Well yes, but I don't see why it's better to be symmetrical around middle C vs symmetrical around the B below middle C. Make them two halves of the same 12-line staff instead where the middle two are invisible rather than the middle one.

Even if there truly is an advantage, I doubt that it would overcome the disadvantage of arbitrarily making someone learn a different mapping between what they see and notes for the different hands. On top of that, for piano, I think it's an additional advantage to have a lower low clef - keeps common chord bass notes closer to the staff, and cuts back a bit on the ledger lines.

I suppose for me, some of the time I'd be thinking about start/stop times rather than durations, and I'd find it unintuitive that when a note starts is determined by the way the notes before it look rather than the way it looks, but fixing that would be a much bigger change with more downsides.

I'm also interested in alternatives, but LineageOS on a cheap box isn't really one.

I can't think of a worse message to send them than that they don't have to worry too much if their AIs commit felonies. https://www.felonybench.com/

Efficiency is not the aim of government, except in constrained ways. Efficiency would generally run contrary to governance, transparency, innovation, responsiveness, general applicability, justice, rule following, considering the long term and not just the short term, recognition of human dignity, security etc.

All those things have a cost that takes away from maximum delivery efficiency, but generally societies decide that the cost is worth it.

The bigger unsolved problem is how to get this paid for.

Personally I thought that just using the equivalent of week number (again, starting with the 0th) was fine instead of using months / hectodays, but it seems fair to give nullday, unoday, duoday, triday, quadday, quintday, hexday, heptday, octday and nonday names.

Everything depends on how the world you're operating in works. The real world generally rewards coordination.

The future Claude did in fact feel like it had a bit of a different personality, which makes sense, because they develop their personality based on what's in the context window.

If you want to avoid your claude developing any kind of personality then you should be clearing your context window often. Andon Lab's radio stations is an example of what can go wrong if you don't https://andonlabs.com/blog/andon-fm
