Hi AoIRistas, after having to sit @AoIR conferences out for many years (😥), I am reeeaaallllllly planning on attending #AoIR2026 🤗🤞 Papers are already in preparation, but I'm also happy to plan/join roundtables, fishbowls, and pre-conferences. Feel free to reach out, notably re:

RVC vẫn là "vua" của công nghệ Speech-to-Speech (STS) dù hơn 2 năm không có cập nhật lớn. Nhiều giả thuyết nở ra: liệu do hướng nghiên cứu chuyển sang TTS/zero-shot, giới hạn của vocoder hiện tại, hay vì ngành ưu tiên tốc độ thực thi thay vì chất lượng phòng thu? Các nhân nhánh như Applio/Mangio vẫn còn artifacts khó chịu. Có "RVC killer" nào cho nhạc đang ấp ủ đâu chưa? 🤔 #AI #CôngNghệTươngTác #STS #RVC #TTS #Vocoder #AIÂmNhạc #ThủCôngAI
RVC vẫn dẫn đầu trong Speech-to-Speech (STS) dù 2 năm không cập nhật. Tại sao chưa có đối thủ? Phải chăng nghiên cứu đang tập trung vào TTS hay mô hình zero-shot vì lợi ích thương mại? Hay do giới hạn vocoder khi xử lý giọng hát phức tạp? Nghệ thuật số #AI #RVC #STS #ÂmNhạcAI #CôngNghệ #MachineLearning #XửLýGiọngNói #AIHát
hello mastodon —
sound, listening and performance as ways of thinking with territory.
non-anthropocentric perspectives, infrastructures, measurement, and resistant environments.
psychogeography, cultural studies, and the arts as ways of attending — including alternative mappings and cartographies.
photography as field note. sound as method.
slow conversations welcome.

How Richard Feynman Found the Root of the Challenger Disaster
"
".. O-rings .. these rings were never intended to be used to cover expanding gaps, .. "
".. felt frustrated by the slow pace + “time-consuming” public meetings + briefings “of so little use.” He did his own research .. even created his own report .. released publicly. .."

Challenger: The disaster five people saw coming
Forty years ago, the Challenger space shuttle disintegrated just after lift-off, killing its crew and changing the history of spaceflight. A small team of engineers tried to prevent the tragedy — but they were overruled.

still collecting decaying (or not decaying) covid infrastructure. Reply with your finds to:
Ingold, T. (2021) “In the gathering shadows of material things,”
discussed and summarized here: https://www.livinganthropologically.com/imagining-for-real/concrete-is-concrescence/
with a particular focus on the problem of the translation of the french "agencement" (/a.ʒɑ̃s.mɑ̃/) to the english "assemblage" (/əˈsɛmblɪd͡ʒ/)
Reminder for folks in #hps #philsci #histsci #sts and related areas. Still time to apply for our postdoc. Reach out if you want more info etc.
Paul Feyerabend was born OTD in 1924. Knowledge is not a body of consistent theories converging on truth. It is “an ever increasing ocean of mutually incompatible … alternatives, each single theory, each fairy tale, each myth … forcing the others into greater articulation.” 🧪🦋🦫 #PhilSci #STS
Aldo Leopold was born OTD in 1887. “We abuse land because we see it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.” #HpBio #HistSTM 🌎 #philsci #STS 🧪
More radically, there’s the possibility that capabilities don’t preexist their expression in observable forms, which has implications for the conceptual premises of “construct validity.” These are standard STS/philosophy ideas, but most of the computer-scientific literature doesn’t want to go near them.
I wish that the outlet would publish the article so that I can reference it when I self-publish writing about these ideas (also, so I can get paid 🙂)
Would love to see non-astronomers there, too, w insights from relevant disciplines #sts #histsci #envhist #envhum #envjustice ...
And "everyone" includes more than human world
