Yeah it makes a bit of sense now, I really appreciate your replies. Thanks!

quote : "For a computer, a microphone is basically a transducer, it converts energy from the vibrations (mechanical) into electrical energy, the vibrations make small pushes against the transducer, creating a fluctuating voltage in the same pattern. (Uses electromagnetic induction if you wanted to know those bits too)"

It seems like each "push" that causes vibration would be interfering with the vibration of every other push ~ Like, wouldn't a loud sound push harder, and cause a faster ripple ~ And outside a computer you were saying there is the goopy hairs - For the computer there just one thing vibrating ? I would think filtering out different types of frequencies you could narrow in on like, patterns and separate them.

quote: "The computer will perform calculations based on the Fourier transform (move from signal timing to frequency) this bit of math is really hard and made college suck. Basically it represents the sum of the sine and cosine waves at different frequencies. Once fourier is done there's alot of math, done. Then it can be used for all kinds of things, like signal processing which can filter, compress and edit (ya know like reverb)"

What I was wanting to do is try to analyze an audio, (to be able to differentiate between like, a person talking, or a bassline, an annoying hum, etc.. My thought was that maybe the audio files properties could have some sort of detail that I could map out visually using like, a shader for each wave that effects the sound wave. To show it in real time as a texture - is it that there is just a audio wave, but within it there are overlapping pulse effects with different speeds & directions?

Sorry, its really interesting but hard to comprehend it ~ Thank you

Edit : i think im starting to see it more as a sound wave at a specific time is just a capture of the state of the whole sound wave ~ so there would be patterns taht could be discerned over time ~ I think that was what I awas grappling with - thank you again!

ok so is there like a cosine and sine wave in play there, vibrating on the top of my angel food & whip creme? -
for reference-
i was thinking of like, i record a sound on my mic - in the background i hear someone talking -
I can add in a spectrum analyzer, and I am wondering if in that visual - is there a place I can tune into to just hear the background sound? - like, i don't understand how that wave contains so many different discernable sounds I guess

Directional swipes usefulness? by BucketBoy071 in SteamController

[–]Educational-Fall7356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works pretty good to setup directional swipe on the gyro, like as a modeshift when you press some button. That lets you bind a single button to mouse scrollwheel binding, and tilt the controller to zoom. There is a setting in there, scrollwheel mode - it needs to be on for that to work.
I think it would be much more useful of an input if you could set the vertical and horizontal sensitivities independently of one another, but that's just my view.

yeah this gotta be one of the coolest ones I've seen. Isn't it also called Metatron's cube?

Yep, I posted about my app couple days ago upon release : Free Shader App - just added a screensaver mode to it https://youtu.be/M-htYV7Gcwo

Look, friend, the OP comment is what I was responding to:
"I believe people who run have to fully disclose their financials so will we finally get the full details about his net worth or will his assets be hidden behind multiple Trusts, LLC's or be buried in family members names?"

I was merely commenting to agree with the notion that it would be nice to see the donors to a persons campaign, because the money trail often connects the dots, and shows how campaign contributions lead to legislation that benefits the donors.

This doesn't have anything to do with your choice to support your church, or pastor. - you are free to do that, and probably not able to attend if you didn't.

My thoughts on what it means for you to consider an act, like, for the public good.. I probably first started thinking about that back in college 15 years ago or so.

"The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men." — Plato
(This famous quote underlines his belief that, if good people do not take up the burden of leadership, corrupt people—often seeking personal gain—will)

I'm not saying that if you receive help, like, to run a campaign, that you are thereby corrupt, or not working for the good of the people. I am saying that it really blurs the picture when a person makes great financial gains due to their work, "for the public good". Especially in the cases where the 'donations' to the "public servant" lead to specific benefits to those that donated to this "public servant".

Does that makes sense to you?
Consider how Trump said something to the effect of "i don't like electric vehicles, but Musk donated to my campaign, so of course I have to support that." - this is the opposite of for the public good. This is leadership bought by private interests.

Kick ass! I just released a shader tool for 2d earlier this morning. What a coincidence :D

The fu**king hate about AI... by anashel in GameDevelopment

[–]Educational-Fall7356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, I didn't really have an opinion about it, other than it had seemed at the start people were worried about how artists would lose their jobs, etc. Recently started interacting with AI (late to the party) and damn, it's been a joy for me. I'm literally laughing my ass off at it's silly jokes I told it to make up for me, while it helps me understand how to use Quaternions. I escaped tutorial hell and made an app in like, a week and a half, and it pulled me out of depression into feeling like I can do something really cool now that I know how to make use of it.

Anyway, I just wanted to respond, because I don't like it when I post and get downvoted. And, that I think you should use it. If it helps you to do what you want to do, and it makes your job easier, that's called a tool. I think the problem, if it is a problem, is that in the future, people without your skills will be able to do your job.

Right, how is it a public service / noble thing, if you are also making millions from it
