    Kind of, Soundcloud has very aggressive copyright claims which is a problem for mixes.

    I'm confused, surely there's a contradiction between "piracy was so good, we had this panacea of completely open, free, infinite music" and "streaming is bad even though it's the s…

    I actually had a similar idea that I cam across in my own research in brain-to-video applications. You could theoretically train the model in real-time by using brain data as a rew…

    Anyone have a link or more info on the "mind reading startup" being referred to?

    I've been working on my own GAN for a while, trained on a few different datasets. Then the EEG data is fed into the GAN in real-time and used to interpolate within it's latent spac…

    Using a Muse EEG headset to read brain activity and use that to drive the output of a GAN. Similar to other projects that try to visualise or decode thoughts, but at the moment it'…

    Yeah you're right I didn't think that through, why would you charge a battery while discharging another, just use the energy directly.

    I'm sort of thinking out loud here but could you have two batteries running simultaneously but on opposite cycles, so while one is cooling the other is heating? Obviously it wouldn…

    I was also confused by this. I think you're right, but in the original text they specifically mention a 'static background' that they remove, so it's not just a simple 'wrong way r…

    I have very recently been setting up HA and various Hue products and tbh I'm quite disappointed in both. For one thing, the Hue bridge requiring an ethernet cable is mind-blowing t…

    I have been thinking about a similar idea for a few months - a location-focussed social media. But my idea is more like Instagram with an extra location layer. You have a 'local' f…

    Yesterday I was scraping NASA's SDO for images of the Sun, which I'll use to train a GAN to generate similar-looking images and video. This will be used in album artwork and audio-…
