I’ve been processing a lot of niche audio files often same tracks but trimmed in length - jdupe [1] worked really well.

Re:Show HN: Pyzam, Shazam for DJs and Mixtapes in Python on Wednesday April 24, 2024 @08:23AM (#40143524)
Hello, really glad to see project like this popping up. I have few questions as I was working on something similar few years ago:

1. I did some development myself for a "Track Discovery for Djs"[1] project in this space of "dj music recognition" and I am wondering how are you able to handle mixtapes and dj mixes when there is a significant element of sound manipulation/distortion applied, like pitch/tempo + various effects? In my tests this totally confused the algorithms which were not designed to handle such cases.

2. Can you share which algorithm have you implemented for this project? I did read most of the research papers in this space and my preferred solution was to build upon https://github.com/JorenSix/Panako which I did.

In the space of "minimal microhouse techno" type of genre where there are often similar rhythm patterns or even tracks build up using same sample packs it proved to be more difficult to have reliable results than not.

I was investigating how Spotify and other market leaders can do track recognition and they do train ML models on the same track which has applied 100+ various different effects...

Curious to hear your thoughts...

Re:Monitoring your logs is mostly a tarpit on Tuesday August 08, 2023 @04:08AM (#37045953)
You often create metrics based on logs indicating certain events, not much progress here in that approach
The key is this:

While you browse various job boards if there is no direct contact to a person or the email / phone is obfuscate, just find contact details online.

I often pay for various services that can give you contact details based on linkedin profile - give them a call and most often then not you will have interview shortly after.

Do the work to reach out to those people, establish rapport and you will be in a good place. If you are great professional they will make sure to keep you on their roster as an ACE candidate.

Excellent write up! Thank you for sharing. From myself I may add that a lot of information out there on the internet will get you into trouble and is purely wrong. NomadList is good.
I’m using “mega” for 20TB of media storage, they are sluggish with large amount of files so cli is very much of help.

For personal documents I backup into mega separate folder copy of iCloud Drive directory on each device - de duplication handles everything.

Show HN: Underground Music Discovery for DJs and Ravers

https://rominimal.club/

Over the years of being a DJ, playing and digging music, I’ve experienced a lot of sounds that create certain feelings. This process of discovering music always took a lot of time and recently I’ve found myself with a lot of material that I did not have time to get into, but wanted to discover in an aesthetically pleasing way.Which is - tracks perfectly mixed together. So, I’ve created a little...

I’ve moved my mobile number to voip using https://www.aa.net.uk/voice-and-mobile/number-porting/mobile... and receive all text messages via mail. Use it for call forwarding when I’m abroad to avoid roaming charges, also sim swap attack seems less possible?

Telegram is miles ahead in terms of scalability and features that makes it fun to use and work with their API. Kudos to the engineering team for creating such a great product. Imagine you can have groups up to 200 000 people, post files up to 2GB, have options to share your screen with unlimited amount of users - both desktop and mobile. Its really good. Yes if you need secrecy you may look elsewhere.

If you want to be „close” to AWS but still save money, try spinning lightsail instances that act as media proxies, similarly with other more resource generous providers. You could shift majority of media traffic off AWS and keep the “signalling” just there.

Hetzner small cloud instances mentioned are insanely performant. They don’t seem to limit small instances like other cloud providers do. So you can do around 160MiB / s of disk writes and 1gbit network, for $2.5/month.
