The other night, I did some spontaneous DJing, no preparation, and tried out everything that came to my mind in the moment. Here are my notes on what I learned:

Where do you all keep your big* datasets when training on rented cloud GPUs? Ideally I'd want to mount them (streaming). Any tips? *100GB .. 1TB

This project is now live. An LLM-generated semantic map of all my tweets (@fronx & @fronxer). Read more about it here and look around for yourself: fronx.de/#cybird

I'm looking for methods of dimensionality reduction that are generative, i.e. where the reduced-dimensional space can be expanded to index parameters for generating potentially novel example data points. What do you recommend?

"Are we just atoms?," child me asked. I understand a bit better now why that was a hard question, and what it means to have answers, and what limits the use of answers in general. Let me know what you think: havealittlethink.com/2023/10…

And now there's multi-account support. E.g. @fronx and @fronxer can be analyzed together in the same semantic space. You can choose which account to put in the background (dark grey dots), which makes it easier to make comparisons.

Here's the same for my @fronx account. See that cluster in the top left? German tweeting!

Yesterday I felt like making a website with a background that felt "alive", which led to my first pair programming session with ChatGPT. Here's the result. (The vines react to mouse movements.) fronx.de

Reading code is a skill we don't talk about enough. How do you do it effectively, efficiently? Here's a metaphor youtu.be/B7lx2fATFtM

I'm thinking about creating an interactive musical space that allows for easy participation, altering parameters of a dynamic composition via phone-based interfaces (camera, touch). Are you aware of similar projects by other people that might be worth checking out?

A story of thought and being The pencil waits for the breath to finish and touches the page. The soft roughness of the surface confirms that contact was made. In sliding motions its journey gives rise to a trace, a space made of folds and waves and … havealittlethink.com/2022/10…

My least favorite thing about MIDI, or pitch-based sequencing in general, is its abstraction from the rich messiness of timbral-harmonic spaces & journeys that is at the heart of why I would choose one instrument over another, unique vocabularies beyond time-arranged pitches.

Here's something to consider for intentional communication: The level of confidence with which we express something is one of the most prominent elements of the message. It is part of the frame, the container, the background that all other meaning is received in relation to.

The gray season is upon us, to be followed by the dark season. That means I need to: - eat more - go on long walks more - go dancing occasionally, to feel the energy What's your winter program?

Had some fun making a lil beat this morning: on.soundcloud.com/wUZbkSrmcw… Not sure yet where to take it.

This is how I get ready for conversations with experts at work. It is also how I get new topics started and make sure to be a few steps ahead of newly assembled groups, which makes it easier to lead in the beginning. (The balance tends to shift eventually, which it should.)

People worry about the emergence of superintelligent AI, but we already have superintelligence in the form of corporations. They can do things no individual human could.
