Of course. The UI was revamped indeed, that's the whole point when you hire a UI designer because they criticized your UI and you think they are right.

I noticed since I have been using MuseScore for some time and definitely before MuseScore 4 and also since I saw his videos about it.

You did not answer my questions "Is it a personal opinion you have on this? Has someone written something on it this I could check out?". I'll consider the answers to be "Yes" and "No" (respectively) until proven otherwise, and therefore consider that nothing was ripped off until I run into strong evidence of the contrary, on the basis of the Sagan Standard ("extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence") [1].

You already claimed that Tantacrul trashed Dorico, which I disagree with, so I'm already not very inclined to follow you without strong reasons.

I'll gladly believe that some changes may have been inspired by Sibelius, Finale and Dorico since Tantacrul have scrutinized them, or have used them extensively. Anything more ("questionable ethics", "ripping off") will require some backing. Until then, I'll just consider that you just don't like Tantacrul (or MuseScore, or the Muse) for some reason.

Will be interesting to watch regulatory arbitrage play out over the next couple of years if the US and EU diverge from this take in upcoming legal disputes.

Could the accident be linked to the clarity of radio instructions? I saw a discussion suggesting the DH aircraft might have been unsure about the correct runway to use, C1 or C5.

My aim isn't to critique the English proficiency of non-native speakers, especially those from non-Proto-Indo-European linguistic backgrounds. As a non-native English speaker myself, I understand the challenges.

However, I found it trully hard to comprehend the airport's side of the communications due to heavily accented and unclear pronunciation. Shouldn't there be a greater emphasis on air traffic controllers improving their English skills, since English is lingua franca (pun intended) of aviation.

Or perhaps this is irrelevant, considering aviation's global nature. Are pilots expected to adapt to and understand communications with strong accents?
I agree that the ticket id should go somewhere in the commit message. Certainly if things like pull requests are tied to tickets. However I get a little concerned that such sentiments are so popular here. Because the ticket id is a nice contextual link. But the commit message should be self-contained with regards to the change.[1]

It’s a version control system. That includes an explanation as well. The explanation for each revision is integral.

And I don’t think people here really disagree with that. Just that they might prefer to put all that integral information somewhere else—the information (princess) is in another castle, Mario. Why? Why not at least just copy-paste the relevant information into the version control system proper? I see this all the time; people often do the same with GitHub pull requests—paragraphs upon paragraphs in the pull request description and then just a “Merge <convoluted URL>” in the merge commit message!

It’s not that I blame people for this. Maybe Git is just so unergonomic that many would prefer to offload everything into another interface (even Jira).

[1] My tickets will usually have all the history. Maybe a lot of back and forth. The commit message though will just have what was done when all was said and done—no back and forth, just the result. And some of my tickets probably don’t even have a description body since what I ended up doing is just described in the commit message.
This is lovely.

First, I could only imagine playing ASCII like games (such as old Roguelikes, especially ones with outside worlds, such as OMEGA[0], with this as animating the fields, waters, etc - would be interesting.

However, I was really drawn to how this might be used on GIS pointclouds, topographical maps (for animating flows down topographic GIS data?)

Nothing. I think that the only program I ever bought was some incremental backup software for Windows XP for my laptop at home but that was some years later, in the 2000s. For everything else, free or open source solutions were good enough for me even when I still used Windows.

By the way, I'm using rsnapshot for my backups now.
Does SpamBayes still work?
The background noise is a subtle detail I would have never noticed on my own, but it does subconsciously make the blog appeal to me. Content in front of something that looks like real paper appears more credible than the same content on a flat background.
Welfare is taking money from productive people and giving it to unproductive people.

In order for this to work in a democracy, you have to convince the productive people that the unproductive people are unproductive for good reasons (i.e. means testing). If you don't do this, the productive people will vote for anti-welfare politicians.

Or maybe I just "have a pathology".
Why is it "hopefully equally?" I'm not convinced a system that gives Grande and Eilish both $1 per stream on $2 revenue is inherently better than one that gives Grande $1.50 and Eilish $0.50 from $2 revenue, or better than one that gives Grande $0.10 and Eilish $0.05 from $2 revenue.

It's more like "we could show this on TV because we had a verbal agreement with the rights owner, but our lawyers won't let us put it on streaming because we probably don't have the actual rights to display that content, and so it's a legal liability we don't need". Do the rights holders actually care? Is it clear who the rights holders actually are? Maybe not, but nobody wants to find out.
Couple things happened between Oslo and this year, didn't they?
As I understand it (at least in the US), your land rights are based off of relative measurements from a static (to the land) point. They often look like medallions on the ground, anchored in place by fairly sizable stakes to ensure they don't easily move.

The positions of those medallions... not as sure, but I imagine they are in turn positioned according to other static points.

If the land cracks, well, I have no idea. That would be a legal battle no doubt.

EDIT: These fixed points are called "common points" or "points of beginning (POB)", and there's usually one per neighborhood. There are also apparently buried iron rods (survey pins) that define property lines that can be found using a metal detector or such, but they are not foolproof.
Screen space effects scale poorly!
If AI is a winner-take-all industry, they are prudent to clear the way for it.
They didn't used to. And, of course you are correct that survey markers are to landmarks. But, more and more people are using data from online mapping services, that largely think they can store locations in lat/lng. People seem to trust that as "the UTC of location data."

That said, those can be just as fraught, no? Since movement will not be fully uniform for the entire continent? And landmarks aren't static things, either? I'm curious how landmarks are done to preserve this, long term?
As far as I'm aware, COM based APIs *are* C-APIs, just with a couple of additional conventions for lifetime management via refcounting, versioning interfaces and wrapping C++ classes into structs with function pointer jump tables ;)

> Why not mention things like that along with all the optimism?

He does mention things like that. For one, he posted a link to this article: https://twitter.com/bryan_johnson/status/1721578475759239658....

He's also made a number of posts, often as replies to people asking the same sort of question that you are, pointing out that 95% of longevity is the simple things we're aware of (diet, exercise, etc.) and that he's just testing out all the other stuff because he can/he's interested/it's a worthwhile investment of time and money for him to get that last 5%.
Not typically hundreds of hours networking for a single position, but it's difficult to overstate the value of that network when you're looking for a job. Anything at all you can do to skip the HR resume filter will put you in a much better spot than 95% of other applicants. All of my major career advancements have come because of a combination of what I know and who I know. I can't see myself ever applying for a role using the HR provided application mechanisms. Any future job will be a referral, just like the last few have been.

mIRC - after pirating it for years I paid for it in the early 00:s, such great example of free-forever shareware with a persistent design goal. Did enjoy learning simple programming in mIRC scripts on a pirated copy in the 90s as a poor kid.
Will be great to see Japan become world leaders in AI and for the regulators to realize they're shooting themselves in the foot.
But I actually think this is a reasonable way to fix a hard-to-pin-down bug in any context, at least temporarily. (In my case, I don't intend to go back because it's not my app and mostly for personal use, but that's beside the point.)

There was a tradeoff between performance and complexity. The high-performance, high-complexity version was buggy, so I switched to a simpler option at the cost of some performance.

This isn't where the LLM was significant. The LLM was able to make sense of unreadable decompiled code, similar to how the author had ChatGPT translate from compiled assembly code back to C. (Giving GPT-4 the actual assembly never occurred to me, in hindsight I should have tried that first.)

This reminds me a little bit of the idea of affirmations as a filter on the mind.

>synthetic data from simulation to feed the next gen of AI

Oh, damn, Hadn't thought of that - is this already happening? Or, where may I read more about what people are thinking about having AI feeders come up with synthetic data to pump into newer models?

@Ganzuul - So the next AI trope might be "Yeah, but can it play Crisis?"

Imagine fighting 'Terminators' who have been trained on billions of hours of AIs playing FPS+Stealth games.

However, the real will be 'Death From Above' - I am sure all the Drone data from all the recent wars will be used to make tiny killer robots.

I've trained in Martial Arts for 30+ years.

Watching Russian solders being taken out with flying FPS grenade drones is so disheartening, and really makes ones 'Martial Arts' ego die quickly.

Luckily - I was in a deeply spiritual and meditative art - not just Bikini Brawlers such as the UFC produces.

AI, drones, Human War is FN scary as heck for the future.
FWIW I've been using SpamAssassin for over a decade personally (partly to avoid Google dependence), and it's been pretty darn good once I ran the Bayesian learning thing a few times many years ago. I get like 3-5 spams per week in my inbox. Do others really consider SA that bad?
> It's just super impractical.

But that’s the whole point of a version control system. That’s all it is for.

If that is super impractical then our VCSs (Git and others) must be too impractical to use.
Honestly this is one of the best technical audio forums. I always really appreciated how they take their rules seriously, like

> TOS 8. All members that put forth a statement concerning subjective sound quality, must - to the best of their ability - provide objective support for their claims. Acceptable means of support are double blind listening tests (ABX or ABC/HR) demonstrating that the member can discern a difference perceptually, together with a test sample to allow others to reproduce their findings. Graphs, non-blind listening tests, waveform difference comparisons, and so on, are not acceptable means of providing support.

This is because the authors aren’t trying to teach you anything. They are trying to show how smart they are and make a name for themselves with their peers. They could care less whether you learn. Almost no one doing deep learning will learn much from this.

I liked Textpad as well, and - besides other things - used it to write ANSYS files.

When I got Internet access at work, I downloaded the ANSYS syntax file from the Textpad website and to my surprise they were written by my boss at the time.

This made me think that the Internet must be a small world too, and for some time it maybe really was. Good times!

EDIT: I checked it out and for sure... drumroll! The file is still there:

We'll get there eventually, but it will be a bit. Spam classification at scale is already a compute-bound, or at least compute-starved, operation. Spam classification systems already do what they can to avoid so much as invoking a virus scanner if they can avoid it, because at scale it's so expensive. LLM-based spam classification is another order of magnitude more expensive and would require hardware that current spam systems do not have.

But that's a problem that will resolve itself over time, in a variety of ways. And the spam systems can play the same tricks with only invoking it on a fraction of emails too, of course. It's just at current expense levels, that would be a very small fraction indeed. I'd hazard that trying to use modern AI on spam classification at scale could easily consume 10x-100x of all current AI hardware and still make less of a dent than you'd hope.

I fail to see how sensible copyright policy is equivalent to burning infants as human sacrifice to Canaanite deities.
Having an actual fleet of vending machines would be an excellent cover for such a scam, but even if they're unprofitable, you still need do do some amount of work to maintain that cover. Soon, the cover story becomes an actual 'job' and you have to wonder if you're pulling in enough cash with the crime to rationalize it.

It's a good point but I'm a perfectionist and can't abide without a web version.

though, now that I write that...

Native: FFI.

Web: Dart calling simple JS function, and the JS handles WASM.

...is an excellent sweet spot. Matches exactly what I do with FONNX. The trouble with WASM is Dart-bounded.

(n.b. re: local cloning for anyone this deep, this would allow local inference of the existing voices in the Raspberry Pi x ONNX voicer project above. It won't _necessarily_ help with doing voice cloning locally, you'll need to prove out that you can get a voice cloning model in ONNX to confirm.)

(n.b. re: translating to Dart, I think the only advantage of a pure Dart port would be memory safety stuff but I also don't think a pure Dart port is feasible without O(months) of time. The C is...very very very 2000s C. globals in one file representing current state that 3 other files need to access. array of structs formed by just reading bytes from a file at runtime that matches the struct layout)
No, banks don't take deposits and invest that money. Banks don't loan out deposits. The opposite is true, loans create deposits. Banks make money off the spread in the interest of their loans to deposits (which are usually zero ore almost zero). Also fees, they make money off charging fees.
So I can see the logic in treating the inputs to the AI training data sets the same way we treat humans learning something.

A potential downside is that AI systems can 'mechanise' the creation of material that potentially infringes copyright (in the same way that human generated content can infringe)

But a potential upside is that we can 'mechanise' the process by which we judge whether new content infringes the copyright of older material.
I think it sometimes makes sense to carry extra people to help with offloading, depending on the situation. The Dash-8 is not a cargo aircraft - it's not like you can just roll pallets on and off.

It's also possible that it would do a cargo run, and then do some surveillance operations (the JSDF employ the Dash-8 in the maritime surveillance role) to help with damage assessment.
I feel like this will cause pseudo companies to pop up in japan just for training AI models. That way any company that wants to deflect blame can just deflect it to the pseudo company, which then has no legal obligation to respect the copyright.
I think it’s a weak argument anyway. A pencil can be used to recreate copyrighted works. Why should a LLM be different? The legal responsibility always has been and should continue to be on the person publishing or making available the work.

And at any rate, a country banning this tech will be missing the revolution. Protecting the buggy whip manufacturers and all that.
Something else is going to have to give... copyright applies to artists and authors not in the sense they can't learn from other peoples' content, but that they can't plagiarize it. So either that end will have to stand the same for humans and AI, one way or the other.
I'm also curious if anyone has a good article to read on how this is managed. My guess would be that you have reference points and sets of nearby things that are recorded relative to the closest reference point. As noted in the sibling, your plat map is likely set against a local landmark. (Though, even there, they often also include the lat/lng of where it is expected to be found.)
Just to note, most of the underground stations on the Washington D.C. metro system are bare concrete. The way the stations are constructed, using a low barrier wall, discourages people from touching the main station walls. The low light kind of also helps hide some of the grime. But overall they're relatively clean.

sounds like many places like the US etc will no longer be able to recognize/reciprocate with Japanese copyright laws and AI products. Japanese AI products might never be able to make it to the west.
> the 1st and 2nd seasons were released on DVD, the 3rd was pressed and ready to go but never actually shipped

The Muppet Show itself had a similar issue—the show was 5 seasons, but seasons 4 & 5 never made it to DVD. I had assumed that they were gone for good, but Disney+ actually released all 5 seasons.

Maybe someday we'll also see the later versions of The Muppet Show, like "Muppets Tonight" or "the muppets.". But I'm not holding my breath.

I see a lot of recommendations for kagi, but no mention of brave search - specifically the (beta) feature called “goggles”. Afaiu it’s a blend of kagi’s “lenses” and the site ranking in search results.

https://search.brave.com/help/goggles

There is a list (search) of public goggles: https://search.brave.com/goggles

The goggles itself are just text files with basic syntax and can be hosted on e.g. github gist. (though you have to publish it to brave)

https://github.com/brave/goggles-quickstart/blob/main/goggle...

Tbh, I can’t really compare brave search to kagi, since I never used kagi (though I’m using Orion - webkit based browser from the same dev and love it). Afaik, brave search is using its own index, thus making the results somehow limited and inferior to kagis.
Just wanted to throw some (free) alternative here that works for me. :)

* Note that Brave search, despite privacy oriented, is still ad funded and there was few controversies about brave’s (browser) privacy in the past. (if that’s relevant for you)

* I’m not affiliated with Brave in any way.
humans and AI aren't the same. There's no reason to think it will have to be the same.
I AI has only the one benefit of destroying the very idea of copyright, this in itself will be a huge win for humanity.
