• request, radio broadcast

    From jagareco@21:1/5 to All on Sat Apr 22 13:21:52 2023
    hello
    i'm looking for a polish radio broadcast, that was emitted twice, 2020 (december) under a Beethovenian Marathon, and 2022 for 85th birthday of polskieradio (February-March)

    in those programs they broadcasted this work:
    Beethoven's piano concerto op 73, the Emperor

    Claudio Arrau
    Witold Rowicki
    National Polish Sympo-Philharmonic Orchestra

    have any of you that recording?

    regards

    Is there any reason that particular
    performance is more interesting
    than other Arrau performances
    of the Emperoar?

    I ask the question ....

    Not in particular, i'm Arrau´s collector, and don't have it, so it's interesting to me for many reasons

    Arrau performed, recorded, and/or was recorded
    performing the Emperoar countless times. Does
    this performance have any distinction over all the
    others? Please enlighten us.

    TIA!

    If there are and I knew about it I'd say so.

    Then how can one possibly conclude Bing
    and Google are "terrible" ?!? Compared to
    what? To the "knowledge" in one's head?
    Possibly bcause one happens to know
    about one item the search engine may
    have missed? What an idiocy!

    Bing/Google lives only on it's past reputation

    People have reputations. Software does
    not have "reputations".

    when it would display non-mainstream results
    without steering away from what you are trying
    to find.

    If one already knows what one is trying to
    find, why would one need to use a search
    engine? And if one doesn't know, how would
    one know a search engine has missed it ?!?

    Since, it has been incredibly dumbed down to
    the level of the anti-intellectualism of it's owners.

    Sounds farfetched, especially coming from
    the dumbest anonymous troll in r.m.c.r.

    The "Recorded Richter" file is an example of an
    attempt at complete discographies, I have the
    February 12, 2017 update, and it's a single file,
    not broken up into little web pages, very useful:
    It could be even better if it was a plain text file
    than whatever rich format it uses.

    This has nothing to do with search engines or
    their quality. Search engines look for web pages
    that include a search phrase. No more, no less,
    and nothing else. They do not convert files from
    one form to another, split or edit them, etc..

    There ought to be files just like it for other artists.

    Possibly, but how would one know this for a fact?

    There might be, just the search engines won't
    show it.

    Again, how would one know this for a fact?

    I tried to find an update of "Recorded Richter"
    and all I see is the file from 2006.

    The file or the website may not have been
    updated. What makes you so sure it must
    have been updated?

    You really have unrealistic, unreasonable
    expectations. Do you even know how
    search engines work? Have you read
    the relevant patents granted to Yahoo,
    Google, Inktomi or Alta Vista? I doubt it.

    Yes, web search is a shadow of what it used to be -- largely useless
    now. Even when one knows exactly what one is looking for, it might
    not turn up. Trying to find answers to anything but the stupidest
    questions imaginable? Forget it. (And even for the stupidest
    questions, the answers supplied might be just as stupid.) You're
    exactly right, it's a constant topic of conversation among pretty
    much everyone I know in tech, and moreover, anyone who blows off
    your criticisms likely has a financial stake in keeping the bullshit
    flowing, including RMCR's resident clown.

    This has nothing to do with search engines ortheir quality. Search
    engines look for web pagesthat include a search phrase. No more, no
    less,and nothing else. They do not convert files fromone form to
    another, split or edit them, etc..


    You're thinking of AltaVista (remember them?)

    Actually, Google and Bing do much, much more. First they broaden your
    query to include words you might possibly have misspelled, then they do
    a search, and grade each find for relevance to what it thinks you
    intended.
    Then they sort by relevance. Then they find some advertiser whose
    product might be a dim match for what you requested and they put that
    in front of your responses. Then they record your request and track
    every last damn thing you do from then on, for all posteriors. Then
    they cough up all that data whenever the FBI or the Democratic party
    want some.

    P.S. Yes, I know that you knew that.

    You're thinking of AltaVista (remember them?)

    I am not thinking of AltaVista, though I remember
    them very well. One of my friends was the CTO. I
    spent as much time in his office as I spent in my
    own. Much closer to Palo Alto coffee and sushi
    than my office on the other side of Hwy 101.

    Actually, Google and Bing do much, much more.

    The may believe they do, but it isn't always what
    one needs or wants.

    First they broaden your query to include words
    you might possibly have misspelled,

    I would rather have a stricter mode as the default.
    Some people know what they are looking for, more
    or less. Some don't. See Pluted for examples of both.

    then they do a search, and grade each find for
    relevance to what it thinks you intended.

    I find the notion Google understands my intent
    quite ludicrous. Here are real life examples:

    Search for Esteban Sanchez, see what pops up:

    https://www.google.com/search?q=esteban+sanchez

    Search for Hiromi Uehara, see what pops up:

    https://www.google.com/search?q=Hiromi+Uehara

    Does Google think I am looking for a Mexican
    pop singer, or for a Japanese golf player?

    Then they sort by relevance. Then they find some
    advertiser whose product might be a dim match
    for what you requested and they put that in front
    of your responses. Then they record your request
    and track every last damn thing you do from then
    on, for all posteriors.

    Yes, but they do not edit/reformat/split/rearrange documents
    to Pluted's requirements.

    Then they cough up all that data whenever the FBI or the
    Democratic party want some.

    Google provides the tools to erase one's search history,
    however most people do not use them.

    Not in the way one might think.

    (Obvious answer: YES)

    Not in the way most people think. They do not
    make 1:1 physical copies of all the storage. The
    cost would be staggering and the time required
    to back up and to restore would be enormous.

    Google and other hyperscalers store data
    using a method known as erasure coding:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erasure_code

    There isn't a 1:1 physical copy of all the data.
    The "backup data" is interleaved with the real
    data, This allows for data recovery on the fly
    without any downtime.

    Do you believe that they purge your history
    from the backup data?

    Read again. In modern large scale storage
    systems there are no separate, physically
    distinct copies of the data. Erasure coding
    is used across servers, racks, data centers,
    regions, and globally.

    Take care,

    Yes. I had encountered either that or something like it that allowed
    one to recreate data even if all the parts are not there. But thanks

    Yes, they claim to have a "process designed to safely and completely
    delete the data from our storage systems." Perhaps they do have a
    software worm that will borrow through all its data. Probably, as you
    can run a program on Google and see just what they saved from you. So,
    if they can generate the data, they can probably cull it too.
