Essay touches on an important point that I also discovered along my research journey; Much of the knowledge of experts is ineffable [0]. And so here's the problem with present "AI"…

Notable line: "framing the narrative around the technology is far more important than the technology itself" We're on the umpteenth cycle of this and we all seem very slow to learn…

You claim the exact opposite of what the author wrote. " the reason I wrote this book was that I became frustrated with myself... You write books to convince people of certain opin…

Thanks for these links. You're right, I think computer-vision "sight reading" is now a fairly done deal. Very impressive progress in the past 30 years.

For small values of "music"? Really, no. But tbh, neither have more advanced "AI" composition experiments I've encountered over the years, Markov models, linear predictive coding, …

This takes me back. 1990, building Boltzman machines and Perceptrons from arrays of void pointers to "neurons" in plain C. What did we use "AI" for back then? To guess the next not…

Spoiler: Security Awareness Special Interest Group. We spoke to the founder. Interesting inights about sales and community based trust networks.

You have "epistemic integrity'. I heard someone say "epistemic humility" the other day to mean fallibilism [0] and the conversation got interesting when we moved on to the subject …

As promised, here's an interview with Alt US Digital Service (AKA "We The Builders") with some eye opening talk about misuse of digital systems to harry and bully US citizens into …

I thought it was phase synchronous overlap add, but I just checked and now I'm not so sure. Has anyone got more details?

Never had the pleasure of a Sennheiser but when working in radio I got my hands on a lot of rack vocoders for doing branding, stings and idents. Funny how the number 9000 comes up …

...and billions of taxpayer dollars, hundreds of years of European science, standing on the shoulders of giants, thousands of years of Greek, Arabic and Far Eastern mathematics....…

I associate May 1 with getting mashed in Helsinki as for many years I spent it in Finland, with amazing parties in the park for Vappu [0] the Spring Festival. It's a celebration of…

My childhood was in the 1970s and 80s when the 'Troubles' [0] affected Britain, Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic. There were a dizzying number of factions, paramilitaries, v…

I like the arts metaphor and enjoy the writing style. Understanding "AI" as a component in an ecosystem of materials, tools, techniques, plans, abandoned attempts and final product…

The essence of the article is a topic of concern, but is expressed rather lightly in TFA. End runs around security happen at the edges. From the bottom; by undermining hardware, or…

Praise inefficiency! It actually seems a really useful garbage collection mechanism. And such a lame tool to abuse, if indeed the points made about "weaponising" it are accurate. I…

Very far from confirmed. I just finished reading [0,1] accounts of atmospheric heat anomalies being touted as a cause - alongside speculation about cyber-attacks. Something to reme…
