also tired of everything needing a google email or phone number and rejecting temp email services. huggingface let me use a temp email service to access deepseek but the deepseek website does not. this is less about muh heckin epic tinyman square questions than it is about having a simple free and anonymous source for using it

Q: Where can I run it online?
A: Any time you have a question sensitive enough to warrant an uncensored model, you have a question sensitive enough to only run it locally.

Q: How can I run it locally?
A: Wait for a smaller more capable model.

I haven't personally seen this phenomenon yet, only saw someone on fedi joke about it, but have there been ads targeted toward AI training web crawlers yet? Like something illegible to human users but specifically made so the LLM would do an ad read their products when prompted for something (optionally) related? Or since a lot of bourgoises have went full koolaid about AI, trying to market to the AI as a consumer demographic itself?

Anonymous 13-07-25 14:26:01 No.30533

What I’d like to add: I believe GrapheneOS has really become a kind of cult, and its followers can’t tolerate any factual criticism at all. The Kuketz forum is one such place. You absolutely mustn’t say anything negative about GrapheneOS there or you’ll be banned immediately. That’s also why I no longer trust Mike Kuketz’s “expertise.” His ideological blind spot on this topic is very obvious.

Where does the belief come from that GrapheneOS is the gold standard for privacy-friendly smartphone OSes? Simply because the developers claim it is. But without professional, truly independent audits, GrapheneOS isn’t any more trustworthy than the Braxphone.

It was a big mistake for Edward Snowden to publicly endorse GrapheneOS. People trust him, but in this case he actually has no idea and can’t objectively say whether GrapheneOS really lives up to its promises. Did Snowden review the code? As far as I know, he did not.

midi hardware and its socio-cultural consequences Anonymous 06-07-25 01:49:42 No.30482[Reply]

Remember when back in the day you had to have a so-called audio card that would allow your PC to fukken produce sound?

Pepperridge Farm remembers.

Most interestingly, depending on what hardware you had (ADLIB, SoundBlaster, GRAVIS, etc.) you would recieve a completely different end-user experience.

Compare these two:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dHechz7U0sE&pp=ygUWRGlzY3dvcmxkIHNvdW5kYmxhc3RlctIHCQn8AKO1ajebQw%3D%3D (from 38:10)
&
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jAHgpRitmHY&pp=ygUURGlzY3dvcmxkIG9zdCBzdHJlZXQ%3D

It is absolutely unique, to have to have 2-3 different (hardware) interpretations of composed (software) music.

I think there should be theoretical articles written about.the differing "gaming experiences" ppl had/recieved based on their fucking soundcards.

It is cery interesting (to me, at least( that 2 ppl could have played "the same game," yet their hardwares produced 2 different musics. In essence, we can't talk about a singular "gayme experience."

>This is pretty limiting, especially if you want to make microtonal music
That doesn't apply to pitch.
< MIDI pitch bend messages have a precision of 14 bits, which translates to 16,384 possible values (0-16383). The typical default range is +/- 2 semitones, but this can be adjusted. The center point of the range is usually 8192, with values below representing a bend down and values above representing a bend up.

<http://microtonal-synthesis.com/MIDItuning.html
<The MIDI Tuning Standard was ratified by the MIDI Manufacturers' Association in January 1992. Credit should be given to Robert Rich and Carter Scholz who wrote and lobbied for this addition to the MIDI specification. Manufacturers have the option of supporting the tuning standard partially or in full. It is featured on some Emu and Ensoniq instruments. Currently they implement only the non-realtime features of the standard.

>The frequency data format allows for the precise notation of frequencies that differ from equal temperament.

>"Frequency data shall be defined in [units] which are fractions of a semitone. The frequency range starts at MIDI note 0, C = 8.1758 Hz, and extends above MIDI note 127, G = 12543.854 Hz. The first byte of the frequency data word specifies the highest equal-tempered semitone not exceeding the frequency. The next two bytes (14 bits) specify the fraction of 100 cents above the semitone at which the frequency lies. Effective resolution = 100 cents / 214 = .0061 cents."[1]

>This higher resolution allows a logarithmic representation of pitch in which the semitone is divided into 1282 = 214 = 16384 parts, which means the octave is divided into 196608 (logarithmically) equal parts. These parts are exactly 100/16384 cents (approximately 0.0061 cents) in size, which is far below the threshold of human pitch perception and which therefore allows a very accurate representation of pitch.

meanwhile, in the autistic cringing replies of that video on soundfonts:
>this video is actively harmful to aspiring composers. if you go around spreading misinformation that soundfonts are "The Unsung Hero of Video Game Music Production", people who are new to composing and arranging music will rely on soundfonts way more than they should and will be unaware of music industry standards like kontakt libraries and other sampler formats that have way higher quality samples and additional features that aren't in the sf2 format. just because toby fox used soundfonts in undertale and deltarune doesn't mean they should be advertised as a primary instrument choice in vgm: not every indie game has to sound like undertale or snes games.
>off to an aggressive start but i really do not want anyone to repeat my mistake of searching for an "eastwest symphonic orchestra soundfont" because my brain was so brainwashed by soundfonts in 2016, the time when vgm community was taken by storm after undertale released, and vgm was synonymous with soundfonts. now with the recent resurgence of soundfonts I want people to be educated that soundfonts in vgm should not be a primary instrument of choice, but instead a backup instrument in case you don't have a desired sound from the kontakt/uvi/halion/etc libraries that you use (this does not apply if the soundtrack aims to be soundfont styled at it's core, but like I said not everyone should do that). the soundfont plague has already taken over the touhou community even though the creator of touhou has never ever used soundfonts; the first suggestion when you google "edirol sd-90" (a hardware rompler) is "soundfont" because people promote inaccurately sampled soundfonts too much instead of sharing a hypercanvas vst mod that replaces the samples with edirol sd series rom sounds, alongside that these people who are new to touhou vgm also don't know that the creator has moved on from the rompler to premium vsts and libraries for a while now and they make up 90% of his tracks, far from what's propagated on the internet as "sd90 soundfont" or god forbidPost too long.

Quantative Economics Study Group Glownonymous 21-07-25 16:27:57 No.30632[Reply]

This is an announcement of a study group for: https://quantecon.org/lectures/
These things often fail, but thought to give it a try anyway.

QuantEcon is a series of Jupyter notebooks covering topics of quantitative economics from Xiamen University.
It starts from the very basics of how to write a function in python and progresses to rather advanced mathematics (start at the start).
We might not be able to complete every part of this course, but we'd probably get something valuable from it regardless.
My background is in mathematics (largely forgotten) and some self-taught computer-science so might be able to help.

Was thinking perhaps two weeks or less to get through: https://python-programming.quantecon.org/intro.html
And then slowing down some after that as the course becomes more difficult, and more essential.

Well, the idea at the moment is to become a data analyst or programmer.
The former of these is a bit like being a more narrow computerized research assistant.
So the idea is to gain some skills that might be useful for work while using a dataset that's rich and inherently interesting to me.
That is if any of the over one hundred applications I've filled out give me an interview, let alone a job.
Learning numpy, and pandas then what has direct value, and on the side diving into some economics.

4get is a metasearch engine where you can choose what crawlers to search with and what (websites, images, news and music (only soundcloud currently). most of the instances have the basic google, yandex and "privacy respecting" bing frontend crawlers for images. up to date instances also have flickr and pinterest which i find very useful, some independent crawlers and stuff like knowyourmeme for memes and whatnot. you can also choose what country you're searching from, which solves the problem of garbage results when searching for local information or in other languages than english.
