I think we'll have to default to inner circle evaluation for starters, maybe ask people in the channel.
ruaok
I've not gotten beyond that.
Mr_Monkey
But definitely some playlist-wide feedback is needed
iliekcomputers
can we build in feedback into the player
shivam-kapila
Like the track?
ruaok
iliekcomputers: that would be good. yes.
iliekcomputers
like keep track of what songs get skipped, replayed etc etc
Mr_Monkey
Well, once the functionnality is part of LB it makes sense. Before that, harder.
ruaok
shivam-kapila: that too -- that can be a filter in the toolkit.
iliekcomputers
or just user +1 or something
alastairp
there's also automatic evaluation - most of these tasks that come up as challenges work in terms of knowing the "correct" answer and seeing how many items the algorithm gets
Mr_Monkey
How do we tie a listening session to a playlist?
alastairp
this is easy to generate, and easy to test
shivam-kapila
iliekcomputers: To the player we can add the like and skip buttons like on spotify and associate the rating with ot
ruaok
Mr_Monkey: good question. I've thought about this.
not how to do it, but the need for it.
if I listen to a recommendation playlist, I want that to be saved in my stream of listens.
Mr_Monkey
If we want to tally feedback in any way it'll be required
So…generating a unique playlist ID?
ruaok
so that I can go back and re-listen to that playlist. something that discover weekly cannot do.
shivam-kapila
Eventually we should track the number of plays for a track -- Automatic rating kind of thing
Mr_Monkey
And a playlist itself could be an interesting data source
ruaok
Mr_Monkey: that is a interesting idea.
then we'll need to keep track of the created playlists, which might be tricky.
Mr_Monkey
Eek
ruaok
maybe we need playlistbrainz.
Mr_Monkey
Double eek
ruaok
enter playlist -> get MBID.
shivam-kapila
> maybe we need playlistbrainz.
JukeBrainz
ruaok
I think for now we will need to give playlists good names and store the good names with listens...
Mr_Monkey
A sort of playlist manifest?
ruaok
playlist IDs without any trail for a playlist only allows us to group tracks into a playlist, but nothing more.
let me have a think on this. having a central repo for playlists might be really interesting.

aight!
last week the focus was on preparing for the board meeting.
which we did have and we had a long discussion about how we should handle the current economic crisis.
we've had some customers leave already, but we're still in the black.
the consensus of the board was: we've saved enough money for just this emergency. let's use the funds to protect the team and hope we can weather the storm.
so, no changes to team, hosting, office or salaries for now -- we will revisit this in 3 months time.
however, Mr_Monkey will be spending 50% of his time helping with LB recommendation stuff, in an effort for LB to attract paying supporters.
BB is much further out than LB is on that front, and given that we need to expect to lose more supporters, this should be a clear priority.
alastairp too will have his priorities shuffled a bit to help out.
I hope to show of some initial work on this front tomorrow -- I spent most of the weekend hacking on this recommendation engine kit.
its been a lot of fun so far.
also, we will not have an in-person summit this year.
there is too much uncertainty around being able to travel - and to save money.
I'm brainstorming a bit on how an online summit could work.
might be kinda fun. :)
Mr_Monkey
😥

Can i go?
next
ruaok
I do wonder if we can create some nice summit t-shirts and spend money on those as a consolation.
shivam-kapila
(Oh summit -- I wanted to attend :( )
ruaok
also, the timescale migration is moving along, I'm testing test migrations right now. I'm working on removing duplicates from the DB. I hope to have something to show tomorrow.

Hey
Thanks
Last week I worked on merging develop.sh scripts, enabling show hide token functionality and worked a lil on CF front.
Excited for the recommendation toolkit.
fin!
Freso: go!
Freso

So I… looked into reported editors, bumped forum version, got an IRC host mask for shivam-kapila, and generally was around and about.

some interesting bugfixes last week
I worked on AB-420, which started as something to do with loaded datasets, but uncovered a whole bunch of unexpected assumptions about python2, unicode, and exceptions. most of that's cleared up now
Last week I worked on getting all the edit details converted et voila its done from my end. I got MBS-10396, MBS-10399 merged and MBS-10817, MBS-10816, MBS-10397 and MBS-10393 is Approved to be merged.
From now I’ll be moving on to looking for internship so I won’t be here for a couple of weeks / months. I guess this should be the last week I give the weeklies. Thanks. Great working with all.
Fin !
anyone else ?
