@North you made me make a graph
There are lots of French FM stations on my radio this morning.
friend of ours pointed out that the LLM "new model is so much better" effect is analogous to a Shepard tone — there are differences between each note but the actual net progress sums out to 0

I've eaten some rather expensive but very good asparagus for dinner. Worth it. So tasty. I haven't eaten asparagus for probably a decade as the stuff in Waitrose always looked a bit sad. The Royal Farm shop is super expensive but the only place round here that sells food that is food rather than food-shaped.
It sounds good. A lot of loud fun! Look at the spledour of spaghetti wiring. I even made a control panel.
I have made the PIPP limiter on a separate board and it is pleasingly symmetrical or would’ve been if I had built it more carefully
Wanna see the weirdest piece of test equipment (or adjacent?) I've ever seen?

Finally someone has written something correct about systemd.
systemd has always been a lever of power; there’s no other reason to create an ecosystem of its shape. the person who grasps that lever is Lennart Poettering, and it always has been. I don’t need to write much on this; I watched the “oh shit” moment last week when systemd started accepting slop code, and again when an age verification mechanism was imposed on every systemd user and distro on Poettering’s final word. this was always the social structure on offer, enforced by a rigid ecosystem.

Nearly nearly finished this build, but I haven’t left room for the PIPP limiter, overshoot compensator or the 15kHz filter
