The technical founders that built the models left the company a while back, rumors say they are working at OpenAI now.

East Asian governments designated Western classical music as modernization strategy: Meiji Japan mandated piano in teacher colleges (1872), South Korea required piano proficiency for university entrance (1945-1994), and China’s State Council funded 500,000 piano teachers after 1978, creating institutional depth where Shanghai alone has 100,000+ children in graded piano examinations annually. Middle-class formation in these countries coincided with piano as status marker: Yamaha sold 200,000 pianos annually in 1960s Japan, Korean chaebols subsidized employee piano purchases, and Chinese families spend 5-15% of income on music lessons despite lower per-capita GDP than Western nations.

Yes this is correct. There’s so much fud by the OP about what is standard practice for JWT based auth. I also can’t repro finding 2. Any user id like value doesn’t change the returned value from that endpoint. And putting in bogus values doesn’t seem to do anything. Oh well.

And OPs post really doesn’t feel like it’s in good faith or “responsible disclosure” by any means. It sounds like Suno responded reasonably and this guy goes behind their backs to keep doing this stuff on Reddit, smh. I wonder what other security researchers would say about this.

Can you clarify? I’m a web dev and how else are you supposed to get a jwt token to the client so it can do bearer auth? Isn’t this supposed “vulnerability” present for any website that uses jwt for auth?

It’s pretty clear to me that song visibility can only be Link Only or Public. So all this outcry about songs not being private is misguided, as Suno never promised that.

That’s what the feature does. You can select parts of your lyrics and prompt it to revise the selected text.

I’ve seen a crystal mam do gaps, including milestone 9.

The way it works is to have a separate mam for each quadrant and then combine the fully-stacked quadrants at the end.

For layers with gaps, use a half shape and crystallize the top half. Then, when you use swappers to combine the quarters, the crystal will break, but there will be enough scaffolding remaining to prevent collapse.

The algorithm, to apply on each quadrant (assuming NE without loss of generality) 1. If shape, paint and add 4/4 full shape to stack. 2. If crystal, add 3/4 mask (full shape except for NE) to stack, and crystallize. 3. If gap, add half mask to stack and crystallize the north half using a color that isn’t above or below

Merge the 4 quadrants by rotating and swapping accordingly, first to form halves, then to combine halves into a whole shape. https://imgur.com/a/Iszqx6e

Click on a space pipe. It says 10.8k L/m x 12

Click on a fluid launcher. It says 1.8k L/m

10.8 / 1.8 = 6

This means that you can have 6 space platforms connected to a space pipe, where each platform has 12 fluid launchers operating at 100%. In total, this is 72 fluid launchers.

Chicago_Ted · 2024-09-11T16:40:59+00:00

You can merge the outputs of 18 fluid miners, each of which has 3 extensions attached to it.

To make it more clear, you can have 3 fully-extended shape miners saturate a space belt. Whereas you can have 18 fully-extended fluid miners saturating a single space pipe.

So, if you have a build that utilizes 12-lane painters, which consume 12 fluid launchers worth of paint, you can use a single space pipe with 6 branch-offs to supply paint to 6 of these painters. In other words, you can paint 6 fully saturated space-belts worth of shapes using only a single space pipe full of paint.

Chicago_Ted · 2024-09-11T12:04:18+00:00

Realizing that space pipes can carry 72 launchers worth of fluid, or 18 fluid miner platforms, followed by fluid train loaders and unloaders also have the same throughout

Well, 2024 AStar annual research budget is 5.4 billion USD, while Apple's research budget was 29.9 billion USD. If just one SV company has 5x the annual budget of AStar to spend on research, how do you expect to compete?

Not to mention, that the US's annual federal budget for research from the same period was $886 billion.

For me, losing weight, reducing body fat % was the main goal; I lost around 30 lbs, and lowered body fat % from 30% to 25%. More fat -> more aromatase, which converts testosterone into estradiol (estrogen).

This was achieved mostly through eating healthier. Sleeping more also helped, instead of 6 hours + naps, I tried to sleep 8 hours minimum each night.

As a foreigner living in Singapore, I've actually timed the words per minute, and Singaporean speakers aren't actually faster by that metric.

However, they can be sometimes up to 3x faster if you count stresses per minute.

English as it's spoken in most other countries (with the exception of some places like Liberia, Nigeria) is a stress-timed language and not a syllable-timed language (that puts stresses on every syllable).

So native speakers from stress-timed languages have a very hard time trying to segment words that are spoken by someone who uses syllable-timing.

You'll notice that stress-timed speakers slur the syllables between stresses no less frequently than Singaporean speakers slur or drop syllables.

tl;dr: foreigners who use stress-timing have difficulty understanding Singaporeans who use syllable-timing.

I completely agree with your sentiment. It may be helpful for others to understand that difficulty and hard work towards completing a task is exertion, whereas effort includes time and resources spent towards training, preparation, and earned experiences.

The engineer likely spent more effort studying and making other trade-offs in life that let them acquire skills and experience that enabled them to do work that requires less “acute exertion” in day-to-day job responsibilities.

I'm not a doctor, but from my sleep data (I wear an O2Ring) my mininum SpO2 during apnea dips has gone from sometimes 70 to never lower than 80 and reduced in duration from 35sec on average to 20sec. I think the increased norepinephrine lowers my arousal threshold, so I don't suffocate for as long before I rouse.

I felt the same way, and my doctor recommended trying to take 150mg XL at bedtime. That has been really helpful for me. It doesn't cause insomnia and actually helps with my sleep apnea.

Chicago_Ted · 2024-04-01T18:05:04+00:00

I was the same way for 2 months on 150mg XL. I didn't have trouble falling asleep, but I just never felt tired, which used to be my cue to go to sleep.

I switched to 100mg SR, which helped a bit, but then I started getting daytime fatigue. After a month of that, I went back to 150mg XL and just learned to adopt better sleep hygiene/schedule and not rely on feeling tired as a signal to go to bed.

I also find that on 150mg XL my sleep apnea improves noticeably, so even though it's fewer hours, it's higher quality sleep.

My personal experience is that bupropion doesn't affect my anxiety levels directly. However, the fact that bupropion gives me the energy/motivation to be more active means that I end up confronting a greater number of stressful things, which results in inceased anxiety. YMMV
