Making art and writing just happens to be easy to automate with neural networks and machine learning, neither of which was originally researched for the purpose of replacing artists and writers.

Good luck disassembling a ship with a neural network. And maybe do some research about the difficulties of application-specific robotics.

I learned about this yesterday from a TheOdd1sOut video. The frequency illusion is real.

Base-3: 15 bits
Legal states only: 13 bits
Redundancy due to symmetry eliminated: 12 bits
Combining the previous two: I estimate 10 bits

15 bits is possible if you encode the state in base-3, where each digit represents one of the cells

That's an interesting way to spell proprietary

Was the personal computer invented by "John Computer"?

Man, if only there were a console that not only received perpetual support but could also emulate games from any other console and console generation. Even better if you could upgrade individual parts of the console instead of having to buy a new one every generation.

 

This post was apparently posted at 11:08 GMT+2, which is almost two hours in the future from now.

This is obviously a bug, but is it a frontend or a backend issue?

 

Two years ago, a feature was added to Android 12 where the previous audio source would fade out when a different source starts playing (e.g. you start a YouTube video while music is playing).

A post was made on XDA on 18 May, 2021:

Audio focus is determined by the app in question that's playing media. Google explained that when an app requests audio focus while another app has the focus and is playing, the framework forces the playing app to fade out. This will be a nice change because instead of another app abruptly ending its audio stream whenever the user starts another session, Android 12 will nicely fade out the old stream that's lost focus.

I remember being very impressed with this feature and found it satisfying every time. However, after buying a Samsung Galaxy A24 running Android 13, I was disappointed to discover that this feature is missing.

This is yet another reason why I can't wait to install a custom ROM on this phone. For now, though, I guess I'll just have to wait.

 

User jAm-0 has issues getting into and out of his phone's bootloader. He attributes this to the bootloader being corrupt and wants to replace it.

jAm-0 posts "Is it possible to re-flash the stock bootloader? I believe mine is corrupt somehow. It's a bit hard to explain how it's acting without actually seeing it, but it acts sporadic and barely works half the time. For example I can't reboot into the bootloader via adb, trying to power off the phone via bootloader doesn't work, and 9/10 times I try to turn my phone on it goes right to the bootloader."

User return.of.octobot provides instructions to allow reflashing the bootloader. One of the steps is to run fastboot flashing unlock_critical, which allows the bootloader to be overwritten.

Overwriting the bootloader is the only way to hard brick most devices, and fastboot flashing unlock_critical tells Android you don't care and are willing to take the risk. Hard bricking makes a device unfixable on the software level.

return.of.octobot provides instructions, including the step of running fastboot flashing unlock_critical, without any disclaimer

jAm-0 has another question and receives responses from return.of.octobot and another user, nrage23. Again, no disclaimers are given and the word "brick" isn't even brought up.

nrage23 responds to another question with "You have to do the flashing unlock critical if you have not to flash things like bootloader, boot, and modem."

jAm-0 hard bricks their phone.

after nrage23 responds to the same question, jAm-0 responds with "Great to know, thanks for the info. Too bad my phone is hardbricked now. Wont power on. Wont connect to pc. No fastboot. No recovery. Beautiful paper weight"

 
 
 

Think about it: Lemmy provides you with a ready-made frontend and backend


all you have to do is host your own instance of it. The following could all have been implemented as Lemmy instances, had it existed at the time:

Of course, these all have very different rules and frontends, but those can still be changed.

In addition, members of other instances can visit these forums without having to create new accounts, thanks to everything being federated.

Isn't that cool?

 
 

TL;DR How can I equalize my car speakers using an equalizer app like ViPER4Android on my phone?


I just equalized my headphones on my phone using ViPER4Android's convolver feature and a headphone-specific .wav file I got from AutoEq, and it sounds great. Unfortunately, AutoEQ only seems to support a limited range of sound devices, which does not include car sound systems.

I'm not an audiophile, but even I can tell that my car's system's frequency response is terrible, specifically in the low end, where there are specific frequencies that resonate through the car (especially noticeable when the bass frequency changes in a song).

As far as I know, AutoEq's files are made by playing something over the speakers, recording it with a high quality microphone and correcting it to match some pre-determined frequency response curve called an equalizer target. I was wondering if there's a way to replicate this process using my phone's microphone (I'm not after near-perfect sound quality here, just something that sounds reasonable), and if that would be the best way of going about this.

 

I couldn't find a solution on the internet when I had this problem, so I thought I might share this with other people who run into it.

 
 

Consistency

As you may know, a message written in one Reddit client doesn't display the same in another. Here's an example:

Example

```
First line
Second line
```

reddit.com and the official app both render this correctly:

First line
Second line

old.reddit.com, however, renders everything on one line:

First line Second line

They also differ in how they render subscripts with parentheses (a^(\(b\))), nested subscripts (a^b^c), and code blocks and lists that immediately follow text.

Lemmy doesn't have these issues, since its Markdown specification is clearly defined.

Images

On Reddit, if you want to add images to a text post, you have to use the Fancy Pants editor on reddit.com. If you attempt to edit such a post on the official app, a third-party app, old.reddit.com or the mobile site, these images simply turn into links. Additionally, you can't attach images in comments.

Lemmy lets you attach images from anywhere, including comments.
