menemen , (edited ) to asklemmy in Greensleeves is almost 500 years old. I'm sure there were other very popular songs when it came out, but Greensleeves had to staying power to still be here. What do you think is today's Greensleeves?
@menemen@lemmy.world avatar

Imo Greensoeeves mostly endured because it can be perfectly whistled by everyone and still be played by professional musicians in a way that awes the audience.

This will probably not be th reason why current songs will stay arround. If society doesn’t break down, I assume that every popular melody, be it from the US, China or Lebanon, will stay around and get reused every ~30 years to grab some quick money.

some radiation produces proton emission, so maybe not all of them are that old

In theory, yes. I realize it probably won’t work, but it’s a momentary copy and paste, so it’s a low hanging fruit to give it a try, just in case it does work.

The terms of that license seem like a non-commercial AI would be just fine to use it, is that not intended?

IANAL, but I think its the citation stuff that would have to obeyed, which is far as I know bots today never give citation of where they’re modeling from when they post comments, so I’m hoping since they’re not citing they’d stop using.

I saw somebody else doing it, I figured it couldn’t hurt, one copy and paste and I’m done.

Typically the citation is included with the software, possibly linked from a site / service and/or included in their dataset repo (e.g. on huggingface.co)

CosmicCleric , (edited )
@CosmicCleric@lemmy.world avatar

True, but they still have to cite my name, and I’m not sure they’re going to name every person that they use every one of their comments to train their models from.

Granted it relies on them honoring the license, but still easy thing to try.

pennomi ,

I get the sentiment but wouldn’t you WANT an AI to be trained on your own words? That would make the AI more favorable to your points of view. By self-censoring you effectively let everyone else in the world decide the direction AI goes.

intensely_human , to asklemmy in Can I detect my SO's presence just by smell / pheromone ?

Yes. It is well established by both subjective experience and science that humans can identify other humans by scent.

It’s also established by science that even the subliminally-detected presence of non-unique chemicals will alter people’s behavior. People say that’s not a “pheromone” but I disagree.

GreyEyedGhost ,

Looks like you read the title and not the included text. You could find your SO in a crowd by smell alone? I don’t think so. Being able to identify your partner by smell if they’re standing in front of you, sure, I can buy that.

paddirn , to til in TIL Nokia has owned Bell Labs since 2016, and still does a lot of Telecom stuff

My Dad worked for Alcatel-Lucent when they got bought out by Nokia, which is when I found out it’s apparently pronounced “Noy-kia” and not “No-kia” like I thought it was for the longest (or else my Dad was just mispronouncing it). I’m sure there was some big changes he saw, but he pretty much worked from home the entire time, so it wasn’t a big transition that we saw, he just did the same old job, though I think they did move their actual offices from the East side of town to the North-west. He worked with them up until 2019 when he retired.

hemko ,

I’d think it’s obvious it’s not pronounced like an English word, since it’s Finnish brand named after a city in Finland…?

TheTetrapod ,

TIL Nokia isn’t Japanese.

Mycatiskai , to til in TIL that the white stuff that sometimes appears on chocolate is called "chocolate bloom".

This how I used to get free chocolate bars. When it was hot out the vending machine at my work would warm the chocolate bars causing them to bloom, Effem and complain about my Mars bars and they would send me a coupon for for each chocolate bars. I would do it every month to a different address.

LemmyKnowsBest ,

How’d you get a new mailing address every month?

I just used the work address and different unit number but it always came to the same place.this was 24 years ago so the didn’t have Google maps to check.
