Another GGML model port that I'm pretty excited about is https://github.com/PABannier/bark.cpp . The Bark python model is very compute intensive and require a powerful GPU to get bearable inference speed. I really

The AI community is nowhere close to ditching Python. Most model development and training still use python based toolchains (torch, tf...). The new trends is for popular and useful models to be ported to more efficient stack like C++/G

1 in 5 covid patients reporting long covid symptoms seems really high. I would suspect that it's simply that people that have long covid symptoms are much more likely to bother participating in a covid study than those who got covid an

Unless I actually need one of the services that's not available on a tier 2 provider, I would personally never want to use any of the hyperscaler services if all you need are covered by the services offered by the tier 2 providers. And

But they might be one of the greenest. OVH had to make some trade-off compared to other providers to remain as cheap as they are and while it certainly has an impact on their reliability and security levels, a lot of them are actually posit

They want to raise 3 billions in 3 years to build a Cloud from scratch and with no real USP. What a joke. This guy probably think that you can throw money at a hard problem and it will fix itself by magic. Building the tech that power a clo

So true. Dvorak user for 20+ years but I find QWERTY to be much better for one handed typing on a touch screen. I think it's the design goal of having a high chance of switching keyboard side each stroke that makes it so horrible. Stil

You are on your death bed surrounded by your children. You: Help me take this mask off. Son: But you’ll die. You: Nothing can stop that now. Just for once, let me look on you with my own eyes.

I used to be a heavy user of my Psion Revo back in the 2000s. It had a highly usable full-featured office suite, and I truly used it as a laptop replacement at the time. I was able to touch-type my university course on it, and it could even

Yes, I also agree that the author is wrong to dismiss immediate-mode toolkits. Immediate mode would be my first choice for a DAW application. I even would say it's almost a no-brainer as it makes so many things easier. You would need t

I'm surprised nobody's mentioning Mike Oldfield who was topping the European charts in 1974-1975 with Tubular Bells and Hergest Ridge. Both mostly instrumental album with 20min+ tracks... Totally unimaginable now.

There was no computer involved when publishing at the time. It certainly just took time and money for a professional typesetter to painstakingly set symbol after symbol on his manual typesetting machine.

Sorry for the late reply. The idea was to create a true streaming service in term of UX. All the same features as you are used to, except you start with the empty catalog and you purchase individual albums and you get the streaming service

I mostly agree with you there. If you look at pop music as a whole, it's impossible to attack them directly. But I don't think that the moat could never be broken. You have many people that consume music as background noises. But

What I'm saying: take a classical score as is and input it perfectly as a midi file and you are guaranteed to have a terrible output. Yet on paper, it's perfectly rendered as the composer wrote it. This is why the act of playing m

Mostly because the goal was to offer a premium experience targeted at the classical music enthusiast. UX was close to what you can see with Apple Classical or Idagio. On the business side, the model was really Steam and not any music store,

One of the plan was to offer a bundled experience to the labels: you sell a physical media and the customer gets a code to add the album to their streaming library so they can also consume it digitally. Edit/PS: It really feels strange

I would bet heavily against that any such generated music to become popular (except maybe as bad filler music for video games music etc). The truth is that classical music fan are very very picky about what they like. Computers have been &q

Yes, that's what I wanted to address and in the same way Steam address it with video games. You buy albums but you get the convenience of streaming services with no additional fees forever. Same as with Steam, I expected users to keep
