JayDuggerOn the internet, no one knows if you cross your fingers while apologizing.10:04
thesnarkbut at some point, why would you?10:05
thesnarkyou don't *have* to be friends with anybody and usually manipulation is detectable with behavior rather than something simple like an apology10:05
JayDuggerApologize? or crossing fingers?10:06
thesnarkwhy would you cross your fingers?10:06
JayDuggerSometimes it makes the crow tastes bad when you have to eat it.10:06
kanzurecrossing your fingers makes you type faster, duh10:06
thesnarkheh10:06
JayDuggerha.10:07
thesnarkspeaking of manipulation....anybody know of good methods for prioritizing expenses in open source projects10:11
thesnarkas of now I have only seen argument megathreads where people attack each other10:11
thesnarkthere has to be a better way...10:11
kanzureyes, it's called "having someone who is responsible for the funds"10:12
thesnarkkanzure would you try to balance that responsibility with some kind of democratic process in which devs participate?10:13
andytoshithesnark: i would not, honestly10:13

kanzurethesnark: absolutely not10:13
andytoshithesnark: i've worked on open source projects where the lead dev privately emailed me, said "so we have this fund, i'm going to mail you a check"10:13
kanzurethesnark: if you make it about voting then developers get turned into political targets moreso10:14
andytoshiand aside from that private email i did not even know "this fund" existed. it worked very well, i guarantee with the devs on this project that there'd be constant arguing if we tried to be democratinc10:14
kanzurethesnark: it's better to just spend money however you see fit.10:14
kanzurethesnark: open-source is the commercial side of free software, after all. and in companies that's how it works.10:14
thesnarksure...project I'm with is a 501c3 though10:15
thesnarkI actually agree that democracy is not optimal10:15
kanzure501c3s are command-control hierarchies10:15
thesnarkhow to convince everybody else of that...10:15

paskymaaku, kanzure: just saw https://github.com/hlt-mt/TranscRater on ACL - supposed to be able to cleverly compare quality of several  ASR systems13:19
kanzureACL?13:19
pasky!g ACL Berlin 201613:20
chris_99maaku, did you have a looky at that CNN paper out of interest, i'm curious how that compares to ones where you do lots of preprocessing13:21
maakuchris_99: I did, and there's other similar work we were looking at too13:21
maakuwe're not going to be preprocessing the input at all, I think the science is pretty clear on that13:21
chris_99cool13:22
maakualthough for long-term storage I think beamforming & filtering makes a lot of sense, before compressing the audio stream13:22
maakuso I still have to figure out how to reconcile that13:22
chris_99are you gonna implement it through something like TensorFlow?13:23
kanzurei like keras a lot, which is compatible with both theano and tensorflow13:24
chris_99cool13:24
chris_99are you planning on using a GPU with a lot of RAM?13:26
kanzuremany gpu13:26
kanzurei think eleitl is our local resident infiniband supplier13:26
kanzurehe's probably been stockpiling that shit for years13:26
chris_99:) i think i saw an nvidia 16GB one, but it was like £1k :(13:26
chris_99oh nice13:26
maakulong term? a rack full of 1U servers each with 4x of these : https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2016/07/21/titan-x/13:27
maakushort term? MS Azure gpu instances are cheap and basically the same hardware class13:28
chris_99fancy13:29
paskyhmm why did you choose azure over aws?13:43
paskynever really looked at azure13:43
Reventlovazure is 4 years in the past compared to aws13:44
Reventlovthey're trying to bait people into using it by being compatible with a lot of stuff13:44
Reventlovbut the web administrations interface suck, are all over the place between old and new versions13:44
Reventlovdon't lose your time :|13:44
maakuReventlov: azure just added new gpu instances. look it up13:45
maakupasky: aws is crazy expensive for what they offer, their gpus are years out of date with small ram13:45
paskysorry for stupid questions, i'm on iodine; so they offer much better gpus for similar price?13:46
maakuhttps://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/azure-n-series-preview-availability/13:46
maakupasky: in a nutshell, yes13:46
maakucurrent generation, 12GB per gpu, local ssd, and cheaper than amazon13:47
maakuanyone looked at wavelets transforms for ASR?13:51
maakusomething like http://www.asel.udel.edu/icslp/cdrom/vol4/356/a356.pdf13:51
kanzuremaaku: i would also suggest asking in #swhack because they do stupid things with language13:52
maaku"The main advantage of scalograms (SCWT) over spectrograms (STFT) is that the former can preserve both the harmonic structure and the formant structure of the speech signal, resembling analysis performed by the human ear. In particular, sharp onset points can be identified from the scalogram. Due to these features, SCWT seems to have potential application in phoneme speech recognition"13:55
kanzureyeah after looking at a lot of spectrograms of human speech i'm not convinced anyone has actually looked at this data. it's visualy difficult to distinguish between similar-sounding words.13:56
kanzuremaaku: http://stevehanov.ca/wavelet/ see fancy diagram13:57
maakuThe last time I looked at ASR spectrograms my conclusion was "why aren't people using wavelets?!?!"13:58
kanzure"Why hasn't this been done before? The main reason is because it takes a LOT of space to store the sound. A 5 minute mp3 file recorded at 44100 samples per second will contain 13230000 samples. In the frequency domain, each complex sample takes 8 bytes. So each frequency band (line in the image) that you are interested in would take about 100MB. The resulting wavelet transform would take up 218 GB. Modern operating systems have blazing ...13:58
maakubut I haven't found much post-deep-learning insurgency references13:59
kanzure... fast disk access, so it's feasible to process these in a multi-gigabyte file. Or, if you are just interested in viewing the result and not reconstructing the original sound file, you can scale the image to whatever size you want."13:59
kanzurewavelet demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRqtZWIirCA13:59
maakuthat seems irrelvant..? store the file as standard compressed audio, and expand via wavelet transform prior to input into the neural net14:00

kanzureagreed, not sure why he is complaining about storage. perhaps the math takes forever too?14:01
Reventlovkanzure: Can i mention your name on swhack ?14:02
kanzureyep sure14:02
maakui'm pretty sure it doesn't. there are fast wavelet transforms (see jpeg2000 for example)14:02
kanzurealright then i revise my speculation to "maybe he's a moron"14:02
kanzure"I'd like to do it using the method described in the oblique projections paper, but I haven't had a chance to figure out the math. Apparently, this method is O(N), whereas the FFT method is O(Nlog(N)). If it were that fast, we wouldn't have to store it on disk at all It could just be recomputed on the fly whenever we need to display it."14:04

mgincan anyone explain why this headline is so derogatory to "humans" specifically? http://futurism.com/ai-saves-womans-life-by-identifying-her-disease-when-other-methods-humans-failed/18:34
mginwhy are they celebrating how humans "failed"? it's so weird and malevolent18:34
mginisn't the technological advancement a testament to the human mind and human innovation? why are they putting down humans?18:35
mginI really don't understand the motivation for saying something like that18:35
mginthoughts, anyone?18:39
mginthis is really bothering me18:39
-!- winsen_ [~winsen@unaffiliated/winsen] has quit [Quit: Leaving]18:41
thesnarkmgin it is playing on the sensationalized idea of man vs machine18:42
thesnarkmgin basically more clicks18:42
mginwhat do you mean?18:42
thesnarkmore discussion = more clicks18:44
thesnarkmore clicks = more ad money18:44
thesnarkso naturally if they can write it in a sensationalized way to make it sound like a highly advanced AI did something that was impossible for a human, people will find this new and shocking18:44
thesnarkit's headline grabbing18:44
thesnarkhence the writing style18:44
mginI get that, but why would they think suggesting "humans failed" is a matter of sensation?18:44
thesnarkthe suggestion is that it did something better than humans could have18:45
maakumgin: because humans suck and need to die18:45
mginmaaku: that seems to be the implication, is that seriously a thing?18:50
thesnarkmgin, yes18:50
mginreally?18:51
kanzureget out18:53
maakufor a friendlier than it sounds definition of "die", yes absolutely18:53
mgincan you explain that?18:54
maakuthe title is just weak sensationalist editorializing however18:54
mginis there a link  you can send me?18:54
kanzurei strongly recommend not reading anything ever written by a journalist18:55
mginthat sounds extremely bizarre, I really want to know if this is a real thing19:00
maakumgin: what do you mean by "real thing"?19:01
mginif people actually hold this position19:01
mgindo people hold this position? is there a name for it? is there a manifesto or something written up to this end?19:02
maakuit is for example the obvious rationalist conclusion considering the risks humans put in the way of such nobel projects as making the universe intelligent19:03
thesnarkmgin, that people suck and are generally inferior to machines? I think kurzweil calls unmodified humans moshes19:03
thesnarkso something mosh discrimination or anti-mosh or something19:03
thesnarkit would be hate based on cognitive ability, ultimately19:05
thesnarkso whatever that is19:05
maakuthey also seem to do weird things like point nuclear weapons at each other for esoteric primate power dynamics reasons19:05
mginhuh?19:05
mginmaaku: you're just railing about humans doing dumb things. I'm asking if this is an actual position people hold, that "humans suck and need to die", i.e. is there a name for this position? is there a manifesto or something, an intellectual leader who's written about this?19:06
thesnarkmisanthropy would be humans suck and need to die but not because they are inferior to machines...hmmm19:06
mginthesnark: I don't see how advocating for enhancement is to say that "humans suck and are inferior to machines"19:06
Malvoliovoluntary human extinction movement?19:07
mginMalvolio: that's the only thing I know of to that end19:07
thesnarkmgin, hm? No it isn't19:07
saturn2antinatalism19:07
thesnarkthere we go19:07
maakumgin: leader? terminology? not that I know of19:07
maakuthe above ^ are technically slightly different but related19:08
mginsaturn2: but is this a scientific movement? that seems like something pretty obscure, not something responsible for this bizarre trend of people putting down humans as failures19:08
kanzurelet me know when i should start banning people19:09
thesnarklul19:09
mginthesnark: so that doesn't really answer the question, since the MOSH stuff is related to enhancement, not to denouncing humans per se19:09
thesnarkmgin no sorry I was just saying that perhaps machines hating humans would be called something along the lines of anti-mosh discrimination or something19:10
mginthat's not what I'm asking about at all19:10
thesnarkI think you're asking if there are really people who think in a derogatory way toward humans versus machines?19:12
mginyeah, that seems to be the implication, the putting down of humans as flawed/failures19:13
kanzuretake this somewhere else. and didn't i ban you?19:13
mginhuh? what's the matter?19:14
mginand no I haven't been banned19:15

nmz787_you guys are weird21:48
nmz787_s/guys/folks/21:48
nmz787_that mgin person seemed like they wanted a legitimate answer21:49
nmz787_I mean, clickbait was reasonable, but in general a more straight-forward way to nip-this-in-the-bud is to point out that AI is technology, technology is inherently human created21:50
nmz787_I mean, at least in a historical meaning pre-biology-is-technology slogans21:51
nmz787_a more reasonable response just after:  "18:45 < maaku> mgin: because humans suck and need to die"  would have been something pointing to telomeres and shitty bugs in 'human code' which literally in a formal verification kind of sense means we MUST die, or at least the inverse of we haven't been able to prove a way NOT to die21:53
nmz787_thus leading in to scientific articles on cancer pathways, blah blah blha, CRISPR, yada yada, gut flora, epigenetics, etc...21:54
nmz787_"18:34 < mgin> can anyone explain why this headline is so derogatory to "humans" specifically?"   -- because humans are sick and tired of being sick and tired, and are crying out for advance, are are just cynical and self-destructive21:56
