#DSP
Will begin the process of porting bits of sndkit and graforge to my Rust library [0], as part of December Adventure.
No promises about daily consistency, since I'm living a dual life over at @patchlore.
I log hours for all my work now, so I'll eventually be tracking progress for this stuff here:

My recommended reading list on digital signal processing #DSP for undergrad #EE students:
MUST READ
• The Scientist and Engineer's Guide to Digital Signal Processing—Smith (basic introduction)
• Understanding Digital Signal Processing—Lyons (advanced introduction)
• Digital Signal Processing—Oppenheim (comprehensive classic; also see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkvEM5Y3N60&list=PL8157CA8884571BA2)
• An Algorithm for the Machine Calculation of Complex Fourier Series—Cooley (the origin of the species, as it were)
SHOULD READ
• MATLAB Digital Signal Processing System Toolbox—MathWorks (for basic lab work)
• Digital Signal Processing using Arm Cortex-M based Microcontrollers: Theory and Practice— Ünsalan (for advanced lab work)
• Digital Audio Signal Processing—Zölzer (for practical knowledge)
• Wavelets and Filterbanks—Strang (more EE perspective)
• Digital Filters—Hamming (another classic by a pillar of DSP)
• Fourier Series—Tolstov (comprehensive theory)
Yeah, I understand that.
But do you think you could pay on time each week for your turoring?
Having no money for food or medication is really tough.

I recently found on Cornell #arXive a new pre-print (2023) on #RNN and #LSTM by Alex Sherstinsky of MIT. Through the years, I've read numerous papers on RNNs, starting with Rumelhart's 1986 paper. But this one is, by far, the most detailed tutorial not only on RNNs but also on LSTMs.
The complete derivations of both forward (inference) and backward (training) passes of the learning algorithm use only basic calculus and matrix algebra, drawing intuitive analogies to digital signal processing #DSP. And the equations are complete and detailed enough to be implemented by the student, directly in software. In my opinion, every undergrad EE and CS studying #DeepLearning #NeuralNetworks should read this superb introduction.

Hey! If you know how to write clean #python, there's still some GNU Radio #hacktoberfest low-hanging fruit issues that could use your help. Not all of these require any #DSP knowledge.
Many of them are just a place where you can showcase how well you can write good Python!
For example, @gnuradio has configuration system, and it's seriously undertested. Add good test coverage!
https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio/issues/1010
Also, look at the other issues tagged "hacktoberfest" or "good first issue"!

J’utilise beaucoup d’approximations de fonctions (trigo, exp/log, …) dans mon code. Elles sont plus rapide à évaluer ce qui est important en traitement audio temps réel.
Une caractéristique importante de ces approx est leur précision, résultant d’un compromis avec la vitesse.
J’en ai toute une collection que je tiens à jour, avec tests de vitesse et précision sur diverses architectures.
Je me suis dit que ce serait une bonne idée d’en tracer les graph d’erreurs détaillés.

First, the government.
#AKP: 242 in favor, 1 against, 20 absent
#MHP: 49 in favor, 1 invalid
#YRP: 3 in favor, 2 absent,
#HÜDAPAR: 4 absent
#DSP: 1 in favor
Very surprising to see one against vote from the ruling AKP. It was from Burdur MP, Mustafa Oğuz. I don't know anything about him, he was probably just confused. Two things to underline. First, there is not a single absent MP from the far-right nationalist MHP. Second, all four MPs from #Kurdish #Islamist Hüdapar were absent.
This is our reality.
This the choice countless Australians are having to face each & every day.
Assuming they have the privilege to have a roof over their head.
Poverty is a political choice.
Give us the tools and the support to get out of poverty.

Lotta #FFT #dsp replies. Didn't even occur to me this q sounded like that. I don't think it is
Given measured event times
t0 = 00:00
t1 = 01:59
t2 = 02:57
t3 = 04:50
t4 = 08:24
...
a priori: period is roughly 1h and is changing length slowly
Eyeballing this data, I can see that t1->t2 must be one period of 58m. Then I can tell that t0->t1 is a 60 and a 59 and t2->t3 is 57+56. So I know the period is changing 1m/cycle.
Now do it with noisy data, but answer is approximate

I’m implementing a #vocoder #audio effect for my #PédaleVite (#DIY #guitar & #bass pedalboard).
I based my design on what I wrote a long time ago for the Ohm Studio built-in FXs.
It sounds nice at the moment but I see a lot of sonic improvements to do.
It runs like breeze on a desktop CPU but loads significantly (22 % in a mono setup) the poor #RaspberryPi4 Cortex A72 when all features are activated and modulated. Time to start aggresive optimisations!
This is how our government ensure people in poverty stay there.
Whilst we slowly starve, struggle to find a roof over our heads they boast about a $22 billion surplus whilst giving further tax breaks to the wealthy.
They simply don’t care about the disabled, the downtrodden, the hard working members of society.
ICYMI our politicians had been hard at work to ensure the funds of that $22 billion surplus never ended up where they were needed.
Furthermore, they made sure it wouldn’t reach the pockets of the most needy and vulnerable.

#HowToThing #015 — A special one: Creating a polyphonic & multitimbral synth with stochastic sequencer to generate offline audio (*not* WebAudio!), rendered via fibers (co-routines) and exporting the result as WAV file. Each synth voice uses a randomized config & FX pipeline for each note played (osc → adsr → SVF → filter delay line). Generated audio is attached.
Key packages used:
- https://thi.ng/dsp: Signal generators & effects
- https://thi.ng/dsp-io-wav: WAV file format export
- https://thi.ng/fibers: Time-sliced audio processing
- https://thi.ng/rdom: Reactive UI construction/updates

First meaningful plot for my project. It's a WDF model of a parallel diode clipper (like those in many distortion pedals).
I can adjust the number of forward or reverse diodes to change the amount of positive or negative clipping.

🎈✨ After 2.5 years of development, I'm excited to have released Facet v1.0.0! 🎉🎂
Facet is a live coding environment for algorithmic composition and synthesis.
With a code editor in the browser and a pair of NodeJS servers, it can generate, transform, and sequence audio, MIDI, and OSC data.
There are over 150 methods which can be combined in numerous ways to create unique DSP algorithms. These methods create and modify arrays of floating-point numbers which become lossless audio files or MIDI/OSC patterns.
In order to play back synthesized audio patterns, Facet uses a Max abstraction as a "receiver" for up to 4 channels of audio, and from Max it can go anywhere. The Max abstraction also pipes OSC out of its fifth outlet, making it possible to "live code" a prepared Max patch.
Also included in the repo are two Max for Live devices (stereo and 4 channel version), allowing you to send audio directly into Ableton Live tracks. With this setup, you can also create MIDI CC mappings to control Live device parameters.
If working with MIDI or OSC only, Facet can run as a standalone system, making it possible to run on a Raspberry Pi or computers with less CPU resources.
Facet runs on MacOS, Windows, and Linux.
I do enjoy spam threats from the government.

Howdy tooters, any ideas how to compress floyd-steinberg dithered b/w images? The result doesn't need to be 1:1 with the original, it just has to look good. Traditional lossless compressors struggle with these. I have some ideas that I'm yet to try, but would love some more.

@acousticmirror @daviwil #faust is so mind blowing tbh. its just so good, you can pick up any paper and implement it in minutes just from the diagrams, without even actually reading the paper. and the workflow of the diagrams hot reload is super satisfying. its honestly the best example of a the power #DSL(s) can offer. if you're already familiar with zero-delay #DSP you can pick it up in 5 minutes, and port things that require a small mountain of #csound code to like, 10 lines of faust in 15 minutes. its bafflingly good, and extremely declarative. if you understand a design — or hell, better yet, even if you *don't* understand it but have it ready at hand — you can implement it at the speed of reading.
last I was using it about 2 years ago it suffered from not having a proper fft story, which is certainly a significant area to not cover, but spectral processing is kinda nerdy anyway lol. what Faust offers is the best possible set of tools for getting deep and dirty with the most fundamental object of interest to the real dub heads — infinite impulse response filters, and the precise control over non-linearities they offer as elaborated in the filter theory of Vadim Zavalishin.

@black_intellect I'm sorry, but the way *I* read this, it's DSP's choice to be a vendor for only one company: Amazon. Amazon does not need to be a part of their negotiations. #DSP has a contract with the drivers already. What part of business do these drivers not understand?
If you want to work FOR #amazon, work FOR them, not a vendor!
As it is, I feel nothing for the drivers. I work FOR #uber. We have walked off the job to protest before. We got changes.

Here's what that means: when an advertiser wants to place an ad, it contracts with the "#DemandSidePlatform" (#DSP) to seek out a chance to put an ad in front of a user based on nonconsensually gathered surveillance data about a potential customer.
The DSP contacts an ad-exchange - a marketplace where advertisers bid against each other to cram their ads into the eyeballs of a user based on surveillance data matches.

As programmers, we often read about about CISC and RISC cores, but Sega’s SVP chip used a #DSP core.
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms require a large number of mathematical operations to be performed quickly and repeatedly on a series of data samples.
Based on a #DSP core, the SVP chip allows the Genesis to render real-time polygons and provides an "axis transformation unit" to handle scaling & rotation.
Virtua Racing (1994) was the only game released with this chip, and the only Genesis cartridge with any enhancement chip!
The Sega Virtua Processor (SVP) was a 23 Mhz custom-designed Genesis-compatible #DSP chip to enhance graphics and sound.
The SVP chip basically served as an extra processor, allowing games to push faster polygons than what was possible with the vanilla Genesis hardware.

I'm working on an experiment involving embedding audio samples
I'm performing feature extraction using "Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients" (I don't understand very well but thankfully there are good libraries). That gives vectors which can be embedded down to 2D after a bit of cleanup and post-processing

Hi, my name is Mads and I am an electronic music composer/producer and software developer. I enjoy making experimental electronic music and #techno using DIY software and hardware. I work at Torso Electronics by day, making electronic music instruments for the future.
All of this is done with a mixture of #supercollider, #cpp, and #dsp if you're curious.
I am also a massive #tea nerd.
I publicize some of my code/hardware here
Just heard back from GRIT's owner, who tells me the problems other #DSP owners have had was not her experience, and that she chose to close her business to "focus on other tasks."
I have updated the story with her comments.

What happens to George when the same state that has refused to offer him the supports to live enthusiastically informs him that he qualifies to die?
The Australian state pays a *significant* amount of money to support me and people like me. What happens when they figure out instead of paying our #NDIS plans every year they can just pay a one-time cost to off us?
If this scares you, I'm glad. It scares me.

Many disabilities are similar: we are among the lowest-valued people in the world.
I want to thank
@mssinenomine@twitter.com
for her incredible reporting on #MAiD over the course of years: most things I learned about MAiD were either from her, or via people I found from her page.
For the rest I've been advocating on these issues & studying policy for about a decade.
The pressures disabled people face in #Australia are not altogether very different from those of us in #Canada. Nearly half of disabled Australians live in poverty, over twice the OECD average and 2.5 times the Australian average: https://www.aruma.com.au/about-us/about-disability/disability-statistics/
https://justiceandpeace.org.au/living-with-disability/
We have 2x the unemployment rate & are more at risk of domestic violence, sexual assault, & mental illness. 100,000s of us sit on pensions that are half the Henderson poverty level, and less than 1% of rentals are even affordable to a person on the #DSP: https://www.miragenews.com/hearing-to-inquire-into-experiences-of-poverty-844466/
Our government has steadfastly rolled back pandemic protections over the last year: they know this plan will mass-kill disabled people, and create new disabled people, and they don't care.
So what’s going to happen when the state, refusing to offer enough resources to live, starts offering death on demand?
Many people don’t even qualify for disability services: non-citizens, except for refugees & asylum-seekers, can't get #Medicare (health care).
Non-citizens don't qualify for the #NDIS (support services) at all, regardless of disability severity.
Even citizens can't get the DSP (pension/money) without 10 years' residency and their condition being "fully treated" & "stabilised."
What does this mean?

I guess I should put some kind of tag cloud here of stuff I'm interested in? Maybe #physics, #Linux, #Debian, #manufacturing, #DSP, #Python, #Numpy, #math (more #algebra than #analysis), #raytracing, #commonsbasedpeerproduction, #creativecommons, #piracy, #scihub, #libgen, #emergence, #solarpunk, #history (especially #Hellenistic and #Mohist), #UX, #HCI, #controltheory, #lifesupport, and #infosec.
I'm a retired software engineer in #PDX. I worked on #LLVM and other #compilers. Earlier, I did #DSP and #embedded computing. I was trained in #mathematics originally. I like #electronics and #microcontrollers.
I started a #woodworking hobby. I prefer to work with hand tools and go slow. I'm not starting a table factory to feed my family, so it's okay.
I learned recently that I'm #ActuallyAutistic. Currently recovering from #burnout that's likely related to this.
