Musician Taryn Southern on composing her new album entirely with AI If you heard Taryn Southern’s new single “Break Free†on the radio, you’d probably just keep driving or grocery shopping, or doing whatever you do in places that still have radios playing. The song is a big, moody ballad — the kind that might play during the climax of a Steven Spielberg movie. “Break Free†wasn’t composed by a John Williams copycat, but by artificial intelligence. The song is not a fluke or a novelty for Southern either; she’s using artificial intelligence platforms to create an entire album, called I AM AI. It’s the first LP to be entirely composed and produced with AI. |

Just a thought; who gets the royalties? Don't take life too seriously, as you'll never come out of it alive! |

Arecibo Survives Irma. Something we (at least me) had not been thinking about. The Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico is still standing, and still seemingly intact, despite experiencing the wrath of powerful Hurricane Irma, which battered the island last night (Sept. 6). ![]() |

And I'm running short of food for dinner. You posted in another thread that the tire should be fixed tomorrow. I don't think either one of you shall be in danger of starvation until then. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." ![]() |

And I'm running short of food for dinner. Sorry. I thought you lived in a place where at least there is nearby convenience store. I usually walk to mine. Always have. |

And I'm running short of food for dinner. Vic does not have that luxury. He lives in a fairly remote area and has to travel some distance for most things. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." ![]() |

I usually walk to mine. Always have. I wish it was that easy for me. The nearest convenience store (petrol station) is 4.023 km away. The nearest grocery market is 8.046 km away. If a ambulance is needed. Pray and give them 20 to 30 minutes. ![]() ![]() |

Probably not. Which is why I let him know. I happen to be lucky in that respect. If my car goes down, I live within hiking distance of, among other things, a True Value hardware store, a Piggly Wiggly grocery store, a Shopko discount store with pharmacy, a Burger King, 3 gas stations, and both an Autozone and Oreilly auto parts store. And there is always Yellow Cab on call if I had to venture further. Meow. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." ![]() |

I usually walk to mine. Always have. Not being able to walk is a bummer for ever reason it is. Only two months ago my GF had to amputate her leg above the knee cap:( |

I used to live in a small city, in San Gabriel CA, a store was a block away, but that was in 1986, when I could walk a long ways.
Ouch :( Hope you check your blood sugar levels so you don't have diabetes 2. As for my GF who have it, it started with a small wound on her heel. That grow and soon she got gangrene... So check your feet often as well! |

UK Social Services would put you into Assisted Living accommodation as a very minimum., and you'd be a Blue Badge holder. If he wanted to, he would not be forced, if they had places, also my father refused a blue badge right up to his death. Please remember I asked for help for my father and UK Social Services were stretched to provide it. Then when I was desperate for full time help I was told it would be two to three weeks before he could even be assessed, by which time he was dead. |

Strange but if you convert 2.5 miles to km guess what the answer is 4.023 km I wonder if just by chance that is what he did as I do not suppose his car records the journey in km. |

Strange but if you convert 2.5 miles to km guess what the answer is When I studied at KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY that conversion is considered as an error. 2.500 miles = 4.023 km. 2.5 miles = 4.0 km. See the difference? If you cannot handle magnitudes and precision's then you are lost... Whatever:) |

hahahahahahaha. People that round up/down to sensible levels get moaned at for being imprecise. People that are precise get moaned at for being too specific. You really could not make it up :-) |

Hmm, maybe :-) I haven't been admonished for a lack of sensitivity or creating discontent, so my sense of humour remains intact :-) |
