Well-put. One perfect pattern at one scale, another perfect pattern at a different scale, and then there has to be a transition between them of optimal steps along the way. I like that.
That’s what she said 😏
Yes it really blew my mind when I actually did the experiment. I suspect it’s the same for others as well. Until I tested it, I wouldn’t have predicted it at all.
If you don’t already play with Ableton Live I highly recommend it. It’s got tons of signal-altering filters that you can chain together into pipelines and it’s great for developing an intuitive understanding of the connections between signal, waveform, sound, and perception.
Unpitched percussion instruments do have a pitch. Basically like everything else other than a sine wave generator, their sound is complex.
If you look at the fourier transform view of the signal, you’ll see a peak. Generally speaking that peak is the tone the thing makes.
This is why one recommended step in something like Ableton Live is to put a shaping filter on the drums, and then tweak the peak of that filter up and down until the drums either match or complement the tones of the notes.
This makes me think Norman Rockwell must have done some physical labor in his life.
The posture of the blacksmith is just too perfect. It captures what it feels like to do something you’ve mastered.
So your philosophy has the effect of cutting communication between you and about 50% of your countrymen? Doesn’t that make you feel like you’re being used?
Was it GPT 5?
A PhD makes a person knowledgeable, not intelligent. And GPT-4 was already extremely knowledgeable.
but always break down as bad actors and grifters work their way in to cause trouble
This is the reason for having a slow, steady, methodical, skeptical approach to social change.
If your thing gets hijacked every time, eventually you gotta take responsibility for being so easily hijacked.
Yes I would say that about BLM. Justifying this stupid shit with that stupid shit doesn’t sway me. And no, now that I’m pissed off about this library vandalism, that does not in any way make me likely to support Gaza.
How do you not get that there is no mechanism of incentive here?
throwing shit on the Mona Lisa. Are you more aware?
No. I already knew about climate change.
Stonehenge. Are you more aware?
No. I already knew about climate change.
The audience is everyone who doesn’t give a shit about the protests but instead pearl clutches over the covers of books getting some paint on them
I am opposed to spray painting library books. But that does not mean that spray painting library books is a way to recruit my help.
In fact, there is no reason to think it would recruit my help.
I don’t give a shit if a hundred libraries burn to save the lives of even ten children.
There is no mechanism by which burning a library saves children’s lives
No, but they might be able to produce 300x the value.
Add in customer service, sales, and development, and it seems easier to focus on what other groups pay for those skills, which is not what I want.
Why not? Why not value the work based on what others are willing to pay for it?
Why don’t you ask a conservative or a republican?
and I think there are 5 or 6 heads of John the Baptist floating around right now
This man is hallucinating, so take whatever else he’s saying with a grain of salt.
I read a comment once about this: https://lemmy.world/comment/10801312
That is so fucked up. So a homeless person is forced into the shelter system, regardless of whether it’s of good or terrible quality.
