dunkmaster··on Two potentially life-friendly planets found orbiting a nearby star
If you're locking the area to a fixed area out of the 365 discrete areas, the birthday paradox isn't applicable anymore. Birthday paradox only says something about whether a pair exists among all areas.
dunkmaster··on Two potentially life-friendly planets found orbiting a nearby star
The birthday paradox works because you are looking for a pair that has the same birthday, regardless of what date that birthday is. It doesn't work in the habitable planet sense because you would be essentially locking the birthday to a fixed date.

It can also generate novel chord sequences and compose to those.

dunkmaster··on Show HN: Generating Piano Music with Neural Networks
Thank you sir. I agree that RagtimeBot is the best, and its dataset is indeed simpler in the sense that the rhythms and note structures are very similar among all data points. I.e. The left hand usually plays low bass note on beats 1 and 3, and higher chord on beats 2 and 4. The right hand is usually monophonic, with a syncopated rhythm.

The Beethoven dataset had the largest "note vocabulary" and thus had a harder time generating nice sounding music.
