It's possible, I've done it, it just involved a lot more steps. Simpler when I can `fdisk && mkfs && debootstrap` to make a key. Plus then I need to keep two bootable usb keys, I think... it's just... "

Even with it disabled sometimes you're still locked into this UEFI mess that I certainly didn't order. I love my thinkpad p1 g3 more than most laptops but I miss having a simple BIOS. Stupid thing can't boot off normal USB k

No no no, Tuneprint was well before that. By 2004 we were LONG gone. Shazam didn't show up until I think years later. And I might be confusing them with another group but I thought, at the time, they were doing some goofy hash of the

Cough Cough, Geoff Schmidt, Matthew Belmonte, Tuneprint? Edit: tho for sure, the Philips algorithm was better than either of ours.

It was really hard to do the first time. :) I'm honored to have been part of the first team to do any viable acoustic music recognition, in 2001 (much earlier than Shazam, a point of pride of course[0]). You're dead on that it&#x

Yeah, it would work with /dev/dsp, the primary interface for audio IO in Open Sound System (OSS) -- the first media API for n x operating systems. Around the turn of the century it was replaced in the Linux kernel by the Advance

I haven't had problems with dependency hell since the early 2000s. And even then, looking back, I'm entirely sure the problem was not in myself. You're possibly using it wrong.

That word "augmented" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. LLMs don't "augment" data, they generate/hallucinate it. Sometimes they recall it.

Sure, we could. IIRC they were less "broken" with frames (modulo aesthetic taste) but honestly I don't see the problem with the ring "breaking". Browsers have back buttons; brains do tree search. If I'm to be
