Very tired nerd who doesn’t know how to speak correctly

Ask me about floppa, Plan 9, or computer architecture or anything computers really (if you want)

:cat-vibing:

If I don’t reply to you it’s probably cuz I’m too tired, sorry :(

Direct message

I think everything is in stereo, which I guess implies spatially separated microphones doesn’t it…

I have no idea how this works though, either way this is like the most nerd way to look at sampling songs lol

ML/“”“AI”“” has been such a boon for signal processing hasn’t it lol

Apologies my brain is melting further tonight

That’s so real, especially if they start using corpo or corpo-adjacent terms lol

I watched that lecture, was interesting but kept zoning out, thinking about the lost art of continuous-time signal processing and analog computers lol. Could see myself falling asleep to that tbh

Was really interesting to see that primitive, presumably edge-detecting algorithm they ran on the cloud picture. Effective at revealing road network but very ugly lol

I’m just yapping now but my friend has this issue where they often want to sample pieces of music to use for their own music but it’s difficult extracting single components or instruments from everything else in a song. Their approach is to use these awful, usually ad-infested or subscription-pushing web AI tools to get the samples out of the music but I guess the key to get the perfect sample on your own is to try to extract what you need out of the song in the frequency-domain, which I never considered before, will have to find software that can help and see if we can do it together

Oooh this looks interesting, I will watch it, very 80s-vibes indeed lol

If we are exchanging cool, old signals-related educational media, you may like this cool AT&T-produced video demonstrating wave behavior: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DovunOxlY1k

It’s basic stuff but is really fun to see it demonstrated so immediately and physically

What kind of manufacturing imaging stuff do you mean exactly if you don’t mind saying?

It’s okay

You got any cool math things or projects (doesn’t have to be math-related ofc) you’re working on? I saw and loved your bit-algorithm posting the other day lol

Personally my preferred approach to any computational problem like list sorting or RSA cracking is to put a computer in close orbit around the sun until the cosmic rays reprogram it to use the ideal algorithm for the problem and solve it for me

Idk how much of this actually matters to real people

Media overfocuses on or Obamna mustard incident or above but does anyone actually care that much outside of civility lib/right-wing TV ghoul optics media circles? It’s funny I guess

It’s mostly manufactured imo, people think

Examining actual material factors like circumstances of class rule and how the capitalist class decides which guy gets to represent them is out of the question, so at best we get OBJECTIVE REASONABLE POLICY DISCUSSION or at worst completely vibes based politics like Gerald Ford lost Texas cuz he ate a tamale the wrong way :) (these not necessarily mutually exclusive ofc) to justify what happens after the fact while obscuring the class power behind it
