they've inspected the office.

and they've come to inspect a flat in my building.

very nice, but quite persistent people.

iliekcomputers: you here?

seems not. but we know he's listening to music.

LB as a stalking tool. lol

Yeah. some days ago, all of us were listening to music at the same time

how are you?

good. finally working on LB and not other BS. :)

ruaok: I've noticed something with the player: the end-of-song detection is working too well, and it's skipping song. That is, if you let a song play till the end. If you skip it, everythign works fine.

ruaok: what in lb?

Mr_Monkey: I noticed that.

and the time sort order is inversed.

pristine--: improving the spotify account linking verbiage.

ruaok: oh. great. I am done with the temp files, now trying to store data in hdfs,but got stuck up. you know anything about _SUCCESS files and part-00000 files?

sadly, no.

time sort inverted ruaok ? I think the username sort is inverted but time is fine. otherwise we'll have different time sort between my listens/recent on one side and follow on the other

I mean i know their purpose, but i am not sure if they should be copied or not, i guess i will do a test run without them

didn't we say that new listens were to be added at the bottom of the list?

for that sort order must be oldest->newest.

iliekcomputers: when you're around, ping me please.

Yeah, that's right. Damn. So on the follow page time sort = oldest->newest and on the other pages newest->oldest?

yes.

Will do this afternoon

I guess we have to figure out in which ways we wish to have consistency and in which not.

i think i got the catch.

yay!

thanks :)

Does someone have a good idea for something to make at a two day hackathon

😥

in what context?

music recommendation system

software only. music realted?

lol

Hackonhills tomorrow

:)

do you want to make something useful for LB?

ruaok: give me an idea too

for hackonhills

Not necessarily, but I and rsh7 have no idea yet.

are you hacking too, pristine-- ?

yup

iliekcomputers: the note about premium accounts is not clear.

it is only needed for listening?

not both?

ruaok: the feedback that I got was that it _should_ be at https://github.com/philtgun/acousticbrainz-server, but he wants to double-check, and there's no documentation

Imports work for non premium users

so if someone wants to take a dive into the diff, maybe we'll hit gold!

so academia, its painful. :)

thanks alastairp

pac23: ^^

iliekcomputers: but we're aiming to play 30s samples off the recent/follow pages too.

which does not require premium.

https://github.com/philtgun/acousticbrainz-serv... this looks promising

ruaok ?

pac23: ^^

the links above are the code repo we've been waiting for.

the scripts in similarity pluck the data from AB and choose the right features.

"waiting for..." (I linked to it a few days ago, and it's also in Appendex A of the thesis, so...)

:)

ah, sorry. I didn't see the link.

I only got confirmation today that this "should be the code"

did you read the description for the project, alastairp?

ruaok: I'm just back from lunch

doing that now

thx

alastairp: i wanted to clarify some doubts about the "statistics and data description" idea

pulkit6559: ok, cool. today is not a good time, maybe we could talk next week? You can also open a thread on the forums, or a ticket on jira if you want

saw it

thanks

so i will begin working out something now

great.

iliekcomputers: how about starting on a brainzplayer prototype with howler.js ?

pac23: do you have an idea about what you'll start working on? (transforming data, calculating similarity, ...)

to be honest alastairp i have only thought about optimizing it until know

Can you link me the brainzplayer doc again?

*now

i'd love to know more in details about the step wise goals

right, this is the beginning of the document that ruaok started work on. I'm going to add some more details and clarify some things about it

playing stuff that is on musicbrainz.org would be really nice.

*cough*tomahawk*ahem*

:)

or hatchet?

do you know the status of these projects?

alastairp i am gonna start a doc too for this matching project

[16:03] <ruaok> iliekcomputers: but we're aiming to play 30s samples off the recent/follow pages too.

really, what's the point of that?

well, jherskowitz works for spotify, leo spends all his time rockclimbing

I don't know about the others

my guess is "status: dead"

exactly.

CatQuest: to lure people in. to show them what is possible.

eh

this is less "drug business model" and "sexy person shows of some skin but oy uahve to pay to see everything" type imho

you don't even get a full hit

lololol

yes.

and it's not for us even, but for spotify (which, i guess is fine, but)

a little for us too. but yea, I agree with you.

:)

we just need more people to come and switch to LB.

phase 1.

hm

phase 2 - N: make things better.

ruaok: I'm editing the google docs document, but I know it's been moved to the wiki

saying you only get 30 sec plays on the "attach" link yo upsoed earlier (liek theo ne sayin to paly needs a premium) saying that for full tracks you need premium. that's be good imho

just collecting some thoughts

don't yell at me please

lol, ok.

here https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/xAKDa...

"(to play full tracks requires premium account)" maybe

also "link my account to "*record* listens only"

not recording

I'm trying to simplify things.

and the having a premium account or not is just not very good in the buttons or links.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

out of interest, is the "play music only" a strong usecase that you want to promote?

not really, no.

but I thin it is a hook for getting people to dip their toes in before going whole hog.

right, sure

iliekcomputers: got the idea? :p

are you two learning towards doing something with music or not music?

you three, I suppose...

Not music 🥴

probably smart.

Of being obsessed

with music

are there any interesting prizes offered?

Brainz too

in the music hack days of the old era people would offer prizes for best use of their API.

one team, called themselves Team iPad.

they integreated APIs from anyone who offered an iPad.

in the end the whole team walked away with an ipad.

each with one.

woi

Best app using zulip api

I love the "diversity" image.

wtg that site covering up text button with moving wave :P
