Of course it will be good at some point. If AI can match the range of vocals, emotions, pronunciations, why not? Whatever intent behind the art can be attached to generated music after the fact. What boggles me is that some people find the

Right now all AI songs I've heard have this dead emotion to it that makes me cringe a lot. This crispness of the vocals also don't match the song at all, I'm surprised the author didn't mention this.

How do you think it works currently when artists who make highly edited music perform live? And I guess if Gorillaz and Hatsune Miku can do concerts, this isn't really a problem.

I've been using HA with a Pi, an SD card and a second hand zigbee dongle for the past 3 years. As long as you are able to read instructions to flash the SD card, you can use HA.

I use HA and all my IKEA lamps are zigbee. Raspberry pi obviously doesn't have native zigbee radio support, so I have a USB zigbee antenna. Now this means if I buy any more IKEA lamps, I would need a second antenna, and the new lamps w

Right now we are using renewables essentially at capacity, always. Any extra electricity use therefore needs fossil fuels to power it. It's as simple as that. The AI computation explosion is completely irresponsible and any claims that

Species are rarely capable of adapting this fast to environment changes, and the point is we are bringing this fast change upon us ourselves.

Of course the climate is ok for the planet. The planet is a huge rock. What on Earth is your point?

Gabapentin is an anticonvulsants. Ibuprofen and paracetamol are anti-inflammatory. While they are effective at reducing pain, they are technically not "pain killers". The title is therefore correct.

Water is recycled in the cooling system, but part is lost through evaporation. But that's an excellent question, to which I have a hard time finding concrete numbers that answer it.

Tangential: 2 Youtuber linguists have created a Dragon Language [0] and a Gorilla language [1], which incorporate breathing fire and beating your chest respectively. Basically my point is that life is pretty resourceful when it comes to com

It depends what you mean by language. I think you're using a very narrow definition in your comment. We already have evidence that some whales use sounds to identify other whales, i.e. "names". We also have building evidence

While Perplexity is able to show sources for the information it shows, the language part, and the body of text upon which it was trained, is a black box, and sources are not given, nor typically desirable as a user.

This, wobbly windows and rain effects. I wouldn't use any of that today, but it captivated me, at a time when customizing windows was becoming more cumbersome with each release.

They keep doing that to try to paint this as a loss for users. Users have much to win with this, as it will give some real competition to the Apple ecosystem, and potentially saving users money. So it's only natural Apple will pull all

And Germany has taken its stance on Gaza to extreme levels, where publicly defending Palestine's right to exist can cause you to lose your visa. So yeah, things could be better in the free speech area.

Please hire an accountant asap if you ever start a business. Things don't mean what you think they mean in accounting. You are wrong and insist you are right despite multiple people pointing it out to you.

How is Lisbon underrated? It's completely, chocked full of tourists and wealthy expats, and practically devoid of permanent residents because no one else can afford to live there any more.

Sometimes I wonder if HN folks are purposefully obtuse or so deep in their bubble that they don't understand how 99% of people think and operate. The average user will always favour convenience over some invisible concept like privacy.

It's not just about absolute numbers but about the diversity of users.

Yes but it was pretty diverse in that sense that most people were somewhat represented. That representation is rather skewed right nowadays
