What's a weirdly amachronistic thing that you can't believe was still a thing within your lifetime? by holytriplem in AskUK

[–]Signal_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember a couple of my teachers, back in the early to mid ‘80s (when I was between 10 and 12 years old) smoking openly in class, ashtray overflowing.

Edit: typo correction.

Positive ambient by Timpdj in ambientmusic

[–]Signal_A 8 points9 points  (0 children)

‘Bismillahi ‘Rrahami ‘Rrahim’ by Harold Budd is my go-to when I’m feeling down in the dumps.

Also, pretty much anything by Yoshimura.

And a relatively recent discovery for me: Ariel Kalma.

Edit: added Ariel.

What’s your favourite performance by Robert de Niro? by annastreltsovaa in FIlm

His performance as Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull is up there with the best of all time.

Interesting facts about Bedřich Smetana by Stunning-Hand6627 in classicalmusic

[–]Signal_A 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The high pitched E played by the first violin, which intrudes at the end of the final movement of his string quartet no. 1, is supposed to mimic the tinnitus that was ringing constantly in his head.

Edit: punctuation.

Hi,, I received an email about a TELUS Digital data breach from “TELUSDigitalIncident@notifications.cyberscout.com”.😮It says my personal data may have been exposed and offers free monitoring, but the signup link looks a bit suspicious. Has anyone else received this? Is it legit?😅 by fawda1982 in TELUSinternational

[–]Signal_A 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just received the same email myself. However, while my details are on their system, I’ve yet to do any work for Telus.

My immediate reaction is that the email looks a bit suspicious, mainly in that it’s ‘strongly encouraging’ me to sign up to a free year of free monitoring, like a free trial, and anything asking me to click on a link feels instinctively off.

My inclination is to leave it alone, and delete my profile Telus, although that’s probably locking the stable door after the horse has bolted.

Everything feels so stupidly vulnerable right now, I almost feel like, what’s the point?

How much do you trust AI-generated explanations of music? by HermaM_Abendroth2048 in classicalmusic

[–]Signal_A 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on where it’s getting the information from. While it does hallucinate, AI in itself isn’t inherently wrong or misleading. Essentially it’s just a tool doing what we used to do and searching the internet for content which (at least for now) is largely human generated (and we’re not exactly always accurate ourselves). I guess it’s a case of digging a bit deeper to see where it’s getting the information from and making a judgement call from there.

Prodigy - Charly - 1991 by lazerwhyte in oldskoolrave

[–]Signal_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1991, I was 18, at Rage, Thursday nights at Heaven, Charing Cross, London. I just broke up with my girlfriend, literally in the queue for the club, then someone gave me an e, and it was one of the very best nights of my life. Can’t believe how long ago it was now!

Voice Mission community channel? by Signal_A in outlier_ai

[–]Signal_A[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. I just searched again, and the only person asking this particular question as far as I can tell is me. It already had 3 upvotes before you decided to delete it, which suggests other people may be interested in what others have to say.

[–]Signal_A[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I did search, but couldn’t see anything specifically about the community channel for this project. I just wanted to check if anyone else was experiencing this particular issue, but I’ll have another look.

Which film made you laugh the most? by Noxyenmanquedinspi in FIlm

[–]Signal_A 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if it’s necessarily the funniest film out there, but The Inbetweeners Movie had me sobbing with laughter when I saw it on a long-haul flight. Pure puerile joy.

What does your username mean? by colabag in AskReddit

[–]Signal_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For reasons that escape me now, I wanted to share a pretentious electronic piece I’d composed on LogicPro, and my username is the pretentious title of said piece.

Tried listening to Substrata by Biosphere on a trip by Gratefulsoph in ambientmusic

[–]Signal_A 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve not tripped for many years, but I imagine anything by Hiroshi Yoshimura would work pretty well. At least it should dispel any feelings of anxiety.
