Right, the fact that people are not synchronized sinusoids is why coherence energy is the way I describe it. If you randomly place emitters and receivers in real space, playing real signals with real bandwidth, the distribution of coherence factors between pairwise emitters is generally positive, but is also not 1.0. This is not destructive interference, it’s just just wave mechanics.

This is partially wrong as well. Non-coherent energy does not add like this, and is a perfectly natural phenomenon, not something which only happens in headphones. If you play two synchronized sinusoids some meters apart, you will get perfect energy doubling only along a single line in the far field which is equidistant to both sources. Any angular divergence from this line will reduce the coherence energy relative to the phase angle. Audible sound has a wavelength of about 15m to a few cm so any real channel with any real sound will experience significant total coherence attenuation as a function of the angular offset of each pairwise emitter.

You are correct that a yelling crowd will never be quieter than a single person, but there is a massive natural diminishing effect which prevents a pure log-rule volume increase.

Anything I have not published should be lost forever.

I do not want anybody to have any access to any of my online presence after I am dead. I want that shit nuked hard. I legitimately cannot believe there is any other thought on this.

This is definitely a great example of individuals being obstinate and entitled. Just mention you support speed cameras on all roads and find out how many of your friends think speeding is a good given human rights.

Can you imagine if Joe Biden said shit like “I’m going to make your pleb shit more expensive because I refuse to just admit a mistake and therefore will double down on my bad policy.”

Local causality doesn’t imply unbroken universal causality. In fact, the idea everything is a purely deterministic projection of some initial state is far weirder than the idea that stochastic actions can influence a partially deterministic state.

This is abuse, arguments are down the hall.

On thing that drives me nuts is weight measures for dry ingredients vs numerical egg measurements. Just give me ingredient ratios normalized to the egg mass.

He’s completely missing that betting on something like the pope isn’t like a random or skill based outcome. The cardinals could literally choose to pick based on the betting markets or even to profit from them if they really wanted to. Polymarket is smooth brain degeneracy for many, many reasons, but this is smooth brain degeneracy turned up to 11.

Imagine being such a degenerate that you bet on the Pope.

I mean this is like saying “I only agree with that one thing Hitler did” and then trying to explain to everyone why you felt the need to defend Hitler. I mean sure, there were probably a handful of policies the Nazis got right, but people are going to look at you funny if you go around phrasing it like that. Especially, in this case, if that “one thing” was actually just praise for shitty authoritarian policies.

This. It’s amazing how naive people here can be just because they fanboyed some random CEO before they were revealed to be problematic.

I was in DC for Trump’s first Reich and it was all just MAGA hats going around acting like they were triggering the libs by buying overpriced shit on the mall. But in general, they are shit people so they make for shit tourists as well.

Honestly a lot of people in this thread clearly don’t get out much. There’s plenty of high emg boutique chocolatiers in the US, they just aren’t on the shelves at Walmart.

Is this really a debate?

This is literally how it works. In modern android you need to explicitly grants microphone permission to apps the first time you use them. Now, if they are clickjacking the permission notification, that’s something different, but the article doesn’t mention this. You can download your own microphone logs and verify if you are curious about this.

I mean it implies that these apps are both violating permissions (in many cases) and the android visual indication of an active microphone. So far I have seen no actual proof that this is the case. Mic activity is logged. You can debunk this yourself easily.
