| A.I. music @falconquest I will argue until I'm blue in the face that AI is not a source of creativity equal to that of the consciousness of humans. Another perspective: We think of intelligence as an individual thing. But another way to look at it is a... | |
| A.I. music @mahgister Well articulated, and I share your pessimism... also, like you, optimistic in the long run, should we survive the short-term consequences of our actions. Read up on the Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter... this could be one of the de... | |

| A.I. music @hilde45 Be nice if we cured cancer with A.I., no? That’s in part what I’m working on. Caveat: for reasons too complex to go into here, my belief is that we will never completely cure cancer, because the same mechanisms that drive and optimiz... | |
| A.I. music @parker65310 @wsrrsw I’ve been in AI since the 1980’s, I’ve had the good fortune to have worked at some of the world’s best academic and commercial AI labs. I’ve seen a lot of where the field has gone in the last 40-some-odd years. When the In... | |

I have the Iris as well, and it's great, but I was curious about I2S ou... | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? @nyev And, one kid is playing games online and the other is FaceTiming friends in a marathon call. @wsrrsw Have you asked, bribed or manacled your kids and others to cease web activity during the sound downturn times? There is a much bet... | |

| Musical Expectation Bias @czarivey and that was done by MIT... Don’t they have larger priorities than fall on to being so useless? @mahgister you really MUST understand the reputation of MIT being an elite university for technologies and engineering. That particular ... | |
| Streamer software, what do you use? I have a repurposed Mac Mini, on which I have installed Ubuntu linux. It runs Roon + HQPlayer. HQP handles DSP as well as oversampling + noise shaping to feed a few NAA endpoints: a Holo Red streamer (junky stock software replaced with Ropieee) co... |
