My code looks for artist by GID. It keeps finding 2 artists for one track.

I can't believe that the same MP3 file should not return the same TRM every time. I think we may have a fairly important tagger bug here.
2004-01-09 00942, 2004
ruaok
rjmunro: its not a tagger bug.
2004-01-09 00952, 2004
ruaok
Its an unfortunate sideeffect of some TRMs.
2004-01-09 00957, 2004

TRM == black magic
2004-01-09 00904, 2004
rjmunro
But the linux tagger gives the same result every time?
2004-01-09 00906, 2004
ruaok
and black magic is not always deterministic.

Err, TRM tool, not tagger...

the tagger seems to have latched on to one trm now, but it's different from the linux one, and different from the one I submitted to the database earlier

regarding different guids for the same mp3, the only reason that should happen is that somebody else tagged something between the times you queried, and it matches the new track "better"
2004-01-09 00936, 2004
djce
1234. music. 12345678.
2004-01-09 00947, 2004

and rounding it out: trustno1. letmein.

heh "trustno1"
2004-01-09 00917, 2004

if you get that without a time space between queries, that _would_ be a bug =)

How many people use each one?
2004-01-09 00946, 2004

actually, less than 1% for all of those.

melange
at least now I know what my next password will be
2004-01-09 00958, 2004

" password" = 207 users, of 26161 total.
2004-01-09 00915, 2004
djce
I'm pretty surprised by that, actually.
2004-01-09 00923, 2004
djce
I thought it would have been nearer 10%
2004-01-09 00938, 2004
rjmunro
I think you need to add a "your password has expired, please change it" feature for everyone whose password is in the top 10.
2004-01-09 00948, 2004

:-) not a bad idea!

go figure

that makes me less worried now. :-)
2004-01-09 00941, 2004

after giving me the same one 20 times in a row
2004-01-09 00919, 2004

does it depend on which way the wind is blowing or something?

2004-01-09 00935, 2004

all I did when it changed was check another track's trm
2004-01-09 00943, 2004
melange
argh!
2004-01-09 00901, 2004

maybe we need a way to flag some songs as "generates useless trms"
2004-01-09 00948, 2004

and I thought it was deterministic... shows what I know.
2004-01-09 00940, 2004

melange: do you know anything about multidimensional pattern matching algorithms?
2004-01-09 00919, 2004

In this case 133 dimensions.

other than being a tongue twister, not the foggiest
2004-01-09 00935, 2004
ruaok guesses. sward_3 won't tell him.
2004-01-09 00959, 2004
ruaok
I could attempt to explain what is going on and what you're doing, but...
2004-01-09 00959, 2004
melange
I'm wondering .. it's pretty quiet for the first 25 seconds or so, and it's vbr, so it would be sampling at low bitrate ..
2004-01-09 00917, 2004
melange
and as the trm only cares about the first 30 seconds ..
2004-01-09 00921, 2004
ruaok
ARG!
2004-01-09 00931, 2004
ruaok
You're giving it nothing to work with.
2004-01-09 00951, 2004
melange
still, it managed to deal with a 9 second silent track consistently
2004-01-09 00954, 2004
ruaok
The less signficant the data in the first 30 seconds, the less reliable the TRM will be.
2004-01-09 00912, 2004
rjmunro
But it should be constant with the same data, shouldn't it?
2004-01-09 00920, 2004
melange
yes
2004-01-09 00946, 2004
ruaok
yes and no.
2004-01-09 00955, 2004
rjmunro
Can you add the feature to the tagger that tells the server that the TRM is wrong?
2004-01-09 00905, 2004
ruaok
Since there is so little significant data in this track the data values are likely to be small.
2004-01-09 00910, 2004
rjmunro
It would be good to see some stats on that.
2004-01-09 00914, 2004
ruaok
And windows and linux have different rounding errors.
2004-01-09 00935, 2004
ruaok
and the TRM algorithm will probably scale the small range of value to a large domain.
2004-01-09 00940, 2004
ruaok
er range.
2004-01-09 00914, 2004
ruaok
and thus the roundoff errors get exaggerated, which can account for different TRMs on different machines.
2004-01-09 00935, 2004
melange
at different times of the day
2004-01-09 00900, 2004
djce guesses CPU core temperature
2004-01-09 00905, 2004

2004-01-09 00922, 2004
melange
cosmic rays
2004-01-09 00927, 2004
ruaok
the lookup 'dataset' probably gets influenced by other sketchy tracks being looked up.
2004-01-09 00942, 2004
ruaok
and being inserted into the TRM system.
2004-01-09 00956, 2004
ruaok
So if you were the only person using it, you'd get more consistent results.
2004-01-09 00913, 2004
melange
hmm
2004-01-09 00927, 2004

I think "voodoo" was probably a good enough explanation

I wonder how you could determine if a track will produce TRMs like this that aren't useful?
2004-01-09 00946, 2004
melange
without running the TRM generator over it many times, that is
2004-01-09 00940, 2004
djce plays with more random SQL, and actually finds something interesting this time.
2004-01-09 00951, 2004
djce
I ran the "TRM collisions" report...
2004-01-09 00910, 2004
djce
the top TRM had 48 tracks and no lookups
2004-01-09 00921, 2004
djce
and of those 48, that's only over three artists
2004-01-09 00926, 2004
djce
and lots of different songs.
2004-01-09 00938, 2004
djce
So, I looked up which moderations those TRMs came from.
