I know just enough about MIDI and development and music theory to know these things are theoretically possible. To actually build it and be playing on it within 20 minutes is absolutely staggering.

A monitor showing "SV-2 Tuning Tool" on one side and a Claude Code window on the other.
17 minutes later, it had built a web page that detected my piano and sent it a 1/4 comma meantone tuning. AND IT JUST WORKED. On the first try.

I plopped down $20 for Claude Code and installed the Superpowers plugin from my old friend @s.ly.
I fed it the PDF with the MIDI spec and told it what I wanted. Superpowers asked me a few questions about implementation and it wrote a product spec.
A close up of a digital piano. Knobs and buttons.
So I wanted to send alternate tunings to my digital piano. Korg's native app can do it, but you have to plug in every note by hand, including an awful fiddly mouse control. But Korg thankfully did publish the full MIDI spec for the SV-2, so... 🧵

Just a reminder that the Iran War is doing exactly what it was designed to do: provide a distraction from ICE's lawlessness and the Epstein files.

So let me get this straight ...
1. US bombs Iran
2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate
3. Russia gives Iran targeting info
4. Oil price shoots WAY up
5. US unsanctions Russian oil
But at the end of the day, this is a woefully understaffed agency and there is no help on the horizon. There is no indication that Secretary Burgum plans to fully staff our parks ever again. Those cracks are going to begin to show. And that's where having someone who has spent an entire career in the privatization business, that's a huge concern at this moment in time.
Yes, Trump's nominee to run the National Park Service is unqualified and that may be a legal problem down the road.
But it's about more than that. It's about Doug Burgum's privatization agenda on our public lands.

EXCLUSIVE: 'Did People Forget About 9/11?': Doug Burgum Warns Of Wind Energy Security Risks
Ah yes, I remember when *checks notes* wind energy caused 9/11.
Doug Burgum is easily Trump's most embarrassing cabinet secretary and that's impressive considering he was fishing in the shallow end of the talent pool to begin with.
The wording here is an incredible self-pwn by Third Way as it tries to put its fingers on the scale.
One third of the country not only wants to abolish ICE, but also supports ending ALL INTERNAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT, even when presented with a moderate alternative.
This is a radicalized nation.
Yuge, as they say. The seat was very much in play, but Zinke chickening out at this point suggests he knew he was going to lose. It was not a sure D pickup but it just became a whole lot more likely.

Yup. Giving rich people money. If you don't own a thermostat, you don't get the benefit.
"Customers receive a $50 bill credit per eligible smart thermostat enrolled and a $35 bill credit at the end of the first season. Every year after that, they'll receive a $35 participation bill credit."
"Rich people spending money to lower costs for poor people" is the definition of trickle-down economics

Oof. I thought we'd gotten past trickle down economics as a defensible solution.
It's ok to just admit something is bad and needs to change.
All of that is true if you have the financial means to buy an EV, own a home, and can finance rooftop solar.
It absolutely sucks for everyone who does not.
Trump's war on Iran is designed to increase your electric bill.
Exporting American LNG
while blocking new wind + solar
while destroying global LNG =
