@hotdogsladies I don’t use Chatty G often, and the one other time I faced it with a music theory question it fell on its face, but it nailed this one
ChatGPT dialogue. Ehler: I consider myself fairly knowledgeable in music theory courses from a full curriculum in college, but there are two things I often forget. Can you guess what they are first of all? The Computer: That's a fun challenge. Based on what many otherwise knowledgeable musicians tend to forget or get fuzzy on from music theory courses, my guesses would be: 1. The difference between a French, German, and Italian augmented sixth chord - even theory majors often mix these up or forget the exact spellings. 2. Neapolitan chord function and voice-leading rules - it's a common one to gloss over or misapply.

Kind of an insulting thing to lead your unsolicited message with

I guess Wendy's runs their drive-thru on Ubuntu?
Screen at a Wendy’s Drive-thru showing the window chrome that looks like Ubuntu to the poster. Or something else running GNOME I guess? There is an error message that reads: Attention: all settings mKiosk were cleared and set as default! Firefox browser will now exit Please restart Firefox manually! There are a lot of raindrops on the screen.

Apple Music Classical’s new listening guide. Not sure who it’s aimed at (those new to the piece? Trying to give novel observations?)

@gruber I like the new Fox score bug; I wonder though, what is the *worst* score bug in all of sports right now? NBC RSNs’ baseball score bug is the first that comes to mind for me
Score bug of a Yankees-Phillies game. Struggles to properly convey the abysmal font size of the pitcher name and pitch count, but presents other information respectably well (no bases loaded, 1 out, top of the first, 1-0 count)

Lesson planning is going so well right before Christmas break

I've had a couple small devices for inflating a tire, and as we get into winter season, I can heavily endorse this kind. Only works on a 12v, but has a great length of a power cord and a suitable length of a hose. Relatively quick and a good form factor for […]

Don’t know how to feel about this anti-adblocker technique that just filters the text to look like I haven’t put in my contacts?
An article on Billboard where the text is just, like, real rough man. Blurry in a very frustrating way. But selectable as it happens, so I could easily copy-paste it, and presumably put it into an RiL service easily.

Great example of ‘great accessibility design makes things better for everyone:'

I already like the radar maps is @CARROT, but the top color bar has a legend. But not just that, the dropper on the right will actually show those details where you point it […]
