For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

Yeah basically. Rekordbox often analyzes BPM at half or double time. You should generally correct this but there are some reasons you might not - Dubstep and Trap and other halftime genres for example, I always keep at ~140 just as a habit. Some people also deliberately stripe tracks in halftime because it effectively means your pitch fader can make adjustments twice as fine, but I've never needed to do that.

But yeah, having songs show up in double/half BPM and relying entirely on the sync function is going to make your tunes sound like the Chipmunks or worse. Lots of DJs rely on sync (I'm feeling lazy and will probably turn it on for the set I'm recording tonight) but when it breaks like this - an entirely avoidable user error - it's not difficult to correct things, since CDJs have enormous BPM displays and 'phase meters' (stacked waveforms so you can visually beatmatch) on their screens. And it's barely even 'doing math'; how loving hard is it to calculate half or twice a number?

There might be some other poo poo going on with her set, I actually didn't watch the whole video, I dipped out out of second-hand embarrassment. She's so impossibly dumb, I feel bad for her.

Thank you. It could be other poo poo too but yeah, using the waveforms and simple math is pretty basic stuff. I know it sucks to have poo poo go wrong in front of a huge crowd but it sounds like she needs to familiarize herself with the software better or have a backup plan if poo poo goes south.

I remember seeing some article about functional longevity in certain careers, and while people like writers can work well into old age, both investment and tech bros were known for peaking early and then burning out trying to surpass their early successes.

Elon encompasses both and I suspect he knows it's all downhill from here. But oh well might as well deny it, retreat to your hugbox, do a lot of drugs, and dance like an idiot while your career and reputation goes down in flames.

I've been reading the Extremely Hardcore book about twitter, and seems like the thing was basically on autopilot (which is why Jack Dorsey could afford to gently caress off for years, and also why things moved very slowly on twitter). bloated with employees and bureaucracy but it was still making 800-1000 million usd per year in profit

elon worked really, really hard to gently caress that up. he went up against some very smart people who tried to contain him, and then did massive, personal, petty firings for months. you gotta admire his work ethic

As a singer doing a DJ set, when her DJ software hosed up she could, you know, perhaps fuckin sing since she has no idea how to use the DJ equipment

but I'm sure she's as good at singing without assistance as she was at DJing

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT A NUMBER OF THINGS
The only reason people make bots is because they generate money for the creator, Musky just wants a slice of that action. Why get rid of the bots when you can monetise them?

It's dumb as poo poo if the idea is to create a social media platform but if the business model is now simply to provide a space for bots to signal boost scams it's a pretty good idea.
