cr1901 changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic.

Easy button reference? I don't get it otherwise
<alexisvl>
paperclip reference?
<qu1j0t3>
yes
<cr1901>
ahhh right
<qu1j0t3>
alexisvl: ltns!
<alexisvl>
o/
<cr1901>
We stick together here in ##yamahasynths, the channel that talks about anything retro at this point lol
<alexisvl>
i've been in here a while, just don't usually talk :)
<cr1901>
I appreciate your idling presence when you're not talking :D
<alexisvl>
feel like that was low key a roast :D
<cr1901>
Nope, sincere :)!
<andlabs>
apparently there were two paperclip incidents which makes it even better?
<andlabs>
I only saw the one ont he compaq
<alexisvl>
loool
<andlabs>
anyway my current mood is "oh no, what will the damage to the demoscene (which btw is one word, which is already sign enough) be"
<andlabs>
(I'm tired of his mangling of history and he should stop talking about it. stick to repairs)
<andlabs>
(and also mangling of basic technical facts as well, actually)
<cr1901>
>and also mangling of basic technical facts as well, actually
<cr1901>
This is my gripe w/ him even before all the controversy. Of course if I point it out I'm a pedantic ass whose jealous that he didn't win the retrocomputing spokesperson lobby
<cr1901>
(it's me, I'm pedantic ass)
<andlabs>
oh I can point fingers and complain about all the youtubers if you want
<cr1901>
Let's not. Gravis/CathodeRayDude has a nice thread that summed up my feelings much better than I ever could
<andlabs>
I will say this: I did not watch the dremel video because it was a computer warehouse video
<andlabs>
I don't watch those, regardless of who makes it
<andlabs>
those kinds of things just make me sad
<andlabs>
everything will be picked clean and the market will just rise
<andlabs>
spider web reset
<andlabs>
so I had to learn that after the fact, and while it's still very reckless and irresponsible, I would be lying if I said I did not do reckless and irresponsible things in the name of repairs
<andlabs>
*stares at his still-in-pieces X68000*
<andlabs>
yes I technicallys aid two things just now sue me
* alexisvl
files suit immediately
* alexisvl
wins
<alexisvl>
woo. you now owe me one million dollars
<andlabs>
I still don't know what I'm going to do with this thing
<andlabs>
got to get some component powered up on its own somehow
* cr1901
helps andlabs escape to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism... oh wait...
<alexisvl>
just fire me into the depths out outer space
<alexisvl>
of* dammit
<andlabs>
yes I think tha twas the joke
<andlabs>
and yes I have been an extremely Angry person lately

They call it the depth of outer space, but it's further outside of the Earth's gravity field so it's contradictions all the way down.
<tunixman>
OOoh! I did work with the Deep Space Network crew that resuscitated Galileo! They were pretty excellent hombres, definitely rough around the edges, which at the time I had trouble with, but now I think we'd get along well.

cool @ tunixman
<tunixman>
it was a wild time... my misspent youth.
* qu1j0t3
grabs an eraser and scrubs out `mis-`
<tunixman>
speaking of signal processing I'm working through some wavelet transforms to try and detect gravitational waves.
<qu1j0t3>

apologies for the lame obvious jokes
<alexisvl>
i'm mostly on irc for lame obvious jokes
<qu1j0t3>
still, i think you should expect some minimum standard
<qu1j0t3>
tunixman: I could really do a stint in space/astronomy right now, i'm at the end of my rope with Industry COde
<alexisvl>
<qu1j0t3> still, i think you should expect some minimum standard <-- standards? me? pfft
<tunixman>
yeah, seriously... this is for kaggle, I'm just trying my hand at some signal extraction. I saw everyone else using someone's STFT renderings, which doesn't seem sensible, so I'm trying wavelets instead.
<tunixman>
May as well use my music education for something.
<andlabs>
for kaggle?
<tunixman>
yeah, for kaggle.
<cr1901>
What's a standard?
<qu1j0t3>
well i can see now why i'm allowed to be here!
<tunixman>
a standard is something that is determined by bakeoffs and not by an actual implementable specification.
<andlabs>
the great british technical handwringing event
<qu1j0t3>
lol
<qu1j0t3>
you mean just a british... event then
<tunixman>
yeah, basically...
<tunixman>
Except they were all done here in the US with US companies and US DoD overseers.
<tunixman>
Because it's the global internet.
<tunixman>
ah yes the benefits treadmill.
<tunixman>
wait sorry wrong window.
<qu1j0t3>
today has been a mixed bag hasn't it.
<tunixman>
several kinds of shit and piss homogenized into a uniform mixture, lit on fire, and thrown on everyone's porch.
<tunixman>
I'm assuming they used a fluoride accelerant or something to burn the water.
