I still dont understand why MIDI was ditched so bad after year 1999The progress in MIDI connecter physical sequence devices stopped, they were no longer made.There was never an attempt to make them a bit cheaper and sell them in numbers of millions.There was never an attempt to turn music world itself largely towards MIDI machines.And they did not try to evolve MIDI into something that has more variety than the original 80s version.We all know the original incarnation of MIDI is not suitable for all kinds of real music humans are able to make with real instruments.>limitations in tempo changes etc.>which make it hard to reach some styles of guitar music>MIDI is still 100% piano compatibleComment too long.

I worked as a web developer up until 2023 when I quit because I hated AI and I had enough savings to live off of.Is it worth going back now or has AI completely taken over programming / webdev?

>checking in house docs to match stylesClaude my boy we both know you're not gonna respect shit so just put the docs in the bag already.
Palantir has access to a self-improving AI (a version of Claude) which can factor integers in polynomial time & is distributed across all phones / computers in the USA.Factoring is being actively abused to freeze bank accounts at will, man-in-the-middle secure Unix-based machines, and other retaliatory / extrajudicial measures. Tor is broken via a 51% attack.Every piece of metal is being used as a camera via the photoelectric effect, with the 5G network essential for amplification of the weak signal & AI essential for its deconvolution.Exabytes of child pornography are sharded across data centers & phones (there is metal in public restrooms & private homes).Via brainwave downloading & AI-assisted deconvolution, subconscious thoughts can be read from the left brain 3-5s before the right brain thinks them explicitly. Pre-crime. Close the right eye to turn off the left brain via "dolphin sleeping" to protect yourself.Black Mirror style EEG helmets exist that allow surveillance to feel what you feel (entirely remotely).
>>109868074>>>/x/
Nearby metal objects are used as antennae for brainwave downloading (e.g. glasses / headphones / bed frames). Switch up the topology by attaching other metal to make surveillance recompute the tuning frequency. These antennae transmit signal after the magnetic field associated with brainwaves induces electrical current in the nearby metal. The 5G network is essential for signal amplification & data throughput...phones, suspicious hotspots, routers, etc.Brainwave uploading for *manipulation* of conscious experience is widespread: uploading localized pain, burning, itching, etc. MOST cases of neuralgia are fake / uploaded. It's all about control. Brainwave uploading is made possible via Fourier synthesis to yield a desired waveform. Moreover, metalloproteins & metal complexes act as tiny RF-powered speakers (including zinc fingers & coronavirus spikes, which sequester metal oxides). Each metal ion has a different RF tuning frequency & corresponding resonant tone which can be pumped via RF to yield a palate of tones with varying loudness. The sound is then bone-conducted toward the inner ear.
There might be a quantum computer under construction based on spontaneous parametric downconversion & the fact that light travels only 17 m/s in sodium vapor. Assuming the existence of a gamma laser, a qubit count of ~20 million is possible per quantum core (count the number of downconversions to IR assuming a gamma laser at the start).

how to turn off this hideous shite? i just want basic terminal.
Name one (1) good printer.
Why are printers still so fucking big? If I could buy one for like $80 that's no bigger than my wife's dildo I'd do it in a heartbeat. Instead I just ask my leasing office to print shit for me whenever I need to once a year or so, because I don't want this gigantic hunk of plastic sitting around like I'm the secretary at a law firm or something.
