Neat project but how's it sound? I want a recording!

Reminds me of: > A very common practice in videogames is to make your game visually immersive—that is to say, to visually portray the game’s elements in such a way that makes the player, to some extent, feel like they’re “really there.”

I have the confidence to feel that now, but dating apps imbue a sense of helplessness in users like my past self, who would get maybe 10-20 matches total, ever, most of whom wouldn't even reply. So perhaps my experience speaks more to

It's real. I remember bracing myself every time I got someone's number off a dating app for the inevitable comment about my "green bubble". These are people in their 20s in NYC. And (for most people), a rant about ecosys

Agreed 100%. A courtroom trial is also a sort of game, but it's not typically fun for those involved. Much the opposite...

The "actual thing out there in the world", at least for the case of psychology, is discursively ("socially") constructed. This fact is the precise problem with the original essay, and with empirical psychology as a field

I have no opinions to share here on the practice of psychoanalysis, either in its historical or modern form. But it's undeniable that the discursive roots of modern psychology come from Freud in particular, and that when we analyze a p

This has been a problem for thousands of years. Plato's solution is pretty great: those who rule must bind themselves to laws which stand above them, enforced by the collective. Hannah Arendt (in "What is Authority?") zeroes

Of course Freud is not mentioned -- no wonder, because articles like this are more interested in giving statistical analyses rather than formal or structural understandings, because what's at stake isn't something akin to wisdom b

Hah! Been there, except for me it was with pure electronic music. Too much tweaking and then you come back later and go "WTF was I thinking!"

Buddy of mine has a $20k pair of monitors in a soundproofed room, and I was able to A/B 320 vs lossless on that system only, and only on certain types of material. The difference was only evident in the very high frequencies, and I rea

Ironically this kind of thing is something that's been done for ages, although in a different context -- old films would shoot "nighttime" scenes using underexposure (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day

Been doing this with some friends in a Freud reading group lately, using ChatGPT. Best responses come from using the term "Freudian dream analysis" in the prompt, although ofc it doesn't do it properly/with any sort of c

Same. And, for me, it's the little happy Mac icon at startup... seeing him takes me back to such specific moments in my childhood. Playing Oregon Trail in my friend's basement... damn.

You were right on this one. The conclusions here seem... weak, on a number of different axes (participation pool = undergraduates, topics of discussion, conversations lasting 7 minutes only, seemingly small effect sizes).

Ironically I'd find more value in "Windows XP in a browser" than in a custom OS. if it has filesystem access and can handle most of the underlying API. Reason being that I run Linux, so if I need to run a Windows program (whi

I agree that WoW is a waste when considered in relation to the space of possible things a young person can be doing. In practice, though, teenagers are basically trapped in their school related social circle and activities. For me, WoW was

Sadly this omits the metric I'm most interested in, which is speed. I've noticed that, with the same rip settings, different drives -- some are a lot faster, but both produce bit-perfect rips. Biggest difference was between a slim

A lot of the emphasis on EAC is that robust automatic logfile validation tools exist for it (from what I can tell?), so it requires less manual inspection for archival. But I agree that other tools are likely equally capable.

I'm not confident this will lead to industry-wide trends, at least not immediately, because Twitter is specifically a massive company making negative profit. If Twitter was profitable, then this entire thing wouldn't have happened

Plus, the spin on the story is so good (because Musk's character means they can use political rather than productivity reasons to justify getting laid off) that they'll have no trouble getting solid jobs elsewhere. I'm sure t

50mm was pretty much the only lens I used for ages when I was shooting film. I had an old Pentax KX SLR (like the K1000 but with a few more bells & whistles), and a regular f/1.7 50mm manual focus lens -- and I loved it. Shot rolls

The phenomenologists, most notably Husserl, had this figured out about a hundred years ago. What the authors did here was reground it in neuroscience (scientific materialism) rather than the generic philosophical primitives of phenomenology

The conclusion I came to is that "intrinsic value" is fundamentally an extroverted (object-oriented) rather than introverted (subject-oriented) concept, to use Jungian terminology. In other words, the subject projects their psycho

The point isn't whether the criteria are knowable or not, the point is whether one is aligned with them, in terms of views/faiths/beliefs about how to live one's life. Better to think of it as a lens, perspective, fr
