good luck ;)

ok, graphite & co is installed on tails, i'll prepare the switch

musicbrainz/picard#1199 (master - 5bccc3f : Philipp Wolfer): The build passed.

Change view : https://github.com/musicbrainz/picard/compare/5...

Build details : https://travis-ci.org/musicbrainz/picard/builds...

hmm. I want to do a bunch of searches (about 130k)

anyone have a recommendation on the best way to go about this?

go about what?

1/second is 30 hours, which is a little too long for me

I could set up my own server, but I don't know how long creating indexes will take

searches on MB?

overnight on a decent VM

yes, MB

I'll need more information before I can really help you.

what are you searching for?

recordings? releases?

recordings, filtered by artistid

perhaps a query directly to the database would be better

no

much slower.

ok

what sort of code infrastructure do you need to carry our your searches?

python + pymbngs

+ 1 data file in and 1 data file out

no postgres instances or large files to be copied?

no

1) build index on spike, since we have everything there we need. spike could do it in 4 hours if we're lucky. 6 on the outside.

2) give you an account on hobbes and access to the search servers at MB.

how many cores does it need?

1

well, 1.25

right. because I need spike for some high level computation

actually

I'm looking at this dataset again

it's not super great

I'm not sure I want to beat myself up making this work in the next few days

oh, he does have a better one

hmm

is there any chance I can ask you to help set up on spike?

+t

sure.

lol

DWNI says: Sure we can talk about bandwidth. Are you available to meet?

lol

true

oh, it won't work on hobbes

because it needs an entire copy of the MSD

thats why spike is perfect

"just a little input file" he said

ah, so can't do it *on* spike either, but on api would be OK

babar?

no, spike is fine

but I'll have to access it over the internet, because the only copy of MSD I have is at UPF

actually, I only need some metadata from that. I could do it in 2 steps, gather metadata from MSD and then copy it

OK. Spike it is, thanks

ruaok: I've just done 10% in an hour. I'm not going to be awake for more than 10 hours, therefore, I'm ok as-is using musicbrainz.org

woo!

that thing where ruaok works out he doesn't need to do any work

well, just undo what I started doing. :)

hmm. wait

190000

1900

should I take another nap?

that's 1%, isn't it :(

lol

sigh

let's set it up

recoding index building

+r

thanks!

alastairp: that was the issue https://github.com/metabrainz/acousticbrainz-se...

yeah

well, both have to be bytes (keys, and values)

it looks like in your system, the keys were, but you had to make the values bytes. In this one, I had to make them both bytes

ah

wtf is going on with internet here https://gist.github.com/gentlecat/56b1df85cd2d9...

cool. highlevel calculating for our new model :D

I mean, could have been done a week earlier, but hey

Gentlecat: time to find a new place to live. bad internet is never acceptable.

at least irccloud opens

github doesn't

alastairp: recording:Indexing 8500000...8519999 / 18423689 (46%)

university website too, which means no homework submissions for tomorrow

Cool

So, Thursday morning I grab the Aerobus to Plaça Catalunya, walk to Rob's, ring the bell?

ideally you'd let me know when you're on the bus.

do you have telegram?

the aerobus has wifi.

Okay, I can do that.

I hear that the BCN airport is now moving to free wifi for longer than 30 seconds or so.

that might be helpful.

and bitmap and Leftmost : you two have purchased your aerobus tickets already, right?

Yep.

good.

yeah

then GTFO from the airport. dont get cash, just go.

still need chocolate though...I think I'll stop at http://www.olivia-berlin.de/ since it's nearby

not that it is a bad airport, but the usual tourist rip off BS applies.

good plan. :)

bitmap: even then, popping into any supermarket and picking up a pile of milka will also do the trick. :)

there's a nice video on aerobus website which shows how to get to them

yeah, that's my backup plan :)

pretty easy to remember

that's helpful, thanks!

Are there places in town to do currency exchange, or am I better off just carrying an ATM/debit card (even if it is magnetic)?

it might take some time to go through customs

was pretty crowded when I arrived

Leftmost: just grab your ATM card.

go to a proper bank and get cash.

I can find one on the way to my house.
