I'm learning the piano. I think the development is aimed at those a little above my skill level, but it's interesting about what it implies about how we learn physical skills.

But expert musicians often experience a "ceiling effect," in which their skill level plateaus after extensive training.

Shoot, I recognize this but can't place it. Is it Bubblegum Crisis? Or Ghost in the Shell? Or... Hm.

Haha, I figured out how to search properly. It is Ghost in the Shell. Production value is way too high for BC anyway.

I am fairly sure it's GitS, but I could be wrong

This will come in handy 🥁

That's how they call it in Europe... A handy!

[–] hakunawazo 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Continental Europe perhaps - but if you ask British people if they could give you a handy thats... thats... not about mobile phones.
🍆👊

While it has the potential to be a great therapy tool, it doesn't seem like something that will have much use beyond that. It is a cool idea though.

OK so I can definitely see why it would seem pointless or really narrow, but I think this would have actually been very helpful for me and people like me. I have dyspraxia, a coordination disability. Mine is specifically graphomotor, meaning the exact types of movements involved in writing. My handwriting was absolutely terrible, causing pain in my hands (I also had incomplete hand dominance, so yay, both hands sucked equally), inability to express in a written form, and difficulty with tasks like painting, drawing, sewing, and cooking. Over the years the most helpful things were gaining strength and switching to printing only, no running writing at all.

If this tool could help with increasing the feedback from my hands to my brain and also push my fingers through the shapes of letters I think I would have had some benefit. I think people who have had a stroke may also potentially benefit, though obviously it would need thorough testing.

Why are you arguing that it would be a good therapy tool with me when I stated that already?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think that you mentioned that the application might be narrow, and they wanted to chime in on how it might personally have helped them. They aren't arguing, just adding.

I think that you mentioned that the application might be narrow, and they wanted to chime in on how it might personally have helped them.

That is how they took it regardless of how explicit I was with my language.

OK so I can definitely see why it would seem pointless or really narrow, but I think this would have actually been very helpful for me and people like me.

They responded to "... it doesn’t seem like something that will have much use...", ignoring the rest of the sentence "While it has the potential to be a great therapy tool, it doesn’t seem like something that will have much use beyond that.", in order to tell me I am wrong about it not having therapeutic uses by using their issues as supporting evidence.

Which is an argument, not an addition. There is also nothing wrong with arguing either, I was simply asking why they posed that argument to me.

Good thing I never asked them eh?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Oh the tables they have turned. The robots are teaching us how to play.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ever since I was a teenager, I dreamed of a device like this that would "teach" you to play guitar.

[–] Entropywins 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Did you ever learn to play an instrument?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Played trumpet in middle school :)

Can it run Crisis?

I could use that to help get past the "ceiling effect" in my own hobbie.....masturbation

Skill level plateau

E! I love watching videos on it. Mark Rober's player piano was pretty cool.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I feel like Schumann might have something to say about this.
