punkman: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-10-11#1061089 << I think it's more that "old code" and "doesn't have 1000 eyes on it that would find the bugs" , rather than the segwit stuff

asciilifeform also read verisimilitude's recent post, but must forgo to comment, as asciilifeform's ergonomics advice has not cured e.g. whaack or mats, fucked hands are a seriously individual matter and folx had best try to find honest doctors somewhere
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-10-10 18:34:27 scoopbot: New post on A Syndication of Verisimilitudes: Experiences with Alleviating Pain
asciilifeform: purported 'ergonomic' comp hardware is 100% bullshit, however, without any possible doubt imho.
vex: what if you had tiny cameras strapped to your wrists, so you could type chords in the air or anywhere?
vex: I can imagine alf walking dc chucking gang signs at 300wpm
mats: talon voice is really fast, i highly recommend it
mats: i dropped a lot of money on a nice mic, like $1600 on a dpa 4188 and interface, but talon is so accurate now that i rarely see errors when i just use my airpods
mats: its so fast that i don't really feel constrained by having to use voice instead of typing anymore
vex: that's pretty cool. i'd never heard of it
vex: eye tracking too huh?
vex: shinohai'd be double clicking on every nice arse
vex: btw shin, I'd like to propose adding some info(value) to busybot
vex: 10/10 economists are wrong
vex: commie chanops notwithstanding
vex: I think, maybe, if it's not a crime, that volatility could be described and calculated more betterly
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-10-12#1061153 << this is a riotously terrible idea (sadly hasn't stopped folx from doing it -- repeatedly, see various 'gesture gloves' etc since '70s) and i'ma elaborate why
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-10-12 19:43:06 vex: what if you had tiny cameras strapped to your wrists, so you could type chords in the air or anywhere?
asciilifeform: vex: ever used a crossbow ?
asciilifeform: what happens when you 'dry fire' it?
asciilifeform: ... eventually the spring tears. because the energy has 'nowhere to go' but into tearing up the spring.
asciilifeform: your hands are exactly the same in this respect. they are not built to work against empty air.
vex: I kinda assumed you'd be rtunning two watches from birth or whatever
asciilifeform: yer fingers need tactile feedback to give the muscle power somewhere to go; as well as to come to a comfortable stop before smashing into immovable object (keyboard bottom, desk)
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-06-14 13:52:16 asciilifeform: whaack: the click is a tactile 'stop'. (while the spring effectively absorbs energy)
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-10-12#1061159 << ditto eyes. they were not built to be used as a cursor. i rec to save the eye mouse for quadriplegic etc, when nuffin else worx
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-10-12 20:35:49 vex: eye tracking too huh?
asciilifeform: ( even the paralytics, notice, are going in for oddball electrodes-in-brain experiments. cuz they want to keep their eyes. )
vex: I think the camera just watches your eyes
asciilifeform: vex: what of it ? yer still abusing the eyes by cursoring with'em
vex: Oh yes.
vex: It must be taxing
vex: even if the trackball isn't hard up against your wetware
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-10-12#1061156 << can't resist to lul at the 'audiophiliac' golden toilet (thing loox entirely like it has entirely ordinary fiddycent chinese piezo in it)
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-10-12 20:19:52 mats: i dropped a lot of money on a nice mic, like $1600 on a dpa 4188 and interface, but talon is so accurate now that i rarely see errors when i just use my airpods
vex: bingo spent coin on mic too
asciilifeform: unless yer trying to sound e.g. precisely like the fuhrer at 1938 ralley, and need ~that~ specific mic -- ~100 $ has you covered imho
vex: some cats value differnet qualities. if it was coming out of asciilifeforms factory, would cost exactly cost
asciilifeform: anyways asciilifeform's pov re subj is that : the answer to having damaged 1 organ by terrible abuse is not to do the same to yet another organ.
vex: what's damaged? I must have missed that chapter
asciilifeform: vex: hands
asciilifeform: thrd was orig re folx who blew their wrists/carpal/etc
vex: ah. I assumed you had the unbreakable gene/method
asciilifeform: i dunthink there is such a thing as unbreakable hands
asciilifeform quite convinced that the diff is in re whatcha do with'em
vex: noone ever teaches you how to approach a kb
vex: I don't think anyone knows
vex: It's be interesting to compare those without the problems to those that have
asciilifeform can offer only the observation that he doesn't type >10kB on a typical day.
vex: of course
asciilifeform: editors w/ proper text completion, plus good dose of laziness, is imho the ticket. that plus decent (at least 8mm travel, with actual spring) kb, adjustable table/chair etc.
vex: fiddles, saws, and other tools have been around longer than kbs
asciilifeform: vex: nobody fiddles (or saws) for 12+hr straight, lol
vex: the centuries have proscribed a way to do it tho
asciilifeform: folx loading bricks onto trucks also aint doing a 100% duty cycle.
vex: do it correctly and slowly, speed will come.
asciilifeform: it's actually repeated, ~small~ (i.e. painless) abuse that wrecks you.
asciilifeform: afaik the 1st known cases of carpalism were among telegraphers in 1800s. 'glass hand disease'
vex: lots of people get it
asciilifeform: today yes
vex: usually hard fucking workers
vex: can't take a bottle of rhum for your malaise if you've gotta think at full rpm in the morning
asciilifeform: varies.
vex: lol. you're su
asciilifeform has done time at salt mines where liquor was kept on the premises
asciilifeform: right here in washingtonistan.
vex appreciates the virtues
vex: Indeed, I suspect if employed by alf industries, would have no problems
asciilifeform speaking of which, must bbl
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-10-12 21:33:06 asciilifeform: unless yer trying to sound e.g. precisely like the fuhrer at 1938 ralley, and need ~that~ specific mic -- ~100 $ has you covered imho
vex: is that your podcast dan?
dpb: not my site, and i think the podcast related to it is discontinued, but the info is still good
dpb: i got the recommended mic for doing karaoke at home, and may get into podcasting or music recording in the future
vex: shit, we should sign up bingoboingo and make a joint.
BingoBoingo: my mic is a AT2020USB, ~100 mic when I got it inside Uruguay
vex: got any karakoke gals to sing the melody?
BingoBoingo: Meh, step intern's got other shit on her plate. Music turns out to be a game that requires an existing audience to break in to
vex: have u read the manul?
vex: sorry dpb, this is another bible
BingoBoingo: vex, mic is simple. USB-B square in, on other side of cable you just need whatever USB your target devices has to plug in. Just works.
BingoBoingo had, enthusiastically resold Shure MV-7 with a bunch of software defined shits. AT2020USB simply has volume dial and monitor mix dial.
vex: I had an 808 emulator on windows 3
vex: i thought so
BingoBoingo: Step sequencers are pretty cool. It's like programming your drumset
vex: maybe was 95. i forget
BingoBoingo working on buyer for my Korg Volcas. 16 steps not enough. Roland MC-101 with 128 steps over 4 tracks, enough
BingoBoingo: Unlike the volcas the MC-101 also works as MIDI "Keyboard" and USB audio interface to drive the good enough JBL 104s
vex: apologies. the poteroos that stave off the solar storms were on smoko
BingoBoingo: Acoustic foam, listening and recording aside vastly improves quality of life in concrete land
mats: in my experience the effect of acoustic foam is negligible
mats: 2x4 panels with a 2in thickness are much more effective
BingoBoingo: They must be
mats: if you put panels in corners, you end up needing fewer panels per room
vex: you gotta be running some bteer drivers than airpods mats
mats: bluetooth sucks and there's nothing i can do about it
mats: but the active noise cancelling on the airpods pro is pretty good
vex: i tried em. theye good
mats: the d:fine 4288 capsule core is, SNR: 66 dBA, THD: <1% at 137 dB SPL, Dynamic range: 111 dB, Max input: 144 dB SPL
vex: blutooth allowd jetliners nao
mats: while a random aliexpress component is, SNR: 61 dBA, THD: <3% at 105 dB SPL, Dynamic range: 87 dB, Max input: 120 dB SPL
vex: there's a new pro pod coming soon
vex doesn't drink on a jetliner
mats: one of the things that sucks about bluetooth is that i can't have stereo audio input at the same time the mic is live
mats: it gets forced to mono
vex: really? i didn't know that
vex: I just shut my mouth on the plane. shit down shut up
vex: you cant get stereo mic while you're listening in stero?
vex: I'll deffo buy a mats headset
mats: er, i can't get stereo sound while the mic is live
vex: fuck, that is weird
vex: *wierd even
