N5 is the current "flagship" device for the postmarketOS project, which does intend to package Plasma and other stuff as well. Though it doesn't actually support phonecalls or anything like that on the OS just yet...

It doesn't sound passable to me - it sounds boring, it's a hack around a text-parsing architecture ffs, trying to make it understand multi-dimensional and multi-timbral data... There are models that do better, and can "surpri

Yup, this is why I said that the output is somewhat uninteresting musically - there are actually machine-learning music models that do a lot better from that POV, despite being seemingly unambitious in many other ways. (I've mentioned

Not very impressive/interesting, they aren't releasing their code or models, and it seems that they had to use lots of rather obscure hacks to make the whole multi-instrument thing work. (Though I suppose it definitely is impre

So we should focus on "how things sound", to the exclusion of any judgment about the actual facts on the ground? That can't be right. Culture matters, even many left-wingers will agree about this. Muslim cultures, by and la

That article from the Grauniad is saying very little that's directly relevant, except for a claim that Hungarians should not be concerned about people from Muslim cultures immigrating there, and potentially being less-than-loyal to t

Since it looks like so many of the claims about Scruton were simply fabricated, why haven't there been any consequences for Eaton? Heck, why doesn't Scruton sue in UK courts, given that Eaton has clearly admitted that his conduct

The one thing that "standard notation is overwhelmingly better" at is notating music , and making it understandable as such . Some people care about this enough that they'll put in the effort to use standard notation even o

Additive meter is actually a well-known concept even in Western music. It's clearly needed even to make sense of, e.g. "5/4" or "7/4" meter, which yes, are sometimes found in the repertoire - because these

Guitar tablature is not a notation for music though, it's a notation for how-to-play-something-on-the-guitar. And yes, that's a very relevant distinction here - when it comes to music , there's nothing more intuitive than t

Pluggable GC heaps or the like will likely become possible in Rust at some point. We can already see some of the groundwork being provided, e.g. with support for things like custom, user-specified allocators (at a local , not whole-progra
