Is there people who really enjoy music generated by AI ?
I guess there always is an audience for poorly made things or poor quality things like industrial food with low quality ingredients.

Or maybe it’ll become so good it replaces artists altogether but what’s the point of it all ?
In a way, future generations might only know this new world where music is generated by machines and won’t be shocked ?

My take is that, music is so deeply rooted within us that even if AI can generate it, it’ll never replace the human experience and it might even push music made by humans to be a luxury and be more expensive. In a way it’s a good thing for artists if money goes in their pockets, on the other hand it might severed a part of the population who will not have access to culture anymore.
Or there might be more piracy but it might kill the artist way of living and their music in the process.

I though about more concerts and all, but as of today, I find it difficult and expensive to assist concerts from where I live. I requires many hours of travel, even taking hotels which makes the experience out of reach if required a few times a month.

My brother in law is a musician but he’s never been able to make a living out of it. They performed in places but in order to live and support his family he need a job which made it harder to live of his craft.

I’m curious to see which positive change this will bring
I agree, and it's frustrating that there's so much fixation on this "single text prompt to [other thing]" use case in how people are building these things out. I think that drives a lot of the "slop" feel of these things, because the target consumer of the tools isn't someone who wants to engage with an artistic process to create something, which to me is a process of refinement and a feedback loop with one's tools, no matter what those tools are

I think this might be a good research paper proof of concept for a model, and a lack of explanation of how it works is disappointing but expected. I think as a product, the target audience for this thing isn't people who want to make art, but people who like the idea of generative AI per se. Maybe it'll go more toward being a tool artists can use in the future, but I don't think that's what gets you funded in this environment, and it seems much harder to make things that work that way. The coolest uses of and tooling for generative image models have been created by the open-source communities around them, and I think the same will be true of audio
(Honest question)

What is the difference between this microservice architecture that gets a lot of hate here?
It's like I keep saying: the first Chinese manufacturer to churn out cheap SBCs with ServerReady support will make a killing as a true Pi killer. Anyone? Anyone? Pine64? Pine64?
> I wish some people read this today instead of spending that 8minutes mindlessly scrolling TikTok

No trolling here: I fail to understand the difference between scrolling TikTok and scrolling shitty cable TV in 2000. It's not that different to me.
>If you were in this situation there are plenty of ways to correct the course.

He is correcting the course. The course of the silliness required to expect people to tip for everything because your contract with your employer is bad.
Please don't assume just because you don't read the news.

How are the 24x PCIe 5.0 lanes (~90GB/s) of the 9950X allocated?

The article makes it appear as:

* 16x PCIe 5.0 lanes for "graphics use" connected directly to the 9950X (~63GB/s).

* 1x PCIe 5.0 lane for an M.2 port connected directly to the 9950X (~4GB/s). Motherboard manufacturers seemingly could repurpose "graphics use" PCIe 5.0 lanes for additional M.2 ports.

* 7x PCIe 5.0 lanes connected to the X870E chipset (~28GB/s). Used as follows:

* 4x USB 4.0 ports connected to the X870E chipset (~8GB/s).

* 4x PCIe 4.0 ports connected to the X870E chipset (~8GB/s).

* 4x PCIe 3.0 ports connected to the X870E chipset (~4GB/s).

* 8x SATA 3.0 ports connected to the X870E chipset (some >~2.4GB/s part of ~8GB/s shared with WiFi 7).

* WiFi 7 connected to the X870E chipset (some >~1GB/s part of ~8GB/s shared with 8x SATA 3.0 ports).
Platforming them also doesn't seem to be bringing about any change though. Your argument assumes this fantasy that they will have a dialogue. That's just not what happened, they just make their own echo chambers inside the platforms. These platforms are literally optimized for community building. Banning and deplatforming achieves mental peace for people who just want to go to twitch and not be bombarded by literal nazis.
It would be nice to have some example words and sentences because I can't quite picture how the vowels look.
It's a longer story, but the gist is that one night I got a call saying some code I'd written wasn’t working properly, and they wanted me to come and fix it. When I tried to refuse, I was told they would send someone to break down my door and drag me, kicking and screaming, to fix it. The threat was very real. This was an important lesson for me: you should always be ready to take responsibility for what you write.
Finally, was waiting for this for a new build and it seems decent upgrade.
I think that decision is ultimately made by the mainboard vendor.
Thanks, the clear roadmaps on this page are great to explore their interests. DevOps might be just out of scope of their current understanding, but I think there is value in the roadmap approach for them and understanding what skills facilitate what paths. I agree with your take on internal vs. external facing roles. I think internal government roles might be their best option at this stage.
Using Unix (AIX) AWK and ksh scripts I had written to process a ton of source code to simplify the code. Only I used pipes. And large files were writing back to themselves while the head was still being read. End result was quite a lot of the larger programs were mangled. Had to restore from backup and some of my best teamies lost 2 weeks of work. And I looked like an idiot for not understanding pipes.
The entire world lived in those conditions a couple hundred years ago, now it's a handful of countries experiencing that level of deprivation. That's huge progress!

I listened to a few ones while reading the comments. Definitely more engagement than with e.g. keynote videos or general youtube.

Very funny.

Did you ever bring it up with those people?
They could however require a license for a compiler/interpreter, and then require binaries to be signed by said compiler. As you said they seem clueless, so I bet they will try.
Yet I ask sysadmins today if they would be okay if installing more modern shells on production machines so programmers can deploy scripts using them, and they say no.
I've been using Krita with the Stable Diffusion plugin, it's pretty amazing to use at times. I often read critics say things like 'you can't do layers with generative AI' and, uh, nuh? Though you can't, say, generate a shadow with adjustable alpha transparency, this doesn't seem like something that's impossible to do with the technology eventually. To think the tools won't improve would've been like looking at MacPaint and saying that digital art will never be a thing because it's always going to be low resolution and monochrome.

What I'd love is Suno/Udio as a VST plugin. Being able to supply MIDI or audio samples to pull melodies from, to generate from arbitrary audio on a timeline.
> Moreso even, since they actually have a great technical grasp of what people do, as opposed to the cursory overview ("executive glance") that CEOs these days tend to operate by

I think its still not clear if the AI has anything surmounting to a "grasp" on anything. And given the errors AI (specifically the LLMs everyone is always talking about) having an AI as your CEO still feels more akin to a Monte Carlo Simulation.

At the moment I think AI is a more useable as a great complement for your run of the mill CEO. As its able to give a human with critical thinking ability useable insight into the work theire employees are doing.

It introduced everyone to Deinonychus and to the (incorrect) name Velociraptor.
Are you complaining about people bullying nazis? I... I really want to be misunderstanding.
This is simply not true.

When you tolerate things such as child pornography, doxxing etc it makes the practice appear sanctioned and encourages others to join in. We saw this quite clearly with Reddit and Twitter.

> The way stuff is going, we're all getting more like children with one parent called Big Brother.

Easier solution, remove and replace the politicians.
I guess I'm interested in hearing why you think your employer would actually break your door and drag you to fix a bug. Was it a mafia organisation or something?
okay but using AI as a tool isnt the same as replacing right. i have a feeling no one actually thinks that not the author or even the ceos that answered it could.
I actually took a look at doing this, but most human minds aren't tuned to 4D space-time, so if you have ideas on presenting this sort of thing to most people let me know and I'll be more than happy to modify my approach!!
> Not sure how that's the same as "doesn't see a reason to solve data races". I see lots of reasons. I just think it is possible to achieve the security goals without it.

If Carbon doesn't prevent data races, then how exactly will it achieve memory safety? Will it implement something like OCaml's "Bounding Data Races in Space and Time"? [0]

If we ignore compiler optimizations, the problem with data races is that it may make you observe tearing (incomplete writes) and thus it's almost impossible to maintain safety invariants with them. But the job of a safe low level language is to give tools for the programmer to guarantee correctness of the unsafe parts. In the presence of data races, this is infeasible. So even if you find a way to ensure that data races aren't technically UB, data races happening in a low level language surely lead to UB elsewhere.

Ultimately this may end up showing as CVEs related to memory safety so I don't think you can achieve your security goals without preventing data races.

This works great.

Where do you fall on Israel vs Gaza? Does your platform let you speak freely? Is there a chilling effect due to fear of getting banned? I can say the words Tavistock here and guarantee that I will get downvoted just for mentioning it.

Shoving it off into a dark corner doesn't make it go away. IT makes people ignorant to the fact that it's going on.
This is the standard reaction humans have these days, ban things because a small minority screw it up. See guns.
> but what about crap daily newspapers that came in mass around 1900, then radio, then over-air television, then cable television?

a) None of these were, first algorithmically, and then using machine learning, optimized to constantly grab attention and maximize interaction time on an individual basis.

b) None of them had the interactive effects where peoples interactions with one another are guided and used, to draw them into echo chambers which are, again, designed to maximize interaction time.

> Then think: Is this really that different?

Yes. It is. Simple example: How do politically motivated troll armies influence an election in a reality where people don't use social media as their primary news source? Answer: They don't. They can (and likely have) bought some space in some low-quality tabloid through strawmen, but that has nowhere near the range and impact of one guy in some government office pretending to be 100000 "Average Joes" halfway across the globe.

My memory is fuzzy, there might not even had one at all in the first version. I had one of the first publicly distributed one (on a promo CD) and I remember it sure lacked a lot of stuff that were present down the road, IIRC even early 3dfx and then glquake had a bit more console options.

As for alignment, well at 320x200 (or 240 if your video card+monitor could manage):

- the crosshair might have been on the HUD layer which was pixel-aligned.

- 2px wide would have been quite wide, and 1px would have been off centre.

Tradeoffs tradeoffs.

I remember thinking that Doom had this "always looking down the sights" feel and Quake inherited that but the 3D aspect of it was more like the weapon felt belly height instead of shoulder height.

Since weapon was centered it wasn't too hard to aim horizontally, but Quake having 3d look up down and LOS hitscan line (vs Doom which hit the first enemy along a vertical plane) made Q hard-ish to aim vertically.
Thank you all for the comments. Got a lot of good input and ways to think thru the tried and true tools (enjoying ripgrep-all + fzf) plus the standard ai/rag-style tools. I do think there is room for a bridge or an integrated way to pipe in similarity / embedding into the ripgreps of the world. Maybe something close to fzf’s piping model. Will explore if I have some time.
When I saw Word 6 (dos) templating macro instructions I was quite shocked. It's not far from "web dev" work, yet you'd have people in all kinds of offices automating simple parts of their documents.

Safe platforms strongly correlate with successful platforms.

So it's actually the opposite of leeching.

The all-core max clock speed costs a lot of watts for that last 10% - close to 50% of total CPU consumption in some cases.

That's why undervolting has become a thing to do (unless you're an Intel CPU marketer) - give up a few percent of your all-core max clock rate and cut your wattage used by a lot.
Everything that doesn't need to be secure is in gitlab.com. When I used github.com I started a repository that I called "etudes" which were code and explanatory notes that went into a separate wiki repository. I used etudes for notes to myself and larger multipart explanations for others. After switching to gitlab.com, which doesn't really do wikis, I amalgamated code and notes into one repository and that works better.

For more secure information that I want to be more portable I use tiddlywiki on a USB stick.

As far as I know, Intel is still very much a fab company.
HN for unstable network connections (uses aggressive caching)
Nothing this sophisticated. From my research, MusicGen from Facebook seems to be the best open model you can run yourself. But it’s not intended for generating “songs”, just short clips of music in a style you specify. Still really really cool and fun to play with though!
Arguably that single company is ASML. There are more fabs (e.g. Intel), but AFAIK cutting-edge nodes all use ASML EUV chip fabrication machines?
> Both transactions will run, but as soon as either touches a row the other has already modified […]

The whole point of this scenario is that this never happens. The two writes touch unrelated sets of rows. There’s no point where they both try to modify the same row and a conflict is observed.
> This product might work to coordinate between a bunch of sales groups at an expo or something where quick, instant communication is needed

You nailed it.

Initially I was taken in by the novelty of the idea, but when I started seeing features like Recorded Voice, Figma Integrations etc.. I quickly back tracked.

If this works, it would work for a very focussed scenario where instant communication for a short duration/event is required.

Maybe for things like "ship war rooms" for product launches, or during holiday sale event for e-commerce websites?
These safety and alignment councils are just positions for losers and leeches. They live on the back of programmers without doing any work at all. They have a different background and they want to live at the expenses of others, just to say that they work in AI.
These processors will use the existing AM5 socket, so they fundamentally cannot make major changes to lane counts and allocations, only per-lane speeds. They're also re-using CPU's IO die from last generation and re-using the same chipset silicon, which further constrains them to only minor tweaks.

Typical use cases and motherboards give an x16 slot for graphics, x4 each to at least one or two M.2 slots for SSDs, and x4 to the chipset. Last generation and this generation, AMD's high-end chipset is actually two chipsets daisy-chained, since they're really not much more than PCIe fan-out switches plus USB and SATA HBAs.

Nobody allocates a single PCIe lane to an SSD slot, and the link between the CPU and chipset must have a lane width that is a power of two; a seven-lane link is not possible with standard PCIe.

Also, keep in mind that PCIe is packet-switched, so even though on paper the chipset is over-subscribed with downstream ports that add up to more bandwidth than the uplink to the CPU provides, it won't be a bottleneck unless you have an unusual hardware configuration and workload that actually tries to use too much IO bandwidth with the wrong set of peripherals simultaneously.

One aspect of Slack/email is that it is searchable and async. If your team has good culture and uses channels as opposed to group DMs (a very, very big issue in Teams), it allows others who were not online at the time to catch up on what’s been discussed.

They can also decide to skip entire chunks of the conversation if it isn’t relevant anymore.

Neither is a possibility with this. How do you have a more in-depth discussion? At what point do you switch from sending voice notes to a full blown discussion. How do others catch up?
That they do real work?
I work completely remote. Although I agree with authors points about the daily standup being useless I use it as an opportunity to get “face” time with the rest of my team and build comradery.
Damn!

I know people are complaining that it's dehumanizing music, and there's some truth to that, but considering I was never in the group of people of "making music" anyway, it's immensely fun to have any song I can imagine immediately materialize (even if it is a bit soulless). I would like to have thousands of prompts queued up on my GPU server and generate everything I can think of.

For some types of applications, it is a doable use case, it is the same as asking how malloc() returning NULL helps.
It's usually x16/x4/x4 for GPU/M.2/Chipset. You can check the diagrams from the current x670 boards for info.
It is possible use "recursion" to create a 20kb long URL, which would be blocked by HN for being too long. Some browsers might not support it though.
Maybe some context on why this is relevant to HN?

Also, I hate this YouTube trend of everyone thinking we care about their commentary on something. Show me the something and shut up unless that something is so complicated that we need an explanation. Ted Cruz's position on this doesn't need interpretation. He is very pointed and direct in most things he says so you immediately know if you agree or disagree.
AVX512 in a single cycle vs 2 cycles is big if the clock speed can be maintained at all near 5GHz. Also doubling of L1 cache bandwidth is interesting! Possibly, needed to actually feed an AVX512 rich instruction stream I guess.
Intel still fabs their own CPUs, their dedicated Xe graphics are made by TSMC, though.

Nvidia 30-series was fabbed by Samsung.

So there is some competition in the high-end space, but not much. All of these companies rely on buying lithography machines from ASML, though.
There are two established companies that I know of, Chinese Co. NetDragon Websoft (5k employees) has an AI CEO named Tang Yu and then there is a polish rum company called Dictador that did something similar. We'll see where it goes I guess.
I call myself an engineer- but the way I understand it is that I still have to know when to use a hammer like simply copy paste code and not some complex solution.
Just like using double linked lists in Rust is unsafe, unless special libraries are used, this is no different.

Also we aren't talking about Ada83 any longer.
> downvoted just for mentioning it

I haven't seen anyone get downvoted for saying specific words.

But definitely for incoherent, incendiary, trollish comments.
I am the CEO / Sole Worker-Owner of my CAD Automation company.

I use the AI to solve problems in domains like customer communication, tax compliance and accounting, sales, pricing, marketing, product design, software engineering, and business process automation problems.

Without the AI, I know bits and pieces about all these domains but I struggle with execution, delegation, getting overwhelmed, and putting important things on the back burner.

With the AI, I'm a dreamer CEO that actually gets production work done!
Interesting, around me, smart people succeed and not-so-smart succeed less.

The smart ones sometimes choose metrics for success that aren't traditionally valued. (Ie. not rich and financially independent like you mentioned. But boy do the smart ones succeed!)
> The CPUs are also using the previous-gen graphics architecture, RDNA2.

The GPU on these parts is there mostly for being able to boot into BIOS or OS for debugging. Basically when things go wrong and you want to debug what is broken (remove GPU from machine and see if things work)

To be fair, cats do play with rodents and whatnot, sometimes just for fun, and bring them home to their humans as a “present” in hopes of praise.

Plenty of indoor/outdoor cats do this, and while I agree that cats shouldn’t be feral, if a cat is too feral to be an indoor cat but works well as an indoor/outdoor cat or barn cat, that is far superior to putting them down.
Udio as a platform gives off this creepy dystopian vibe and I’m really not a fan. All the music is super uncanny valley - no idea who is actually listening to it.

That said, I think there’s a great use for AI generated music in background noise. I’ve been playing with Facebook’s MusicGen and it’s really fun. I’m working on making a personal 24/7 radio station based on whatever prompt I want. It’s a far shot from actual human-created music from a melodic standpoint, but if I just want an infinite stream of noise while I work or read, I think it’ll be good enough.
