I'm not confused at all, I've been making a living from the FLOSS DAW I've been developing for the last 24+ years.

There is tension between "free to distribute" (which implies you can get it without paying), as well as "free to modify" (which implies you can build it yourself from source) and "the need to ensure that development continues".

But it is only a tension, not a contradiction. Anyone can get Ardour without paying, yet it raises $200k+ per year to help ensure that development continues.

Curious where you work, so I can avoid it. I get my work done in <40 and while I’m not the world’s best engineer, my bosses have always been happy with my work and the value I’ve provided.
There's a lot of negative comments here, but these are the earliest days and generating entire songs is kind of the hello world of this tech.

There's always going to be a balance between creating high level tools like this with no dials and low level tools with finer control, and while this touts itself as being "more controllable", it's clearly not there. But, the same way Adobe has integrated outpainting and generative fill into Photoshop, it's only a matter of time before products like this are built into Ableton and VSTs - where a creator can highlight a bar or two and ask your AI to make the the snippet more ethereal, create a bridge between the verse and the sax solo, or help you with an outro.

That said, similar to generating basic copy for a marketing site, these tools will be great for generating cheap background music but not much else, but any musician, marketing agency, or film-maker worth their salt is going to need very specifically branded music for their needs, and they're likely willing to pay for a real licence to something audiences will recognize, using generative AI and tools to remix the content to their specific need.
This entirely depends on your local jurisdiction.

Even in the US, not all of this is settled law.
Great work and I'm excited to see more competition in this space.The vocals do seem more impressive / less wooden than Suno. Would really love to see a future of more controlability and separating out the different audio tracks for vocals etc. Best of luck and hope the corporate landlords and RIAA Golems don't come after you, haha
I want the ability to have something like this integrated with VS code. I want to be able to start typing out a component name, or press a key shortcut to see components... scroll through... select the export format (React). And then see it rendered in a sideview, with my own theming applied. Use nostril inhale and exhale to tweak certain things.. and then of course, hook it up to data by dragging a little arrow from the 'data' buckets on my hud to the component.
I uploaded a bit of a song that I recorded once (that I wrote, unpublished), and I am trying to get it to riff on it, generate something close to it, etc.
The lesson I learned quite recently was that I'm not able to satisfy everyone and it's OK

> also infamous for being hard to modify

Perl is not forcing any particular style. If you don't care about maintainability you can quickly hack code which will solve the problem but will be hard to understand/update. If you do you can use tools like Perl::Critic to enforce a certain style. And lack of documentation and comments (which makes maintenance harder) IMHO not language specific problem at all.

> and there are no test cases

Modules on CPAN had tests back when open-source libraries in other languages didn't have any. It's not hard to write tests for Perl code but if you don't have time to write them or it is not a priority it's unfair to blame the language.
If this was nix it would still work.
> Have to train something, though. Nobody should be the gardener in a war.

Most people have no martial training and never need it. It might be better to train in descalation or something much more useful, like JavaScript.
I'll keep an eye out for that! The variations feature in Suno is a good example of what not to do here, as it effectively just makes another random iteration using existing settings.

I think the other missing pieces I've found are upscaling and stem splitting. While existing tool exist for splitting stems exist, my testing found that this didn't work well in practice (at least on Suno music), likely due to a combination of encoder-specific artifacts and the overall low sound quality. Existing upscaling approaches also faced similar issues.

My naive guess is that these are things that will benefit from being closely intertwined with the generation process. Eg when splitting up stems, you can use the diffusion model(s) to help jointly converge individual stems into reasonable standalone tracks.

I'm excited about the potential of these tools. I've definitely personally found uses cases for small independent game projects where a paying for musicians is far out of budget, and the style of music is not one I can execute on my own. But I'm not willing to sacrifice on quality of results to do so.
Greenpeace has been responsible for much habitat destruction because Greenpeace has lobbied for more coal mining and oil extraction over nuclear power.

My side project helps my mom make more money as a teacher
My mom has been teaching Spanish online for a while. She loves it.

But she kept complaining about how time-consuming (and boring) it is to schedule classes and keep track of payments.

All existing solutions were bad, old, and expensive.

So I build Waterlesson to help her out.

Now she spends all that time reading, writing, and sunbathing. And funny enough, gets more classes booked.

You can use it too at waterlesson.com.
that version control system provided a number of facilities cvs didn't (locking, and also a certain degree of integration with our build system permitting the various developers to only recompile the part of the system they were working on, which was important because recompiling the whole thing usually took me about a week, once a month), but it had never actually occurred to me that turning an rcs repository into a cvs repository like that was a possibility. also i never realized pvcs used rcs under the covers. thank you very much
...which is exactly why the mentality i described is endemic
Good question. I think the answer is no -- I never promised consistency ;-)

For Python, I'd follow PEP8 [1], as it is more important to follow the local programming culture, even if it has some warts. Otherwise, programs from multiple people would quickly become messy, and learning and code reuse between projects becomes harder.

I didn't do much lisp, but considered the builtins as library functions I theoretically could have written myself. So they were lower case, as coherent with all other names of functions etc...

Can't comment on Lua, I've done <100 lines of it and forgot basically all of it.

I used to write BASIC keywords in upper case and vars lowercase (GOTO longlongago)

Tradeoffs, tradeoffs, tradeoffs, as always. I presume SQL has not much consistency in formatting and casing, so I grew my own convention.

It seems only OK as a model? Looking at the LLM chat leaderboard it's 71st and the 14B version is worse than a lot of 7B models:

https://huggingface.co/spaces/lmsys/chatbot-arena-leaderboar...

Also, llama.cpp makes inference accessible for a lot of people, and it's not available for RWKV.

Not to knock on the model, I'm sure it's good. I also like that it's a succesful example of citizen science.

It's just not popular enough to have the inference infrastructure transformers have, not established enough to attract enough money to get 60B+ models trained, and so on.
This is the unfortunate truth, blocking expansion of federal services to pown opponents.
For over 20 years, actually. I still have one from the 2010s and frankly I find that the new Kaleido screens practically improve _nothing_ over it.
Also doesn’t help that it’s actual name is “Worcestershire sauce” which is even more difficult to say.
In their defense, it’s because the article is (understandably) sparse on details about what makes the requirements of their ranking models different from image classification or LLMs. Unless you work in industry it’s unlikely you will have heard of DeepFM or ESMM or whatever Meta is using.

And building out specialized hardware does lock you in to a certain extent. Want to use more than 128GB of memory? Too bad, your $10B chip doesn’t support that.

Any specific reason for hating roblox? I'm especially interested in game developer perspective (parent perspective is familiar to me being father of two and aware that most of roblox content is of rather poor quality)
Yeah, the need to fight weekly definitely had a lot to do with the style back then. As for the gambling circuits, my trainer once told me that the bookmakers didn't like surprise knockouts that could mess up their numbers, so rules and style changed. Maybe that has something to do with clinch being dominant, you certainly could get taken out with an elbow or knee in the clinch, but maybe less so. I do love watching old Petchboonchu fights though, it's amazing watching him clinch.

That's fair about kard cheuk being like the 4oz gloves, I've seen some fights with them, but like you said hands never scored as high, whereas One scores things equal these days iirc.
I'm sure the devil is in the details but I'm also pretty sure that GB capacity hard drives were readily available on the retail market by 1998.
The paper shows that the speed is comparable to transformer models, faster with smaller with "long" sequence length like 8k.
Actually it's better to do that way nowadays
Is there any reason to doubt that performance enhancing drugs enhance performance? The science on that has been clear for decades. It would make no sense for people to give a list of citations on such a well-known fact every time.

I agree that "a lot of competitors are using them" is an assumption. In the case of Lance Armstrong, so many other bikers had been caught before him that it was no longer an assumption. But that does vary by sport.

I entirely dismiss the argument that our tests catch cheaters. There have just been too many examples over the years of athletes getting away with cheating for years. At this point the burden of proof is on those who think we're catching them. In fact as articles like https://www.shu.ac.uk/news/all-articles/features-and-comment... show, anonymous surveys show that most athletes are getting away with it.

All that said, I agree on holding cheaters accountable. And think we should go farther. If someone who trains with you gets caught, you should also be punished. On the assumption that there is a chance you were just not caught, and if you weren't doping, you likely knew and didn't tell. That would create social pressure to not put your teammates at jeopardy. And I think THAT would finally end cheating.
Would it be the same as using an emulator to play a Nintendo game on your PC?

Yes, city people rarely enjoy quiet simpler life near/in the nature and wonder WTF folks actually do there, and rural folks struggle to find cities appealing enough due to all the missing bits, noise, pollution, crowds.

Work or studies overcome this, but as you write, especially with kids, getting a bit older folks somehow remember positives of their childhood and revert, if work allows it. WFH gained wider acceptance due to covid helped massively, I still hope self-driving cars/pooled ai taxis will cover the rest in few years.

Thats literally a continuous trillion dollar business, and compared to many big name corps popular here this would tremendously positively help so many people.

IIRC some psychological research found out we humans can adapt to almost any situation, positive or negative, and over time revert to our original selves and level of happiness coming from our own existence (that's why joy from ie new toy fizzles away so quickly not only in kids). But folks seem to not do that for 2 items even after time passes - pets you actually enjoy (consistent positive energy) and long daily commutes where life tickles away and you are stuck doing nothing worthwhile for your life (the opposite).
If you look at https://globe.adsbexchange.com, and filter for military/interesting (the U button at the top of the screen), you'll see that at any given time there are a LOT of military flights over the US. Most are transport, refueling tankers and what seem to be pilots-in-training (mostly in Texas and Florida, some in Colorado), but there are plenty of helicopters and smaller Lear-type jets. When the president or vice president is flying somewhere there are typically one or more E-3 AWACS planes in the air to provide radar coverage.

There are certainly military planes that fly without ADSB, but for flights where secrecy doesn't matter, they seem to fly with it on. I've seen all manner of planes with ADSB, from U2 spy planes, F-15, F-16, A-10, the occasional B-52, and more.
How do people in street fights not break their hands?

Nice, but Google login is a no-go for me (or any form of social login, really).
I do similarly with Sidebery (a TST-like extension) which has 'panels' (groups of tabs or tab trees that you can tab between). A nice bonus is that you can assign containers to panels too, so they automatically open in the right place, you don't mix cookies between 'work' and 'personal' or whatever, etc

And for me having that as sort of 'super tabs' in the sidebar is nicer than flicking between multiple windows, but I can imagine some would prefer the more tangible separation.
Why would a troll care if you agree or are giving the side eye? Their whole existence is simply to see if they can goad you into replying.

Diversifying a lot. Next acquisition will be Ghost(https://ghost.org/) I bet. Similar DNA, fits in the portfolio (If they are trying to match the feature set of Google) and have no VC backing.
Pretty sure bash and Perl and C (and make and autotools and probably something I'm forgetting) are the beaten path in this context, i.e. software building and deployment on Unix.

Ansible has surprised me way more often than bash has. The latter is upfront about being weird and a little bit insane, Ansible tries to have a better image. In my experience that is true also for Puppet and some other similar tools, which I'd never use without payment, at least until I can afford personal medium iron somewhere and need to provision and handle hundreds of more or less ephemeral virtual machines.

In part because I enjoy having pets rather than herds in my personal projects, but also because when using the shell or POSIX there's very little overhead, like venv and python libs and so on that will inevitably irritate me a few times a year even if I rarely use them directly.
Well, the voters approved a 400 million bond about 10 million of which is earmarked for "improvements to the Muni train system, including the train communication and control systems". I'm sure they'll find a way to spend it.
Well, if I have a local entry

ACME, inc Employment Income $100 DEBIT

in my employment income account that money has not come out of thin air. Remember, money can not be created nor destroyed in this system. Somewhere there is a matching entry something like

bregma, services rendered $100 CREDIT

in my employer's books. And that money, in turn, was probably moved in from some other account internally. Mean time the only real movement of "money" was an electronic communication between two banks (my employers and mine), with a matching entry in an account in each.

Things like income accounts and expense accounts are not magic sources or sinks for money flows. They're just half of a double entry system with the other half somewhere else.
I think Haidt would certainly say this is the most impactful cause, but specifically his research has shown a causal relationship for this factor, not that it is the only factor. It's quite likely there are other factors that have some impact, but so far no one has made a compelling case for any other major factor.
Your FAQ mentions "free version you can only use it for your personal purpose", yet the license for the components on GitHub is MIT. Can you clarify what exactly is free and what you're selling?
Hah, 105 miles to 1.5 miles (will it even make it that far?)... Did anyone serious really believe they were going to pull this off?
This just in:

Improperly handled input is, and continues to be far and away the most prominent and exploited security issue (outside of phishing).

I am actually a bit afraid on rust for situations like this. Similar to how bicyclists get substantially more “brave” when they wear a helmet, I wonder if rusts claim to safety will cause a substantial increase in badly handled inputs by rust devs. Time will tell.

Edit:

Sorry for accidentally creating a criticism of rust out of documented human behaviour, Mr instant down voter.

This is why the anti-rust brigade has grown so much. This community is utterly incapable of introspection of any kind.
Totally not the point of the article but the claim that she was "the world's most dominate athlete" piqued my interest as I've never really heard of her. Apparently SI published this in 2015(the link in the article to SI is broken).

This is the same year that Serena Williams, a household name, won the first three Grand Slam singles tournaments. This coming off a 2014 US Open win so 4 in a row. Anyway, some historical context lol.
I simply meant it was ambitious compared to prior Intel iGPUs, especially stuff like Skylake GT2 where you could be playing at 720P low and still not get 30 FPS.

The chiplet strategy is kind of ambitious too because there's power overhead and they're targeting battery powered devices with Meteor Lake.

I don't feel like prompt understanding is very good, I don't think I really ever got close to what I wanted with any of the attempts I made, I imagine learning the model tags and building some intuition might help but I wouldn't bother with that unless I was tinkering with a local model.

Some things it made sounded ok, but I feel like the average generation quality wasn't fantastic. It did a folk guitar melody and a vocoded thrash metal voice that I thought sounded pretty legit, but mostly vocals had an ear grating quality and everything had a bit of low bitrate vibe.

To be honest though, I don't think you need to try and outcompete Suno. I think you want to get into DAWs and VSTs and become the tool all the best producers in the world use. Spit out stems, and train your model on less processed sounds because things like matching reverb/delay and pre-squashed dynamics are a pain in the ass to work around.

Suno is trying to battle a large established industry that is actually very creator friendly and accessible. If you choose to instead serve that industry and enable it I think that's the winning play.
It's clear to the reader that it's her point of view. It's assumed the reader is a mature social creature who naturally considers context, the speaker, their knowledge, etc., not a credulous empty vessel that just accepts whatever is poured in.
Nisan and Wigderson prove many different corollaries of their construction in their seminal 'Hardness vs Randomness' paper but their requirement for general derandomization (P = BPP) is that there's some function f computable in time 2^O(n)
such that for some e > 0 for all circuits of size 2^en the correlation between f and the output of the circuit is sufficiently low (if I understand correctly).
That's too simple. That logic roughly works the balance sheet. However, it says nothing about the income statement.

For the income statement, CR -> revenue and DR -> expense.
It also performs better on any other size.

Intel has never shipped a chip where the iGPU can come close to using the full TDP. I'm not sure the Meteor Lake iGPU can even reach half of the TDP. In actual gaming the CPU cores will be pulling more power than the iGPU as often as not.
Maybe, but is the interface a significant factor here? From what I understand one of the biggest advantages of Nvidia among GPU companies is their strong software part (eg CUDA). That speaks to that Apple has a different kind of integration advantage (they probably need a much smaller software base because they control a lot of the other side of it).

I must say I don't see anyone outcompete Nvidia anytime shortly though. I just don't see anyone having any significant edge. But, I didn't see Apple coming either, despite iPhone showing clear signs of some very exciting performance increases year after year. I guess I didn't think Apple was interested/thought it was worth it. After all, their market/value (imo) stems not so much from a CPU advantage (very clearly it didn't just a few years ago laptop wise anyway). And it's risky - it could end up as it did before with PowerVR.
One of the "tells" for military aircraft flying without ADSB is when you see refueling tankers (KC-135) doing loops for periods of time, and no other military aircraft around. Those tankers are refueling something, they don't just fly around for grins.

1. A fashionable language (e. g. Rust) make it easier to attract new developers, some may contribute just to learn the language. Perl is as unfashionable as it gets for a language still in active use. But if the project don't need a lot of changes / new features it should not matter.
Also, voting against abortion rights so doctors like oncologists say "screw this" and move to a state that wants them.

(Pregnancy suppresses the mother's immune system and thereby increases the risk of cancer -- a pregnant woman has something like a 0.1% chance of having cancer -- and many of the treatments either cause abortion or would seriously damage a fetus, making abortion necessary.)
Most ancient Greek games, including the Olympic Games, had 3 separate competitions of combat sports, wrestling, pankration and pugilism. Some people competed in more than one of them, so pugilism was usually scheduled to be the last of the 3, because otherwise those injured in pugilism would not have been able to compete in the following competition.

Pankration allowed striking, kicking, wrestling and submission grappling, so it was very similar to the MMA of today.

However, the pankration fighters did not bandage their hands with leather straps, like the pugilists, so they were not able to hit as hard the head of the opponent.

Moreover, they had plenty of other options for winning a match, so striking was not as emphasized as in pugilism, which remains true today in MMA vs. boxing.
