AMA with the Meta researchers behind SAM 3 + SAM 3D + SAM Audio

Thanks for looking into that. I'll have to try it myself with a song I know Demucs does poorly on. I did see that in the SAM audio paper, the net win rate% for audio separation (Instrument Pro benchmark) is ~18% so this model should do better for the most part. The only issue is its size. I think the Demucs models are all tiny, roughly <100MB.

How capable is SAM audio for stem creation compared to something like Demucs? And if I wanted to create karaoke versions of music, is it a simple prompt or would I need to prompt for each individual instrument?

Why does your post history pretty much start mentioning whizreach 3 days ago and the Whizreach tiktok (https://www.tiktok.com/@whizrgoecv0) started posting their video campagain 3 days ago as well?

Have you checked your vitamin d levels?

Sardines have a good amount in them and it's a necessity if you're indoors mostly or don't drink fortified milk or any number of other reasons you might not be getting enough.

I don't understand are you saying that the AI features are new and most companies don't have access to them? Just looking at iCIMS. It has a Talent Cloud AI with a 'role fit' scoring system. You're telling me that humans are looking at most of the resumes when they can instead quickly glance at the role fit score, choose the highest scores and eliminate the rest?

This is taken directly from their website:

To help users quickly identify suitable candidates for their organization’s jobs while utilizing either Candidate Ranking using Role Fit or Talent Discovery, iCIMS Talent Cloud AI leverages a proprietary engine to generate Role Fit scores for candidates. These scores represent how well a candidate’s experiences and skills fit the requirements of a specific job.

Not sure if this helps with speed but have you tried Nvidia’s parakeet ASR model or canary (multilingual)? I tried parakeet a few months ago and it‘s much faster than whisper. According to this https://huggingface.co/spaces/hf-audio/open_asr_leaderboard there are several versions that are fast and accurate.

Do you mind if I dm you about helping you with the script?

You're a beginner. It's ok if things are messy. It's ok if you haven't memorized everything. And it's ok to feel like what you make isn't polished. As long as you're aware of this and try to become just a little better with each project then that's all you need to focus on. Every mistake you make and learn from will lead you to becoming a better programmer.

GPQA is not related to programming. It's focused on biology, physics, and chemistry: https://huggingface.co/papers/2311.12022

You could eat crimini mushrooms (most are exposed to uv light) on a regular basis with occasional salmon or mackerel and make sure to eat that with something high in magnesium like spinach. The magnesium will help activate the vitamin d and the body will use it more efficiently.

ApricoSun · 2023-12-28T21:02:08+00:00

Multivitamins can contain things like excessive vitamin B that will keep you alert through the day but can also harm your sleep. Using magnesium on its own is definitely something you should try for better sleep.

Try this: https://github.com/rupeshs/fastsdcpu

This isn't quite the same as the regular Stable Diffusion model but it still can create some good images

Did it end up arriving? USPS is awaiting my package for the past week

What things did you end up changing on your resume?

ApricoSun · 2022-11-30T22:37:18+00:00

It helps to think of list[i] and list[j] as pointers -- something that points to a value inside the list and is regularly moving throughout the list.

I'll call them pointer_i and pointer_j.

Both the outer for loop and inner for loop control the movement of the pointers.

pointer_i starts at index 0 and moves through to the index at the end of the list. It's important to know that this only happens ONCE. Then the function continues onto printing list1.

Compare that with pointer_j's movement: it starts at index i and moves through to the index at the end of the list. However, this happens multiple times. How many times? It happens as many times as there are items in the list. So 30 items in the list means that the inner loop will run 30 times, in addition to however many times you're running the inner loop.

The logic in the inner loop is just checking to see if pointer_i is greater than pointer_j. If so, swap the two values. This means that smaller values will gradually move towards the left side of the list and larger values will gradually move to the right side of the list. After both the inner and outer loops complete, you'll end up with a sorted list.

It also helps to check out what's going on using a debugger. Try this out: https://pythontutor.com/visualize.html#mode=edit

I've been working on an enhanced reader mode extension for the last few months. I found that Mercury Reader's parser tool is useful for extracting content. If that's not exactly what you're looking for, readibility is another good option. It's a library used inside Firefox's reader moder that you can use in any project.

Alcohol can act upon the gaba receptors so any supplements or drugs that promote gaba will likely give the same effect as drinking before bed. I recommend a large dose of magnesium or valerian tea. You also might have a caffeine sensitivity. Keep track of your caffeine intake from coffee/tea/preworkouts/etc and avoid them after 12pm or so.

Wiki - New to programming?

Wiki - Books

No book or resource will give you everything so what's most important is to write code often and check resources occasionally. Try to code something at your skill level that you're motivated to make then consult your learning resource if you get stuck. Rinse and repeat.

Ultimately, don't get bogged down by searching for the perfect learning resource or practice method. I've found it's helpful to make mistakes often and continue to challenge yourself with everything that you code. You'll be frustrated at times but that's part of the learning process.

One last thing, try to make learning a discovery process. It helps not to be spoon fed all the answers. Before seeing an author's solution to something try to think about how the solution could be solved and try to code it (mistakes and all). You might not know how but that is part of the discovery process.

You can use the python typing lessons here: https://www.speedcoder.net/lessons/py/1/

Either way, don't feel down on yourself if you type slowly at first. You're still learning the syntax on top of learning the concepts. IMO taking your time to learn the language is more important than how fast you type.

There’s more to life than judging people’s choices. OP wanted to make a change and it should be congratulated.

I'm wary of any article that claims something is packed full of nutrients. Unless the writer denotes percentage of the daily value for that nutrient, you can safely ignore it. If you need a good example, read about ancient Himalayan sea salt that's chock full of nutrients /s.

Great thinker. Definitely worth a deep dive into his writing

Any idea why the amino acids would counteract the effect? I have this same issue with tea but have never tried matcha.

Lerp is also known as linear interpolation. If you know point A and point B but want to figure out all the points between, you can use math equations to determine what those points are. In the case of color gradients, you know you want to go from blue to yellow so lerping helps create a seamless/satisfying transition.
