Did they change the base model? If not, then the audiocraft_plus, is based on audiocraft, and it creates music of length close to 5 minutes. I don't know if audiocraft_plus incorporates all three modalities of the release, MusicGen, Au

Also the latin alphabet originated from the Euboean alphabet. Euboia is my home, i live here. My guesstimate is that all latin writers, wouldn't like to pay copyright for their use of our Greek letters in their everyday lives.[1] I mea

Audiocraft+, don't forget the plus, on github has a collab notebook based on audiocraft, and a webui to use. It is pretty awesome!

There is a lot of human music for sure, great music from all eras, but just the other day i generated a song which was pure crystal harp. So, how many songs of crystal harp are out there? 1000 all n all? 10.000 maybe? Now i can generate one

If you mean to give a source of melody of 30sec and extend that melody into a full song, yes MusicGen can do that. There are two ways to extend a song based on a melody: 1) give a sample, and continue the song from that sample as close as p

As soon as A.I. is used for serious applications like self driving cars, then data have to be audited by humans. Human judgment is irreplaceable. These machines are statistical algorithms anyway, so even with the best data possible, they wi

Agree with most of your points, but a LargeLM, or a SmallLM for that matter, to construct a simple SQL query and put it in a database, they get it right many times already. GPT gets it right most of the time. Then as a verification step, yo

That happens in general, many people associate music with relevant actions of their life. They listen to songs which are more suitable to driving a car, or lounge beats to read books. One scenario is to record some sounds of the event once,

I am not suggesting that you should do that. As soon as we reach the sweet spot of transaction fees, between a thousandth of a cent, and a millionth of a cent, then every person will have a wallet with one dollar inside it, and send it to a

You are right in most of your points. Today it doesn't exist an API for micro_proof_of_burn. Economic incentives however require a little patience because they need to work their way through the system. 0.0001 BTC is hugely expensive.

As far as i know, btc and ethereum actively fight the ASICs, because they will diminish the profits of amateur miners, and will bring great centralization to the network. Which is true, and it is no problem.

I am talking about Bitcoin BSV. If the purpose of blockchain was solely to provide PoW, then there could exist a lot of blockchains, a thousand maybe. Economic incentives ensure that the most inefficient of blockchains will be put out of t

Requiring every user to compute it's own PoW is a terrible idea. It defeats the whole purpose. One's person expensive computation is another person's almost free computation. I commented in the past about it: "At first g

In my opinion, PoW is the only reliable way, to avoid DDoS attacks. Scraping too much, too quickly is a light form of DDoS, although not intentional. PoW was invented in 2006 exactly for that purpose. The genius of bitcoin (not BTC) is that
