No point in going anywhere for its own sake. When there's a need to go somewhere, we'll try to get there. (But maybe with a different mode of travel.)

I'm not at all there yet, but this sort of thing is on my roadmap for my AI music project at tunesage.com ... That is, generating musical ideas while being conscious of phrase / melodic / thematic structure that a user can then play around with.

While LLMs (and ANNs in general) are definitely great for musical analysis (though still limited), I think they're likely overkill for the generation part, plus they tend to suffer from "creative collapse" as they prefer averages rather than exploration (which can be good or bad depending on what you want).

Just a letter from the pope, often about how Catholic teaching relates or applies to some modern issue. They present nothing new in terms of Catholic teaching itself, but, through the pope's authority, serve as important guidance for the faithful.

Perhaps better to redirect with further instructions... "No, let's consider some other approaches first"

Nice! I wanted to do this sort of thing when I was playing around with 3D game programming in the late 90s / early 2000s, to capture how a wider FOV looks in movies. Alas, computers were too slow and I was too inexperienced anyway.

I've always thought the basilar membrane was a fascinating piece of biological engineering. Whether or not the difference between its behavior vs FT really matters depends on the context. Audio processing on a computer, FFT is often great. Trying to understand / model human sound perception, particularly in relation to time, FFT has weaknesses.

True, I was rather pointing out that being able to parse symbolic language deterministically doesn't imply that we could then "reason" deterministically in general; the reasoning would still need to involve some level of stochasticism. Whether or not that's a problem in practice depends on specifics.

Problem is, even with symbolic logic, reasoning is not completely deterministic. Whether one can get to a set of given axioms from a given proposition is sometimes undecidable.

Hmmm... Nothing made me cry. I will diminish and go into the west.

Ha! Fun stuff. While some ideas are actually intriguing, many if its suggestions seem to be overly vague jumbles of common phrases and technology. "AI-powered databases to leverage personalized accessibility for team management..." Lol. Still fun though.

Some little audio examples would also be nice so visitors don't have to scroll through the video to hear them.

Still, awesome work!
