<p>would you be so kind and<p>- link to both example<p>- briefly outline process of combining them for this usecase<p>- since this is API usage i suppose it's most likely not viable to obtain (reasonably) looped audio via user prompting (i.e. what's currently available in browser) - would that be correct ?</p>

<p>- no lyrics and no chorus- i mentioned ambience track - these are instrumental, often minimalistic they don't attract attention...<p>> Creating looping sections with Sunauto is generally not very difficult as the model is overly consistent when extending<p>the point is not consistent extension, but consistent extension (if any) <i>plus</i> starting audio<p>have you actually did this and got usable looped track ?</p>

<p>i've been occasionally trying to get some usable ambience tracks from these various models, but none of them seem to be able to produce looping tracks<p>based on results so far it also looks like more flexible approach to ai generation would be to generate set of stems/samples based on user description and let them to actually compose instead of producing complete audio (maybe this is already happening somewhere)<p>- in either case, properly looped tracks will be most likely necessary to be produced by these models at some point</p>

<p>moving troops to show decision/support is already not (well - just) diplomacy, though<p>otherwise yes - on all your points above, but the current rasha leader counted exactly on lack of all of those steps - similarly as before/after annexation of crimea<p>(and even after some limited physical display of western armed forces support would have happened that wouldn't have stopped him IMHO - this is based on extremely bad intel about overall mood towards invaders/occupiers of common ukrainians and his own mad delusion)</p>

<p>i was testing low disk space like situation on a Mac Mini used as small home network storage/server, maybe ~ 1o years ago (running maybe Yosemite at the time or something similar) out of curiosity - so Intel mac and pre-APFS system<p>not sure it this was OS or filesystem feature, but it refused to allocate literally <i>anything</i> if free space reached ~ 100-500MB on system partition so it was being kept _always_ usable, even logging was denied IIRC</p>

<p>it would be maybe interesting to know how was Lem thinking about the actual algorithmic process the machine uses while writing this:<p>- purely symbolic with myriads of symbolic (if-else) clauses similar to expert systems, or<p>- sub symbolical ANN networks similar to current LLMs<p>i suspect it was the former in which case that he actually arrived at description of current large NNs is really striking I think</p>
