        riksucks: letting the user that made a recommendation to delete it should be sufficient for now methinks.

        allowing other users to hide those events from feed is a different feature imo.
      • 2021-09-01 24432, 2021

      • riksucks
        ohh okay, so the followers won't delete it, but the one who made the recommendation will, I see

        I see, I kind of misunderstood the purpose, the ticket makes more sense now. Thank you

        yup

        Also, idk if its an issue only I am having, but the LB frontend locally won't talk with the backend APIs properly. It would always say how the auth token is invalid. So I am resorting to curl and postman to test things out. Is this some common issue or does it seem to only affect me here?
      • 2021-09-01 24403, 2021

      • lucifer
        there's a setting in config.py file to set whether the app should connect to LB prod or your local version.

      • riksucks
        ahh I see, I should have checked there, sorry for the trouble

        no worries. in general, you can look at https://listenbrainz.readthedocs.io/en/production…

        this should hopefully cover everything needed to set up the dev env. if you find something missing, we should add it there

        akshaaatt[m]: I for one think it's a good idea to work on a mockup like this and being able to host it and get feedback!
      • 2021-09-01 24452, 2021

      • monkey
        In my experience it's easier to seek feedback fewer times but on designs that are well advanced, rather than more regular feedback every time something changes in the mockup. (it's easier to integrate a few waves of feedback than continuous feedback)

        yes indeed. also, as much as it pains me to say this. it's much easier to see how the mockup if it's made like it will look on the screen, preliminary paper scetches are god for ideas, but bad for getting "how does this mockup look2 type feedback

        I really think that coming up with a design is really hard. I never used to think about this until 2-3 years back because it comes naturally to me. But when I explored recently, people have a designated job for this!

        to me the most important thing is that edit screns don't change *too* much

      • yyoung[m]
        The AB update sounds like a huge step, I'm always wondering if there's a way to mark recordings that are variations of the same theme, not sure if this will help, gonna play with it a little bit
      • 2021-09-01 24433, 2021

      • alastairp
        yyoung[m]: this won't work with variations, we don't have enough information in the acousticbrainz data to identify that
      • 2021-09-01 24453, 2021

      • yyoung[m]
        Oh, OK :)
      • 2021-09-01 24407, 2021

      • alastairp
        there's a subbranch of this area of research called "cover song identification", which mostly works with identifying different recordings of the same song (i.e. live/studio/cover)
      • 2021-09-01 24445, 2021

      • alastairp
        but variations is interesting... you'd probably have to identify the melody, and then on top of that decide what a "variation" actually means
      • 2021-09-01 24432, 2021

      • yyoung[m]
        For example, a slower or softer version, or an arrangement?
      • 2021-09-01 24404, 2021

      • alastairp
        cover song identification should help with slower or acoustic versions
      • 2021-09-01 24421, 2021

      • alastairp
        different arrangements - often as long as the general chord structure is the same it should also work
      • 2021-09-01 24405, 2021

      • yyoung[m]
        Yes, at long as we can identify melodies that would be near success
      • 2021-09-01 24452, 2021

      • yyoung[m]
        Why are there 2 "MFCCs"s?
      • 2021-09-01 24451, 2021

      • alastairp
        the one that ends with w is weighted
      • 2021-09-01 24417, 2021

      • alastairp
        so they're normalised to have values between 0 and 1
      • 2021-09-01 24437, 2021

      • alastairp
        ideally this means that things that are otherwise the same, but one is louder than the other will still appear as identical
      • 2021-09-01 24459, 2021

      • alastairp
        because if we didn't weight them, it would identify them as "different", because the numbers that it compares would be different
      • 2021-09-01 24412, 2021

      • yyoung[m]
        I mean, the last one in the list is also "MFCCs", so there're MFCCs, MFCCs(weighted), MFCCs

        I am stupid. I check this query on artist without urls (:
      • 2021-09-01 24438, 2021

      • yyoung[m]
        I'm curious about how instrument similarity is measured 🤔
      • 2021-09-01 24424, 2021

      • alastairp
        yyoung[m]: this name is a bit misleading, and something that we can improve
      • 2021-09-01 24444, 2021

      • alastairp
        we have a machine learning algorithm which tries to identify if a recording is "instrumental" (i.e. doesn't have human vocals)
      • 2021-09-01 24423, 2021

      • yyoung[m]
        Right, and that's not quite accurate according to my testing :)
      • 2021-09-01 24434, 2021

      • alastairp
        and the result is something like "81% instrumental, 19% vocal"
      • 2021-09-01 24453, 2021

      • alastairp
        and then the idea is that a recording which is identified as 80.5% instrumental, 19.5% vocal would be "similar"
      • 2021-09-01 24421, 2021

      • alastairp
        but yes, of course there is also the question of if the underlying model for instrumental/vocal is good
      • 2021-09-01 24429, 2021

      • yyoung[m]
        Ah that's misleading indeed :D
      • 2021-09-01 24451, 2021

      • yyoung[m]
        And I'm not sure if this metrics makes any sense
      • 2021-09-01 24459, 2021

      • alastairp
        in this case, perhaps it doesn't make too much sense to use such a complex "similarity" metric for this. in reality you probably just want to group all items with a "instrumental" % of > 70% into a single group
      • 2021-09-01 24408, 2021

      • alastairp
        however
      • 2021-09-01 24430, 2021

      • alastairp
        next step is to look and see if it makes sense to "combine" these metrics and use more than one at a time
      • 2021-09-01 24455, 2021

      • alastairp
        perhaps it makes sense to be able to search based on 1 similarity and then filter based on another?
      • 2021-09-01 24433, 2021

      • yyoung[m]
        It's already beyond my expectation though, seeing it shows 3 songs I've heard before
      • 2021-09-01 24442, 2021

      • yyoung[m]

        I may be 10 years out of date, but at least I'm consistent in using that example

        mfcc is mel frequency cepstrum coefficient. generally refers to timbre ("what it sounds like")

        someone else suggested adding some descriptions of these, we'll do that

        alastairp: https://acousticbrainz.org/similarity/97bef32a-91… stucks at loading because API returns 404
      • 2021-09-01 24409, 2021

      • alastairp
        and yes, we have ideas about a combined description
      • 2021-09-01 24417, 2021

      • alastairp
        yyoung[m]: cool, thanks for the report. can you open a ticket about it?

        I haven't rebuilt the index since the beginning of August, I'll have to update it and set up a process to do it automatically

        just wanted to say you're not the only one who uses that example: https://blog.metabrainz.org/2020/04/01/a-very-imp…

        yvanzo: I hadn't noticed this: https://blog.metabrainz.org/2021/04/01/community-… :D fish!
      • 2021-09-01 24413, 2021

      • yyoung[m]
        alastairp: Sure, so it's because index is not updated?
      • 2021-09-01 24435, 2021

      • alastairp
        yyoung[m]: yes, but there's also a bug because the page shouldn't fail if that's the case, it should show a sensible error message

        lucifer: regarding LB-912, do you want the api to delete events one at a time or do you want the api to accept a list of events to delete
