@ringo @icedquinn must be some kind of approximation since IIRs are recursive.

@ringo @icedquinn IIRs being recursive is one of the reasons they're difficult to parallelise. but they are, musically speaking, pretty nice sounding.

@icedquinn @ringo i saw what you were going for, but sometimes, i wonder what would happen if you just had the computing power to run a neural network in real time to generate the output directly. might produce some fairly wild sounds.

the problem

@ChefsCatch @ned oh man, you can tell this is old.

"nubile"

@ChefsCatch @ned *finishes watching the video* well, yes, what he said.

@ChefsCatch @ned i live in a country that is probably as close as you can get to a "social-capitalist democracy"

the foundation is personal liberty and trade. on top of it, there are socialist elements.

it's not terrible but it's not great either. in some respect, i think the European/Nordic model holds us back a little. but it also prevents us from falling into the abyss. it's very much a compromise.

@ChefsCatch @ned and i think a defining trait of European politics is that a great decision is always immediately followed by a stupid one.

@ned i think the way you must think to understand the socialist mindset is this:

"we know that's what people tend to do. but we don't like it, so we want to fix it."

now i'm thinking about problems they had when trying to run worker's collectives in the early days of the Soviet Union.

what they discovered is that factory workers were keen to participate in top-level meetings at first, but they started getting bored with them, and eventually, only a small group would show up for the meetings.

those people became the management.

basically, a company structure emerged organically, despite best efforts to eliminate the hierarchy.

some broader information about the synth project:

our main competitor is the Clavia Nord Stage. a multi-purpose keyboard with a piano module, a synth module and an organ module.

Clavia is a Swedish company and they designed that.

we are Norwegian.

and we have some ideas. it's too early to reveal those. but the goal is to be more appealing as a product than the Clavia Nord Stage.

we will consider our project a success if we can sell one of them.

i wish there were more people from the KVR forums and MusicDSP.org from here. feeling a little lonely. where are my DSP friends?

you know, your average engineer thinks much, but doesn't THINK much.

he is smart and he solves the problem, but he doesn't question what he's doing and why he's doing it.

this is how and why Darth Vader was able to hire engineers for the Death Star.

"eh, i'm just clocking in and clocking out. it's a job!"

@alex okay, so that's an implementation detail. your usual HTTP client will return the redirected result i think, so it's effectively like having two addresses output the same thing. i said "it wouldn't hurt" but that was a figure of speech.

@alex i thought maybe you didn't do it because it could cause issues somehow - having the same object accessible via two keys - but maybe it doesn't?

@alex the last time i checked, it didn't. did you patch that in the last few days?

it wouldn't hurt if mostr.pub accepted npubs for the /object endpoint and not just hex keys @alex

@alex relay.mostr.pub should probably return a NIP-02 contact list event (kind 3) that returns who users follow and lists wss://relay.mostr.pub as a relay.

mostr.pub doesn't appear to return anything when queried like:

{
"kinds": [3],
"authors": [pubkey]
}

this would also explain why mostr.pub users are listed as not following anybody in most clients.

i'm writing a tool that looks at your follows/followers and lists the top relays they use, and naturally, relay.mostr.pub is going to be missing from that list since it uses NIP-02 records.

on some level, sw devs are the people who got lured into doing all the hard work while everyone else sits back

i'm too old to fall for that.
