YouTube Music: in arrivo deejay virtuali gestiti dall'IA
YouTube Labs introdurrà una funzione denominata "Beyond the Beat" creando una esperienza simile alle radio tradizionali con deejay virtuali che faranno dei brevi commenti di intrattenimento tra una canzone e l'altra.
Il paradosso di coloro che sostengono che Charlie fosse un seminatore di odio, e che lo fanno seminando odio. Poi quando gli chiedi di citare una sola frase di istigazione all'odio, non avendo cosa dire, non possono far altro che rispondere con ancora più odio.Davvero deprimente che un uomo brillante e innocente, padre di famiglia e marito amato, sia stato ucciso per colpa di questi odiatori seriali incapaci di sostenere un dialogo civile.…
"Apple protects its customers from privacy threats, but not from Apple's own predatory, privacy-invasive, rent-extracting conduct. Apple also gets to unilaterally decide which scams are permitted on its platform and which ones are not, and they alone get to decide when to allow secret, pervasive surveillance of Apple customers.
Apple's threats are lies, but the privacy risks of interop are very real. It's entirely possible to plug something into a secure tool that renders it insecure. It's nice when companies test third party add-ons and warn their customers about defective or risky aftermarket mods, and to the extent that Apple does this, it's doing good work. But Apple has an irreconcilable conflict of interest when it comes to vetoing its customers' decisions about which non-Apple products they use. Apple has some genuinely stonking margins on its payment processing, repair, and other lines of business, and Apple's CEO has openly boasted about using deliberately engineered incompatibilities to drive people to switch to Apple products: (...) How do we get Apple to protect its customers' privacy without picking their pockets or invading their privacy? By removing the company's veto over who can make software and hardware that works with Apple's competing offerings. The ultimate decision about which products are too dangerous for Europeans to use can't be vested with Apple – instead, it should be vested with expert agencies working for democratically accountable governments."
one thing i gotta say i really appreciate web apps that take HATEOAS seriously, like such that every state has its own URL, even if it's a fragment (as you would expect for exclusively client-side states anyway)
Strudel's audio engine is SuperDough (2023) mostly by @froos, which is based on SuperDirt (2015) mostly by @julian, which is based on 'dirt' a sampler made by me and originally called 'datadirt' (2005), but very heavily based on MSG (2001) by @adeward
Some of MSG's features got lost in translation, like line hum (configurable 50Hz or 60Hz) and hiss, and a weird synth controlled by a four-character string, here's the docs for that:
>make [name] from [synthcode] speed [rate]Creates a new (or, if it already exists, modifies an existing) synth using the four-digit synthcode. The first digit defines the waveform: s for sine, t for triangle, q for square and r for random. The next three digits range from 0.0 (a) to 1.0 (z) and define, respectively, the pulse width, pulse amplitude, and waveform decay. Thus, using only four letters, any number of FM-like synthesis sounds can be generated. Here are a few examples: 'qaaa' - solid square 'qaaz' - sharp pulse (square with maximum decay) 'qmmz' - sharp pulse with 50% resonant pulse 'tilt' - triangular with sharpish edge synth 'slub' - smoothish sinusoidal waveform
Secondo il ministro #Nordio, nelle #carceri non c'è correlazione tra sovraffollamento e suicidi. E per dimostrarlo ospiterà dieci detenuti nel salotto di casa.
Un muro di droni, dopo il muro di Berlino. Il comun denominatore è la guerra fredda, ieri come oggi, che racconta di una contrapposizione che resta aspra, coinvolgendo ancora una volta i Paesi della cintura orientale della Nato e dell’Ue. E allora l’occidente si vede costretto a disegnare una strategia, anche perché
Doing an audit of the things running is good for the mind.
I've stood up things and played with them on and off over months to years but never really "used" them if you know what I mean.
All these extra things are cognitive load in maintenance and toil, even if automated. Turning and deleting unused services is good for the soul in a way. Ha.
oh, this is a good one! I myself have also tried to evaluate more often if I really need all those self hosted services and like to think about this regurlary.

No, it's definitely not utopian, but also talks about morality a lot, and it's just damn good sci-fi, with awesome characters, some queerness and even some polyam representation sprinkled on top.

My understanding of (the current version of) FEP-044f is that you cannot make something quotable without issuing individual approval stamps upon request. ActivityPub development frameworks may make this easier in the future, but for the time being it's a hassle for bot developers.
I'm advocating for a simple and static way to declare quotability here: socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/… but it'll take platform implementer buy-in and, following that, at least one Mastodon version bump.
Now that Mastodon 4.5 is out and we’re starting to see its quote post interactions with Mastodon >=4.4 and other ActivityPub platforms with non-FEP-044f quotes, a question has arisen for me. Mastodon 4.
Yes. The flow is (1) you declare a canQuote policy, (2) accounts who fit that policy get their quote post buttons unlocked, (3) if one of them clicks it, your server gets a QuoteRequest from that actor, (4) you respond with a bespoke QuoteAuthorization, which you need to host indefinitely – its presence allows third parties to verify that that specific quote was permitted by you.
@liaizon The schema pretty much follows from the requirements that individual quotes must be authorized by the quoted account, and that the authorization be (a) verifiable, and (b) revocable. Can't really accomplish that without some sort of publicly accessible certification.
In fact I quite like the concept. My only criticism is that there should be a way for implementers willing to give up revocability to give a blanket permission to reduce the complexity.
Help me, Social-Wan, you’re my only hope! I am trying to extend my ActivityBot server to support quote posts. I am 90% of the way there - but stuck on making the quoted post visible to other servers. The bot’s statuses can be quoted on Mastodon.
Sadly no, not really. The only idea I had was that it looked like you were quoting posts by your bot that were created before or around the time you were changing the interaction policy, and servers might have cached the posts with the old policy (and because the posts don't have an "updated" timestamp, a refetch might not trigger a local update). But that doesn't explain why the quotes work on mastodon.social, so that line of investigation feels like a dead end. And I see nothing else. 🤔
According to recent change logs, the Mastodon team has been fixing a number of small bugs around quote posts. If the error is on Mastodon's end and not yours, that could mean your quotes work on nightly versions (like mastodon.social runs), but not stable releases.
I don't see anything promising in github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p… though. PR 36195 contains stuff that could be relevant, but going by timestamps that should have all made it into 4.4.5, which I run.
