Considering that the goober on the right is Grummz, and the image on the left is a traditional Japanese illustration of a samurai, I’m going to go with: Yes
Me chowing down at the ““food”” table:
The short of it is that there was a Reddit poweruser named Unidan who had a background in bird science. Very popular, very often upvoted, tons of karma.
Unfortunately he was found to be vote manipulating on sockpuppets to elevate his content and downvote others, and IIRC this infamous jackdaw copypasta is the one that blew his cover.
He really got that dawg in him
Ohhhhh it got worse after expanding the preview 💀
It has an option for Android Backup Transport spoon…maybe?
That uses a similar approach to the wake word technology, but slightly differently applied.
I am not a computer or ML scientist but this is the gist of how it was explained to me:
Your smartphone will have a low-powered chip connect to your microphone when it is not in use/phone is idle to run a local AI model (this is how it works offline) that asks one thing: is this music or is it not music. Anyway, after that model decides it’s music, it wakes up the main CPU which looks up a snippet of that audio against a database of other audio snippets that correspond to popular/likely songs, and then it displays a song match.
To answer your questions about how it’s different:
the song id happens on a system level access, so it doesn’t go through the normal audio permission system, and thus wouldn’t trigger the microphone access notification.
because it is using a low-powered detection system rather than always having the microphone on, it can run with much less battery usage.
As I understand it, it’s a lot easier to tell if audio seems like it’s music than whether it’s a specific intelligible word that you may or may not be looking for, which you then have to process into language that’s linked to metadata, etc etc.
The initial size of the database is somewhat minor, as what is downloaded is a selection of audio patterns that the audio snippet is compared against. This database gets rotated over time, and the song id apps often also allow you to send your audio snippet to the online megadatabases (Apple’s music library/Google’s music library) for better protection, but overall the data transfer isn’t very noticeable. Searching for arbitrary hot words cannot be nearly as optimized as assistant activations or music detection, especially if it’s not built into the system.
And that’s about it…for now.
All of this is built on current knowledge of researchers analysing data traffic, OS functions, ML audio detection, mobile computation capabilities, and traditional mobile assistants. It’s possible that this may change radically in the near future, where arbitrary audio detection/collection somehow becomes much cheaper computationally, or generative AI makes it easy to extrapolate conversations from low quality audio snippets, or something else I don’t know yet.
Damn, I can’t believe such a legend is gone.
Banning the Internet Archive??? What on earth is happening over there???
Oh cool, another DRM on top of Origin to ruin my games
Why can’t you be more like Blizzard, EA? (Can’t believe I wrote that sentence)
Well, TF|2 just got a flurry of fixes and activity recently, so they seem to be eying the market for potential future titles
It’s a bit tiring that every single infringement on people’s rights to exist has to be combatted via 1A because the only thing that trumps dAsTaRdLy BeHaViOr In FrOnT oF cHiLdReN is free speech.
Is that literally the only framework US law sees? Can’t it be illegal for lawmakers to force their views on people because they’re hateful bigots?
FaceDeer stop being an inhuman techbro about ai for 5 minutes challenge
It technically has a seekbar, but it’s very hard to find and/or might be obscured by their capricious A/B randomized testing
Oh that’s gonna suuuuuuuck for me
I am the person who will cheese distance running in NMS by triangulating an objective and summoning my ship to it, and Starfield apparently says “lol nope motherfucker you’re walking”
Pigs are very nice creatures.
LEOs are boars, nasty things.
Well obviously not, because the front’s falling off.
It should have been built to hardcore rigorous software engineering standards.
None of this feels right, at all
Something sinister lives here
