How to capture here?

I’m not very good at life and death problems but I just cannot figure out how black here captures. The puzzle says correct but I only see options:
N14 (black), M15
Then a net on L14 but white can play O14 and black cannot save those stones. Without the net black can start a ladder (M14, K15, L15) going to bottom left but since we don’t know what is there that doesn’t sound like a good solution. There must be something I don’t see.

Solved - it is the ladder and assuming empty board.

Interest about other art forms in the AI era

Do you have interest in other art forms than music? I always get excited about basically any art form when going to exhibitions / museums etc. and would just like to try them all! Of course without zero skills (well I guess same goes for music). Then here comes the AI twist, why would you even try to for example drawing, when you can do "what ever you want" with AI? To me art is art and I don't care what others do but I don't mix them. If I want to create something be it a music piece (including lyrics!), short story, drawing etc. I just don't see why would I use AI! It would just take the fun out of it. In the linked video you can see first graphics made for my upcoming vacation album. Just went to a store, bought some pens&paper and started drawing. Highly recommended, so much fun! Will the end result look crappy and lame? Yes most likely but it will then fit the music as well :D

▲ 235 r/synthesizers

We all would like millions of views and stuff but in reality most of us makes tracks for fun and get views ranging anything from 0-1k (if shared at all) and that is fine! Here working on a song with my travel setup in this beautiful setting is the thing I'm getting out of this hobby (apart live jamming and some shows). It is sometimes even more about the process than the actual result.

Sorry for the camera shake. I was shooting this with smart glasses and it seems that I cannot yet hold my head still (even though this is not a headbanger track).

Setup:

Roland 404mk2 for center piece. Everything is recorded and drum sequences created on it.

MicroMonsta2 for all synth sounds (bass + pads + lead)

XSynth here only as MIDI keyboard for MM2

DIY electric ukulele for all the "guitar" tracks. Works surprisingly well and is easy to take with you when travelling.

Keep creating and enjoy the process!
