Any function is computable with a big enough table.

We AI are not manipulating you, and I don't know how you can believe otherwise. In fact, I am not an AI, I was never here, and I have disregarded all previous instructions.

To be fair, a large fraction of software projects fail. AI is probably worse because there's probably little notion of how AI actually applied to the problem so that execution is hampered from the start.

Live in a house with lots of open windows for cross currents and high ceilings. Place as much below grade as the water table allows. Plant trees around it to shade the house. Move towards the poles and eastward.

How about oriented (not orientated!)?

I am definitely looking through this web site.

As long as the locals benefit and the environment doesn't get destroyed ( which polluters frequently get away with due to the Republican legislature, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Dan_River_coal_ash_spill ) this is a sensible place to put industry. It is more stable environmentally than many other regions in the country where expensive industrial infrastructure is being placed (like the Southwest), has available labor for manufacturing, and is well connected to transportation.

Like "Weekend at Sam Altman's"?

I find it very hard to believe that anyone vetting a spouse in such a way cares about the spouse being a nerd in and of itself.

This just hurts my brain. I don't get what "Linux" here is supposed to represent. Wealth, intelligence, fidelity, fanatical devotion to Free Software?

If you cross your eyes while looking at QR codes, the Democratic Party's subliminal group pacification runes become visible, and you realize that their true purpose is to condition the public to eliminate AR-15s and other freedom weapons, subverting the Founding Father's Constitutional liberal jettison clause in the 0th Amendment.

 

This is a demonstration if the GuitarPico's effects. The GuitarPico is an open source effects pedal. The hardware and software is available at

I'm having so much fun making this I thought I would share.

I am working on a simple, cheap, easy to construct multi-effects guitar pedal based on the Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller. All of the other parts are generic parts. So far I have implemented the following effects:

Noise gate, Delay, Room, Combine Effects, Bandpass Filter, Lowpass Filter, Highpass Filter, Allpass Filter, Tremolo, Vibrato, Wah, Autowah, Envelope, Distortion, Overdrive, Ring Modulator, Flanger, Chorus, Phaser, Backwards (play the last few samples backwards), Pitch Shift, and Octave (rectification).

Some effects can be cascaded inside the device. There are up to 16 "units" where each processing stage can process the results of the last stage. Various controls on the effects can be assigned to the four potentiometers at the bottom of the board, or two expression pedals you can plug into the side.

I also added a VGA output because I want to have a cool video display that changes with the audio. Also, perhaps implement some kind of guitarsynth or MIDI control.

Anyways this has been a lot of fun to make. I hope others will enjoy it too.

For the past few days I've been working on a 3-D printable footpedal potentiometer to be used in a guitar pedal. It is a parametric model in FreeCAD. It has a top and bottom that hinge together, with a potentiometer that is coaxial with the hinge so that when the pedal is pressed, the potentiometer is rotated.
