according to this video [0] the frequency was 84.2. that-s not unplausible.

a known problem in cutting vinyl records are sudden bursts of high volume frequencies around 100 hz, that have the potential to make the needle skip with a normal amount of weight on the tone-arm.

I remember reading that the bassline in LFO’s self titled broke the cutting needle when they were pressing it. Wonder if that had a similar explanation.


GUIL: Hm?

ROS: Yes?

GUIL: What?

ROS: I thought you...

GUIL: No.

ROS: Ah.


See now while I love this play I don't find that exchange notable. It's very plain, no? The implication is that one thought the other was going to say something but he wasn't. This exact dialogue takes place in real life regularly.

The alternative reading, where an entire exchange cleverly takes place without any substance, seems almost mistaken to me? In context it seems very clear it's "I thought you...[were going to say something.]" "No." "Ah."


No I think you are missing that what's funny about this exchange

It starts off with G thinking R has said something, but G is wrong - R didn't say anything. It ends up with G telling R he hadn't said anything, but again G is wrong, G started the whole thing off when he says Hm?

This is funny because R ends up thinking he'd imagined G saying something when infact the opposite happened.

It fits the characters well with G frequently being clever with no common sense and R having common sense but not being terribly smart.


This exact dialogue takes place in real life regularly.

One reason that it is funny is that it plays against that.

We the audience maybe forget for a moment that we are not watching real life. We are watching a drama or entertainment. So we expect something relevant to happen. That’s the convention.

The exchange plays with that expectation. It deliberately forces us out of our pleasant illusion and makes think us about our real experience - we are sitting in a seat and watching a performance, which is happening at that moment.

And nothing happens, just the same as real life


Yes, it's plain, banal, and even shallow; almost devoid of meaning. And there's genius in that. Who intentionally puts that in a play, without purpose?

It's the antithesis of Chekhov's Gun.


Sometimes, when lots of other people see cleverness but you only see empty banality, sometimes it’s a good idea to give a second thought.


Or you completely misunderstood my point.

At a surface read, it's banal.

In reality, it contains depth.


i don-t think so. the stage direction before that dialogue is:

(ROS and GUIL ponder. Each reluctant to speak first.)

if the dialogue should be clearly about who speaks first, wouldn-t the stage direction have been something like:

(ROS and GUIL ponder. Each reluctant to speak first. ROS tries to say something but does not) ?

i mean - you could play it like that. But then to me some of the beauty of that dialogue is lost, that comes from the fact that for the spectator it-s not clear what is the subject of it.


n 1978, at the University of London, the Physicist David T. Kemp made an unusual discovery. Kemp noticed that faint sounds, known as Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs), revealed the existence of the cochlear amplifier, a mechanism responsible for sound sensitivity and frequency resolution. This discovery proved that the ear is an active rather than passive organ. Following this discovery the experimental music world embraced these findings by incorporating them into sound works.

It's a pretty common recommendation to not leave the windows open like that :/. Poor thing.


maybe this helps:

"This is a minimal Emacs starter kit. Like, really minimal. Here's the short of the philosophy:

    Focus on using default, built-in Emacs behavior

    Yes, we all love our fancy third-party packages. This starter kit focuses on what is built-in to Emacs. Why? Because there are too many good packages and picking and choosing the best is a joy we leave to the user.

    Explain every customization and encourage modification

    The goal of this starter kit is to encourage end-user adaptation and growth. All of the .el files should be legible and, more importantly, justify in plain English the rationale for adding the configuration they do.

    No magic

    We keep things crushingly simple here. That means no fancy loadable modules or whatnot. Everything is as straight-forward as can be."

:) Hey! That’s my project! Let me know if you have any questions.


I came across this when setting up my new config, thanks for sharing!


szepanski reactivated the label some years ago. new releases can be found on bandcamp [1]. from 2014 onwards he also wrote several books on financial capital and marx based on laruelle, deleuze and lately especially baudrillard [2]. last year he published a "new theory of financial capital" [3], that also got published in china [4].

does anyone have info if this is fixed in ventura 13.6.1? https://support.apple.com/de-at/HT213985


I just installed 13.6.1 on an M1 MacBook Pro and am now facing the boot issue, so I'm guessing it's not fixed :). To make matters worse, the specific USB port required for the DFU revive fix is broken as well, which was never an issue as the other two worked... oof.


i remember vaguely that bettina heintz in her sociological study of the field of mathematics from 2000 noted the growing number of proofs that relied on computer programs as potentially problematic for the field.
