RE: #ThePlaylist will know that almonds aren't actually nuts.
See, @…, we do listen to you!

@… I don't know about pastagang (haven't listened to all the podcasts yet!) but I guess the core controversy in live coding in general is the question of what it is. It's a pretty tired question but I think that doesn't stop it being controversial with a lot of opinions, even if differences are (generally) very good natured. Relatedly the question of wha…

i was jamming this solo guitar LP by liam grant last year when my turntable troubles began. the wobble hit during a slow spare loren connors cover so i thought it was intentional 'til i changed records. l'il traumatizing & haven't listened since, but way hip! https://vhfrecords.bandcamp.com/album/

Anybody here listened to “the rest is politics US” last week? 😆
That’s what Anthony Scaramucci predicted would make sense strategically.
And whatever facts they’ll find within those files, they will totally deny afterwards — like Trump always does. https://ard.social/@tagesschau/1155631

@… I don’t know John personally, but I’ve listened to him talk about tech for long enough that I’m really confident in saying: I bet he *tried* to teach his children all the proper computer etiquette (Proper in his opinion, which is often controversial, hence the whole podcast thing).
But teaching a child something they don’t *want* to learn is… e…

Ben Meiselas is a very busy man.
His “pro-democracy” channel MeidasTouch,
which he runs with his younger brothers Jordan and Brett,
puts out 15 or more videos a day, most of them presented by Meiselas himself.
The prolific output is part of the reason The MeidasTouch has become one of the most listened-to podcasts in the US,
routinely beating the mighty Joe Rogan in both video and audio,
and even overtaking Fox News in YouTube views.

Listened to half of the digital foundry video. The steam machine, AKA GabeCube, will have 16G of replaceable sodimm (laptop) memory.
Video memory it's probably soldered and a bit anemic, but (my guess) if the GPU can read system memory fast enough, it might even work out just fine! Ray tracing consumes a lot of extra video memory, so that's probably the biggest concern.
We'll see, I'm definitely interested to see where this goes!

Installed SSMS 22 preview.
Did they finally fire the person who was keeping the results pane white in dark mode? Sorry SQL Shades, looks like someone finally listened.

For the past few weeks I've had a Mario song stuck in my head. I hummed it so much that my wife started humming it, but she'd never heard it before. I looked it up, it's from SMB 3, which I haven't played (or listened to) since the mid-1990s. Until now!

(2015) "Visual" cortex responds to spoken language in blind children https://www.jneurosci.org/content/35/33/11674 Now what will the "visual" cortex of blind children do once trained with live imagery (camera views) encoded in sound by The vOICe?

“Visual” Cortex Responds to Spoken Language in Blind Children
Plasticity in the visual cortex of blind individuals provides a rare window into the mechanisms of cortical specialization. In the absence of visual input, occipital (“visual”) brain regions respond to sound and spoken language. Here, we examined the time course and developmental mechanism of this plasticity in blind children. Nineteen blind and 40 sighted children and adolescents (4–17 years old) listened to stories and two auditory control conditions (unfamiliar foreign speech, and musi…

Just listened to the new Nine Inch Nails album on the speakers at the BFI IMAX.

Day 9 - Windy
I slowly woke up to the morning sun pouring into my tent. My bag is packed, my bike is set, and I’m ready for my last breakfast in HillerŸd. One last stroll through the Frederikssund Gardens before I say goodbye to my host.
The weather gods listened to me regarding the rain, but they really fucked me up with the wind—42 km of headwind! And for anyone who says that Denmark is flat, then Pamela Anderson is flat too! While I was fighting with the wind with lots of open…

Yesterday I listened to the excellent Danish @krigskunst.dk podcast, about the need for #DigitalSovereignty in Denmark and the creation of a new organisation to promote the concept - it appears China agrees.

Someone, somewhere, on which platform I cannot remember, was asking if anyone listened to music through headphones while home alone. I’m doing that right now. Some music lends itself more to headphone listening, in my opinion.

I often wonder, if everybody had listened to Metallica and stopped pirating music where would we be now?

I just listened to this whole concert album and it’s just fantastic, hell of a performance. Hot damn. And then I purchased it, because I am old and crusty and I like to actually hold the data for music in my own library on my own danged device.

@… I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your appearance on the Reimagining the Internet podcast back in April with Ethan Zuckerman. Just finally listened to it today while driving, and enjoyed your insights around online communities, the Fediverse, Bluesky, and so much more. Thanks for doing all the writing and speaking that you are doing.

Listened to some of Death's Individual Thought Patterns album. I had completely forgotten how well you can hear the bass guitar on that album.
…
Except, it's the same with e.g. Deicide's Legion or Cannibal Corpse's Tomb of the Mutilated! These were all produced etc. by Scott Burns. So is it him I should be thanking.

Just listened to an interesting online talk (#Balloon Facility (https://www.tifr.res.in/bf/) - here are the slides about astronomical observations they do; see also https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.04877 for a 2021 review paper about this work and the mentioned papers https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full_html/2013/08/aa21614-13/aa21614-13.html ("Large-scale mapping of the massive star-forming region RCW38 in the [CII] and PAH emission") and https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full_html/2021/07/aa35739-19/aa35739-19.html ("[CII] emission properties of the massive star-forming region RCW 36 in a filamentary molecular cloud").

Listened to Starless, King Crimson, again while cooking. Wow, why does it stop!

#TuneTuesday (Sep 2)
I first heard of Francois Klark when a song of his was beautifully included in the climax of a Netflix film. I got curious and listened to some of his other songs and came across the 2019 song “This City” which is the sort of pop song that really appeals to me.

Unveiling the Listener Structure Underlying K-pop's Global Success: A Large-Scale Listening Data Analysis
From the mid-2000s to the 2010s, K-pop moved beyond its status as a regionally popular genre in Asia and established itself as a global music genre with enthusiastic fans around the world. However, little is known about how the vast number of music listeners across the globe have listened to and perceived K-pop. This study addresses this question by analyzing a large-scale listening dataset from Last.fm. An analysis of the distribution of play counts reveals that K-pop experienced a significant…

Being Bandcamp Friday and all, had to grab a couple things. Picked up the new Exorency, Pseudomaimer, and Emphysema (super gross cover on that one) LPs - three artists I really wanted to give some money to, since I've listened to all three of those albums SO MUCH this year. Two death metal, one grind - an all-metal Bandcamp Friday for me. And it's only for a few more hours, get those last purchases in 💥
Only two more Bandcamp Fridays in 2025 after today -- October 3 and Decem…

Spontaneous recruitment of the person-knowledge network by familiar voices in the congenitally blind https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-16840-6

Spontaneous recruitment of the person-knowledge network by familiar voices in the congenitally blind - Scientific Reports
Recognising a familiar individual involves the spontaneous retrieval of person-specific information, engaging a distributed cortical network for person knowledge. While the role of this system is well established for visual face perception, it remains unclear whether its recruitment depends on visual experience. Here, we investigated the neural basis of voice-identity processing in congenitally blind and sighted individuals using fMRI. Participants listened to personally familiar and unfamiliar…

More than a feeling: Expressive style influences cortical speech tracking in subjective cognitive decline
Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) approximately doubles the risk of progressing to MCI and dementia. The present study investigates how one's subjective concerns of his/her own cognition are manifested in the neural dynamics during speech perception. EEG was collected from 56 Cantonese, cognitively normal older adults (aged 60 - 70) while they listened to stimuli of four expressive styles that varied in prosody: scrambled, descriptive, dialogue, and exciting. Using encoding models to predict E…
