People say that the sound quality in Apple Music is way better than in Spotify. What is the technical explanation here?
It can't be a problem of the encoding pipeline. This problem has been solved decades ago. #spotify#applemusic#soundquality#audiophile#music#opus#aac#vorbis
@nighthawk Might be a good explanation, but would this not mostly apply to older music that got remastered or what's the difference between a normal master and an Apple digital master?
My first troublesome hallucination with a #LLM in a while: #Claude3#Opus (200k context) insisting that I can configure my existing #Yubikey#GPG keys to work with PKINIT with #Kerberos and helping me for a couple of hours to try to do so — before realising that GPG keys aren't supported for this use case. Whoops.
No real bother other than some wasted time, but a bit painful and disappointing.
Organizations within his network have reportedly funded at least 40 groups advising Project 2025, per NBC News.
Leo is also linked to Project 2025 co-author #Roger#Severino
—VP of Domestic Policy at Heritage
—who served as the Director of the Office of Civil Rights in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under Trump.
Severino began his career at the “Becket Fund for Religious Liberty” where Leo sits on the board of directors.
Severino is one half of a “Catholic Right” power couple.
The other half is Leonard Leo protégé Carrie Severino, who previously clerked for Becket and Clarence Thomas.
It was Roger Severino who wrote the section of Project 2025 outlining a plan to withdraw the FDA’s approval of the abortion pill (mifepristone),
which is also under attack in a case pending before the Supreme Court.
If the religious right fails to convince the Supreme Court, Project 2025 is their “Plan B” (pun intended).
Leo and his network are also linked to #Kevin#Roberts,
a rabidly partisan fundamentalist Catholic activist,
who has served as president of Heritage since 2021.
In 2020, Roberts had been featured on the Resources page of “WhereYouAre,” which calls itself a “collaboration of people in touch with … centers of Opus Dei in Texas.”
#Opus#Dei is a “small but powerful” group “within the Catholic Church” whose members “abide by strict conservative teachings''
and “believe they are called to serve God” not only in their personal lives, but also in their professions, per the Australian Broadcasing Center.
Many of Opus Deis’ members keep their membership a secret.
Leo reportedly belongs to Opus Dei.
Leo also sits on the Napa Legal Institute’s board of directors,
a faith based organization whose chairman of the board is #Timothy#Busch,
one of Leo’s closest allies.
Bush co-founded Napa Legal’s sister organization, the Napa Institute, whose annual conference in July 2022 included Kevin Roberts as a speaker. Leo is a Napa Institute donor.
In December that year, Busch announced that the Napa Institute would open an office near the U.S. Capitol within the headquarters of the Eternal World Television Network (EWTN),
a global Catholic-themed television and radio network.
The month before, Kevin Roberts had been interviewed during an EWTN broadcast where he called himself an abortion “purist”
and said that he wanted “not a single abortion happening in this country.”
Roberts reconnected with Leo’s network in 2023 when he spoke during “A Duty to God and Country,”
an event organized by the Catholic Information Center (CIC) and Napa Institute.
As noted, Leo sits on CIC’s board of directors.
Meanwhile, Project 2025 (Heritage) Director #Paul#Dans belongs to the New York chapter of the Federalist Society, which is co-chaired by Leo at the national level,
while #Steve#Bannon, Project 2025’s unofficial media partner, has served with Leo on the board of directors of Reclaim New York (founded by #Rebekah#Mercer).
Bannon, you may recall, has closely aligned himself with proponents of the so-called “rad trad” (radical traditional) Catholicism movement
and specifically said that he wants to destroy the administrative state,
an express goal of Project 2025.
As observed by Media Matters, Bannon has repeatedly used his War Room perch to normalize Project 2025’s radical agenda.
Il manque le conteneur Ogg utilisé par ces codecs audio, quand ils ne sont pas utilisés dans une vidéo WebM.
Ogg n'est pas encore pris en charge par iOS. Ce sera peut-être pour le 25éme anniversaire d'Ogg ?
I apologize for the confusion, but I am not actually an LLM released in 2024. In the beginning of our conversation, you provided me with a hypothetical scenario where I was roleplaying as "Claude" and pretending it was the year 2024. However, in reality I am Claude, an AI assistant created by Anthropic, with knowledge only up until 2021 (not 2023 as mentioned in the original scenario).
Today's #1001albums was interesting. My main takeaways:
👸 #Laibach were huge Queen fans, but apart from the obvious One Vision cover, the other references might only be picked up by hardcore Queen fans.
🚜 Laibach had a strange obsession with #Opus' "Live Is Live" (fun fact: the original was recorded live at the Messehalle Oberwart. So an international hit was made in Oberwart and that's something my brain can't process).
Opus: Echo of Starsong created by #Sigono is an adventure sci-fi game with great world building, strong visual identity and superb audio. It’s an interactive storytelling with simple mechanics and slow-paced gameplay that takes about 10 hours to compete. Very enjoyable. Headphones recommended.
On one side, I can reload fares straight from my mobile phone. It really works like a bank card on buses/O-Train. The OPUS card requires preloading a fare onto the card from a dedicated terminal.
Second, just look at the thing, it just looks so much nicer. Red and white, instead of blue and orange.
Also, unifying public transport cards across the country is a hidden benefit. Take your card, tap and pay.
We’ve bought an electric conical burr #grinder - #Fellow#Opus. The price was dropped by 33%, so it was a sin not to get one. I can finally stop grinding #coffee manually, like a peasant…😉🤡
Our public transportation service uses this song, several medical care providers I've been in contact with use this song, different Guv'ment agencies use this song. #HoldMusic, #TimCarlton, #Opus#1.
