These are the only pictures I have atm, but I could get more if needed.

A possible novel approach for training AI to invent
This was shower thinking and might not have academic ramifications.
We don't know how to define amazing progress in terms of what we know, so it's hard for us to imagine training an AI to invent things. People regularly say that AIs can not come up with new ideas, with a counterargument that humans can barely come up with new things that aren't just rearrangings of old things as well.
If you could logically place an AI at a point in history where we know a critical invention appeared and give it the info it needs to reproduce it (and no info about itself), knowing that we can define in those "world states" what "amazing progress" looked like, we could know when it successfully developed metallurgy, or plumbing and irrigation, or discovered the quaternion formula, or any other number of amazing advances in human research and development.
THAT is when you let it fly in the real world exposed to all of our math and science, because it has clearer goals.
Now, there's a caveat here, which is that it might only infer how to make "subpar" advances, because who knows what the opportunity cost was for humanity of developing metallurgy instead of super metallurgy. But I think having it analyze the progress "solution space" would lead us to a lot more than that eventually.
I could write a white paper on this instead of glossing over it but I think anybody who's anybody could take this high level concept and write a whitepaper on it anyhow.

I'm a solo dude working with the GNWT (so I have a good work reference and steady income) and I want to rent a place for myself so I can have some personal space. Ideally, it won't soak up half of my monthly income, but I'll take what I can get. I tried to join the Facebook YK Accommodations group but I didn't get approved.
Any ideas? Is it just "go through northview"? Maybe you happen to know someone looking to rent out a place at a reasonable price and just wants a steady no stress tenant? 🙂↕️

I'm using Reaper's high quality algos and plugins (elastique pro, reatune, etc) to process songs I analyze in Python and it's working awesome. I previously made a big writeup about what I'm doing that took most of an hour but I accidentally deleted it so I'm just posting this instead.
Long and short of it is:
- Im preprocessing the stems, tempos, beatmaps, and keys with Python (this isn't a python sub so I wont go into it, but feel free to ask if you have questions)
- Producing stable beatmaps from the inferred beats (postprocessing over places that don't have stable beat signals like drum-off sections etc)
- Outputting the inferred specs into Reaper with ReaScript's Python integration
- ReaScript then tells Reaper how to dial in the tracks as needed, with pitch changes, levels, beat-aligned stretch markers, formant shifting, and soon to be compressors, limiters etc
Previously I was using Python to process and render but Reaper's tools are a lot better inherently.
Now Reaper is letting me basically live mix the tracks and figure out what parts sound good together and/or output the project if I don't really feel like Im done with it. I also figure I'll be able to figure out the most crowded areas of the songs and duck one of the tracks in targeted places (time-wise or frequency-wise) to prevent it sounding muddy, but building the dynamic EQ system for this sounds like its own challenge.
I'll also soon be doing section classification and trying to do more interesting mixes but for now it's surprisingly robust even if it's just handling simpler cases of mashup where the songs naturally align well, re-instrumentaling hip hop, etc
Can't wait to enhance this even more! I want to experiment with automatic sidechaining once Ive upgraded the beat tracker to handle more cases and including 3 or more tracks.
Ill be honest with you I have no idea what to do with this, but I sure am building it. and while I was a little hesitant to offload too much of the work into Reaper from Python, since ReaScript works so well and it's that much faster and also allows me GUI outputs for troubleshooting instead of graphs... I don't really see why not.
