>Song submission rules/guidelines
Upload the file somewhere, preferably in a lossless format, and post the link here. If you want to update your track, make a new post.
Include the song title in the post, and make it clear that your song is a submission for the album.
Optionally you may include cover art for your track, but please confirm that the image in your post is the cover art or it won't be included. You may not use your real artist name.
Songs that contain anything against YouTube's policies won't be uploaded on YT, but will still be added to the album.
By default, tracks will be normalised to -14 LUFS (integrated loudness) in the release. You may specify a lower loudness for your track.
Use of AI is banned. This includes AI generated stems, samples, and effects. "AI" includes all neural network-based models and not hard-coded automation/procedural generation. You are allowed to ask an LLM about music-related questions, but asking it to give you musical ideas (eg. generating a chord progression) is already a no-no.

Stop listening to music on portable devices. It is satanic. You should be playing music instead, as in with real instruments, and ideally with other people. If you absolutely 100% cannot play music, then a home theater setup for occasional listening is fine. But do not listen on portable devices.

There's a lot of options, depends on what you're looking for. The cheapest and smallest you can get with alright sound quality are those generic S1 MP3 players that were everywhere 15-20 years ago. Still sold new on Ebay with expandable memory slots. I have an older revision with only 128MB onboard which I still use. Just get rechargeable NIMH AAA cells and you're good. Or get a Walkman.

For audiophile autism there are even more options with bizarre sounding names. The newer ones are all as big as smartphones and run lobotomized android, but if you look around you can find older, more sensibly sized models. FIIO X1 is a nice looking one.

But if you go in fresh it doesn't assault you with garbage. And even after use it will still (mostly) pull from a recommendation algorithm that it thinks will keep you watching. If you don't click on crap it's a lot less likely to show you crap. Though how long that lasts is another question.

When did this algorithm shit take over, anyway? I've only ever used the subscriptions feed on youtube, and last time I had a twitter account (10+ years ago) it was common sense to just find people to follow and use the feed that actually shows every single one of their tweets sans replies.
But now apparently people use the slop feed (in both) that SOMETIMES shows shit from people you're subscribed to if it finds it worth showing to you specifically. How did it get to this point?

I have two external drives, one 20tb seagate HDD and one 2tb SDD that was scavenged from a laptop and put in housing. I want to preserve their data best I can. What is the easiest way to scrub the data to prevent bitrot/the data loss SSD is known for? Is there an application that makes it easy, or do I just have to do it with powershell?

Powershell or shell scripting is probably the easiest to maintain parity between 2 sets of data. But the crux of the problem is your source of truth is 1 drive. While magnetic media doesn't bitrot to the degree solid state does, it you want a minimum of protection from it you will need 4 drives.
If you have 1 drive, you loose
2 drives you can mirror, but you don't have a source of truth cause one drive can fail.
3 drives you will have a source of truth as long as all 3 keep working, when 1 fails though you can introduce bitrot while rebuilding.
4 drives will give you 100% protection assuming no more than 1 drive fails at a time, and more than 2 drives don't fail at the same time(that would cause array failure).

On top of that you need to run a copy on write file system, ZFS or BTRFS ideally in raidz2.

Last item to look into on your file storage system would be error correcting RAM. This will protect data in transit.

Why is /g/ so one-shotted by the 100% fallacy that they can't see the usefulness of AI?

Because it's not 100% perfect, AI is completely useless.

Are you all just so terrified of AI taking your jobs that you're stuck in a state of delusion, wishful thinking, and desperation?

as for diffusion models, i generally see them as worthless, they often have the uncanny valley effect or something akin to that and as such is seen as soulless, there's also copyright issues (which involve every creative aspect and even coding as code is often of a particular license i.e. gpl) and artist protests which are their own cans of worms.

I have a wav file given to me by a cousin some time before 2000. I do not remember where the wave file is from. A movie or TV show or what.

I cannot ask my cousin because he committed suicide several years ago.

It's about 3 sentences long with a cartoony spaceship sound effect in the background.

the voice is somewhat cartoony sounding.

googleing any quote from the file turns up only me.

So I decide to give AI a go at it.
upload the file to gemini cuz whatever.
ask it to identify the source.
With absolute certainty and confidence it tells me it's from a game called Destiny.

4 replies and 1 image omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>107839058
I bought top of the range bone conduction headphones about a decade ago and they didn't work as advertised at all. More like little speakers pointed at your ears, other people can hear them and if you hold them away from your head it doesn't change the sound quality at all. Doesn't seem like the tech has moved on since then. Unironically just get some buds with reverse ANC.

+Can hear everything else while listening to podcasts/music
+Lightweight
+Can use to talk to people over the phone hands free

+Does not require stuffing objects into your ear canal to listen as it relies positioning over the zygomatic bone

-Bass is almost non-existent, is more noticeable when wearing ear plugs

Only an idiot would not leverage using AI for problem solving as it's 100x faster than trying to scour the internet. While it might not provide exact answers to complex problems, that's where the user comes in and guides it to the answer. Lots of idiots do not know how to do the aforementioned task so that's where you have tons of retards like many in this thread who say "b-but it's wrong! it can't do anything!". You're just being a contrarian if you don't use it or maybe you don't need it because what you're doing is solved.

i read the book and was disappointed to find out that nedry actually had less character development than he does in the movie. his antagonist arc is almost nonexistant outside of a few comments he makes early on. he is always desribed as ugly, awkward, and dirty. he is never shown as competent despite supposedly being the mastermind behind the entire park systems. meanwhile his death is incredibly gruesome and the author does not hesitate to remind you he deserved to die. then he beomes an afterthought. you are expected to hate the character outright.

in the movie, he is more nuanced
