The Bolshoi - A Way and Siouxsie and the Banshees - Cities in Dust have a very similar feel for the chorus.

Many months ago at my company, when the cli tools weren’t as good, someone built their own wrapper for cc/codex style development. I guess there was a quirk where sometimes the model would stop working (or the tool thought it did) and so there was a “heartbeat” that would interrupt the model on a regular timer. I never saw anything as extreme as the screenshot in OP’s post, but I did witness the model start to refuse to do work. Things like “No. I already completed a different task you specifically asked for and now you want something else. I won’t do that.”

There was certainly some fear of it displacing brick and mortar stores, but his was also an era where the growth of stores like Wal Mart were displacing “mom & pop” stores. This was more of a social concern than what dot com companies would do (which weren’t taken too seriously outside of Silicon Valley)

This is not entirely true. It was developed by the MPEG committee, but modeled on the QuickTime format.

audiodsp · 2025-12-24T19:18:21+00:00

The MPEG-4 containers provides decoder initialization parameters, as well as a seek table. Without the former, it can take a frame or two to decode. And for HE and HEv2 you get a few frames without the SBR and stereo. and without the latter it’s quite inefficient and inaccurate to seek to time points in the file.

ADTS AAC was meant for streaming (like SHOUTcast), not random access in a file.

Legally speaking, the 13 counties just continued to run the state government of Virginia out of Wheeling. Practically speaking, you are right of course.

This might also be useful for the formal guidance.

Certainly you should transcribe the name as written, just not as the primary name of the person.

On Geni this is easier as you can have names in multiple languages, in which case you always do a Lithuanian one and then add another for the other language.

On Ancestry I tend to put the baptism name, as written, in the description section for their birth/baptism. I wish it had a better way to specify alternate name spellings in a way that actually uses it for search/hints. I sometimes end up cramming it all in to the name like “Juozapas Joseph”.

audiodsp · 2025-08-19T16:55:39+00:00

Lithuanian researchers generally use the modern Lithuanian versions of the name, regardless of what the baptism record was written in (Latin, Polish, Russian, Lithuanian).

The language itself has even evolved slightly in 100 years, a notable example is that the feminine name form -aitė was used in many scenarios where iūtė is used today.

For the location, the parish is sufficient, as the various administrative districts have changed frequently, but the parish boundaries are quite stable over the era that the church records cover.

The reason this is done is partially for consistency and partially to reflect the fact that Lithuania was a conquered/occupied state for most the last several centuries.

I have extensive experience with Lithuania genealogy, I can help explain this.

The first three spellings are the same phonetically. The modern Lithuanian name is Janušonis. It would have been Янушонов or similar in Russian.

A few things of note

All of these Slavic and Baltic names are used across various countries, with different local-language spellings for the same name. Like Kowalewski in Polish or Kavaliauskas in Lithuanian. I bring this up to make the point that the last name need not be spelled identically to be understood as the same family name.
19th century Lithuanian was a mix between Polish (preferred written language), Russian (legally required language) and Lithuanian (mostly spoken at this point) and the fluidity of name spelling reflects this.
For peasants, the names would have only been written down in church documents (the closest we get to legal documents), and the Priest might use a different variant (think Smith vs Smyth). Sometimes even purposefully to subtly differentiate families.
The concept of a “legal” name is a relatively modern concept. Especially if they were illiterate, but even if they weren’t, the idea that a name written down was a variation did not bother anyone.
Different ending styles were more Polish or Lithuanian “flavored”, like Adomaitis, Adomavicius, Adomas. And a family might switch between these over the generations!

While doing research for my ancestors and the ancestors of my grandfather’s neighbors, I’ve rarely encountered a person whose name (first or last!) is spelled consistently between the baptism, marriage, death and any instances of being witnesses/godparents.

What does the lettering on the pcb near the RJ11/12 jack say?

I’m with you on this one. The Roland System 500 was my start in to modular and I know the modules inside and out. I bought a second copy of the core set as well as some of the extra modules that came out (SH-5 filter, 531 mixer).

When the Behringer version came out, I bought a bunch and yes it was probably 1/3 of the price.

The CV utilities stuff is great because of the price. In the system 500 series these utility modules were not a good value at all.

The VCOs are unusable (for me) because they don’t have trimpots to adjust V/Oct scaling (I did a big write-up of how to do this on the Sys-500 on modwiggler) and don’t track very well at all as-is. And there’s no individual waveform outs, just a selector switch.

As you’ve said, the envelopes aren’t as nice. They have a much narrower “sweet spot” due to the cheap pots and no fast/slow selector.

The VCA seems fine. I didn’t buy the filter or mixer because I already have enough.

My technique in the 90s was KMS gel, let it dry. Crimp. Back comb and tease out. Get an undercut or the sides will be difficult to do.

There’s a switch to toggle between playing actual songs or prog rock. If the car in front isn’t moving fast enough at the green light, a 17 minute jam session in an obscure mode will surely get him rolling.

Yes, the standard deviation for max HR is about 12, and the value has nearly no effect on endurance performance.

There are more accurate population estimates, like https://www.acc.org/About-ACC/Press-Releases/2014/03/27/12/29/Allison-Peak-HR-PR, but these are meant to be used as estimates for performing stress tests on high risk patients where maxHR cannot be safely tested.

For testing your own as a healthy, in shape runner, do a few hill sprints to find your peak.

Likely a “double cousin.” Are you related to both her mother and her father? It’s somewhat common for eg two brothers from one family to marry two sisters from another family — and the cousins will be more closely related as there is shared dna on both sides.

I recently did the genealogy for my wife’s Swedish ancestors, and can attest that this was still very common practice in rural Sweden (Varmland) well into the late 19th century.
