It’s really simple.

Sound is air vibrations at different strengths (volume) and frequencies (pitch). Taller waves are loud. Thinner waves are higher pitched. The math looks like this:

Volume * sin( Pitch * time)

Generally, low pitch sounds are louder and easier to see in a sound wave. A kick is really easy to spot. The rest of the weird janky movement of the sound wave is like a bunch of these equations added up to create the sound… generally.

The trick to understanding sound is that it’s a difference over time. The change in pressure is registered by your brain. A record player is literally just the physical transcription of this math and the speaker is just oscillating back and forth to reproduce the sound.

Okay maybe it’s not super simple, but I hope this helps.

Me laughing in superiority before realizing going to bed at 2:30 and waking up at 6:30 is the same thing (i’m tired)

He just legitmizes religion via decorated logical fallacies. The go-to intellectual for religious people.

Reddit seems to be in purge mode so that the AI doesn’t develop too many problematic leftist opinions. I was looking back to an old post critizing CS Lewis and the comments were absolutely nuked since my last visit.

I can hate MS teams shitty app, or how they are using AI to blow up kids in Gaza. I still get value out of a platform like Windows, GitHub, or co-pilot. I would rather be coding on a framework laptop with an offline AI on fedora linux with a vpn and locked down firefox and codium, but that’s just not what I’m running with at my job.

You seem interested in coding, why not try coding something simple yourself?

Actually, the first script for the app I did myself. It was a calculation taken out of excel. I made it with better decision-making and compliance to standards. It was simple, but I used AI to review and realized the gap between my speed and skill and the AI, which is where the dependence began. The codebase is well beyond 10,000 at this point, but it’s pretty close to done.

This was done in python, but I mostly dabble in engineering hobbies using C, my favorite being my QMK split keyboard. Again, lot of dependence, but in both cases, I’m learning way more than I ever did spending $40k at college. I should look up software engineering because it seems interesting.

Hey all, vibe coder here. Let me preface with a fuck microsoft.

Anyway, I’m not in a programming job, just a tedious one with decent pay. Since I am tech savvy and they have no trainers to bring up my proficiencies, I spend down time vibe coding my job.

It was a real piece of shit at first, but then co-pilot transformed me into some sort of code architect wizard. I am certainly not a programmer, but I know how to map out where functions and classses should live, and how the folder hierarchy should look. Yelling OOP, “best practices”, DRY and what the “tree /f” should look like helps a lot. Also being really snarky when it’s wrong or it’ll just plow along.

I want to discuss because I think we all agree to some extent that AI is the next surveillance tool and we’re probably the biggest targets for big corpro. Like, is using it maybe awful? Or maybe my success with AI is more correlated witb my effort than the tool? Is anyone else seeing incredible return from their ventures with AI? Do you see your bosses peddle AI but don’t understand any meaningful ways to apply it?

That sounds romantc. If whoever said that was around today, they might see that the male loneliness epidemic is just a bunch of incel adjacents cowards crying about how society needs to sexually validate them.
