arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/… I'm in an @arstechnica programmatic music piece speaking about @tidalcycles ! Also featuring @yaxu @kindohm @williamfieldsy @MariawHorn & !pioneer @carlstone! + Peep the linked preview of DXGPVWZ (me & @Spednar ) A/V. Thx @ConceptualCamel for the interview – at Pittsburgh, PA

Deep algebra for deep beats: The beautiful sounds of musical programming

The beauty of these projects comes as much from sonic textures as from elegant code.

Very proud that today our Intel Neuromorphic Computing Lab announces Hala Point, the world's largest and fastest deployed neuromorphic system w/ 1.15 billion neurons, the capacity of an owl brain, packed into a 6 rack-unit chassis intel.com/content/www/us/en/…

Intel Builds World’s Largest Neuromorphic System to Enable More...

Hala Point, the industry’s first 1.15 billion neuron neuromorphic system, builds a path toward more efficient and scalable AI.

Capable of 20 quadrillion dense-equivalent 8-bit integer ops per second and 15 TOPS/W efficiency, it operates at only 2600 watts max (a few GPUs worth) and paves the way for more sustainable AI acceleration.

Excited to continue algorithmic development f/ this system, esp using its on-chip learning engine. With this, we can not only make AI workloads run more efficiently at inference time, but learn continuously, w/o batching, to minimize/avoid the costly re-training of deep networks

Thrilled to share that my PhD advisor, Larry Abbott, and pioneers Terry Sejnowski @sejnowski & Haim Sompolinsky @HSompolinsky clinched the prestigious Brain Prize for their groundbreaking work in computational and theoretical neuroscience. 🤘🤓🤘 This honor is a watershed moment in the history of neuroscience. Once viewed as irrelevant, computational/theoretical neuroscience is now viewed as essential, especially in systems neuroscience (how we understand e.g. vision, motor control, cognition, etc). Thanks to pioneers like Larry, Terry & Haim, cutting-edge tech and AI we're inching closer to decoding the brain's computational mysteries.

BREAKING: You can actually get the @AllenInstitute to perform cutting-edge neuroscience experiments to test your ideas on how the brain work for free. Deadline is September 12th to submit your experiments. Please wake up to how amazing that is. alleninstitute.org/division/…

Decoding the Brain's Hidden Algorithms for Behavior

Every decision you make results from neural activity cascading across the brain. The Allen Institute is mapping those patterns across the entire brain to understand how behavior emerges from biology.

Genot Centre was influential in my music tastes when {arsonist} was just coming to fruition. They embodied a particular post-club + computer music crossover that will always be sentimental for me. Ondřej and Wim supported my own music early on. Thanks for everything friends🙏🌹
Genot Centre@genotcentre30 Jun 2023
🪦 RIP GENOT CENTRE (2015-2023) 🪦 "Music is about discovery”, as one brave & wise man once said (Bryce Helm, 2023). We have recently discovered that this is the perfect time to conclude all things Genot. ⬇️

Does everyone else have 2-5 storage bins containing every t-shirt that you’ve ever been given as part of any past academic/professional/athletic/musical/organizational affiliation that you wear once each per year max out of nostalgia and guilt or is that just me?

Have to agree with Blake here and it’s interesting to me that I’m also seeing agreement from many prominent researchers who lean “computational neuroscience” vs more general DL/AI (if we can draw such a crude distinction)
Blake Richards@tyrell_turing30 May 2023
1/4) Several people I admire immensely have signed this, but respectfully, I'm afraid I just don't agree with the claim that "mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority". I think this statement is naive and a mistake.

A lesson that I continually relearn — the things that are pedestrian to you are not necessarily that way for others. If you’ve invested deeply in a(n) artistic/musical/algorithmic/academic niche, what seems obvious/overplayed to you can be deeply valuable to a different audience

The archive of my live set for Chromasy's monthly on @RTM_fm is up: rtm.fm/listen/chromasy/ Lots of high bpm drum programming in this 1, since Chromasy is an IDM & computer music connoisseur. S/O to the great set by @underarrow. Also ft. shredders Oh Mr James & Simona Zamboli
