    You'd think maybe the Germans would have some sort of generational reverse empathy to victims of genocidal maniacs but it appears only some do

    soz, off the menu as soon as you add israel to the equation... for obvious reasons.

    public broadcasting news coverage differs quite noticeably from their international counterparts, too:

    I really like the idea that the math we use is just some concept we as humans decided to roll with. There are many different options that also make sense and are coherent but we just did not decided to use like these for example: 

    Non-Euclidean Geometry
    In classical Euclidean geometry, the "parallel postulate" states that given a line and a point not on it, there is exactly one line parallel to the original line that passes through the given point. However, in non-Euclidean geometries like hyperbolic and elliptic geometry, this postulate is replaced, leading to different and equally coherent geometrical systems.

    Quaternions and Octonions
    In addition to real and complex numbers, there are mathematical systems like quaternions and octonions. Quaternions extend complex numbers by adding two more imaginary components, while octonions add even more. These systems have applications in various fields like computer graphics and string theory.

    Modular Arithmetic
    In modular arithmetic, numbers "wrap around" upon reaching a certain value, much like a clock. This is different from the arithmetic we learn in school but is crucial in areas like cryptography.

    p-adic Numbers
    In the p-adic number system, the notion of "closeness" between numbers is different from the one in the real number system. This has applications in number theory.

    Fuzzy Logic
    In classical logic, a statement is either true or false. Fuzzy logic allows for degrees of truth, which is useful in fields like artificial intelligence and control systems.

    Alternative Calculi
    The Newtonian and Leibnizian calculus we learn in school is just one approach to understanding rates of change. There are alternative forms like non-standard calculus and constructive calculus.

    Tropical Algebra
    In tropical algebra, the basic operations are replaced: addition is replaced by taking the minimum, and multiplication is replaced by addition. This has applications in optimization theory and is used to understand things like network flow.

    Ya kinda learn basic modular arithmetics in school before the introduction of rational numbers tho (division with remainder). It's also semi-consciously used in everyday life when reading classic clocks.

    If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all? On a discussion site about music?

    naaaah, hate that "good vibes only" mindset, shat all over "all end" myself when it came out eg, also discussed how PLUS felt like an outtake collection to me etc.

    i have no problem with stating unpopular opinions whatsoevs, what i meant is the tendency to read more into it than being just that: opinions. like it's "objectively" wrong to like or dislike this or that because it's "unsound" in some psychological way, y'know "if you weren't delusional you'd see my opinion is actually right blah".

    i mean it's fucking music, not maths or ethics or whatever. dunno.

    do go on.

  4. whatever happened to everyone just listening to what they enjoy and leaving the rest? jeesh.

    That "leave it for a year" quip is condescending bullshit, elitist truehead bragging that you "get it" while others don't ("I didn't mean it like that" defence notwithstanding). You can habituate and acclimate to anything with enough repetition; I know this because I've done it numerous times, and some of it has been Autechre - but it doesn't mean that I actually like something, it's just become familiar enough for me not to dislike it.

    actually kinda* agree, on the other hand there's no need to get pompous about being among the chosen few who "get" stuff's actually crap and everyone else is just fooling themselves (not pointed at you directly).

    (*i like to compare the matter to differing opinions in general: you're more inclined to give second thoughts about something you disagree with coming from someone you're on the same page on usually. that kinda "vertrauensvorsprung" in itself isn't autosuggestive imo)

    there's more than enough ae tracks i don't like, like fermium and flh, i just think they're a bit on the goofy side. so what.

    They went out of ideas if you ask me. Hiding that behind some max/msp mystery, fans like things they don't understand.

    but you got it all figured out, aye? grats.

    Is it the same person that did the NTS Exclusives? 

    I also have the 2015 Live sets split into 12-15 tracks per set, I think it is the same guy 

    tis a gal, and yeah she did all those live set edits i think.

    I asked Sean if the piece in this video had a name, simply because it was my favorite part of the 2015 soundboards. He said he probably made something up for PRS forms, but nothing more permanent than that

    ah... man i loved that 14 era grignani inspired dirty AE logo so much. ❤️
