Are you a professional [earning most of your money through your art]? Which country do you live in please?
I've only seen the self-curation from community groups. I'm all for collectives but I'm pretty sure the professional artists I know would say it gives off budget/desperate vibes and so it's something you can't afford to do if you aspire to 'make it [big]'.
{I express myself through overuse of parentheses and through runon sentences...}
Could you have some sort of tee, so instead of dedicating a channel you multiplexed a second extra-audible signal (outside the audible range) onto the same channel? Or perhaps send a really low frequency signal over the cable sheath??
For my tool i don't really think that's possible as of now, through OSC you don't get the audio signal (afaik), maximum the level at some precision.
Also general audio stuff is from 20-20khz, so you don't really have headroom to super(or sub?) impose another signal into it frequency wise, as it would be audible. (Unless you sacrifice some parts with a high/low cut on the original signal.)
Although you could have 48khz sampling rate on most audio gear, so you could do time-multiplexing if you are really desperate, but then all signals need processing before becoming useful/noiseless.
About the cable sheath, of course you can do anything with custom circuits, but general audio stuff will not help you in that as far as i know.
If you ask it because of controlling the cam with a mute status felt out-of-place for you, then: no it's not wasting any channels. As someone above already explained very precisely above, the thing is you don't want to have live and unused microphones on your setup, due to feedback, extra noise, etc.
So if the speaker is speaking, the band is muted, if the band is playing the speaker is muted. And this can be used (in our case, not always for everyone), to track where the event is happening, and the camera can turn at the right position based on this. Therefore we, in our usecase could eliminate an extra step for someone to manage the camera by hand.
By the way, many consoles have extra buttons/knobs that are assignable to random stuff, so through OSC i could query their states as well and i could set up camera movement with those as well if i wanted to.
Suppose (made up scenario) we can stop a million phones being discarded every week by mandating that camera modules have to be replaceable by third-parties.
We can drop that legislation tomorrow, basically no problem.
Are you gonna say, no we have to wait and do cars first because a car is equal in carbon to 20 phones (or whatever).
Cars are one of the large container targets, but it takes years to change urban environments, to build transportation infrastructure, to change building zones, etc., to prepare the way for people using alternative transport (or none). Unless you can win over your citizens (and politicians who are in lobbies pockets) for a grand plan like 'no more new cars from now on'.
That cars are such a slow mover is the reason that we need to focus on it now, rather than later.
I don't think you hypothetical would change even a tiny fraction of phone replacements, but even if it did, legislative bandwidth in the US is extremely low and should be reserved for the high impact changes. Anything that distracts from the must-do messages is quite likely to be harmful.
We make people jump through all sorts of hoops for plastic straws and plastic bags that have approximately zero environmental win compared to far smaller changes to their car use.
The real problem is the social attitude that cars can not be touched or criticized. That needs to start changing.
Our phones are not the core of climate change, our cars and all the massive environmental damage from mining the necessary minerals for them really are.
Yes, but on the internet someone in the UK can just get a connection to some server in Ethiopia hosting this vast treasure trove of works. So maybe not de jure, but probably de facto.
Edit: And maybe it is de jure too for those on a ship on the high seas?
Pirate radio worked, but listeners don't make a copy, ... it's a good question, I think if you fixed the work long enough to read/watch a text/video then it would be considered to be at least contributory infringement.
Idiomatic is the word the parent was looking for. The base word is idiom.
It was probably the intent of the parent to mean 'making use of the particular features of the language that are not necessarily common to other languages'.
I'm not a programmer, but you appear to give good examples.
I hope I'm not teaching you to suck eggs... {That's an idiom, meaning teaching someone something they're already expert in. Like teaching your Grandma to suck eggs - which weirdly means blowing out the insides of a raw egg. That's done when using the egg to paint; which is a traditional Easter craft.}
I actually did find "idiomatic" when I looked it up, but I honestly still didn't quite grasp it from the cambridge dictionary. Thanks for explaining it in a way I understand.
In programming Idiomatic is used to reference a programming language’s “best practices” and “style guide”. Obviously programming languages can solve problems in many different ways, but they often develop a “correct way” that matches their design or the personality of their influential community members. Following this advice is Ideomatic. Next time your coworker has their style wrong you can say “I don’t think this is Idiomatic” :D
Holland, England and Scotland all work. So does Myanmar, but not Burma. Deutschland works, but not Germany. Probably just an overly literal filter based on a static list of countries.
I assume it's more a part of explicitly programmed set of responses than it is a standard inference. But you're right that I should be cautious.
ChatGPT, for example, says it can retrieve URL contents (for RAG). When it does an inference it then shows a message indicating the retrieval is happening. In my very limited testing it has responded appropriately. Eg it can talk about what's on HN front page right now.
Similarly Claude.ai says it can't do such retrieval - except through API use? - and doesn't appear to do so either.
Depends, the 'can you' (or 'can I get') phrasing appears to be a USA English thing.
Managers often expect subordinates to just know what they mean, but checking instructions and requirements is usually essential and imo is a mark of a good worker.
"Can you dispose of our latest product in a landfill"...
Generally in UK, unless the person is a major consumer of USA media, "can you" is an enquiry as to capability or whether an action is within the rules.
For Hi-Fi systems, MDI was skeuomorphism too. Actual sound systems had separate boxes that did graphical equaliser function, amplifier function, tape function, CD player function, etc.
When portable CD players were still chunky companies would give them a bit more funk, buttons that followed the curves of the device and such. Similarly, before MP3 players went tiny there was some extra space for a bit more design that some Winamp skins would mimic.
'you cannot sue us for not doing the only thing you are paying us for (delivering your goods)' sounds like an inconscionable clause. Surely any worthwhile legal system would make such clauses illegal. Otherwise many scams (fake invoicing, for example) would be essentially legal as long the perp buried a clause in a contract.
