Ørnesvingen Viewpoint
Thirty minutes earlier, we were plying the waters of Geirangerfjord. It's been one #zen moment after another.
It's blue skies with enough scattered clouds to keep the reflections at bay. Geirangerfjord is a UNESCO WH Site & one of the most spectacular fjords in Norway. #WaterWednesday #WaterfallWednesday

First Impressions, Haida Gwaii
Rugged. Wet. Remote. It is a journey from "everywhere", which is what has likely saved this gem. #SkySunday

So I have a website for publishing my demos/ideas/half written songs (https://songs.travisbriggs.com). This is not actually a post promoting that website.
Instead, I'm considering the idea that having 100 or so songs just sitting all the time on the shelf makes them go *stale*. No one ever listens to ANY of them. It's basically an archive.
Maybe instead, I could build some kind of "song of the week" website, where it takes each of those songs, that are already hosted there and already have metadata, and creates some kind of artificial scarcity around them.
Right on the top: "The last time this song was song of the week was June 12, 2021. It will be song of the week again on April 5, 2026".
"Last time, this song was played 0 times and received 0 comments. So far this week it has been played 0 times and received 0 comments".
I could probably just hardcode that last part .

@martin I love what Hugging Face is doing to democratize artificial intelligence through #opensource and #openscience. :) I also have concerns, however. Their documentation seems oddly silent about making sure one has the right to share data included in datasets (e.g. the person sharing is the author or has permission of anyone whose data is included). Numerous questions about this have gone unanswered in the huggingface forums, or have been met with hostility. The community seems to be a mix of academics (who have IRB protocols they already follow) and hackers who think all information should be free (presumably even my and your personal health details). I know you are no fan of #copyright and I have criticisms of it as well. I think the way forward is to have reasonable discussions about policies and standards as a community that respect #privacy and acknowledge the effort that goes into creating #originalcontent needed to feed the models.
