    Yeah kinda silly, I mean the post title even is about “interesting data” - true or false, the data is interesting. What is the point of downvoting something literally just showing published data?! If you think the data is false/misleading/etc./etc./etc., that doesn’t take away from it being “interesting”, if anything it makes it more “interesting”, so how about stopping in and talking about it instead of just drive-by downvoting??


  • Typically volume of a track is chosen by the producer/person mixing. You could theoretically get an average volume and scale the tracks gain. This could have the effect of compressing or chopping parts of the song that are purposefully loud while the rest of the song is purposefully quiet.

    This is exactly it. Well, this and I’d say the fact that modern digital volume controls evolved from previous analog volume controls where you were literally just adjusting how much the input signal was amplified.

    But, back to the “this” - they have similar automatic compression options built in to a lot of AVRs too, often called something to the effect of ‘night mode’ or ‘midnight mode’, but they completely destroy the directors intention … take for example, a ‘scary’ movie with jump scares - the people are supposed to be whispering and somewhat hard to hear, making you strain to hear them, to increase the impact of the loud jump scare - if you compressed that enough (extreme example), you could probably take all the ‘scare’ right out of it. Varying volume within a single track/album/movie/show/etc., is intentional, and more often that not you would not want to compress that.

    Track to track and source to source variations are I suppose largely because of a lack of any standards.

    Oh you haven’t seen it … lucky you. Keep it that way. I am, indeed, telling the truth. I think at this point they’re just like “well, we have a contract for x more movies, so, really, we can do whatever the hell we want … let’s see just how stupid we can get”






  • “consumer privacy” in this case would be your safety while on said bicycle, imo, and square wheels will send you for a tumble.

    AI slop comes with security holes (see recent Tea business, and countless other examples). As a user of Proton services, paying actually quite a bit of money annually for that — and being that they talk a really big game about how secure and private they are — I expect their app to be MORE secure than your average mail client, not the same, and not very possibly LESS secure.







  • This.

    I’m like, 44 or something. Have experienced the same. Not like, three years ago, but not when I was your age either … somewhere in between. Looking back on it, it points to a very (now) clear gap I had in my life and relationships at the time, that the character, if real, and, if interested in me (or perhaps more accurately, were I the other party in the film), would have filled, perfectly. There is a reason they resonate so deeply with you. Identifying it can take a bit of the edge off - but actually finding it in real life (in a healthy way, in a healthy relationship, etc., etc.) is an even better solution.

    The absolute best solution is, upon identifying it, figuring out how to provide it for yourself, so you’re not demanding or expecting others to provide it for you - but that’s like, super bonus points, hidden secret level shit that most people don’t achieve their entire lives.
