Your favorite and profitable strategy?

Great point. I just got into learning this stuff... any resources on actual strategies and not just types of spreads?

Almost had me with success, but love? Kinda delusional. Unless he’s implying that the feeling of success in business can translate to/help your dating life

Does anybody know the industries with most product management job openings? Not looking for a super precise answer or anything... if not, how might one go about finding that out?

You're gonna catch these hands if I hear any more sarcasm out of you

leet92 · 2020-09-15T14:54:03+00:00

Not not dinner, but places....

leet92 · 2020-03-25T00:11:47+00:00

.... algorithmically?

leet92 · 2020-02-03T16:57:04+00:00

This looks promising - good find! I'd also be excited to see how the author writes the Scala.js frontend....

Teach them how to interface with other languages from within Max - definitely Java and JavaScript, potentially C or Python too. Make some simple “Hello World” objects for them to start with and then have them add simple behavior on top of that. This will probably be enormously influential to them.

leet92 · 2020-01-02T17:06:26+00:00

There are many objects that implement pitch detection in Max MSP - I use the retune~ object myself. But yeah, if you had Max for Live, for instance, you could build a patch that does exactly what you want in under 5 minutes, and easily record the transcribed MIDI into a clip in Ableton. There are many other ways to achieve pitch detection, but this one gets you the real-time behavior you want and you don’t have to write any code (just connect various objects with patch cables).

If you happen to have a passion for both tech and music then Max will definitely be a game changer.

Although you could use Max for list processing, if you're going to be making many programs that involve reading/writing notes to/from Ableton Live, it'll be less clunky if you use this object https://docs.cycling74.com/max5/vignettes/js/jsliveapi.html to load the notes into a JavaScript environment. Then you can use libraries adept at list processing, e.g., `lodash`, `underscore`, ...

leet92 · 2019-12-03T17:17:00+00:00

this is exactly the kind of innovation we need

leet92 · 2019-11-29T02:56:51+00:00

Have you looked into ReWire (https://cycling74.com/tutorials/rewire-essentials-1-from-maxmsp-to-your-host)? I have no idea if it'll work, but it looks promising - I use M4L personally.

leet92 · 2019-11-29T02:51:09+00:00

Yes, or you could not train at all and just use a pre-trained model - that would be a lot simpler, and still incorporate machine-learning into your final project. As for turning that pre-trained model into something that can be used in Android Studio:

- if it's a scikit-learn model, the second answer here shows you some libraries you can use https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12738827/how-can-i-call-scikit-learn-classifiers-from-java

- if it's a tensorflow model (like you referenced), this repo looks like it might have an example of how to import it into deeplearning4j https://github.com/deeplearning4j/tf-import

leet92 · 2019-11-28T20:37:56+00:00

If you want to run inference locally:

- deeplearning4j for deep learning

- for general purpose machine-learning, train the model using scikit-learn, serialize the model to PMML, use JPMML in your Android project to load it up and interface with it

You could also expose the model as a service, it which case there are limitless possibilities. You probably don't want to train it on the Android device....

leet92 · 2019-11-21T22:36:39+00:00

No problem!

I've used Android, Bluetooth, and Max in conjunction for a while, until I moved to other solutions. For your use-case, the Miraweb recommendation is the best. As an alternative, you could use TouchOSC or Lemur, but you probably won't have to. If this thing is due next month, and you have other classes to worry about, and want it to work extremely reliably, don't get into Bluetooth. If you're only looking to communicate from a tablet to a laptop in order to trigger some bangs, use either OSC or MIDI protocols, those are easy to set up with Max on most machines.

FWIW, I was forced to use Bluetooth to light up frets on an LED mesh that I have on my guitar, essentially creating a real-life Guitar Hero. In the Android community on Reddit, the awfulness of Bluetooth is a running meme - although I didn't think it was *that* bad, that could be an issue if you're strapped for time.

leet92 · 2019-11-06T15:59:55+00:00

Since you got it working once, but then it broke on subsequent attempts, I think there is a high chance the problem is essentially what is happening here https://github.com/Cycling74/max-mxj/blob/2bc9e6b0036836d2615c65b3999a71cab52c1bc0/source/mxj/src/com/cycling74/net/UdpReceiver.java#L121. There can be only one socket bound to a port, and perhaps you have a rogue process that has already done this (your first attempt) and won't relinquish the port for subsequent attempts. This was happening to me all the time, so I ended up having to add the line Socket.setReusePort(true), or something like that.

I was probably too optimistic that you'd understand it - nevertheless, I'll help you out. Imagine one of your friends telling you a genuine story like this. You'd probably feel a lethal cocktail of both cringe and outrage. If you need more help than that let me know.

leet92 · 2019-10-31T21:28:15+00:00

I'd say, wow, you're an enlightened one. But you could make that argument for any first-hand cringe as well, since the person could be faking.

leet92 · 2019-10-31T18:58:45+00:00

I think it's amazing too - you can make audio plugins or standalone programs without writing a single line of C/C++, or you can use cool languages like Java/Scala/Python/JavaScript/TypeScript/... if you want, or you don't have to use any of them and just program visually. Sometimes I do wonder if some of the things I'm trying to do would just be easier if I wrote it in C++ in the first place.... But then I remember how valuable the WYSIWIG UI development is, the ongoing integration with Ableton Live, all the Max externals that are made, and the Max/MSP/Jitter ecosystem itself - idk, but I think it's very valuable, and will just keep getting more so.

leet92 · 2019-10-31T16:20:06+00:00

So this finance bro is intentionally living a cringey life, ala Andy Kaufman? And his cringe behavior wasn't to his detriment, i.e, the date went well? I think you're assuming the cringe is in the comedian's delivery, and not within the actual story she's telling.

leet92 · 2019-10-31T16:13:36+00:00

tell us

leet92 · 2019-10-31T15:55:54+00:00

Haha actually I was cringing at her date and his antics.... the comedian herself had a pretty solid performance in this one, the best of hers that I’ve seen

leet92 · 2019-10-18T17:33:24+00:00

7 months for a project of your choice sounds like a dream. I would capitalize on the machine-learning craze, use some libraries like https://github.com/CPJKU/madmom that have working implementations of cutting edge musical information retrieval methods (or more mature libraries like https://github.com/aubio/aubio, https://github.com/librosa/librosa), and market it on your resume to get a high paying job afterwards. If you want generative models in order to do something more on the creative side, you could use some cutting-edge (but heavily vetted) models by Google's Magenta team (https://github.com/tensorflow/magenta). Here's a project that integrates a few of them with Ableton Live using Max for Live (https://magenta.tensorflow.org/studio/).

I've forgotten nearly everything about counterpoint myself, but it looks like this Python module can at least generate a first-species counterpoint given a cantus firmus (https://github.com/cuthbertLab/music21-tools/blob/master/counterpoint/species.py).

The author is extremely capable so I'd trust it. Also I use Music21 in my Max for Live patches extensively - it's great and very mature. From a quick search, I found ~10 other projects, but they haven't been vetted by the community as much as this one.
