  • Then most people would be unaware of the vast history of non-voting in anarchist and revolutionary socialist movements.

    It is a valid opinion even if you don't agree with it. Here's an accessible write-up.

  • 7y(12e+11) - 85 = 2y +12e

    (7(12e+11)-2)y = 12e + 85

    y = (12e + 85)/(7(12e+11)-2)

    y = (12e + 85)/(84e+77-2)

    y = (12e + 85)/(84e+75)

    Assuming e := exp(1) ≈ 2.73, my calculator says that y ≈ 0.3878, or a little over a third.

    If e :≠ exp(1), then we need a second equation to even have the possibility of a unique solution. As it stands, e may take on any value except -75/84 = -25/28 ≈ -0.8929 where the denominator goes to zero. To see this, assume that the equality does hold with e := -75/84. Then:

    7y(12e+11) - 85 = 2y +12e

    7y(12(-75/84)+11) - 85 = 2y +12(-75/84)

    2y - 85 = 2y - 75/7

    85 = 75/7

    595 = 75

    We have reached a contradiction. Since the only assumption made was that e := -75/84, it must be impossible.

  • fame-seeking

    I agree there, lol. I'm not into people who are doing what they do for the fame.

  • So my answer really comes from waaay back when I was a producer.

    What is the psychological effect of listening to two different pieces of audio simultaneously?

    It depends on the audio content, its message if it has any, and the psychological state of the listener. It's generally not dangerous to try it out, but most often it will sound like incoherent garbage.

    What if the pieces are the same and start at different times?

    Now that is a more interesting question!

    Up to ~15 milliseconds — You won't perceive the two pieces as two different pieces. It is equivalent to running through a comb filter, which gives (in my opinion) a weird "woody but also digital" sound. It's like a flanger effect that "doesn't move". Basically, it'll sound like an "off" version of the original piece. Comb filters are more often "used" by accident because there are two versions of a performance with delay times (for example, when two microphones record the same instrument).

    ~20 to ~50 milliseconds — Starts to sound like multiple performers playing the same piece, or like a "thicker" version of the original piece.

    ~40 to ~120 milliseconds — "Slapback" delay. It's starting to sound like multiple parts. Also makes parts sound "thicker", but very distinct to 50s music, blues, and rockabilly.

    ~150 milliseconds to several seconds — Starts to sound like an echo'ed version of the original piece.

    ~More than several seconds — One of two things could happen:

    1. The original piece has a rhythm, and the delay "syncs up" with it. Then, you get a new piece that hopefully sounds cool. If the delayed version is the same volume as the original version, the overall piece will get louder when the delayed version starts.
    2. Any other condition: It sounds (musically) incoherent to the listener, and will basically be perceived by the listener

    All of these delay effects are musically useful, but also serve as the prototypes for other effects. Additionally, digital equalizers are mathematically equivalent to a bunch of delays "stapled together" and rescaled.

  • Literally just put a "/s" and everyone will get your sarcasm.

  • Your post got locked by the mods.

  • First off, we don't masturbate into shoeboxs for years on end, and then allow the semen to accumulate, thus producing disgusting horrific clumps that need radioactive gloves to dispose of.

    Speak for yourself ☢️☢️📥💦 🍆😂

    We don't do the whole "What's in the safe?" posts.

    Because Lemmy is open-source, the contents of the safe are available to the public, so we don't need such posts

    And finally, everybody has already agree'd, I am the ultimate supreme master, and everybody has to give me all their money at all times. So, be prepared to cough it up, newbie.

  • There's like 40 of them lol. I personally like Voyager, but there are a bunch of really good options.

  • we kicked Biden out because he was supporting Israel

    Nah, the wealthy donors kicked him out because they lost confidence in him, ostensibly because of his health. They don't respond to the needs and opinions of their subjects.

    Is she really going full-swing into loosing support of the people?

    All day, because your support doesn't matter to the rulers and their paymasters.

    We need to demand that she steps down.

    Sure, but again your demands don't matter to the rulers and their paymasters.

  • Aaand it's been fixed as of 52 minutes ago. Bravo!

  • So because you reminded that Clown Core exists, I caught up with their recent discography on my phone with headphones. However, about five minutes ago the audio from computers on my phone "suddenly cut out". I think my mom started up her car, and because I connected the Bluetooth to the car at some point in the future past, the phone instantly decided "yeah let's pump the user's audio into this device, I'm sure that's what he wants", even though headphones were plugged in, without prompting me 😳.

    I.e., I think my mom got a few seconds of surprise Clown Core.

    She knows I like metal but I don't know how to explain this 🤣.

  • I was going to write up a similar argument, but does a gender exist if no one has it? Because then we might be able to "fill in the gaps" and get it to uncountably infinite.

  • A genocide monster has bowed out and endorsed another genocide monster. That’s the whole entire story here.

    Agreed

    That’s all the commentary and attention this new development deserves.

    But I need something to do when I'm procrastinating so I'm probably going to give this more attention than it deserves 😆

  • Decision 2024: Cop vs Felon Dictator

    Let's not throw a vulnerable group of people under the bus just to be lazy in expressing the absurdity of the situation. I got no beef with felons just because the State labels them as baddies.
