Small discovery is highly underrated. Reminds me of how earlier London taxi license required the "Knowledge" a deep understanding of routes and wayfinders.

The Microgrid Database is a data collection effort sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and maintained by ICF Inc. The database contains a comprehensive listing of microgrid installations throughout the country.

An important phenomenon responsible for dissipating energy in a channel is the hydraulic jump. A hydraulic jump occurs in a channel when shallow, high velocity (supercritical) water meets slower moving (subcritical) water.

Probably a relationship play more than anything see here from March when Squarespace wrote about migrating their analytics lake house to Google Cloud: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/data-analytics/square...

Really like this project. Curious to learn more about the embedding process. Can you describe the process of generating the unique description a bit more?

I used the Freesound.org api (https://freesound.org/help/developers/) to download a bunch of sounds to MongoDB. Specifically, I selected to include the ID, Name, Tags, Description, Previews, Images, and Analysis in the response. I then looped through all these sounds and combined the response info into a prompt for GPT Davinci, instructing it to create a descriptive paragraph about the sound. I combined Davinci's description with the Freesound.org descriptions and embedded it using Ada. I inserted the embeddings into Pinecone with the audio preview url and ID as metadata. Then I just embed the search query and compare it with the sound embeddings (Pinecone allows you to select what type of similarity, I used cosine) and return the 25 most similar sounds.

Fascinating.

What if instead of reading a sound library, you had a music generator on the backend? What might an integration look like if it used the existing samples for description, as input for a "more like this" kind of feature

Thanks for sharing this talk. Looks like Pranav is the founder of Two.ai: https://www.two.ai/about

Hugely important. Great win for all.

Maybe we will get it on Stadia?

That'd be really cool. I tried Stadia when I moved countries and before I had a TV or Xbox and was completely shocked at how good it was.

GeForce Now is so much better than Stadia these days. The input lag of Stadia is much worse in general, and on GeForce Now, you can get much higher graphics settings.

Really? I have worse input lag with GFN than with Stadia, in absolutely the same conditions ( mouse+keyboard on laptop over 5GHz WiFi). And I've had a few (2-3) crashes with GFN which have wiped out my unsynchronized progress ( so the whole session), which was a bummer.

Overall both work fine though.

Will never happen. Have to be approved by the board of governors of NBA.

NBA is pretty crypto friendly though... Have you heard of BNA Top Shot?

If anyone has the chance to visit Hampshire College they have her diary in the rare book collection. One of the most amazing visits to a library was when I got the chance to hold it and read it.
