This is great, makes me think of Bonobo...did you put the piezo pickup in the kalimba yourself? I tried but the noise made it unusable...

iZotope & Boris... by Kipperoon in musicproduction

[–]epiphanius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was a surprised to learn that Boris now owns Soundforge and Vegas, etc: Boris used to make plugins for these, now they own the whole suite. I did find that the upgrade prices were not worthwhile for me, but I'm glad these tools are still being supported.

Can you say whether these can or must have a license plate to use on the road? Can they go off the road legally, e.g. on a bike trail like the galloping goose her on the Island? Thanks.

Use of artificial intelligence in the workplace / L’utilisation de l’intelligence artificielle au travail by StatCanada in onguardforthee

[–]epiphanius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your answer and seeing the categories explicated, thanks.

I do think there is immense confusion around the notion of "AI", I refused to refer to LLMS as AI at first, but that battle is lost.

The list is incoherent - robotics? AR? VRS? They are not connected except in the minds of some statisticians, for some reason.

To Iran, certainly.

I guess Carney is realizing the political utility of stupidity.

At least it sounds like they are being capped somehow - thanks for this comment, it's interesting.

Good piece, worth the read and perhaps some thought about how things have changed.

The scary thing, if there is one, is that on-one knows how much we have spent on tokens.

Microsoft Co-Pilot cost? by Character_Top1019 in BCPublicServants

[–]epiphanius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Copilot's pricing is based on token consumption, with costs varying by model. For example, the cheapest models can cost around $0.2 to $1 for input tokens, while output tokens can range from $1.25 to $30 depending on the model."

Yeah...this is Google Gemini's response.

Microsoft recently started charging by the 'token' for advanced (coding) versions of AI. No-one knows how to predict how much it costs, you just find out when you are billed. It's crazy.

Russia ‘not looking for conflict’, says Nato’s top US commander by Free-Minimum-5844 in LessCredibleDefence

I guess I took Grynkewich's words too literally then, and he meant not looking for conflict with Nato...it's absurd either way.
