You're talking about figured bass, which is its own type of notation.

"V6" to a jazz player would not indicate first inversion, it would be a major triad (built from the 5th of the tonic scale) with the addition of its own 6th scale degree. "V7" would include the dominant 7th (as opposed to the major 7th), "V13" would have the dominant 7th and also the 6th. Inversions aren't specified, the voicings are left up to the player.

I loved Go when I was in high school. It’s actually not very good if you’ve seen Pulp Fiction. I mean to be fair The Matrix isn’t good either. But hey it was a different time. We were drunk on Limp Bizkit.

i mean, obviously people organize stuff. but my point was about how computer interfaces are digital, and now we have a big industry that propagates digital interfaces, and their type of categorization is seeping into our day-to-day like never before, and i think it affects how people tend to think. and i don't like it.

thank you for mentioning this.

i was a red badge. it was fucking demeaning. i have a lot of stories, but my favorite was when everyone on my floor got an earthquake safety kit except me. literally google didn't care if i lived or died.

the expectation was that if i sucked up enough ("demonstrated my value") they MIGHT make me a real boy, like some bizarre Velveteen Rabbit fetish game.

i loved watching how Google would continuously pat themselves on the back about how good they are to "their employees," and then openly shit on the people who worked full time at the company but technically weren't FTEs.

it's a caste system. a company that behaves this way should be run out of town with extreme prejudice. but instead they somehow took over San Francisco.
