people who know a bit about electronics in music production: any idea why a few Roland and BOSS products have 12V AC inputs? most of their stuff uses the vastly more common 9V DC, and in general low-voltage AC seems like an uncommon thing. is there some reason it'd be useful?

“hentai” is a 米製和語 (beisei wago; “Japanese made in America”)

the 12-string guitar tone on a roland sound canvas is just two standard guitar tones layered with different tuning and envelopes. WAKE UP SHEEPLE

apparently, one possible giveaway for ai-generated art is the presence of what look like jpeg artifacts, but not present systematically, because (this person's conjecture) jpegs were part of the training data https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBUHDvY60l0

the unfinished death star from return of the jedi would make for an excellent 90's-style creative software splash screen

I wrote a proposal for memory safety in C++. It's in this month's WG21 mailing.

🔥🔥🔥 Sean is doing amazing work here, i hope this gets the reception it deserves. maybe there's hope for c++!

i hate how you can almost viscerally feel the end of the zirp with how every website has gotten more aggressive with trying to upsell you on its premium version. youtube no longer avoids showing ads where it would feel like it's too much; soundcloud is now deliberately annoying

Roland in the 1990's were unhinged. the Roland JV series line of synths has at least seven incompatible types of expansion cards and expansion boards that can be used across its various models. trying to comprehend it all will drive one to madness

guys i don't think communism is working for china. “the sky is high and the leading member of the standing committee of the political bureau of the central committee of the communist party of china is far away” just doesn't have the same ring to it
