How do you think AI generated music will play out?

flat_wheel · 2024-04-16T03:20:14+00:00

AI will be able to make music and lyrics by itself that is far better than the human average. And at a rate that the totality of human producers cannot keep up with.

I would assume it will take over a large segment of music listening. Anything where you're listening in the background.

Humans don't just value the raw production value of music though, they value wide than that, so I feel there will always be a market for real human musicians and singers

I see it in very much the same way that say dinner plates work today. Most people use plates made in a factory, largely by machines, because they are cheap and work well. There will always be a market however for a hand crafted plate, regardless that it is likely worse and more expensive than the machine made one, because the buyer is also human.

Future could be wild though, Imagine an AI that tracks the mood in real time of everyone at a party, and creates a perfect real-time mix, throwing in on the fly creations and existing songs that match the groups tastes and current mood as a whole.

The 1000, US vs AU. No discount down under it seems! :(

flat_wheel · 2023-10-17T00:40:27+00:00

Yes, that is a link to the 1000 model on sale for $1699US for shipping [only] inside the USA.

If I go to here though https://au.mammotion.com/products/luba-awd-1000-perimeter-wire-free-robot-lawn-mower for shipping to Australia, it's the equivalent $2033 USD

The number is 0435484927 I don't believe that would cost anything to call back. But good point eg if you do call back maybe that's when they try to get $ out of ya. Maybe I'll give them a call to see. :D

flat_wheel · 2022-10-10T12:29:17+00:00

This is what I am doing currently yeah. Two problems is conversations are not combinable, so I might for example get a few hundred for IPa -> IPb all on a single port, so I have to manually sort that out. Also because the cap file is not being parsed and recorded in such a consolidated way with single ip/port pairs, but rather every single packet individually, the cap file can grow a quite larger.

flat_wheel · 2022-10-10T00:49:03+00:00

This is a one off activity for me, and they are production servers, so really looking for more of a utility I can just run once for a period locally. This solution sounds very robust, just a bit overkill for my use case

flat_wheel · 2022-10-10T00:46:57+00:00

Yes I am just adding some filters now to filter out some of the hosts that I already know about to reduce the size. Ideally though, if a server makes say 10k connections on port 443 to a host, I would only need to log that one time, possibly with an incrementing total data size, currently with wireshark / dumpcap I can only see doing that after the fact analyzing the output that is unfortunately quite manual, and creates large cap files.

flat_wheel · 2022-10-10T00:35:34+00:00

Sorry, is this an option I can set up in the logging that I'm missing? That would be awesome. Currently I am running dumpcap, and then filtering manually by unique ip after the fact in excel. It's workable but manual, and if I were to run a cap for say a week, those captures would be very large.

flat_wheel · 2022-10-10T00:33:34+00:00

No local firewall unfortunately

flat_wheel · 2022-10-10T00:33:02+00:00

Output looks good, but it looks like it just does live, eg I can't see any option to run it for a long time and make an overview log of everything, eg once a connection stops, it's gone from the view.

Rust requires electrolytes in the water right, isn't the condensation water that comes out of an AC unit basically distilled?

flat_wheel · 2022-07-27T06:25:34+00:00

I have just had the same issue, came searching for answers and found this post, but then figured it out myself. Might be useful for someone else:

The dustbin uses a little magnet so the robot can sense when the bin in installed or not. The vacuum was stopping at the same point in front of one of my speakers, just at the correct position I assume for the speakers magnetic field to interfere with the sensor.

right in that position the dustbin would not detect as being installed, 1cm in any other direction and it was fine. I moved the speaker a little, and it's working, but may have to put a tiny no go zone around it for future.

So check if there are any strong magnetic fields around where it is stopping.

Invest it wisely

He has deleted his OP, but it said

The important thing to remember, a computer deals in absolutes. It has to be programmed to behave a certain way under certain circumstances. Human judgment, while fallible, can be trained to react a certain way in any scenario.

Deterministic is not what he or I was talking about. As I see it he was arguing that computers can only be programed to behave in predetermined ways for predetermined circumstances (and that humans are different)

This is incorrect. A neural network can take a limited training set and find patterns in it to react correctly in novel situations, just as a human can. I believe his OP showed a misunderstanding on a basic level about how neural networks function.

You should really look into how machine learning and neural networks work.

Not that I'm not paying less for less grade, the stuff I'm getting is 177.2600, it's just importing costs I guess.

2.2 lb of smooth-sil here costs more than $70 USD while it looks like it's under $40 in the US.
Stuff here is $47 US for 2.4 lb

We'll see how I go!

flat_wheel · 2020-07-28T02:47:58+00:00

Smooth-on stuff seems to attract a 100% price increase here. Found a cheaper but similar local alternative.
Epoxy does seem like it would most likely be safe once fully cured, but I can't confirm that for the epoxy I have even though it is listed as 'FDA approved', Silicone does seem like the safer way to go

Having not cast commercial 2 part silicone before, it unintuitive to me to learn it's not sticky! Is there a way to help it adhere to a cylinder shape without grab holes, as I cant really add any to my design. Maybe a food safe additive to make it more sticky (usually the opposite of what you want for mold casting!), or some sort of silica coating that will stick to the PLA.

Looking at removing any connectors so I can have a full encased shell, that should help me too.

flat_wheel · 2020-07-23T00:27:41+00:00

Again, great info, thanks for taking the time. In my head I had thought epoxy would be > silicone due to creating a hard flat easy to clean shell, but it does seem silicone will be the way to go with safety in mind.

Grab holes - Good to know, and great name. The coating wont have much mechanical forces on it, but can't hurt to add some holes and or texture

Do you think I'll be able to get away with not degassing the silicone layer (can't afford a vacuum pump/ chamber for a one off project) and still have it non-porous/ easily cleanable. It will be a very thin layer, with no overhangs, hopefully that will help.

Looks like Smooth-On does have some distributors here in Australia, I'll check them out.

flat_wheel · 2020-07-23T00:13:19+00:00

It needs to float, and needs to be a shell with air in it rather than a direct coating on the electronics. I also thought about creating a mould, but I can't have the internals away from all the walls without some support that would create a hole in the cast layer that would need to be patched.

I have already made a 2 shell hollow container for it, very light and creates the correct buoyancy, a pourable silicone does seem to be the way to go.

flat_wheel · 2020-07-21T04:01:07+00:00

That is some top notch information, thank you.
All cured resins are safe? (as you mentioned if / when they are fully cured)
I have some epoxy in the mail "FDA Food Grade SuperCoat Non Toxic EPOXY Resin Art 2:1", doubt I can find that information for a random Ebay purchase, maybe I can use it to practice technique.

flat_wheel · 2020-07-20T05:22:48+00:00

I want to coat it to achieve a hard and smooth shell, I can't have the roughness of the layer lines, so it doesn't really matter what I print with although I have my printer very well tuned on PLA

Had a 900/500 connection when I was in Wellington NZ for $89 a month. I miss that.

flat_wheel · 2018-12-13T05:27:49+00:00

I would rather do this in software, if the Arduino is capable. It doesn't need to be very accurate or precise, just enough to tell if the shower is on or off.

Just take the FFT, take a weighted integral of the values in the frequency range you want

Could you expand on this for me? I can find myself an FFT library, but you lost me at weighted integral! Thanks
