I'm struggling to understand where the gains are coming from. What is the intuition for why DiT training was so inefficient?

It sounds very similar to suno v3.5 (including the audio quality) Likely they trained on suno generations.

Flash attention natively supports packing multiple variable length sequences into a single call, what is the advantage of jagged flash attention?

Is this wrapping Suno? Not going to make an account with only generic marketing copy and no samples.

This is fascinating to me since I am getting vision corrective surgery soon, where could I learn more about this?

Super Intelligence would expand at near the speed of light, reaching us extremely fast. It would be unlikely for the window of time that we have telescopes and the window that the aliens are expanding towards us to overlap.

Show HN: Unitunes – Transfer, sync, and backup playlists on music services

platers — Tue, 17 May 2022 14:20:30 +0000

Hey HN!

I built unitunes to take control of my music. unitunes is a CLI tool that can transfer songs between services and keep playlists in sync. It is a free open source alternative to paid services such as Soundiiz and TuneMyMusic.

unitunes stores your playlists in plain text, allowing you to version control your music. Playlists can be pushed and pulled from streaming services. Tracks from one service can be searched on another.

Currently spotify, musicbrainz, and youtube music are supported. I hope to add support for all kinds of "services", such as local files, musescore, osu!, beatsaber, genius, or anywhere else music exists in some form.

I'm looking for collaborators to help add more services and improve the search algorithm!

I wonder if mathematics would have been pioneered in Asia if they had arabic numerals instead of abacuses.

Everyone on the paper is likely making at least 300k. And double that again for taxes, healthcare, and perks.

As a lower bound we now know a non artist can produce passable art in a few minutes. There is indeed a large practical difference between a few minutes and a few seconds, but I trust in the power of incremental progress.

Folding clothes is more of a robotics problem than an AI problem. Paralyzed people are just as intelligent as everyone else!

Shouldn't the sentence be flipped in that case? I see no reason why expensive human is needed or wouldn't give similar answers.
