spankmeister posted:this is why vinyl often sounds better because you can't mix as loud on vinyl At least one paper also makes the observation that it was already happening during the 60s' Motown era, and it also mentions that the term originates from 1979 (a little more than 30 years before it got popularized).

thats about the time they all started hunting down the most overdrive-able mixing boards and slapping reeeeeally expensive compressors on errything I will confess that i did the same and i have a 17 year old behr MX2642a, which Uli got sued over by Mackie for stealing the VLZ channel strip. you can get it way into the red and it just keeps sounding better

similar to the loudness wars, an older guy once told me that radio stations would turn up the speed on records they were playing ever so slightly in order to make the music feel peppier anyway, have an educational YouTube I found recently: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8i-4EpLBXMzekETNXwcZjA/videos

NinetySevenA posted:i worked on a hot stamp line for a bit. it heats steel up to 900c. it was like 99% automated but sometimes we would have to go in and take the steel off the line and it was unbearably hot. and these guys here are just pulling slag out of molten iron right next to the furnace. Fatha was a a manager at British Steel way back when I was a kid, I went with him to the office a few time late evening to pick up some work stuff, I always remember going out to the rolling yards (this was probably pre-any Health & Safety that would stop you from just going where you fancied on-site) and standing on kennedy grating walkways while the long rolled sections of fresh red-hot steel would pass by underneath, under-lighting everything devilishly and putting out a throb of heat.

super stoked to watch it… if anyone has any more high quality video essayists that are good, speak up. they don’t have to be tech. I feel like I’ve been living under a rock because I recently found Dan Olsen at FoldingIdeas and HBomberguy and Sarah7… binge watched a lot of that and now I’m looking for more!

I love when physicists complain about physicists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kya_LXa_y1E She's no Northernlion at Isaac, but her string theory ramblings are a lot of fun. Also, Northernlion is not a PhD.

It seems like what she's tired of is the "lies to children" that permeate all of science? Which is very fair. Still better at BoI than me, though.

there was this Kaluza guy in the 1920s who found out that if you do relativity in 5D instead of 4D you can naturally derive electromagnetism and it was mindblowing and neat. but as a couple decades passed it was pretty obvious that despite the initial breakthrough the approach was going nowhere. string theory comes from this same approach (it's way less "natural" really) and it's been obviously a deadend for physicists for a much longer time than we knew.
