  • I don’t know shit about fuck, but you explanation seems correct.

    I do remember hearing that precisely because of the limitations of vinyl compared to CD, music is mastered differently for each medium. So the CD master of a certain song might be more compressed (dynamic compression, not digital compression) to make it sound “louder”, while the vinyl release has a wider dynamic range. So some people might prefer the vinyl version because it actually does sound different to the CD version.

    Keep in mind tho, I might be spreading misinformation here.


  • Digital music can be taken as easily as it can be given.

    Digital does not always mean DRM. You can pry my bandcamp FLACs from my cold dead hands. Physical media nowadays is more about the experience than functionality. Maybe there are snobs who claim that vinyls are somehow functionally superior, but generally the people who use vinyls or CDs or tapes instead of digital are really just looking for that physical experience in a highly digitalized world.

    They have sound quality as good as digital

    CD quality is actually superior to streaming services like spotify (I personally can’t tell the difference tho).


  • Typical conversation between a non-programmer and a programmer about AI:

    Won’t AI put you out of your job?

    It probably won’t

    Well, can’t AI write code much faster and more efficiently than humans?

    How would it know what code to write?

    I guess you would need to provide it with a description of the app that you want it to make?

    So you’re telling me that in the future, there will be machines that can generate computer code based entirely on a description of the required functionality?

    I guess so?

    Those machines are called “compilers”, and “a description of the required functionality” is called “a program”. You’re describing programming.
