Lol, my production with nom de nom came in last place against this one... At one point while coding our music player, I wondered if something simpler and more algorithmic might be more effective :) So yeah I was both spanked and I learned a

I can save people a lot of time: It's not about the information on the medium, the .wav file the algorithm produces. It's about the context in which the information is presented. AI-generated music will go along with generic food

You are wise. This is how I develop, too. The strategy is essentially to develop the algorithm/software outside the embedded platform, then port it to the embedded platform. I, too, record input data streams and process them via deskt

yes. I can tell you a little more about that, too, since I used to research this stuff and think about it a lot still. One of my models of music is an external model of a regulated system that parallels and trains our own habits and respon

Auto-synthesis of music has been a topic of academic interest since the 1950s, when the first mainframe scribbled out code on paper tape to be translated into sheet music and performed. UToronto's work here is the latest expression of

Well I found this at wikipedia: Newspeak is the fictional language in the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, written by George Orwell. It is a controlled language created by the totalitarian state Oceania as a tool to limit freedom of thought, and

The fine should be compared to the damages experienced by the victims. The comparison to fundamentals is really a red herring. PP probably only brought it up in response to the poster before them. It may not be easy to compute the damages,

The amazing thing about this is that you can't critique. I mean, you can say anything you want, but you can't stop it or change this guy's mind. :) It's pretty neat seeing him change the clock speed: https:/&#
