I'm just going to leave this here. I don't know that we need to build a wall around the town square.
that is my new favorite thing said about the carillon haha, thanks for listening!
delighted!
this recording is using the hardware already hooked up at this tower— I think they’re big PZM microphones? but I did take your advice and tested my mobile setup here and got some really decent results from that as well, so thanks! glad you enjoyed
a piano tuner tuning 25 pianos a year? LOL
Side question, will the loudness wars ever end? Side side note, an ex was genuinely amazed at the sound a piano actually makes hearing me play on a grand piano--sympathetic resonance and all that. It's such a shame that so many people these days know nothing but shit audio fidelity and shitty compression--why?? Has technology truly regressed (not even talking vinyl--let's say the shift from CD to iTunes to Spotify) or are people just drawn to the least expensive thing and that's the driving factor? And yeah I have Tidal but look at the subscriber comparisons between them and Spotify... there's a noteworthy lack of... dynamic range that classical really needs.
a Belgian bank account might be a good idea
hey cool, there was no 502!
how is it already tuesday?
Same with Firefox 106.0.5, MacOS 13.0
except literally this comment's parent comment, for some reason. right now i'm posting from a plane if that changes anything (massive ping)
yes
is it weird that the X41 looks exactly like what I would expect "the first community-based manufacture movement" to look like?
you just reminded me that I have always wanted a Braun travel clock. and there was an AB1 on ebay one of the 'made in germany' ones
I like the Hermès one the "planisphère d’un monde équestre" "map of the equestrian world" is hilarious. apparently if you travel to Samarkand you can hide the continent of Dressage.
what's a 17 year old worried about these days? hopeful about these days? looking forward to? dreading? (related or unrelated to being FTM, your choice :) )
I don't think that the AI model itself is terrifying (necessarily). People's inputs to that model (as pertaining to ... harmful outcomes), yeah, could be quite unsavory and dangerous. However. Loab is terrifying.
Dvořák: Symphony No. 9, IV. Allegro con fuoco
I think this thread needs more classical music, which I'm happy to provide.
ah, makes sense. Johnson bar with a weak right arm is...not ideal
"Mooney units", easily subdivided into "AMUs" or Aviation Monetary Units Current conversion rate is 1 Mooney unit = 65 AMUs, but you know...inflation Does the M20F still fly?
Can you tell where my mind's at?
As unfortunate as this is, there's always a fine line between "shit we're late, better ship the flight software as it is even though we haven't tested it all...oh sweet, it works!" and "...ah fuck, we're fucked!" 52 months with more software testing might be more preferable than launching now and failing the mission. It's a mission manager's biggest dilemma.
WSJ article on the first attacks, de-paywalled
The Russian leader railed against the eastward expansion of NATO in the decades since the 1991 collapse, saying Moscow had been faced with “deceit and attempts at pressure and blackmail.” He issued a pointed warning against any attempt to stop Russia’s move into Ukraine, saying Russia was “one of the most powerful nuclear powers in the world.”
