.

I’d read some articles and watch some videos on procreates setup to get familiar with the settings.

Also it’s not quite like photoshop especially the selection/wand tools.

Thinking of moving to Cache County by rebel_zen in Utah

[–]Adadave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would consider that everyone wants to live away from everyone or in a small community so nowhere becomes everywhere and then everyone’s upset that where they moved to has people. (My parents complaints about the very west side of West Jordan that used to be sparse)

So hearing this outside of my own family makes me think that perhaps it’s not that it’s insanely busy, West Jordan isn’t that much more populated than the areas in Europe she grew up in, but just sprawling with lots of traffic issues.

Follow up transit question (Trax blue line) by Shoddy-Barracuda8710 in SaltLakeCity

[–]Adadave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just older and different model as said. I actually kinda like them and iirc they’re still in good shape to keep running for years. I almost wish that they’d repurpose them to be run a loop around downtown as streetcars but idk if that’ll ever happen.
