Posts: 42 Joined: 2022-06-16	Posted by ohai Hardly in this day and age, surely? We're not exactly in the ages of 640K anymore after all... I would assume costs to scale linearly with the amount of memory cells manufactured. 6e9 / (6*1024^3) is roughly 0.9313. That is, I would assume you can save about 7% manufacturing cost by manufacturing 6 GB rather than 6 GiB, and those Windows users won't be able to tell the difference anyways

Posts: 42 Joined: 2022-06-16	I haven't composed any music and consider it mostly out of my reach, but here's how I think it might work. I'd argue that nowadays it's mostly trial and error. Songs are short and artists don't churn out too many of them. Simply smash a couple notes together on a paper, play it and see how it sounds. Then iterate on that. Getting good at this means (1) developing a feeling for what sounds good (being able to rate a melody) (2) figuring out how to improve a melody/theme and (3) developing good heuristics for all of this. Translating the "melody in your head" into a music sheet is nontrivial but supposedly can be learned.
