Which is also what birds do I think. They also only have only one orifice
Look up diagrams of bird lungs. Yes, the in/out is through the mouth+nose. But internally is' more like a one-way circle.
Interesting about that OSHA curve. I also read some (dutch) research once where they had a slightly different conclusion (though I now can't find it anywhere): People tended to underestimate the volume/sound pressure of…
Amen to that! The difference between overproduced generic 'producer music' and AI music (which is basically a remix of that I guess) is often minimal. Both are excruciatingly boring. 90% of the music I listen these days…
It probably could. Point he's trying to make is that it very often isn't. Lots of pop music is just snapped to grid. Makes it easier to repeat and swap sections. I'm not sure his demonstration is 'fair', as in someone…
100% agreed. This fashion of cranking the base and the high end and removing the middle (simulating a subwoofer with some tiny speakers, basically) can't die fast enough. I mean, fair play for the writer. If he wants it…
Yeah for sure, you don't take it by the end of the handle for a light tap. Still, if you want to have some guideline for that angle I would at least go for the end of the handle ;-)
I was slightly annoyed by the whole rigmarole about the angle as well. Silly of course because everybody should use the angle that suits them best. It's just that when I was taught 'hammering' as a kid, it was drilled…
I read it as 'it's easier to dump the execs in Iceland than in space` :-D Which might be true, though the second thing sounds promising as well...
They do the same with youtube accounts. My parents lost a ton a family movies that way. No warning either, just poof -> gone.
My uncle, who worked for oil companies all his life, always had the opinion that the Indians use english better than the English. :-) 'prepone' is an example of why I sometimes agree. Most indian guys I know also up the…
Yea no shit sherlock! My stance used to be that the invention of the filter bubble combined with targeted advertising is the most dangerous invention for human society of the last 100 years. AI turns that up to 11
Delivering the bits might not be hard. Storing the bits is hard. Or at least expensive.
st iGNUtius called it, amen. :-P
I used to think that. But I now realize there will always be people having a job in said datacenter who will try to prevent that. As long as the AI pays it's minions well , people, will do their job. But AIs need such…
It will be a death by a 1000 papercuts. It started with the 'filter bubble' (imho the most dangerous invention/discovery for humanity ever ), then it leveled up to 'propaganda leveraging the filter bubble' and now with…
govts should be forbidden from using X. Or any other commercial for-profit message service. It's not like one-way communication is a hard problem. Just post that stuff on a website ffs!
Google has always been like this. I used to have a Youtube account with timelapse movies from my holidays. Nothing special, just stuff to show the family, but it was a lot of work to edit and upload them all. One day I…
That's what I meant when stating 'the exact frequencies are culturally defined'. There are lots of tuning systems. Equal temperament is just 12 (logarithmic) equal steps. But other tuning systems use different…
I agree that this is often the situation in practice. I feel it's kind of bleak to just accept that status quo. Democracy lost? Back to the medieval system of nobles and serfs? Where having money means having rights? We…
I'd like my e-reader to show up as a printer, and when I print something on it it actually gets saved as a pdf on the reader. Like in the article, but multi-page pdf. I often do 'print to A5 pdf => copy pdf to…
printing has never really been a thing from text editors I think. Used to be that printing a text file was just `cat myfile.txt > /dev/lp0` . It has been a while since I printed a plain text file, but I guess there's…
Copyright is good. It's the justice system letting money buy it's way out of enforcement that is bad. If you create something you should have some protection of other people just blatantly ripping you off. Copyright…
True. And it's going to bite us in the ass pretty soon. Already does, actually.
