This reminded me of the (in)famous remark of Bernstein before he performed with Glenn Gould the Brahms Piano Concerto (also mentioned in the article): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvWPM783TOE He was so insistent on his o

Apart from the solo you suggested, I always suggest the Drive Home (also with Steven Wilson) solo. Easily one of the best solos I've ever heard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycYewhiaVBk Also +1 Tosin Abasi. The new

Just because it is registered elsewhere doesn't mean it is not a Chinese company. Seriously, how can anyone think this is a valid argument? Do you think DouYin and TikTok originated from different companies?

The Chinese government and the people they control is really putting doublethink to use. Just look at the huge list of websites not accessible in China, and movies, and news, and books...the list goes on. When nations start doing the same t

The pronunciation is very common in Cantonese, Mandarin, and Korean. If the offended person ever visits Asia, he'd find himself punching literally every person. This is extremely arrogant and disrespectful of other cultures. It's

Sounds a bit counter-intuitive to me. I always thought the brains of musicians are much more analytical as playing music requires a lot of understanding and (usually) good memory. Classical and jazz musicians typically remember a lot of mus

To me, Japan is the country with the most creative use of "AI". Maybe there is something to do with their perfectionism. Rather than focusing on only software, they worked on transferring precise designs to hardware. A while ago t

Glad to see I'm not the only one..I wrote a script that records (manually) how much time I am able to focus each day, and it averages around 5 hours. On the days when I have to work overtime, it'd be around 6.5 hours.

I imagine remote work will be much more prevalent post-pandemic. But what would happen to H1B workers?

Almost immediately after getting motivated by the parent comment I see this. Reminds me of the few times I released something to HN and other platforms (using another account) and got frustrated because everyone using the existing products

Thanks for your resource. Never heard of Dan Tepfer or Extempore - such a great way of imagining music! What I was planning was something simpler - much like generating sounds from a written score, but like live classical performances, the

Genius!! From what I can tell it seems to be random keys? Would be nice if a certain progression can be specified, but this is already awesome. Saving this as my new note taking tool.

A piece of music playing software that can react to the lead of an instrument. I'm picturing the software will be able to play a concerto (or simply a duet) with a real instrumentalist and react to dynamic and tempo changes in real tim

Imo, the current leadership, as a whole, has taken a far more aggressive stance against China than any of their predecessors. Not saying the US will free Hong Kong single-handedly, but there's progress. Some senators like Josh Hawley a

Considering the recent crisis that's brewing between the two, it's a rational move for India to not let China get more intelligence data so easily. From a humanitarian point of view, everyone in the world should uninstall these ap

Yes certainly. Even if they are okay with having their personal data collected for various purpose (including helping to train censorship models in China [1]), they are allowing them to manipulate their behavior with TikTok trends - some du

Even after reading through the discussion I don't understand why he was "wrong". He merely made a statement based on his expertise and offered a direction to fix bias in implementing AI systems. I hope we can still follow him

Curios how would they define "hate speech". From the way Facebook works, wouldn't anyone be worried it would be exploited the moment the new policies are out and become a spamming ground?

Zoom, WeChat, Weibo has all been exposed of sending users' data back to Chinese servers. Why would TikTok be different? It's already alarming enough that a Chinese social media app is at the top of the App Store. People need to le

With my experience Microsoft Teams is actually a better choice than Zoom. You don't even need to install the program and it works on the web, unlike the fake "web interface" of Zoom that just loads infinitely and forces you t

I also agree on this. I think in terms of liability humans who one can sue when they make a mistake is more valuable than a machine. That's why in life critical applications companies who are capable of taking the risk are scarce, beca

"AI" is a very vague term. What you described aren't entirely "machine learning", but a combination of existing linguistic techniques and machine (deep) learning. People confuse what AI can do, and what is AI all th

There is really no excuse for "accidentally" routing through Chinese servers for a service. To me the reasons are as shallow as Google's "error in algorithm". Just recently YouTube "accidentally" deleted t

Chinese researchers are in many state of the art projects along with others. Maybe that's why they are often overlooked (or they aren't, because they are doing really well inside/outside China). Even VueJs was created by a Ch
