^ we need more of these physics memes in here

I found this playlist a little while back that has a fair few. It's so odd hearing the originals having become so used to them in the context of the caretaker tracks. Room with a view

"ANIMA, a new record by Thom Yorke. Out on digital 27th June, physical 19th July. A "one-reeler" film of the same name by Paul Thomas Anderson will appear on Netflix on 27th June, in collaboration with Thom Yorke and the choreographer Damien Jalet featuring music from the record. Thom is also back on tour with the Tomorrow's Modern Boxes project, alongside Nigel Godrich (who produced the record) and Tarik Barri's live computer visuals. Full details in the Schedule section." https://anima.technology/

Some info about the black hole to put in perspective just how impressive this is: - It's the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Messier 87 galaxy - It's 55 million light years away from earth - It's mass is 6.5 billion times the mass of the Sun - The event horizon is 40 billion km across. For reference, the distance from the Sun to Neptune, the outer most planet in our Solar System, is 4.5 billion km Just completely insane scales all round, and we've just gone and taken a snap of it. Also rumors are circulating that an image of Sagittarius A, the black hole at the center of our galaxy, may be soon to follow.

Here's the high def image. Truly an incredible feat.

The Event Horizon Telescope are announcing a "groundbreaking result" next week on Wednesday. Could be the first ever image of a black hole. https://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=298155&org=NSF&from=news

Ah you talking about Pynchon in Public by any chance? I've listened to that one a few times, and it is pretty good, but far more of a bookclub style. This one's just one guy and so far has focused more on the historical and political placing of the novel, rather than working through it chapter by chapter. Guy has really got that Pynchon sense of humour down as well. If it's the one that starts with the recreation of one of the pynchon drinking songs then that's it yah. Yeah one of the big differences I'd say between reading him back in the 70s and 80s and readin it today is you can google/wiki every obscure historical reference you don't get. It's much more illuminating that way. Totally sends you down a rabbithole though. I remember one thing I looked up in Vineland that was a cut of steak the Japanese named after a famous opera singer, and it was just a throwaway line with some characters ordering food while in Japan. Hmm maybe not then, I don't remember that at all. If you remember the name of that one lemme know, I wanna do a GR reread at some point soon.

Any of you Pynchon nuts listened to the podcast Death is Just Around the Corner? Just discovered it and listened to the first episode (episode 67). It begins with a proper deep dive on Inherent Vice bringing Hardcore History levels of context to where Pynchon was coming from with the main themes of the novel. Really really brilliant stuff. Looks like he's done a pretty hefty series on Gravity's Rainbow as well.

You could check out Book of Numbers by Joshua Cohen. It's a blisteringly modern book which pretty much has the "now" infused into every sentence. He has quite a similar style to DFW with that hyper-analytical detail and the ability to drop incredibly niche references to a massive variety of fields. I should say though, I really hated it. I can't quite place what it was that turned me off so much, but by the end I just felt pissed off and relieved to be done. Still though, that could just be personal preference and it might fit your description pretty well.

Just finished this and absolutely loved it. Easily the most interesting take on first contact I've read, although completely depressing. Brilliantly illustrates how quickly things could go wrong when entering a completely alien situation with an anthropocentric mindset. Loads of interesting detours on AI, reanimation, the nature of scientific progress etc, as well. This is only the second Lem I've read after Solaris but I'm completely hooked on his work now. Anyone else read this?

New AE track on the Adult Swim Singles Program 2018 Coming Soon
misc replied to KovalainenFanBoy's topic in Autechre
For anyone who's not seeing the track, I contacted support and they apologised and added it to my account. So guessing it is just a mistake that some people don't have it. -
New AE track on the Adult Swim Singles Program 2018 Coming Soon
misc replied to KovalainenFanBoy's topic in Autechre
Not showing up for me either, and I've also only purchased digitals. Seems very unlike ae to only reward one listening format though, so hopefully just a mistake. -
I tried working on this but I could not come up with a solution either. I tried experimenting using the pattrhub object and with the subscribe mode arguments for pattrstorange but I can't find anything that will work with that level of abstraction you want. Though I have never worked with multiple pattrstorages either. Ah well cheers so much for having a look anyway. I ended up going with a workaround where I have both the main sequencer and the internal sequencer as presentation mode abstractions in a new patch and then load that, so they're both contained together but have separate pattrstorage routes. Can't believe I didn't think of doing that earlier to be honest, because I've been puzzling over this one for a while now. Thanks again to both of you for having a look!
-
Yeah I've been messing around with all different combinations of greedy and subscribemode but can't get anything working. So would you say the only way to save the state of the internal sequencer in the master pattrstorage would be to have it as a separate module and connect it to the main sequencer? That's not a huge problem but I've been trying to minimise the amount of objects that need to be loaded in to do simple stuff, so would've liked to have it included in the main sequencer.
-
Cheers for the suggestion. Unchecking the box works for getting the abstraction's pattrstorage to ignore the objects, but how do I then get the master pattrstorage, that's one level up, to recognise them?
-
Anyone able to help me with a super boring max issue? Might be a little difficult to describe but I'll try my best. So after way too long of putting it off, I'm trying to set up a half-decent storage system that's adaptable to whatever abstractions I've got in the patch. I've got a master pattrstorage in my main patch, and then another pattrstorage in a sequencer abstraction, named so that it's recognised as a unique object for each instance of the abstraction that's loaded in (i.e with #1_seq). The pattrstorage in the abstraction is linked up to a preset object, so I can quickly save and change states, with the master pattrstorage then saving the states of multiple different instances of the abstraction. Hope this makes sense so far. So what I want is in the sequencer abstraction to have an internal sequencer that can cycle through a set of the saved presets. Issue is, this obviously can't be linked to the abstraction's pattrstorage because then each preset includes the state of the internal sequencer, resulting in a loop where the internal seq changes the main seq state which in turn changes the state of the internal seq. So is there a way to have the internal seq settings be ignored by the abstraction's pattrstorage, but recognised by the master pattrstorage? I've been messing around with subscribe messages and a few other approaches but nothing seems to work. Would really appreciate any suggestions.

The mc stuff looks incredibly useful and is probably worth the upgrade alone. Nice vid from your good buddy sam showing some simple applications that already give cool effects: Also lol at the comments on the cycling 74 announcement video:

shimripl casual is just sublime. It's pretty much exactly the direction I was hoping they'd go in in terms of beatless stuff. It all sounds so natural and fluid, but completely alien. Beautiful, scary, kinda melancholic, just straight away puts me in such a specific place every time I listen. So glad they let this one run on as well, would've loved an hour of it continually morphing but i'll take 25 mins. Also I absolutely loved the fft soup with tumbling beats bit that lead into what was turned into shrimp casual from the onesix tour. Hoping that'll pop up in a release at some point.
