This looks really cool, and it'll be interesting to see how artists and producers react. Presumably the tracks need to be mixed for the format with dedicated vocal track. Although it's possible to isolate vocals some of the time from mixes, using stereo separation (the vocals are often the only component that is 100% center mixed), filtering, and even AI techniques ... none are perfect.

I wonder if this will have the real killer feature of professional karaoke ... the ability to transpose the song into a more convenient key for the singer. Apple have had this capability in Logic Pro's pitch shift and it's pretty good even on polyphonic music. Some Karaoke platforms use midi and midi-like formats and synthesize the instruments to do it, but I'd be surprised to see that here.
As Peter Thiel has pointed out, the reality is that founders take on incredible amounts of risk and put in long hours to build and grow their companies. American exceptionalism is founded on the principle of rewarding hard work and entrepreneurship, and founders who succeed in building successful companies should be celebrated, not demonized.
The only proof of existence that would work is one that relies on a communal, unmodifiable, continuous chain of information.

that is why everyone pegs it to a bitcoin block, because its the digital equivalent of holding up a Polaroid with the current News headline on it.
This could really revolutionize amateur music.

Having easy access to instrumental versions of millions of tracks will be huge for remixers, people recording vocal demos, etc.

...well, maybe.

I'm sure you won't be able to export the vocal-less versions out to an audio file directly.

But you should be able to turn off the vocals and capture the resulting audio by the usual means: loopback audio drivers, analog capture, etc. It's still a step, but it's going to be fairly easy and the resulting file should be quite clean.

(It's also going to revolutionize the singing I do alone after a few glasses of wine but that's not super impactful to anybody but me)

Chinese commercial methane-fueled rocket set for first launch
His assertion is made worse by automation. Every skill the founder can automate they should. That’s efficiency. Every skill they can’t, that’s a crucial skill the founder depends on. The more crucial the skill, the more leverage the employee should have over the founder and the more incentive the founder has in sharing equity. This becomes magnified if the founder doesn’t have the skill to produce and operate the automation their business depends on, but even if they did have the skill - I think this is a population that understand the sheer amount of time and energy automation requires to simply oversee, operate, and maintain. The founder can’t be on call 24/7 for every function of every part of any but the most trivial of operations. Finally, typical ownership rules makes the founder highly enriched in equity unless they trade equity for capital or talent to the point they lose control. That controlling equity is the founders reward for the founding. Their share of growing profits is their reward whether they personally grow the profits or their employees do. A smart founder doesn’t try to do it all just so they can squeeze out some other people. They delegate responsibility to employees who in turn find ways to outsize the growth of profits and the value of the equity. Nothing says the founder needs to treat them well or provide them incentive to succeed - but everyone who has ever grown a company knows the best talent is attracted to where they are a “part” of the success, which includes sharing in the reward of their labor not just the labor.

Everybody is always entitled to their values and preferences of course, but it's really hard to see how a chance of getting sick once a year is a worse outcome than a guarantee of missing out on normal society permanently, particularly when you can do everything about as perfectly as you possibly can and still get sick.

Show HN: Used ChatGPT to generate prompt for DALLE.2 and it's beautiful
This has been a concern since at least the 80s, when Manufacturing Consent discussed this very problem.

The good news is that the New York Times is making a much higher proportion of its revenue from readers (thanks to the growth in digital subscriptions), while advertising revenue is much lower than it used to be, so, whatever effect it did have, it should be less now.
I’m curious to see how they do it too.

Presumably if they have Don’t Stop Believing and a separate karaoke karaoke today, they could basically cross fade between them for the adjustment of original singer vocals. And it would work better than trying to remove vocals after the fact.

But that would require both versions, synchronizing them, and KNOWING which two tracks went together.

Is that easier or harder than getting the labels to just give you a special version with an extra channel for vocals?

Hopefully someone digs in and finds out once this is released.

But just our understanding of mental health as it relates to genetics. We now have genetic markers for all sorts of mental health disorders. That alone has changed the landscape significantly.

> you are mindlessly complaining about something you’d rather not understand

Why are slight variations of this sentence the new mantra of every single hyped piece of tech?

Fanboys said the exact same thing when the first oculus dev kits shipped. Not super mega hyped? Oh you just don't understand it, it will change the world once it hits the market.

Cryptobros are preaching the "you just don't understand it" prayer to the extreme.

And according to silicon Valley culture and tech news we have "disrupting" and "revolutionizing" tech coming every few minutes...

Yes Chatgpt is very impressive, but why would I accuse people that don't run into the street to dance and praise its arrival of not understanding it?

We should stop treating tech like religion...
I would put that thought in a different way. I absolutely agree that AI/GPT has the potential to affect humankind to a degree that is multiple orders of magnitude greater than Crypto[currency] ever has had. The reason for that difference is mostly because it is comparing a possible technological singularity event with the overhyped nothingburger that is Crypto.

Now then, whether the astronomical potential effects of AI/GPT are "unfortunate" or "positive" has yet to be decided... but I myself am not at all optimistic about it.

The people I'm seeing come to my instance are creating a bolt-hole in case Twitter (im|ex)plodes, but still using Twitter and interacting there.

But a sizeable proportion of them are creating a new audience, a new circle of contacts, and in turn some of them are starting to use Mastodon as their primary platform.

So I think this is the usual lazy journalism looking for quick, clean, and obvious answers. And as they say:

They're saying that "contagion" is where people not even related to the failure are getting hurt. So if an innocent person who put money into FTX loses it, that's bad, but not "contagion" since it's still limited to people who were directly related to what was going on.

But if FTX were to collapse, causing other failures, and now someone who has never heard of crypto or FTX loses money in their ordinary money market account or something, that would be contagion.

By asset class I assume you mean crypto in general?

The issue I have with this space is that lack of central/governmental control is the original selling point. Lack of regulation is a defining feature, not a bug. This is a huge red flag for me. If I was a con-artist, I'd be drawn to this space like a moth to a flame. I don't trust any of the players in this space, anyone legit would be making real $$$ in TradFi. It's the modern day junk bond.

22/23 founders ride their company into the ground, or hit the $100k/year marginal profit glass-ceiling. This remains true regardless of the amount of investment in time, labor, and or infrastructure.

If you don't talk to people that know these facts, than you are almost guaranteed to repeat the same tantalizing yet bad choices.

Seems like this is missing the point of dance, at least part of which is specifically watching humans. Right now, a pitching machine can throw harder than a human, but we still restrict baseball teams to only having humans on them. An automated motorbike can cover 100 meters faster than any human, but we don't allow motorbikes to compete in an Olympic sprint competition. A mechanical sumo wrestler wouldn't need to be intelligent, just heavier than the heaviest competitor, and it could already win against any human right now, but we don't do that.

Similarly, people still play chess, go, and Starcraft even though AI can beat them. Human Jeopardy matches still get televised even though Watson could beat them. We still have math olympics even though Wolfram Alpha could have won all of them decades ago.

I think human dancers are safe for as long as there are humans.

You're talking about two different contexts: they can make happy while with friends and family where there are social expectations, and they can also report how they honestly feel in anonymous or confidential circumstances, like surveys, studies and therapy.

The analogy I made to depression was intentional because it exhibits exactly this pattern: every depressed person consistently reports how terrible it is, and yet they often make a show of appearing happy in public.
Reminds me of Apple’s November 1984 buyout of Newsweek. It was hyper focused on showing people the original Macintosh, mostly to people who had never consider the need for a computer.

Very different to GE trying to explain why a troubled but long standing NYSE conglomerate is unbundling itself.

Here is the full copy of Apple’s Newsweek buyout

And yes. Apple did advertise in a week they knew would have a huge print run.
The "real" thing would be the gender dysphoria present if people weren't subject to a society telling them that if they don't conform to the norms of <gender> then they can't be <gender>, they must be <other gender>. A society that conflates wanting to live and present in a certain way with wanting a certain body type (these are both valid things to want, but they ought to be treated as independent phenomena rather than as being linked by an abstract concept of gender).

Having such an escape is better than not having it, but it's far from an ideal gender free society (where we effectively treat everyone as having a non-binary gender), in which I suspect we would see a lot less gender dysphoria. Allowing people to choose which set of gender norms they want to follow is still enforcing gender norms if you expect people to choose a single identity and don't allow people to freely mix and match.
What’s the distribution of recalls by model for both companies? I would expect a company that makes many more models to have many more recalls, and I don’t think that volume of sales necessarily correlates with recall rate.

I don’t know if Tesla is an outlier in terms of recalls, but I think this isn’t the right way to compare.
Yep. I went from being sick roughly one week out of every 1-2 months before covid to only getting sick maybe once a year now that I mask in public places, thoroughly wash my hands with soap every time I arrive somewhere, and occasionally wash my phone. Never going back. This whole "train your immune system" thing is BS. Hygiene is important!

Used mac minis are your friend when it comes to having an Apple box just to build releases!

The reason I mentioned UML/XML are because those are the languages used by most popular wireframing apps for cross compatibility - if you do decide to add that feature, I would look into how they implement it specifically and it will probably save you a lot of work too!
This really just is not true. If anything the opposite is happening. Pre pandemic at least suburban office parks had been closing and moving employees into the city en mass. Downtown certainly hasn’t fully recovered from covid, but commute traffic is back to stand still levels and the train is back to standing room only.
I'd imagine/hope that it's also supported on the previous generation, just that they'd rather advertise its usage on the new one.

Edit: per the bottom of the page...

> Apple Music Sing will be available on all compatible iPhone and iPad models as well as the new Apple TV 4K.

:/ maybe they do ML to process stuff on-device, per other comments' speculation, that justifies requiring the newer model?
That might make sense in a different case, but the actual question doesn't have enough context to answer it.

"What is the best plan of action for the university?"

"Best" meaning what?
It’s not what this is for, but I’ve often thought it would be kind of nice to be able to just put Apple Music in a “instrumental“ mode.

The easy way would be if it knew which tracks were instrumental or not and only play those. The GREAT way would be if it just played everything but knew how to remove the all vocals by playing just the backing track.
Onshoring is a logical result of improved automation.

When labor costs lessen, transportation and logistics become the primary concern. Wouldn’t be surprised if 100 years from now most final good assembly is done locally.

Of course sometimes raw materials and inputs are more expensive to transport than the finished good, so there will always be cases where long distance transportation of finished products is still preferred

Early automators will obviously leave roadblocks behind them, new regulations regarding automation, etc.
Some other PoS systems are focused on high performance on chain, but ETH PoS is security and decentralization. There are over 400,000 nodes staking and validating, and the protocol supports quite a bit more.

It doesn't have that much of a performance advantage over PoW, but that's what rollups and danksharding are for. Combined, they should support 100K tx/sec, while inheriting base-layer security properties.
FWIW I do have that condition as well, though it isn't usually called that these days.

What I gain from this is trying to move us away from comments that serve no purpose other than copy-editing each other and discouraging people from posting unless they can be confident in their adherence to the unwritten HN style guides. Which many people never can be, for various reasons.

If they had said that as part of a comment that overall served a different purpose I wouldn't have said anything. But it added nothing to this discussion except reinforcing the atmosphere that comments must be finely tuned to be taken seriously.
Chris Dixon has no business on this list. He is A16z's chief crypto shill on Twitter and blocks anyone who even remotely questions crypto/web3/blockchain.

To say he is more interested in decentralized technology than money is laughable given his complete inability to engage in any sort of healthy discussion about it. He is bad for the space.
>"I think it makes it more likely that China is going to swallow up Taiwan without even firing a shot."

I am not sure about "without even firing a shot" part but golden parachute type people and important staff will most likely be relocated to the US right before that and the rest of Taiwanese will have to suck it up. Yes very sad story and I hope it does not happen.

I want to start an agency that does everything digital, but also some mrr micro SaaS projects.

I want it to be an equal equity corp basically every hour invested earns you shares based on your senior and tenure.... Sr dev multiplier x 2 years with company for example.

Then we'd earmark like 30 percent of revenue to go into profit sharing and each state gets a reward.

The shares also calculate your voting threshold.

Senior team will be given an edge so there's an ethical dictator but not an insurmountable thing.

It might take 10 people to out vote the execs but you can't buy shares it's all earned by actions and time investment etc...

I also want to build an ERP system that can actually run a co-op like this with multiple streams of income, multiple point pools to reward employees or even customers etc....

It'd also network with other co-ops to build symmetry like Amazon marketplace does for sellers, everyone would be invested in every other syndicated companies success.
