Yeah the psycho(logical) part of psychoacoustics is actually more important one wrt to noise annoyance.

Devices with constant hum getting quieter can actually make noise annoyance worse! The brain is good at filtering out constant noises, so they are usually less bothersome. But their sounds can actually help masking out more annoying sounds

We are doing much better in terms of food availability, lower chance of dying early from diseases, one can communicate with people over the entire world, travel easily to all sides of the globe, and many more things. That people find ways t

There are some patterns in natural data, and often also some in modified or fabricated data, that one can check against. None of them are perfect of course, but it can raise suspicion at least.

One aspect that influences is how close to the bleeding edge one needs to be. And how niche the model/application is. ROCm lags by some years. And application/model/framework developers test less on it, which can be problema

To make what I consider a halfway decent song with these current easiest-to-use services (like Suno and Udiio) takes a few hours in my experience. To get there one has to work with the text, the song structure, find a decent style, and then

Very nice! Nice to see demonstrations of reinforcement learning being used to solve non-trivial tasks.

"low quality substitute" and "effortless" are value judgements on your behalf. Many made similar judgements about DAWs and VSTs. And that is your right. But not everyone sees it in the same way - for some generative mode

If you concern is humans being able to have some oversight/insight, then text is useful but in many cases not sufficient. The models are quite hard to understand and chaotic - what is to us trivial or no difference can change outcomes

Sure, with several hundred hours to spare one can make some songs in a DAW. Now one can make something as good/bad in maybe 1/10x the time. Or, given the same time investment, one can possibly make something better!

I agree with your overall description of creation. But I do not agree that generative models are something else entirely. They are tools, and while their affordances do influence what people do with it, in the end the responsibility is on t

by jononor 2y ago
And with more affordable and easier-to-learn tools, the creation of music will be similarly made much more accessible? DAWs and virtual instruments running on regular laptop was one step, generative AI models will be another?

Wow that sounds like a real superpower in that setting. I have met many that have very strong visualization/conceptualization skills in things like 3d, mechanical, color/looks, code and electronics - but for other peoples mental

This is very minor, just a friendly little reminder that cooperation is a two way street. The big ones would be to no longer sell Norwegian oil and gas in USD. Or to move all investments of the Government Pension Fund of Norway out of Ameri

USA could guarantee a deployment to European NATO countries large enough for them to be able to move much of their forced into Ukraine. And just guarantees on being able to buy armament would be useful. If there had been any ounce of polit

Many ways to skin a cat. At least of this size (33k items). And at the size given, string up a database would have no advantages. Which I believe is the main point of the post! If you have a simple problem, use a simple solution. If one had

Re 2. Parquet can easily be used with chunked/partitioned files. Then appending is just adding another file/chunk. The case of 1. really depends on the workload. For embeddings etc selecting column subsets is rare. In order cases,

A (simple) benchmark would be great to figure out where the practical limits of such an approach are. Runtime is expected to grow with O(n*2) which will get painful at some point.

At 33k items in memory is quite fast, 10 ms is very responsive. With 10x/330k items given same hardware the expected time is 1 second. That might be too slow for some applications (but not all). Especially if one just does retrieval of

Facebook in 2025 is not at all the same software as in 2005. Nor FB the business. The market is also forever changed. Not that this detracts from your main point. The tricky part is not the software.

Why do you say that the cost of throwing out American tech giants has gone up by 100-1000x compared to 15 years ago? I mean before everything became cloud/SaaS, American software companies were still essential to most European business

What is your personal productivity metric by which you have more than 10% increase? More money earned, less money spent, fewer working hours for same income, more leisure time? It needs to be something in aggregate to mean something related

This is key. LLMs will cheat and just look up training data whenever it can. Needs to be actively countered if one is to make it "reason".

Your ability to learn and apply such dark magic is the more general skill. If you can wrangle To to, you can wrangle Buildroot. Or Android SDK or whatever else.
