I think it is long due dropping Facebook (now Meta) from the S&P 500 index funds. As an owner of some, I really have a problem with it—and yes, I know there is little I can do but voice it everywhere I make noise online.
We should be able to remove those subject hashtags, they’re just noise.
Yes! I would say they are not even needed on the web UI. You click conversations, and that’s done by Yarn. No need for humans to see it.
new algo in #sndkit @!(sndkitref “sparse”)!@ is a sparse noise generator, similar to velvet noise, that produces a random series of impulses at a specified rate in Hz.
OpenBSD on the Huawei MateBook X (2020)
My old 2017 Huawei MateBook X has been my most reliable laptop and has continued to be my daily-use workstation despite trying half a dozen others (and a desktop or two) in the past four years. Every time I’d try a new laptop, certain components wouldn’t work properly, or the keyboard would feel strange, or the screen would look bad, or the fan or some coil-whine noise would drive me nuts. And every time, I’d return to my MateBook X and everything would just work silently. ⌘ Read more
In case you were wondering, AirPods Pro are unable to cancel noise that comes from inside your head, like from an electric toothbrush.
“wide spectrum” sounds like a neat spin on “noise cancellation off”.
That is why we like noise and activity so much. That is why imprisonment is such a horrific punishment. That is why the pleasure of being alone is incomprehensible. That is, in fact, the main joy of the condition of kingship, because people are constantly trying to amuse kings and provide them with all sorts of distraction.—The king is surrounded by people whose only thought is to entertain him and prevent him from thinking about himself. King though he may be, he is unhappy if he thinks about it All problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone (2014) | Hacker News

thinking about implementing some noise generators for !sndkit. A chaos noise generator that leverages numerical instabilities in IEEE floating point, and a 1-bit linear feedback shift register noise generator based on NES audio. #sndkit #halfbakedideas #dsp
An NES-inspired noise source. Basically, 1-bit noise using a linear-feedback shift register algorithm, as defined in the NES specs. #halfbakedideas
NoiseTorch - Real-time microphone noise suppression on Linux. ⌘ https://github.com/lawl/NoiseTorch
Atlantis lies hidden under the waves of the noise floor, where alternative causalities rule universes that use the same atoms as us, but only register to us as noise (and vice versa)
Wonder what the Noise complication does to battery life.
This Noise app is my jam. Decibel meter on my wrist? Yes please.
Band name of the day: noise pollution
Trendism is the idea that, in Dellio’s White Noise, when people photograph the Most Photographed Barn In America, they are not acting absurdly but creating net value for society.
Band name of the day: industrial noise pollution
raised by machines, the feral kids of the robotic undercity recite ads as greetings, talk in beeps and whirrs and modem chirps, go still and make fan noises when stressed

Bad idea of the day: a self-adhesive battery-powered white noise generator & speaker, which can be affixed to the microphone on your laptop
Making maps with noise functions https://www.redblobgames.com/maps/terrain-from-noise/
Knowing that half of The Buggles became The Art of Noise makes me feel like maybe we do live in a comprehensible and ordered universe. But then I look at literally anything else.
Neural speech synthesizers are noise, pressed into form: Meta-Raudive devices that live in your phone, channel the voices of the dead to tell you dinner’s ready
The young ones, not brought up in the physical world, find our notions of object permanence quaint. Their scapes are not rooms and buildings, but gardens of colored light that look like mental noise to us
at iteration 7, some people do a spontaneous choir and it becomes a tradition to refresh it every 10 iterations so it doesn’t disappear into the noise and other musical graffiti

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net @kas@enotty.dk #twtxt’s quietness is actually something I enjoy about it. I care a lot more about signal-to-noise ratio than I care about the regular activity. It’s also a really fun thing to write clients for to play around with new libraries or languages.
noise cancelling headphones that monitor the auditory nerve to squeeze out a few extra dB
SIGNS YOU MIGHT BE A WEREBOT:↵-your joints make servo noises↵-strong feelings of kinship with computers↵-captchas are way too hard sometimes
Brain-computer interfaces able to play back thoughts can consequently cancel others, providing the basis for the Mental Noise Canceller
Visible only as a gap in the Rimfall’s spray, a glass walkway extends to the stars.↵The disk recedes, the noise subsides.↵Finally, alone.
Wary of humans, the Nameless lurk behind the horizon, swim below the noise floor, evade our probing thoughts clad in fancy garbs of language
“Oh and I wouldn’t trust the doors here. They never quite stay in the same place and some make these swallowing noises when people enter.”
noise cancelling headphones but for the whole sensorium, a wearable sensory deprivation chamber
and from the noise, a melody emerges, tears its way through the noise floor, bloody chunks of melting static gliding off its beautiful teeth
to scrub a mind clear, feed it conceptual noise, everything-but-reality, to untie and undo all concepts it has learned, one by one
we feed the reconstructor networks with noise to get eigendreams, the semantic skeleton of the oneirosphere
Reality did not crack as it fell to the floor. It did, however, make one hell of a noise.↵BANG-ANG-Ang-aanng-aaaannnng-a a a annn an a a
They call us hyoo-mans, a name derived from the wheezing noises we produce.↵”A hyooman rescued you? What’s next, it fertilized your eggs?”
Locals complained about noise, so it was filtered. Many trains worth were illegally dumped in a forest, now full of ghostly subway noises.
Those spooky howling noises are only the tower humming to itself. This is a lonely place. It gets really creative when it knows I’m here!
making one’s website look deliberately spammy so that indexers downrank it; hidden in the noise, accessible only to initiates

Lay down on the noise floor, let yourself sink into its fuzzy depths, watch the spikes grow over your head. Reemerge.
Dance on the noise floor like no one’s measuring.
