I never forgot how much I love Back to the Future, but damned if I don't appreciate it a hell of a lot more now
There was a double feature at the local movie theatre of the first two. Sponsored by Calvin Klein. It had an ad for a hover board featuring a white guy with dreads and a trailer for Jaws 19
apparently "octave" is used in electronics and means "the same thing" (2x frequency). neat
Weird!
i mean, it's not weird, in that it's literally the same thing, but it's weird in that it implies that engineers cared about culture at some point. hard to iamgine................

That's my point. I mean, wouldn't they just say they doubled the frequency a few times or something? But I guess "went up three octaves" is more succinct.
yeah, took me a while to get t hrough the terminology, honestly
the thing is that if you don't use logarithmic scaling for things it gets pretty stupid rapidly. much easier to say e.g. "A first-order filter's response rolls off at −6 dB per octave" (what prompted this) than "a first-order filter's response rolls off by a factor of 1/4 every frequency doubling". puts everything on a log-log scale which gives you a linear rolloff as it says

Oh, you explicitly mean in terms of audio engineering. I thought that you meant electrical engineering or something, which would be odder, though there is overlap.

no, this is electrical engineering. filters are in electronics too (and do basically the same thing, with AC instead of sound of course)
anyway i hate this class despite liking the subject. maybe i can get a job as an engineer and con them into paying for a doctorate in neuroscience
Having a cold is the worst thing ever because your internal body temperature is out of sync.
So today is due to be a mild and sunny day with highs of 14 degrees. However, I want nothing more than to wrap up warm to go outside but run the risk of melting when the temperature heats up and I'm dressed like an eskimo and make my cold, ironically, worse.
here is how i know you need electrical filters: when you take a worm and you stab it with electrodes and run things through an amp, you get some spikes, but you also get this stupid sawtooth wave at 60 Hz cos that's the mains frequency. so you filter that bullshit out, because it sucks
But then it could happen the opposite way where I go out in just a hoodie and jeans and don't wrap up warm for the temperature to take a turn for the worst and I come home all wet and even more cold.

It lies slain, killed in the year of 2002. Brutally slaughtered, by the dread monster.

Crap, now I'm doing it, too.
Imagining it with a French accent helps to get you back on base.
Androids always win. Even when it looks like they've lost.
