I am over the mooooon! ☄️ The new opera film from @EEliasMerhige featuring @ninamcneely #jasminealbuquerque @micaela__tobin #sharonchohikim and brought into hyperspace by @strangelooptv is being unveiled at @OperaPhila Festival O22 Pᴏʟɪᴀ & Bʟᴀsᴛᴇᴍᴀ : a cosmic #opera

TiddlyWiki tried to fix this decades ago. Long before LLMs, non-technical users could learn TW to make high quality websites that last forever.

I am putting together a self-hosted newsletter. Dispatches flow in numbered Issues and aim to cover an assemblage of my recent music projects, performances, and upcoming engagements, with the occasional musing or announcement. gavingamboa.net/newsletter

The brain is what organizes your thoughts, its coherence with the heart especially. Get it together human beings.

ナチスドイツを逃れ1933年アメリカに亡命し48年に追放されたハンス・アイスラーと81年生まれのプエルトリコの俊英。LAの独立系ピアニストがふたりの作品を通して紡ぐ、移民と望郷をめぐる省察。#blkswnjukebox 【#2035】Gavin Gamboa - Negrón | Eisler gavingamboa.bandcamp.com/alb…

excited to see these 1000 album upload days keep happening weeks before the platform opens publicly economic democracy and shared ownership ftw

Beautiful

When Anthropic stopped training on books that were literally pirated, they managed to hit on the one way of buying books that means no money goes to authors: buying used books. They spent tens of millions of dollars buying used books from wholesalers, in batches of tens of thousands at a time. These were shipped to Illinois, scanned, and pulped. They called this Project Panama, using a codename because they didn’t want people to know they were doing it. (It ultimately came out through court documents.) Before alighting on this plan, they were discussing licensing from book publishers, which would have meant money going to authors. But then they came up with the used books plan, and stopped all licensing discussions. Anthropic uses their huge war chest to get all the books in the world (that’s their aim) - authors get nothing. IMO there are serious questions over whether this should be legal. Yes, they are buying the books. But you can’t just do anything you like with a book once you’ve bought it. You can’t scan it and sell it as an ebook, for instance. There are limits on what you can do with books you’ve bought, where what you would be doing would compete with the book’s rights holders. As Judge Chhabria said in Meta v Kadrey, LLMs will likely compete with the books they are trained on by flooding the market. And as Dario Amodei himself said in 2021, big AI companies centralizing profits by training on books without the authors getting paid is a real concern. Whatever your view of its legality, it’s pretty clear that it sucks for authors, letting Anthropic make money at their expense. Authors should get paid when their books are used to train AI, and should have the chance to say no to that training. Anthropic’s used books strategy gives them neither.

Entanglement uses a 1D quantum wave function (Schrödinger equation) to produce evolving waveforms for use in a dual polyphonic wavetable synthesizer.

The best advice you'll ever hear.

People talk about “natural rivers” like they’ve always looked this way. They haven’t. A few hundred years ago, huge stretches of North America were stair-stepped with beaver ponds… water held back across entire valleys, floods slowed, drought water stored in plain sight. Then the trapping era wiped most of them out. Many of the rivers we call natural today are actually post-beaver rivers, still adjusting to what disappeared.

Bitwig runs circles around Ableton and FL Studio in so many ways!

Wow, I've never seen the route up Everest in its entirety before. Watch this on a big screen. Also impressive that: - they could get a drone to that altitude - some people are willing to spend 2 months and $40-100k doing this

Just staggeringly good. Thank you for sharing this.

这个笔记软件太牛了！简单到不敢相信，还能这样玩！ TiddlyWiki不是一个普通笔记工具，而是一整套“个人维基系统”，被压缩进了一个HTML文件里。 TiddlyWiki默认就是一个单文件应用，你下载下来，就是一个可以离线打开、随时备份、随便复制的个人知识库。 不需要注册账号，不绑任何云服务，放U盘里、硬盘里、NAS里、网盘里都可以，十年后还在不在，取决于你自己有没有好好备份。 如果你有隐私焦虑，它甚至可以把整个知识库加密。 官方文档写得很直白：单文件模式下可以用AES 128位加密，全库内容变成加密字符串，打不开就是什么都看不到。 密码不会写在文件里，忘了就是彻底打不开，这种“残酷安全感”，一般商业笔记软件很少敢这么玩。 第二个厉害的地方，是它不是给“线性笔记”准备的，而是为“网络化思考”设计的。 TiddlyWiki里所有内容都是一个个小卡片，叫tiddler，可以像维基页面那样互相链接、打标签、交叉引用。 很多用户拿它来做Zettelkasten、个人Wiki、研究笔记，把想法织成网，而不是一篇篇孤立的长文。​​ 你在用Notion的时候，往往还是一个个页面、一个个数据库，再怎么链接，本质还是“文件夹思维”。 TiddlyWiki更像一整张知识地图，任何一个卡片都可以被多条路径抵达，特别适合做长期研究、写作素材库、学术笔记。​​ 第三，它几乎不挑环境，活得特别“顽强”。 只要有浏览器，它就能跑，不分系统、不分设备，连老电脑都可以当你的知识终端。​​ 很多人就是用“一个文件 一个浏览器”，跨Windows、macOS、Linux来回用，连软件都懒得装。​​ 而且它的玩法远不止“记笔记”这么简单。 有人把它改成个人博客，有人做成项目知识库，还有人做成完整的文档网站，主题、插件、宏都能自己折腾。 社区里甚至在讨论“Essential Editions”，帮新手直接选好几套常用场景的预配置版本，一上来就能当“现成系统”用。​ 和Notion、Obsidian、Roam这些比，它到底强在哪里？ 一个在Hacker News上的讨论说得很到位：Notion开箱即用、体验顺滑，但锁在云端，定价、策略、存续你都控制不了。​ TiddlyWiki相反，设置麻烦一些，编辑体验也没那么“现代”，但一旦搭好，就是一个完全由你掌舵的知识基地。 Obsidian是本地markdown 图谱视图，适合喜欢文件结构、又想要可视化图谱的人。​ TiddlyWiki则是“单文件HTML wiki式卡片”，更适合爱折腾、想要从底层定义自己知识系统的用户。 tiddlywiki.com/
