GCs from #ISMIR25: The jam session last year in San Francisco was not supposed to be topped by any future ISMIR editions. I just saw some videos of what happened yesterday and you clearly ignored our memo. My goodness titans, what have you done?! SO EPIC /cc @keunwoochoi.bsky.social (#somuchfomo)

What's up with the invitation letters for the India visa for those who are traveling to ICASSP this year? The conference is less than a month away and we still haven't received our letters. I suspect many registered participants won't be able to attend because of that :/ #ICASSP

I love how DiffRhythm keeps changing time signatures à la Dream Theater (ie, seemingly random). The vocals are in a quite deep uncanny valley, but the music sounds super good. And the audio prompting works really well! And all open source! Great job, titans <3 huggingface.co/spaces/ASLP-...

After using Cursor with Sonnet 3.5 for around a month, I gotta say it truly is a game changer. I don't think I ever want to go back to coding without AI assistants. The "vibes coding" that Karpathy is talking about is 100% real www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPTCod... PS: Yes, I gave up Neovim 🫣

I propose we replace semantic versioning with pride versioning

Diagram with large number: 2.7.123
First “2” is commented: Proud version. Bump when you are proud of the release
Second “7” is commented: Default version. Just normal/okay releases
Third “123” is commented: Shame version. Bump when fixing things too embarrassing to admit

We just received a Marginal Reject for one of our ICASSP papers, and the full justification was: "Must improve quality of presentation and evaluation." Seriously?? That's it?? Reviewers, we must do a much better job than this, especially when rejecting!

This chart by Mona Chalabi is on my mind today.

Average voters wait times.
White: about 12.5 minutes
Native Americans: About 13 minutes.
Asian Americans: About 15 minutes
Latinos:About 18.5 minutes.
African Americans: About 22.5 minutes.
The chart is hand drawn and the maximum scale is 15 minutes, so long times are shown in a u-turn at the end of which there is a woman standing.
