I am over the mooooon! ☄️ The new opera film from @EEliasMerhige featuring @ninamcneely #jasminealbuquerque @micaela__tobin #sharonchohikim and brought into hyperspace by @strangelooptv is being unveiled at @OperaPhila Festival O22 Pᴏʟɪᴀ & Bʟᴀsᴛᴇᴍᴀ : a cosmic #opera

@IvanoktVan @VinciRSS TiddlyWiki tried to fix this decades ago. Long before LLMs, non-technical users could learn TW to make high quality websites that last forever.

I am putting together a self-hosted newsletter. Dispatches flow in numbered Issues and aim to cover an assemblage of my recent music projects, performances, and upcoming engagements, with the occasional musing or announcement. gavingamboa.net/newsletter

The brain is what organizes your thoughts, its coherence with the heart especially. Get it together human beings.

ナチスドイツを逃れ1933年アメリカに亡命し48年に追放されたハンス・アイスラーと81年生まれのプエルトリコの俊英。LAの独立系ピアニストがふたりの作品を通して紡ぐ、移民と望郷をめぐる省察。#blkswnjukebox 【#2035】Gavin Gamboa - Negrón | Eisler gavingamboa.bandcamp.com/album/negr-n-e…

excited to see these 1000 album upload days keep happening weeks before the platform opens publicly economic democracy and shared ownership ftw

Beautiful

@jzstern @catalogworks I appreciate everything that you made possible for artists, and for asserting new contexts of value and exchange around musical work.

after five remarkable years, immeasurable friendships // experiences & countless lessons, @catalogworks is coming to a close forever grateful to everyone who dreamed of a brighter world for music, wrote history w/ us, & helped make a small dent in how we cherish the sounds that move us we'll be open sourcing our code and turning the lights off on march 9th 🕊️ looking forward to building side projects, making music, & spending more time in meatspace — DMs open if you wanna jam heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this chapter of my life possible 💽💛

When Anthropic stopped training on books that were literally pirated, they managed to hit on the one way of buying books that means no money goes to authors: buying used books. They spent tens of millions of dollars buying used books from wholesalers, in batches of tens of thousands at a time. These were shipped to Illinois, scanned, and pulped. They called this Project Panama, using a codename because they didn’t want people to know they were doing it. (It ultimately came out through court documents.) Before alighting on this plan, they were discussing licensing from book publishers, which would have meant money going to authors. But then they came up with the used books plan, and stopped all licensing discussions. Anthropic uses their huge war chest to get all the books in the world (that’s their aim) - authors get nothing. IMO there are serious questions over whether this should be legal. Yes, they are buying the books. But you can’t just do anything you like with a book once you’ve bought it. You can’t scan it and sell it as an ebook, for instance. There are limits on what you can do with books you’ve bought, where what you would be doing would compete with the book’s rights holders. As Judge Chhabria said in Meta v Kadrey, LLMs will likely compete with the books they are trained on by flooding the market. And as Dario Amodei himself said in 2021, big AI companies centralizing profits by training on books without the authors getting paid is a real concern. Whatever your view of its legality, it’s pretty clear that it sucks for authors, letting Anthropic make money at their expense. Authors should get paid when their books are used to train AI, and should have the chance to say no to that training. Anthropic’s used books strategy gives them neither.

Entanglement uses a 1D quantum wave function (Schrödinger equation) to produce evolving waveforms for use in a dual polyphonic wavetable synthesizer.

The best advice you'll ever hear.

People talk about “natural rivers” like they’ve always looked this way. They haven’t. A few hundred years ago, huge stretches of North America were stair-stepped with beaver ponds… water held back across entire valleys, floods slowed, drought water stored in plain sight. Then the trapping era wiped most of them out. Many of the rivers we call natural today are actually post-beaver rivers, still adjusting to what disappeared.

@opiumhum been saying this since 2017

Bitwig runs circles around Ableton and FL Studio in so many ways!
