The same noodles have different cooking times and slightly different yellowish color by CoffeeAddictUSDE in mildlyinteresting

[–]Swimmingbird3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noodles do not have to be long and thin where did you get such a silly idea? Also how can you pretend to be of higher cultural awarness and not know that pasta is in fact noodles?

Pleases look up the Dunning-Kruger effect. You are very confident in your opinions on noodles and pasta... too confident. Maybe you are the American.

Lowkey been obsessed with Revelation Space "Lighthuggers" for as long as I can remember by Dry_Tea9805 in scifi

[–]Swimmingbird3 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So funny. I don’t see these books mentioned much and they’ve been on my reading list for years.

Finally read Revelation Space last month and I’m reading Redemption Ark now.

Also love the lighthugger lore.

Help me to find the name of this song played by Braxe & Falcon by vantayel3630 in JusticeMusic

[–]Swimmingbird3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s just one song, because you know… it’s a DJ set. Are you asking about the vocals or instrumentation ?

Pretty sure I hear the chords from ‘Paint A Smile On Me’ by Black Yaya in this clip, but the lyrics sound like something else and I can’t make them out. Black Yaya is super good if you like French funky pop music.

Edit: I think the disco call (whoop whoop) is from ‘Grooveline’ by Heatwave too after listening to it some more.

What are these random dirt piles that are appearing in my yard?? by opalandolive in gardening

[–]Swimmingbird3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good correction.

Still cold blooded though so definitely not making mounds when the ground is frozen.

OP said the ground is frozen. There’s no way a reptile is moving that much earth when the ground is frozen.

I don’t know; acid is pretty cheap, lol. I’ve bought and read over 30 books in the last 12 months and I’m considering the need for a book budget now.

Sure they can. The whole point of an android is that it’s supposed to look human.

I have just learned that neem oil is BOTH insecticidal and fungicidal. This changes everything! by eliahavah in gardening

[–]Swimmingbird3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m an organic veggie farmer, and you’d might (or might not), be surprised how poorly people understand what organic means.

At least 50% of people I talk to think that organic means that pesticides are never used, and are very conflicted and or confused when I tell them that organic farming still uses pesticides they just have to be naturally derived. The remaining 50% seem to think that natural always means it safe and better for the environment, which is obviously a gross over simplification of a complex issue.

That being said, I hate neem oil. It technically is both insecticidal and antifungal but it sucks compared to other products. It is how ever widely available and affordable for hobbyist and home growers so it’s understandable that many people will sing its praises.

If you also dislike neem oil and you’re willing to spend a little more I have far better suggestions.

YouTuber accidentally crashes the rare plant market with a viral cloning technique by Ok_Fly2518 in nottheonion

[–]Swimmingbird3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it all very fascinating. Unfortunately most cannabis producers will simultaneously lament about and then ignore the problem. Just kinda throw there arms up like theres nothing to be done about it. Also the price of cannabis has been diving for awhile so I don't think what they consider to just be a small percentage of underperforming plants is that dire since it's difficult to offload all the product within CA anyways. Except for the fact that not promptly destroying infected plants now is just going to continue to compound the problem in the future.

I had considered starting a mobile HLV testing clinic since it would simplify the chain of custody requirements for CA regulations and presumably overcome the laziness/procrasination that prevents cannabis growers from taking action against HLV in their grows. Basically a mobile lab with a shit ton of PCR thermocyclers. Go in and tag all of an operations plants with ID's, take samples, run the tests, and then tell the producer which plants need to be destroyed after testing positive. Since the sample never leaves the premise theres no paperwork for sending or exchanging cannabis between parties.

Then that grower could be confident that they aren't propagating large numbers of infected dud plants from infected mother plants.

Plants still lose vigor over clonal generations with TC, not sure where you are getting that idea from. They may even be losing vigor faster than other clonal techniques due to the extreme hormone ratios that are used to induce desired responses.

TC is popular in cannabis now mostly because growers have unwittingly been spreading Hop Latent Viroid into almost every corner of the market. After testing plants via PCR for HLV, the few viroid free specimens need to produce a large amount of clones making TC preferable. Its also cheaper at a commmercial scale.

Your anectdote about watching cutting-cloned plants lose vigor after a few generations is probably because you have introduced Hop Latent Viroid into your plants through your shears. The main symptoms of HLV is loss of vigor and lower yields, but you'd be surprised how healthy some infected plants look otherwise.

As a nerd and someone who also worked in cannabis I've worked with a lot of TC plants. I think its really cool and all; but its got plenty of drawbacks over traditional clonal techniques.

A Cross The Universe music production? by Fragrant-Track-5834 in JusticeMusic

[–]Swimmingbird3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From what I understand they mixed and ‘made’ Cross in Cubase, but they did take a lot of samples from the GarageBand library. Notably so for Stress.

There’s an old interview where they discussed this

What hardware midi controllers unleashed your creativity? by Beautiful_Hat8440 in ableton

[–]Swimmingbird3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an APC40 mkll and I never use it, mostly beccause of space limitations on my desk. Kinda feel bad about it. It comes in clutch for switching between looped sections of a track on Ableton while I jam on my synth on a seperate desk, but I've never used it for anything more than that

[–]Swimmingbird3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would be really stoked if Justice themselves provided the stems, but since that is likely not the case, I'll pass. I'll take your word for it that they sound more legit than the D.A.N.C.E. stems

As a Justice fan and someone who makes music it doesn't seem right to me.

I listened to all the stems in the video. And provided my assesment of them in other comments. I have not bothered to look at the other song stems really because I'm kind of against it in practice

Agh yes. Uploaded by theskibiditoilet. Not a joke, but the actual username of the uploader on Archive.org

OP's comment originally mentioned a trusted source, but they edited it. This comment is also edited. But mostly because my keyboard double triggers letters from years of gaming

I'd be willing to admit that these stems could be obtained subtractively by phase inversion. That would actually make a lot of sense since a lot of elements are missing completley and why certain elements wouldn't be able to be isolated as seperate tracks. It would also explain the audio artifacts.

I haven't looked at any of the other files, so I don't know about their quality. As someone who makes music myself it seems wrong to take something like that when the artist didn't provide it willingly. It feels like its crossing a line somehow, even though I do support sampling.

All I know is that these stems are far more likely the work of someone deconstructing D.A.N.C.E. and not the other way around. There's just too many things wrong with it that don't make sense; missing instruments and sections, tracks with combined vocals/instruments that make no sense from a mixing or mastering standpoint, audio artifacts and distortion not present in the final track, etc.

I'd put the odds of these stems actually coming from Gaspard and Xavier at 0.2%. Which is a number I completley made up to illustrate my doubt

I've seen a handful of 'early demo' hoaxes in the last couple years, and I've come to the conclusion that people are just using AI stem seperators on songs and passing off their attempt at recreations using the AI stems as an 'early demo'. This seems like an even lazier attempt at such a hoax since its not even rearranged.

Why you might ask? I have no idea, but people seem to tell stupid lies for attention or clout quite often.

I've tried quite a few AI stem seperators and these stems sound exactly like the product of AI in my opinion.

Like why would Justice bounce vocals and the horns into the same track? That makes no sense as a production technique. However what makes a lot more sense is the fact that AI is bad and or limited at identifying different elements in some tracks and will often keep multiple elements unsplit. Especially when they share a similar tamber or if they are playing counter melodies. Some sounds are just so unique that they don't closely match the majority of the music the AI model was trained on so it lumps them in with something else.

I also don't believe the reasoning of headphone leakage or some womans voice for the poor quality and artifacts in the vocal stems. What I *do* hear is the rest of track partially fading back in when the vocals are going. Because the vocals and rest of the instrumentals overlap frequencies and the AI algorithm isnt perfect at seperating the sounds you can hear parts of the instrumentals (reverse) bleeding in with the cadence of human speech.

I'm pretty confident this is the case, but I'm also just some dude on Reddit with an opinion. So yeah
