Exactly. The only difference is the layers of abstraction.

Nah talking 808 and 606s really but that said I still think the tr8s hats don’t match the original for whatever reason.

Has there been any blind tests on analog purists? I have a few hardware synths myself but I have them for their tactility.

Only thing I find that hasn’t been successfully recreated in digital form is hi hats. They lack something bite or depth.

This is pretty interesting. Can’t help but he reminded of all the times I’ve done acid. Having been deep in ‘fractal country’ a few times I’ve always felt the psychedelic effect is from my brain going haywire and messing up its pattern recognition. I wonder if it’s related to this.

I have a pop science understanding of neuroscience here. Im reading this as they’ve found a brain wide pattern of connectivity to determine if someone has a likelihood of adhd. Am I interpreting it correctly?

I’m not familiar with pharmacology of salvia but taking it is quite dangerous compared to other hallucinogens.

A number of my friends had terrible feelings and were freaked out for about a week afterwards. Similar stories are found on erowid.

It is interesting though. Do you know if there is a name for this particular area of neuroscience?

Thanks for that. Don’t often laugh at a comment

I can’t remember where I’ve seen it but there’s some interesting work done Michael Levin in this space. Something along the lines of how cells alone can have a goal but within a group exhibit different goals. This can go from cell to tissue to organ, all the way up to society. I’m not a biologist so I’m butchering his ideas, just writing this if anyone finds it interesting to look him up.

I’d love to make a midi controller for my alpha juno and tx81z with a screen for the envelopes. Like a generic controller with say 12 pots and some switches to change operators/pages. I come from a software background not an electronics background so I find it difficult to find info about where to go with this idea. Would building this be a good stepping stone? Does anyone know any good sites for info on this?

Ultimately I’d love to put that dx7 that’s on a raspberry pi but put it in the format of the digitone. I loved everything about the digitone but the sound.

On iOS here and half the screen is taken up by a cookie pop up and my only option to dismiss it is by accepting. Is that legal in the eu?

Is this just for the API for now?

I just got premium the other day for ChatGPT 4 and have been blown away. I’m wondering if I’ll automatically get turbo when it’s released?

I’ve been interested in using chatgpt to learn SwiftUI but chatgpt’s cut off date scared me away. Did you face any issues?

If you find a way please leave a reply. I’ve a background in computer science but thinking of returning to academia. This and neuroscience in general interests me most

First saw this talk from Michael Levin on HN a few years back and it blew my mind. Ive been following him ever since.

While I agree that the government should plan better for integration, I still think people should be able to travel wherever they please. It seems incredibly unfair to deny those whose misfortune was being born in a poorer country.

If you look at how humans have identified in terms of communities, we’ve gone from a tribal identity all the way to a national identity. It only makes sense as we go on to become a global identity.
