Freesound, massive shared sounds library, turns 20 with talks and listening - CDM Create Digital Music Who says the internet is dead? Not Freesound, the massive, community-run, fully free and open library of sounds from birdsong to samples. This incredible repository turns 20 years old today, and they'...

A vital set of talks on the meaning of sound, technology for accessing it, and planning for the future of freesound -- including coping with the age of AI.

Happy 20th, freesound. The internet will never die.

Today is Freesound Day. 🌟 With a great programme, to visit or stream.

The event includes a talk about some of the inspirations behind Soundsystem for Silence, the immersive installation I co-create with Ricky van Broekhoven and Nikolai Gillissen (Myubio collective).

2. When booting a MacBook with an external screen plugged in, it first shows the login screen on the laptop screen. So you start typing in your password. But then, it suddenly activates your external monitor, and won't let you type for like 3-5 seconds. Annoying and a waste of time.

That being said, I still think a lot of essentials should be made public, or banned from commercial exploitation, as we have done with tap water in the Netherlands. And it would be good to produce 75% of all food within 500 square km. That would incentivize innovation and reduce neoliberalism.

Good points. It depends on implementation I think, could be done in new ways… but they’d probably still be cash-related. I think a cash UBI would definitely be best. Least bureaucratic. But it would still be based on the (dynamic) costs of those basic needs… (1/2)

The smallest apartment I had (rented) was my favourite one. In Amsterdam. Only two rooms (living-sleeping-kitchen & toilet-shower). Windows on both sides.

Not sure I understand what you mean, but my view on a UBI is that it could be fully in kind, AKA free food, healthcare, housing and public transport. Incl. basic equipment, heating etc. So all basics are free and not market driven.

Thank you! 😄

Lol this photo still making the rounds. I never expected the photo would go viral. A friend of mine asked if he could put it on Reddit (and 9GAG?) and it blew up very quickly!

Async (Paris Arc French flag) @0xasync No mom it's not a "messy pile of clothes on my chair" it's an L1 cache for fast random access to my frequently used clothes in O(1) time. It needs to be big to avoid expensive chache misses (looking in my closet). I NEED to be minimizing latency. This is important to me. Please.

Lol yup. But they’re still not clear. Vagueness is of course deliberate in business and politics.

Bernhard Hollinger shares new record ‘1987’ Berlin-based musician Bernhard Hollinger is an artist who's completely thrown out the rule book; a restless sonic explorer, he occupies a fascinating crossroads between jazz, electronic music, ambient...

4 These quantum patterns can also be formulas, algorithms. And in quantum computing they are trying to discover these algorithms. So far, only tiny bits of it have been discovered, hence quantum computers still hardly have any applications.

3 Transcending time and space does not mean that teleportation or time travel is possible. No, quantum teleportation isn’t normal teleportation. It rather means that there could be patterns that are universal, that are everywhere and anywhere (under certain conditions)…

2 This layer seems to have properties that transcend both time and space. Since we, humans, can only experience existence through time and space, things get illogical when we try to understand QM. Even our scientific instruments become (somewhat) counterintuitive in quantum science.

1 Quantum mechanics are the most fundamental layer of existence. The smallest parts and mechanisms…

She is funny.

My bad, I formulated it poorly, I meant more as in others besides Elon Musk. But yeah, it’s an interesting history.

How delusional can somebody be.

Then again, historically, there have been more right-wing proponents of a UBI. If nobody has to compete for housing, food, healthcare... – people can spend their money on other (useful or useless) things. That's why a UBI should always be combined with for example free education, social spaces, etc.

Yep…

The best solution would be to give everyone a basic income and take it from there….
