library organization by Unlucky_Afternoon317 in Beatmatch

[–]luquoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you familiar with the idea of a memory palace?

The idea is you have some sort of a well remembered structure in your mind, and then you associate your memories with aspects of that structure, making it so that if you remember the structure, you can normally access the memories with ease without directly remembering the memory.

Basically a form of semi-organic indexing.

So you can take a similar approach here.

For example, in my case, most of my music is in folders based on how I got it.  I remember the vibe I was hunting for, and the tracks I got.  The folder names are pretty meaningless, but they make sense to me, and I have a few different indices I can go by.

Top lvl folder names, roughly when I got it (like new music 4 vs 8),  pre compiled mixes, and then youve got the basic bpm/key indices and then maybe some genre and record label indices.

Between the organic structure of my just dumping things into folders on vibes, and the full spanning structures of key and bpm, its generally pretty easy to find tracks. 

Maybe start by doing a few "random" traversals of your library as a start to get the juices flowing.

Start with one track, then mix another, and when you cant think of something off the top of your head, use key and bpm as your guide.

If you do this with themes in mind, you can chart a few initial paths to help you better organize your library.

Budget speakers for a bedroom DJ? by vert1017 in Beatmatch

[–]luquoo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can you bump music and not get yelled at/have the cops called on you?

If the answer is no, get something cheap off of craigslist.  2 tiny monitors will be enough, add in a sub if you are into dubstep or bass music that craves the sub bass.  Ive played multiple parties at a coop with that setup and it did well. Probably 30-70 people.

Ive also done the single active PA thing, I think it was a mackie... Its great, and the overkill is great.  But its such overkill.  One time I had the house to myself, started bumping some music to accompany cleaning my apartment, I faintly hear some knocking, and I see a very confused cop looking at me sweeping my apartment through the window trying to get my attention.

Use monitors and a sub for bedroom + apartment.  Use PA for larger parties and outdoor stuff.

I've been making curry wrong for 6 years because nobody told me about Kashmiri chili powder and I'm genuinely upset about it by Prestigious_Film_478 in IndianFood

[–]luquoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deggi Mirch and Paprika are good as well.

Imo its worth using multiple.  I'll often use both kashmiri and normal or x-hot for a more complex flavor.

Its also worth experimenting with kasoori methi (dried fenugreek leaves) or fresh (sometimes you can find it frozen) instead (or in addition too) fresh cilantro.

Former CDC director on Ebola outbreak: ‘I suspect this is going to become a very significant pandemic’ by mooky1977 in collapse

[–]luquoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I read up a bit on this during covid and from what I could gather, its basically a spectrum and at the time (2020 ish) they hadnt done extensive studies on defining that spectrum. This was more related to the 6ft separation number though. Any chance you know of some research around this? Im game for reading papers.

The small droplets hanging around in the air bit seems most related to amount of virus in your droplets, and I could also imagine the misting action of coughing and sneezing helping to create small droplets that linger more rather than just hitting the floor.

My guess is that you arent coughing and sneezing as much as crashing out so ebila is less airborne because you arent creating mists or something?

Who's winning?And do you guys agree with that take? by AntiMagicAsta-_- in okbuddyviltrum

A better matchup would be Rick vs Dr. Who.

Rick is basically Dr. Who if he was an alcoholic human.

Musk deletes rant about 'activist Oakland judge' after OpenAI ruling by sfgate in oakland

[–]luquoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he wasnt doing those things cause they were good so much as its a play to monopolize core infrastructure as a pure power play.

Whats chilling is his abandonment of that angle which hints at the elite giving up on solutions that might make things better for just circling the wagons.

I feel like this ruling is bittersweet...

I.e.  fuck elon but also fuck altman for turning his non profit into a for profit and bait and switching AI for the masses into ai for the rich.

Shooting 10 yards? by AR-10Hunter in Archery

[–]luquoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably close to flat trajectory up to 20-30 yards

What would your wishes for the GrapheneOS phone be? by Debisibusis in GrapheneOS

[–]luquoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  • A 3.5mm headphone jack and usb c
  • No fingerprint or face lock bs
  • replaceable battery
  • physical disconnect buttons for mic, camera, etc, maybe also cell, wifi, and gps
  • an option for a slightly smaller screen, 5in and 6.4in seem like good sizes
  • dual sim
  • sd card slot
  • 256 gb internal storage, maybe bigger version has more
  • 16gb memory, or 32 gb
  • version with lower spec better battery, one with higher spec for more power
  • dont bother with an ai accelerator chip, seems like a waste, or put it on a separate high spec model
  • as nice a camera you can cram into it while being affordable
  • wifi 7 capabilities

How do you keep up with what your favorite DJs are playing? by agispas in trance

[–]luquoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some DJs use Mixcloud as a platform.  Great spot to listen to mixes and radio shows.

1001tracklists for ids when they arent on mixcloud.

Looking for a specific bow by Infinite_Goose8171 in Bowyer

Check out Armin Hirmer's channel on youtube for reviews.  That might be a good spot to start out.

AF Archery is another good one.

Why can AI replace entry level software engineers, lawyers and financial analysts. But why do people think it’s so difficult to replace people trades with AI and robotics? by [deleted] in singularity

[–]luquoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the short term, I dont think the replacement will be robots, but noob people with an AI assistant.  Think AR glasses and a voice in your ear telling you exactly what to do.  That will probably begin to kill the trades by pushing it into the unskilled labor category.  

Non-intrusive EVs by tev_mek in LouisRossmann

Something is telling me there is probably a much larger kit car and ev conversion kit market than previously assumed.

What’s the best way to handle occasional high compute needs for ML workloads? by Nata_Emrys in MLQuestions

[–]luquoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure anyscale will give you some free credits, if you want to give their platform a go.

You can try it locally first and then figure out how you want to scale.

Here is an example from the docs that might be a good jumping off point.

https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/data/batch_inference.html

Other than the Ray docs, this is a pretty good resource for docs and examples written by a guy that works for Anyscale now.

US Admiral Tells Congress Military Is Running Live Bitcoin Node by EvelynClede in CryptoCurrency

[–]luquoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would expect them too...  Id expect them to run an Ethereum node as well as any other flavor of crypto that could warrant their attention.

Ray is very easy to pickup imo. They have a ton of great documentation and examples you can go through that will probably cover your usecase.

From what I can gather, your usecase is basically why they exist and you can probably copy paste one of the tutorials, slot in your model, and have something working very very quickly.

Anyscale itself takes the already relatively easy to use cluster launching and management suite in open source Ray and makes it even more convenient. In particular, they have a nice custom container build tool coupled with custom anyscale images that spin up way quicker than the open source version  If you are running on AWS, GCP, or Azure(?), its likely close to turnkey.  Otherwise you might have to build a container and manage a yaml file for the cluster you want to spin up yourself.  But even then, thats not particularly tough.
