“I ever tell you about the time my buddy Keith and I were on the top of a burnin’ building, and we had to fight our way down like five floors of zombies and― Hey, wait a second…I guess that was you guys. Oh, shit, man, I can’t wait to tell Keith about that one!”
Bummer - looks like your post did show on lemmy.blahaj.zone, and I see that you got one up on @gothindustrial. Leads me to think it might be a community ban on @spookymemes for why your toy post didn’t show up there. blahaj.zone was probably just slow.
There are two immediate flaws I see with the study. The first is the sound quality of the youtube videos, which have been engineered to human hearing. Dogs hear frequencies high above the human range, and it’s highly likely their vocalizations carry nuance and context in the upper frequency. A simple microphone recording won’t do - you need something with high sensitivity and minimal distortion, and you have to ensure the digitization of the sound file doesn’t interfere with the quality for those higher ranges.
The second is the sound input into the analysis, which also should be tuned for these higher frequencies - I find it unlikely that the AI was matching frequencies above human hearing to generate dog “words”.
In essence, they’re analyzing how humans hear dogs speak, not how dogs speak to each other. To do so properly, an ideal research setting would be one of dogs interacting live with each other, with sound recording equipment that can match the quality of canine hearing.
That being said, it’s a fascinating work, and I understand that the researchers were working with the data on hand - definitely shows promise for continued study.
Saw your post and I got curious, as it’s clear your new threads aren’t appearing on the instances you’re posting to.
Test run shows that posting to lemmy.world is working for my account: https://lemmy.world/post/6641504 .
There’s a couple things that could be happening, but I’m gonna go with my gut and ask do you have any domains blocked? There’s been repeated issues with domain blocking affecting your ability to post (in fact, I had to clear all my domain blocking to properly post to kbin). This is the first thing I’d check.
The next thing would be to see if those instances or communities banned you. This seems unlikely, as it’s affecting you on both lemmy.world and lemmy.blahaj.zone. The last thing could be that these communities have defederated or blocked kbin users due to past spam issues (@Technology is still blocked on lemmy.world due to this), but I haven’t seen it implemented in this way before.
But I’d start with the domain blocking - 90% of the time when people have problems posting on kbin, that’s the cause.
Almost forgot to mention - just a heads up re: the finger thing - I think @InigoMontoya is looking for you…
Here’s a more more direct route if you’re one of Dread Roberts’ crew… just posted it over on the @13thFloor to preserve the link in case any of the mods here were Humperdinck agents looking for volunteers to test the Pit of Despair.
I rewatched this recently, and yeah, all the cliches are there (some rather clumsily filmed even by 40s standards) - but fuck me if Bogie still doesn’t blow it out of the water with that performance. I can’t think of a single film noir protagonist that matches what he pulled off in that film. He’s better here than he is in Casablanca by a long shot imho.
@The_Picard_Maneuver I do not mean to pry, but you don’t by any chance happen to have six fingers on your right hand?
