<p>I've been thinking of and briefly working on a similar project.<p>One idea is to analyze timing as well, and "trigger" things after certain sequences (so play 1-3-5 as say eighth notes and then get an in-rhythm arpeggio one octave higher) or detect the beat and play on the upbeat.<p>I haven't done any Rust, but this might give me a good reason to give a try.<p>Have you considered making it a plugin? (makes replay easier in my opinion, but brings other pain like relaunching the DAW between builds...)</p>

<p>I like this fairytale as an analogy for AGI, but this article misses the point.<p>We are the mouse.<p>> I don’t really believe in the threat of AGI
Just like the mouse doesn't believe in the Gruffalo (until it shows up).<p>The mouse goes through the woods scaring the hypothetically-more-dangerous creatures with its stories (us, using our intellect, weapons, destroying habitats) until the real Gruffalo shows up.<p>For a bit, the mouse "uses" the new tool to scare the animals even more (as alluded, human with tool, scarier than without).<p>Eventually the mouse scares the Gruffalo away (analogous to the brief window when we think we have AGI under control).<p>The next (unwritten) chapter probably doesn't look so good for the mouse (when the gruffalo grows to enormous size, eats him and all the other animals in the woods on a sandwich, and sucks up the rest of the resources on the planet.)</p>

<p>As late teenagers a few friends and I dumpster dived a circuit of retail stores and got some good and interesting odds and ends: fishing reels, acrylic displays, partial set of wine glasses, various tools, a small aquarium…<p>I worked in a grocery store so didn’t have the need or gumption to dive for food (I was usually the driver…but all aspects were fun), except for one spot: the town Krispy Kreme. Sneaking around back was so much better than waiting in line, and often there was a fresh looking box nestled on top of pillows of old donuts in garbage bags.<p>Sneaking them into the cheap movie theater was the next challenge.<p>One day, my parents were having a party and we were playing video games in my room. My aunt burst in, indignantly shouting at us for eating out of a dumpster…we laughed and hatched a plan: sneak out my window so they thought we were still playing games, zip to town, grab some donuts and offer them to the party. Except one problem: when we got there the dumpster was bone dry. The cleanest we had ever seen it. Puzzled for a minute I suck it up and went to the drive through to buy a box of donuts at long last. But then I took the sharpie in my glove box and largely scrawled yesterday’s date. We snuck back in the window, popped back into the party, proceeded to display the “expired” box of donuts, and I pulled one and took a big bite. My aunt was exasperated! We passed the box around and it was fun to see which of my parents’ friends were willing to taste the “dumpster donuts”.</p>

<p>In-laws have gone this route. I helped them install dense-pack-cellulose in the walls (like 8" of it or so). They have plenty of windows and tall ceilings. Doesn't feel dark or dank. I'm not sure what they have done in terms of indoor air quality but I'd definitely recommend an ERV.<p>I don't think they've had a mold issue, but it's only been a couple years. (I think with a lot of insulation there won't be condensation on the metal, but suppose bridging could still cause a way around this.)</p>

<p>A corollary that helped me take criticism less personally: a friend once said “I ONLY like negative feedback”.<p>They went on to explain that positive feedback/compliments weren’t helpful to them because they couldn’t grow from it.
