I can't believe you published this right after I finished making a game for a game jam where I used image steganography and audio steganography as puzzles in my entry. The wave form collapse method is really clever. I'll have to remember it for next time. I ended up just hiding text in frequencies above the range human ears can hear, then put a tiny bit of extra data in the human audible range as a clue.

that feeling when you just want to make music but first need to learn military espionage techniques to take down the capitalist system that makes it suck to be a musician

I work in Virginia and it is mind blowing to see the amount of data centers that are everywhere. I’ve literally lost count. Testing in for sound pollution around these places that are right up in suburban and commercial areas would be very interesting

As someone with a very high hearing range. That allegedly inaudible range hurts my poor ears.

16:05 , Georgi Gerganov is a bulgarian software developer best known for creating llama.cpp and the GGUF (Georgi Gerganov) file format , which revolutionized running Large Language Models (LLMs) on standard consumer hardware . That photo is placed on purpose , it's a joke . He is now working for HuggingFace .

I thought he would have a good reason for pronouncing Mall-ware like that, such as a great love for malls or something.
How does he pronounce natural?
Nature – all?

What’s with all the ai slop?? Disappointing. Surely you could make a basic web ui without vibecoding it

Would using distributed parity at the cost of a bit more space make surviving the compression more likely? You could divide the song into multiple blocks. I wonder.
