Truely I don't understand why the biggest aspect of this problem is not talked out.

They are basically tempering with everyone's liberty to start a business on internet. Damaging US citizen capacity to create new internet opportunities and be able to compete with their favorites pets.

Why the f* are you talking about slow and fast lanes ? It is true, but most importantly is this passes on. Any service that would like to be taken seriously would have to pay his way in.

Why everybody has so gentle titles ? Fast / Slow lanes is very abstract.

Alright, that is an argument I give right.

Still, I see the work putted as an art, not only the result.

What I mean is that tools that allow re-generation without someone putting he heart into it would not result in art.

Dropping 200 pics and having a new one is no art.

If you iterate your self on how these mechanics goes on and create something with it with control and skill then that looks more like it.

But then, if you drop out an algorithm that does that, handle it to users,

would their results be art ?

Tools and way are more important than result. How you use them and how you create something original from it is the art process.

I guess it really depends on how you use this.

"What is the difference between creation and generation?" -> that one has already been answered under.

"What is the difference between me selecting the specific frame made by a generative algorithm and photographer picking a specific moment in time to capture a frame?" -> he captures life and tries to create a embodiment of something that already has a meaning for everybody. He can have multiple ways of underlining different aspects of the same thing. He has total control over How and Why. It is not only technical but it also communicates something in very different ways depending on the subject and how he took the picture.

"What's the difference between me using a generative algorithm and Michelangelo using assistants to paint the Sistine Chapel?" -> these are people not machine.

Dedicating our life to find a meaning trough work.

Get interested in some artists and what they have achieved.

A humble human being would never call it self an artist.

That's the first mistake, and it's philosophical rather than technical.

I would say the tool it self is rather an piece of art. Not what it creates.

"most creative endeavors often do involve CREATING many things" ; not generating them.

You've "selected" something you liked. You are no artist and should not call your self like that. If you do, you will never inspire "simple" people.

At least if you do it would become the MacDonald of art.

Do nothing, sit and say to the bot if it fits you or not.

You're even worse than a DJ. The DJ actually works his selection and works his transitions.

Sketches have been written out of artist mind. Not by some selection that fits you or not.

Art is work.

Depending on the usage you make, there are some cool applications. But then as you said you rework the material anyway to create your own thing.

At best it can inspire.

edit : thus the title should have been "rearranging sound with machine learning" ; it's not music nor art.

You are building a "smarter" arpegiator.

If you really want to build a tool used by producers then it would be required to be a VST in the first place.

But then I really doubt (as an amateur composer) than any artist could get anywhere with this.

How can I transmit my feelings trough a bunch of data i've no control over ?

Art is not putting up data until it brings up something "cool". It's the expression of mind. Miyazaki has a clear expression about the subject https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfxlgHBaxEU and I'm really deeply sadden that people doesn't get this before hand.

Try expressing feelings and stop using that word that has absolutely nothing to do with machine learning.

The very very very basic Idea of machine learning is at opposite with art.

These things have nothing to do together.

@bent or whoever from fuse team ; THIS is a great thing. Having a active slack channel with people that work on and with the tool is was a great deal for me learning other stuff. I will join you guys here :D

Fuse 9 years ago

I tried Fuse a while ago and even tough I didn't really got into it it was all very comfortable.

Lot of examples that look very promising really help to get into the main stuff quickly.

Tough, after learning React (preact actually) ; I'm wondering what it could help achieve more than going trough Native React. The last one is already well implemented and is "structured" like react, merging up some learning curve.

as Pier25 said earlier tough, trouble is when you need to implement "fancier" things. At which point you could have gotten into real native anyway.

It saves some time, but the pricing plans are ridiculous.

If you want to build a tool people want to use you need to build up something they'll like first.

I doubt anyone could be using it since more established tools are already been accepted by the community.

I will never pay you for a Visual Studio. I like coding with VIM or Subl, and I look after tools that I can use with a idiot text editor.

Hope you grow up from this :)

Cheers

The .feedback scam 9 years ago

Doesn't Trademark protect them ? I thought that a simple request could take down such domain names. (1000 buck per name if I recall)

Looks great on paper, will try it out for sure,

I wonder tough if these optimisation can be made in GO which of go's HttpServer you used (FastHttp is 10 x faster than standard one I heard)

Thanks for your work,

Would you consider build up on this and use it in production or do you switch up to other ideas ?

Learn how is composed a request, how to build it and how you read it. Iterate on architecture rather than on features. Try out all of them, take only what you need from them.

Check out and learn how to use Docker and the docker-composer ; Check Python & Ruby, choose to one you prefer. To me they are really great for database management (migrations) and administration; Lot of big websites use it in production.

Learn how to use a cache and understand why it is useful.

Check out GoLang and build your self a simple server. (Auth is great for a first approach of golang, i've been on it this week and everything is pretty much worked out by public libs) ;

Get back to SQL

There is AioHTTP as well if you're a bit curious but for early python and web developers this is a no-brainer, especially given that the "django" code-architecture (Note : Not Soft Arch..) is a kind of standard in python since everybody got to learn it someday.
