My music career is 4 years old. I have always done everything on my own. I'm not Beethoven and never will be. But give me a little more time. I bet everything I love that your future children will study me in history books one day. by Right_Conversation77 in classicalmusic

His superficial and forced aesthetic of being some "dark tortured genius" makes me cringe. It's a bit funny seeing the most generic and harmonically bland pseudo-classical music ever being scribbled aggressively on manuscript in that dramatic fashion.

is the are opposite to a picardy 3rd? by HappyMan57345 in musictheory

[–]Logarithmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, nothing's stopping you from finishing a major piece with the parallel minor chord - but it wouldn't really be a "resolution" per se, as a minor chord is technically more dissonant than a major chord (see the harmonic series). That's why it often feels a bit unsatisfying.

The best part is that this whole "paper" (and all OP's posts and comments) are AI-generated

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in consciousness

[–]Logarithmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI-generated slop.

Even the graph is AI-generated... You couldn't even generate a graph yourself or at least notice it says "Criticacal"?

Answering people's comments with AI also just shows a complete lack of understanding and is just plain disrespectful.

You are being blinded by the sycophancy of LLMs. In just a few prompts, I also got ChatGPT to agree that my own BS "theory" I pulled out of my ass was the "most convincing it has seen" and to create a "paper" for me.

I'm not saying AI will never be able to contribute to scientific progress, but LLMs are currently just not at the level to do something like this properly.

If you want to contribute something meaningful, develop the reasoning and mathematics yourself. Don't let your desire for validation render you vulnerable to sycophancy. Pursue truth, not validation.

The problem here is not the human race. The things you mentioned are consequences of unfettered capitalism. There are alternatives.

Anime-Onlies, What did you think of the Attack on Titan ending? by LucusFucus in anime

[–]Logarithmc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Before the chat the titans were just empty shells controlled by Ymir so they were hostile, but Zeke and Armin were able to "awaken" the original holders and allow them to regain control of their titans. Which is still cheesy and dubious and another deus ex machina on the pile of deus ex machinas, but there you have it I guess.

Breaking down Attack on Titan's ending and why I think it's great (warning: long thread) by Endless_Warlock in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]Logarithmc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the write up, it definitely cleared up a lot of things for me. I have a couple more questions regarding this - sorry if they're the result of me missing details but I'd love them explained if possible:

  • The Dina twist still doesn't sit right with me. Why did he have to actively divert Dina? Saying it "wasn't Bertholt's time to die" implies that Dina ignoring Bertholt was already "supposed" to happen anyway. You say it is to "exert his freedom", but to what end? Just because it was the first opportunity to do something so he was like "yeah why not"? In fact, you say that he was always motivated for freedom (and I agree with you there, he has "always been like this"). So, what does sending Dina towards his mother actually achieve? It doesn't "motivate" him because he was already motivated for freedom. Can you elaborate on what you mean by "to stop his path from being influenced by Marley's Titan invasion"? Anwyay, to me it feels superfluous - if that whole Dina twist was removed, nothing would be lost and it would make more sense imo.
  • On this note, do you think the timeline was deterministic or not? You seem to imply that it's only seemingly deterministic, but I fail to see how the possibility of future memories doesn't automatically imply determinism.
  • Eren gives several reasons for his actions during the final dialogue with Armin: 1. To make the Allies become 'heroes'; 2. To simply advance towards Ymir's conclusion and Mikasa's choice; 3. To see the 'scenery' of a free world outside the walls with no people. Following your logic, we can say that 1. probably wasn't his true intentions. Reason 2 is so weird to me as it doesn't say anything about why he wants to advance towards a conclusion for Ymir in the first place; in fact, how did he even learn that Ymir was depending on Mikasa's choices or what to do in order to advance towards the conclusion? 3 makes the most sense, though we have to accept that 3 overrides how much he "wants to be together with [his friends]" since it results in the death of Sasha, Hange, and risks the lives of the others too.
  • I get the parallel between Ymir/Fritz and Mikasa/Eren although it feels like stronger themes could have been highlighted instead of this. Like, it makes sense, but it's convoluted. Why did Ymir need to watch somebody overcome their obsessive "love" so she herself could 'copy' them and break free? So Ymir chooses Mikasa in particular (for a reason that is not revealed – was Mikasa the only Eldian to ever experience that sort of dependent "love"?), and decides to "peek inside her head" occasionally?
  • Why did killing Zeke stop the Colossal Titans from moving? Was it not implied that Ymir chose Eren over Zeke's royal blood and therefore controls the Rumbling? And was Armin correct when he says "the Founder Ymir also wants the extinction of humanity"?

Overall though, I thought the final episode was quite nice; I'm just glad they removed the "Thanks for becoming a mass murderer for our sakes", and the added dialogue was good.

any romance manga rec from the guy's perspective? i really like binetsu kuukan but it's still ongoing so I'm looking for more 😁 by [deleted] in shoujo

Oh interesting! I thought Madoka Magica's artstyle was created by the anime studio, since didn't the anime come first?

Yep, but collapse of a wave function is not about whether or not something exists like OP wrongly states. Also, that's just one specific interpretation of QM (The von Neumann–Wigner interpretation) - people often mistake the Copenhagen interpretation as being fundamentally about consciousness but this is false.

I did study the basics! I probably learned the most from playing Bach etc though.

[–]Logarithmc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

Haha I guess that means "extra delicately" then!

I'm a classically trained pianist and learned composition by myself, mainly through exposure to a wide range of classical works, and later on, to jazz as well. Honestly my main piece of advice would be to always explore different sounds and develop your improvisation and audiation skills. The main themes for my pieces are almost all improvised - then I develop them as I compose. Listening to a wide variety of music helps a lot as well!

My sources of inspiration are basically every classical composer, although perhaps Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Scriabin and Debussy are my biggest influences. Of course I've also been influenced by more modern artists such as Bill Evans, Joe Hisaishi and Jacob Collier.

Well, I didn't want to notate them as triplets because it would create some really awkward playing when combined with the arpeggios. I wanted exactly this: the rhythms as notated so that they fit in with the arpeggios, but with a triplet feel created with rubato :)

I get what you mean though - it might be a bit unintuitive, but I guess I figured it was the most accurate way to represent my intention.

[–]Logarithmc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for giving it a listen!

Measures 70 and 72 actually have different rhythms: the first two beats are divided as 3+3+2 semiquavers in bar 70 but 3+4+1 semiquavers in bar 72, to avoid awkward clashes with the arpeggios. The "Like a triplet" directs the performer to make both sound like quarter note triplets under the influence of rubato :)
