Translating pitch to a playable guitar tab would even more difficult than the pitch detection. Unlike the piano, the same note can be played in multiple places on the guitar neck. Auto-generating guitar tablature would require not only pitch detection, but some kind of logic that would pick the most appropriate string/fret depending on the surrounding notes/chords.
In the example Django Reinhardt song, there's a bit where he plays the same pitch a few times fretted, then a few times on the neighboring open string.
I can imagine software that would analyze fret noise, vibrato, timbre, hand positions, etc. to get a decent shot at reproducing a performance -- basically, what a real player listens for when transcribing -- but right, this is a really hard problem.
The sense of entitlement in the last few Olympics related posts is really getting obnoxious. Granted the article here makes a good point about it being silly to live tweet an event that is not being broadcast. But, everyone commenting seems to think watching the Olympics for free is a god given right.
I am excited that, unlike the NFL, MLB, and other professional sporting events, the live-streaming capability provided to NBC subscribers is actually quite thorough and high quality.
Looks great! The design and typography are quite nice! I hate to be "that guy," but have you seen pen.io? Your site seems very similar. Also, what is the reasoning behind eventually removing articles. Is there an option to disable this feature?
Hey rob, thanks. Yup I've seen pen.io but it doesn't offer drafting, the writing experience is not that nice and the posts are not optimized for reading nor on pc or mobile devices, and we will also suport markdown syntax for writing.). The removing of article is an idea we have in mind, as we thought unreaden and unshared articles are just dead articles so why not just remove them? But this idea is not implemented atm so articles wont be removed. What you think on this? Would love ot ehar your thoughts on this direction.
Good to know. Thanks for answering my comment! I went ahead and signed up for the beta as you struck my curiosity with the writing environment teaser!
As for my thoughts on removing old content, I get a kick out of going back through the websites I used to frequent and reading things I wrote. The pack-rat in me would prefer to always have access to my past work. But, I do understand the logic in wanting to keep all of the content fresh. Maybe you could remove it but provide an option to have an old piece salvaged for a small fee?
Maybe you could still leave it up to the author? i.e. just list inactive blog entries, for how long they've been inactive, and a quick way to delete some/all of them.
Yup that could be a way to go, although I think that when you leave it so, people will just forget to get back and change such settings hover again. For quick deleting you can already do this right now, straight form the public page of the article if you are logged in(as well as per editing)
Thanks for sharing, I find your writing style very engrossing. As someone who doesn't have much experience in academia, I have a new level of respect for Professors and Ph.D.'s.
I have been trying extremely hard to give Carreon the benefit of the doubt and understand his reasoning. I am beginning to wonder if he perhaps has a touch Asbergers syndrome, or something of the sorts.
In reading his remarks, he is obviously thoughtful, well read, and genuinely believes himself. But, there seems to be a stark contrast between what is going on in his head and the "real" world. Regardless, this is the online equivalent to trashy reality T.V. and I can not seem to tear my attention away.
I've met him on a few occasions. He's smart and generally the IP lawyer I've recommended to friends and associates. Kind of hard to do that now, but there you have it.
