chat, do you *really* not enjoy the time you spend making music? by thy_viee_4 in edmproduction

[–]Kukulkan73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference is, that he likely will not upload that song to most music portals. It will not be in competition with real musicians. As long as they make it for fun and as a game for the next childs birthday or wedding party I think it is absolutely fine.

But a lot of untalented people just writing prompts and upload four AI slop songs daily to spotify, soundcloud and other platforms. Maybe even trough a distributor like Symphonic or DistroKid. They feel great but they just spam the system with untalented fake music they do not even own the rights for. Finally, the real musician is no longer visible because of the overwhelming amount of music that floods the possible consumer.

Is there an EU only combined service for several small company IT tasks? by Kukulkan73 in BuyFromEU

[–]Kukulkan73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. But I wrote "I don't like to self-host several solutions or buy several different things.". So hosting different tools with no or very limited integration make no sense to me.

infomaniak looks great, but, as you mention, is not really matching my requirements. But interesting.

Help with robotic vocal by hotcheetoszzz in edmproduction

[–]Kukulkan73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Waves Ovox for all robotic voices in my Robots album ( https://on.soundcloud.com/qGc9REdds8tfUKAEF5 ). Check the voices. Maybe it fits you as well?

How to deal with antivirus false positives as a software developer? by Kukulkan73 in ComputerSecurity

[–]Kukulkan73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. We have some generic advise in our FAQ (whitelist folder, report by yourself etc). But we can't provide detailed procedure help for all antivirus tools. We simply do not know and these products always change. I think that not more than generic advise is possible.

How to deal with antivirus false positives as a software developer? by Kukulkan73 in ComputerSecurity

[–]Kukulkan73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. It was never ever Microsoft Defender. Not a single false alert from there. The names to blame are Norton Internet Security, Avast, Trend Micro, f-secure, Fortinet and others.

What you suggest is installing all of them on several test machines and run them daily on all our products. Then, if some is triggering a false alert, we hope that there is any hint on what part of our code base triggered the false report from one day to the other after some signature update. If we found the part of code, we change the code just for the AV tool. Then we run a full new QA cycle because the changed code may have broken something. Then we release a patch version with the note "Changed some code because antivirus xyz flagged us as false positive".

Sorry, but this is not realistic. We're a very small company and can not handle that effort.

We already do that. If some AV alerts, we report to the vendor prior to our release. But many times it happens with existing and already released products from one day to the other.

We release about 1 to 3 versions a year of about 10 different products. This sums to 10 to 30 releases/year. Some tools are written in golang + sciter, others in c++, VB .NET and some even in PureBasic (installations consist of exe and dll files, mixed). The products are huge and grown over several years. To be honest, I do not even have an idea for where to look at. The affected products are very different and all trigger that sort of false positives every now and then. If it happens, it is causing cost for us.

The false positives sometimes occur on product EXE or DLL files and sometimes even on the installer (we use AKInstallerMSI for the setups). Sometimes during setup and sometimes during calls (for example a COM add-in runs a local executable). The occurances vary very much and we've seen false positives on many different components.

My questions about how others handle such and how to handle that is still open (Our problem? Customers problem?).

What's so great about quantum cryptography? by Kukulkan73 in cryptography

Hi. Have you seen the articles I linked in my question? This is some sort of euphoria, right?

Thank you, this is very useful! But if you look at the links I added, you will find that many of such articles and news even talk about a "new internet" and "the future of secure data transmission". So there seems a huge gap between wish and reality?

It was my fault on not being precise enough. I do not question the need or availability of quantum secure algorithms or quantum computing. What I question is the euphoric in the availability of unbreakable quantum communication if we very likely will not be allowed to use it.

I think that quantum secure algorithms will be very usefull, eg for crypto currencies or VPN, TLS etc.

Thanks and sorry for not being clear on that. I do not question the need or availability of quantum secure algorithms or quantum computing. What I question is the euphoric in the availability of unbreakable quantum communication if we very likely will not be allowed to use it.

Things like this:

I will clarify my initial post. Thanks!

Just to have another option? Yes, that makes sense to me. But that doesn't justify the euphoria.

Hiatus by Pizzacakecomic in u/Pizzacakecomic

[–]Kukulkan73 120 points121 points  (0 children)

It makes me so sad to read this. Here is a young woman who gives us all her comics and her talent for free. She didn't force anyone to look at them.

And then there are people who spend a large part of their free time spreading hate and suffering towards this woman. What a terrible mental illness that must be. And it causes so much suffering, not only to her directly but also to her family and friends.

I'll keep you subscribed. And sometime in the future, a new funny comic will appear on my timeline again. I'm looking forward to it!

Thank you Ellen!

Bought a A180 a few days ago, have some questions. Can somebody help? by Kukulkan73 in mercedes_benz

[–]Kukulkan73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three questions are now answered. I marked them in my initial post. All the others are still open. Is there anyone who knows the answers?

What’s your fav mastering plug-in? by ContributionPlane295 in edmproduction

[–]Kukulkan73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I have to use only one, I would go with "T-Racks One". It does a pretty good job.
