faq says:

"Audio-to-Sheet-Music: Upload or record audio, get accurate sheet music"

but the bot says:

"I can't process an MP3 for you right now, but I can totally help you generate some awesome classical piano sheet music! Just let me know if you'd like me to create some for you! "

Is this a future feature or is there another way I should be sending audio?


Repeat from Discord, but audio to sheets is still in the works. I have some text to update from a recent pivot.


First this is a very editorialized title, the original is:

"Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26220.7271 (Dev & Beta Channels)"

Secondly, they're preloading the executable resident in memory to accelerate click to open, similar to what Chrome Browser does on Windows (and websites when browsing)

I don't perceive this as "fixing bad performance, given explorer has never been slow to open for me, but rather further optimizing the experience.


The whole text regarding this reads:

"We’re exploring preloading File Explorer in the background to help improve File Explorer launch performance. This shouldn’t be visible to you, outside of File Explorer hopefully launching faster when you need to use it. If you have the change, if needed there is an option you can uncheck to disable this called “Enable window preloading for faster launch times” in File Explorer’s Folder Options, under View. Looking forward to your feedback! If you do encounter any issues, please file them in the Feedback Hub under Files Folders and Online Storage > File Explorer Performance, or Files Folders and Online Storage > File Explorer."


I would imagine the people complaining are also the first to mouth off empty platitudes like "empty ram is wasted ram" in any other context.


Apple aquires OpenAI, Sam Altman takes over for Tim Cook and brings Jony Ive back.


Then appoints the new SteveGPT model as Apple CEO?


And we can again enjoy horrible keyboards and gold watches.


Are you saying this like it's a good thing? Cause Altman is representative of everything wrong with SV.


and they make the iOrb


the most entertaining outcome is the most likely..


>This is why I switched to Android, just for Google now to pull the rug from under my feet again

1) You can continue to install unsigned APKs via adb with the upcoming update.

2) Signing APKs for sideloading requires a Google development account which is a one time fee of $25, no yearly fees.

So still a free sideloading option available, and if you want to avoid adb it is a one time cost that is 1/4 the annual rate on Apple.


I would call it "free developer experience" (using ADB), not "free sideloading".

If you want to send your app to a friend to download and install it directly on their phone (without using a computer with ADB), you need to be Google-approved and register your app first.


OP I was replying to presented his scenario of self developing an app he uses on his own personal device, my response was specifically in regards to that use case, not any hypothetical third party person.


I think you could use adb over tcp from a chroot in the phone itself? But that doesn't really make it easier from their standpoint, and this is just a step towards full lockdown which is coming.


1) Oh yes of course, here friend you just need a PC and the command line tools (unless soon you'll need to be a registered and VERIFIED developer) to install revanced or any open source app

2) Unless they decide to ban you (they can if you don't show any activity in the developer account for X months) and of course because you were verified you can't simply apply again and pay again, because you were banned!!!!


1) OP indicated his scenario was a self developed app he uses on his own personal device, not a hypothetical "friend". In terms of some unknown future scenario, speculative fear doesn't really provide anything in the ways of a constructive dialog.

2) In regards to inactive accounts, from Google's policy page:

>If you have never submitted an app for review and the account is more than one year old, it’s considered inactive.

>If you have apps, the account is considered inactive if it is more than one year old, all published apps have fewer than 1,000 combined lifetime installs, the required contact details are not verified, and you have not used Play Console in the last 180 days.

>Google sends warning emails at 60, 30, and 7 days before actual closure, allowing time to take corrective actions.

While you are correct that this would lose you access to the developer account, inactivity for a year and ignoring multiple warning messages over a 2 month period gives you an opportunity to weigh your options. It doesn't even require app updates, just activity in the Play console.


First they came for F-droid...


This is the obvious problem.


for sheets, Gemini exists already natively.

Alternatively, Perplexity Comet browser (or OpenAI Atlas) would presumably provide sidebar functionality to act within your spreadsheets.


I would really like Claude in there.


Perplexity's response to Reddit's lawsuit:

"Dear Reddit community,

You might’ve read Perplexity was named in a lawsuit filed by Reddit this morning. We know companies usually dodge questions during lawsuits, but we’d rather be up front.

Perplexity believes this is a sad example of what happens when public data becomes a big part of a public company’s business model.

Selling access to training data is an increasingly important revenue stream for Reddit, especially now that model makers are cutting back on deals with Reddit or walking away completely. (A trend Reddit has acknowledged in recent earnings reports).

So, why sue Perplexity? Our guess: it’s about a show of force in Reddit’s training data negotiations with Google and OpenAI. (Perplexity doesn’t train foundation models!)

Here’s where we push back. Reddit told the press we ignored them when they asked about licensing. Untrue. Whenever anyone asks us about content licensing, we explain that Perplexity, as an application-layer company, does not train AI models on content. Never has. So it is impossible for us to sign a license agreement to do so.

A year ago, after explaining this, Reddit insisted we pay anyway, despite lawfully accessing Reddit data. Bowing to strong arm tactics just isn’t how we do business.

What does Perplexity actually do with Reddit content? We summarize Reddit discussions, and we cite Reddit threads in answers, just like people share links to posts here all the time. Perplexity invented citations in AI for two reasons: so that you can verify the accuracy of the AI-generated answers, and so you can follow the citation to learn more and expand your journey of curiosity.

And that’s what people use Perplexity for: journeys of curiosity and learning. When they visit Reddit to read your content it’s because they want to read it, and they read more than they would have from a Google search.

Reddit changed its mind this week on whether they want Perplexity users to find your public content on their journeys of learning. Reddit thinks that’s their right. But it is the opposite of an open internet.

In any case, we won’t be extorted, and we won’t help Reddit extort Google, even if they’re our (huge) competitor. Perplexity will play fair, but we won’t cave. And we won’t let bigger companies use us in shell games.

We’re here to keep helping people pursue wisdom of any kind, cite our sources, and always have more questions than answers. Thanks for reading.

I wish they had told reddit to go fuck itself and taken that to court.

unlike the new york times lawsuit - where the platform owns their content and training is a gray area - reddit doesn't own shit. and if they insist otherwise - bye bye section 230 protections, no? they now retroactively own every post in r/jailbait and r/coontown.


Without gating AI scraper access, Reddit’s enterprise value based on only ad revenue is greatly diminished. If the AI folks impair Reddit’s economics through their maneuvers, that might not be so bad (as Reddit’s behavior of late has been “all this user generated content belongs to us to monetize as we see fit”).


The AI companies could just pull the content from Reddit mirrors like https://arctic-shift.photon-reddit.com/search/ and https://search.pullpush.io/. It's not difficult to scrape nor difficult to acquire archives of all Reddit posts and comments.


They would most likely use the browsers they offer users to scrap and stream the content back to an endpoint for ingest and processing as users browse Reddit, think Recap the Law extension for Pacer (which scrapes Pacer while a user browses it and ships the data to the Internet Archive) or ArchiveTeam’s Warrior VM. You can’t defend against scraping when every user browser, that looks like a human because it is a human, is a crawler node.

At least, this is how I would engineer a public browser operating as an adversarial distributed crawler network.


>the very first GenAI final footage to appear on screen

Didn't Netflix use "GenAI" for upscaling of old TV shows not that long ago:

https://futurism.com/netflix-ai-upscaling-old-shows-horrific


https://x.com/tyler__palmer/status/1941615907266232707

>reduce debt, responsible spending only

>modernize military with ai/robotics

>pro tech, accelerate to win in ai

>less regulation across board but especially in energy

>free speech

>pro natalist

>centrist policies everywhere else

Obviously that last catch all bullet is where things get complicated.


I don't have an X account, so all I can see is the tweet asking if those are the policy positions. Is there more context I'm missing?


OP was requesting details of the America party, at the time of writing that was the most detailed list confirmed by Elon Musk in that thread.

Herr is a Time article that provides a summary indicating Musk's confirmation.

https://time.com/7300282/elon-musk-new-political-party-ameri...

As the new party is in its infancy the details beyond that are limited, so it's the best roundup of what "for the 80%" in the middle would imply.

Looks like this was attempted prior as recent as 2022

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jul/27/forward-repu...

One caveat is that the intent of this party is not (initially?) to run a presidential candidate, but rather back individual Senators and Representatives.

>Backing a candidate for president is not out of the question, but the focus for the next 12 months is on the House and the Senate


The same "free speech" he uses for Twitter/X I presume. Which means "free speech for me but not for you".
