(2019)"]]></title><description><![CDATA[
<p>The higher the variety of notes (out of the overall 12 sounds in an octave) in the song, the less this becomes possible.<p>If your song is really simple, e.g. only consists of the 3 notes that make up a major triad (root, third, fifth), then this is definitely possible and you can just use natural thirds and natural fifths.<p>But as you start adding more notes, more chords and perhaps change of keys etc, it starts to break down.<p>That's the reason why J. S. Bach wrote The Well-Tempered Clavier.
It's a collection of 24 preludes and fugues, in each possible major and minor key.<p>The basic idea was that if every prelude and fugue sounded good on an instrument (organ, harpsichord etc.), than it meant that the instrument was "well-tempered".<p>Using natural tuning instead of 12-TET would have resulted in some pieces sounding very good and other sounding very bad.</p>

<p>I appreciate your good faith but I tried to copy-paste the first ~7k character of this (not yours!) article in an AI detector (gptzero) and it's "highly confident that this text was AI generated" with a probability of 100%</p>

<p>That makes sense, but I would expect this paradox to vanish (or at least get weaker) as you go higher in the hierarchy of technical positions (i.e. from junior to lead, to senior, to principal etc.). I would expect the workplace to somehow naturally get rid of the incompetent people, so that after a certain point you're only left with [qualified, competent] and [unqualified, competent]</p>

<p>Could you elaborate more on the inverse correlation between degree and skill? Do you mean that usually people who did not go to university actually went straight to work and had the chance to get more skill as opposed to people with a degree that actually started later?</p>

<p>Same here. I had to create a custom uBlock filter for YouTube because it ran out of recommendations and half of the suggested videos in my home page were from my Watch Later playlist.</p>
