Suno extracts stems but I would love it if they have an ancillary app that would do the scoresheet and give me the notes…
While AI music is fine by me(it’s here to stay), I would like to tweak some of the chord progression of the orchestration .. would certainly like to see how it would play out live.
I am loving it. I am not a musician and I am learning from this.. by doing and music theory one song at a time.. It is making music learning fun for me.
It’s not a cultural thing. It happens here too. Someone created something like this to track strawberry pickers and their ‘productivity’.
Remember they are not even paid minimum wage by the hour. They are paid by how many punnets they pick. And this founder thought it was a great idea.
American Ag is more exploitative than any third world/developing country because the really desperate work here. It is sorely in need of automation.
Nobody wants to actually invest in Ag automation..not really…there is a lot of BS floating but everything grown locally and on our shelves relies on low paid manual labour.
I wish.. so very much..that Americans see how their food is grown.
I grew up in Santa Cruz county. I went to school with field workers' kids. I don't know about the ones that were migrants as we didn't keep in touch, but the ones I went to school with year after year almost all went military then college. None went on to be field workers. American ag might suck, but like you said it at least comes with something more, some future hope, if only for your kids.
These are the farm animal characters that I have been writing for kids about my farm except kids don’t want to read anymore. I think I can make this work.
What's the point of a genetics test for a coat pattern? Can't you just look at the cat?
(Same question about covid/flu tests - a lot of people act like taking a test is part of a treatment regimen, but it kinda isn't. But those are still useful since you might be an asymptomatic spreader.)

When you're trying to understand a complex system, it's best to start with things you can actually see directly. Doubly so, if you're going to try and change something.
Coding analogy: there's a reason "Hello World" is about printing stuff to console, and the very first thing you do when writing to a new target, or reconfiguring some application, or testing unfamiliar commands, etc. is something where observable output directly reflects the changes to inputs you make. Otherwise, you don't know whether you're doing things right, or doing anything in the first place.
WRT. COVID/flu tests. You or your kid come to the doctor with a running nose and some cough. The test is useful to tell you whether you're dealing with one of the "heavy hitters" like the flu or COVID or RSV, or just a bog standard ${random kindergarten viral infection} that's treated by nose cleaning + anti-cough medicine + pretending you're not sick anymore, or whether this stuff is bacterial and maybe you need another swab to pick the right antibiotics.
The point is trying to understand how genetics works. Traits we can easily check for are easier to test against than say personality traits which are more subjective.
Sometimes in animals the same color can be result of several different genes working in different paths to achieve a similar result. This info is relevant for breeding purposes. Chicken color genetics is evil, for example but understanding it allowed to have self-sexing chicken. This saves millions of dollars to the farms.
Some color patterns in cats carry healthy problems. Breeding for white cats with blue eyes for example is discouraged, because they born deaf.
One of the most visible features of a cat: its hair. Imagine a startup for cloning your cat, except you can change some features. It can start with hair color. After some rounds it might add size, eye color, hair or no hair, chubbiness. You name it.
It may start in any BRICS country, and then expand! Tourist trips to cat cloning resorts. Check our CATLOG!
(Cheshires are a thing in that book, bio-engineered cats that can change fur colour like a chameleon/octopus/squid to exactly match their surroundings. They breed and devastate the world's population of small animals such that there's a bounty for every one killed. I'm trying to remember where I read a great critique of the book, especially the cheshires, but I'm not finding it)
I am converting all the short farm stories I wrote into little audio stories using AI voiceovers. It’s not perfect and has kinks.. but I am enjoying it.. 5 done, 15 more to go!
My next project is one about lunar habitat and food production systems but as a podcast ..entirely with AI voices. Because I can’t find anyone from NASA or SpaceX to speak with me..hah!
Because ground meat texture and taste is nothing great. It’s collagen and fat marbling .. and the refined cooking techniques that make meat eating pleasurable.
Plant based meat texture can be easily replicated with.. plant based dishes!
