you can see repeated box blurs starting to look gaussian in 111*111*111 = 1367631
after that it overflows......

Spectrogram Phases
There was a tweet recently pointing out the apparent structurelessness of the phase data that is usually discarded when you compute audio spectrograms. People familiar with audio will know phase is im...

For funsies I wrote up a little test in Pico-8 to compare the two versions myself. It looks like you need to really lose frames to see a substantial difference with the wrong method, but seeing how much better it can be when you do it right is cool

Reminder: if you have to hanko something with your boss, his hanko will be vertically aligned, but your hanko has to be rotated pi/4 anticlockwise to make it look like your seal is bowing to his!!!! How amazing is that?!

That was me, I used this a while ago in a compression format where I just wanted to reduce variation in the exponent bits so they’d delta encode better. Didn’t care about what it rounded to, I just had to know how many bits of precision I was losing. I probably got that trick from cbloom’s blog…
ahah someone was like "what if you just add a huge number to intentionally trigger floating point precision issues?"
and uh yeah it works 💀 this is so unhinged i love it

Thinking about writing a blog post on some music theory which of course means reading 19th century asiatic society transactions to find out what they thought about chinese and japanese scales before everyone decided you could just slap some western note names on those bad boys and call it a day
