You've worded this sarcastically but it does sound like a valid question.

The "first mention" link for 'Gödel, Escher, Bach' just goes to a mention of Gödel the mathematician. Looks like some false positives there. Understandably tricky to filter when books have difficult names like that.

I'm a little sad that they didn't link the obvious original inspiration for that test - this classic Audioholics forum post by Bob Dean from 2004: https://forums.audioholics.com/forums/threads/speakers-wh

What a cool idea. I'm really surprised that using big speakers as microphones still let you pick up the CRT whine way up at nearly 16KHz! I would have thought you'd be mostly picking up bass. I guess the size of a tweeter at least

The actual "ideal" rotation for maximum line length would be closer to 23° rather than 22°, right? Because Atan(9/21) = 23.20°. Also... could we go further? If we're treating the screen's content as an arbitrary pla

That's not even just sounds, the Ioniq doesn't even have gears, and those paddles usually control regen level instead. The entire experience of having an engine with gears in that video is simulated!

The article does say: "European bowling alleys have used string pinsetters for decades because they require less energy and maintenance. All you need is someone at the front counter to run back when the strings tangle. "But Americ

The article does not say this, and it was in the game options. You did need the right type of graphics card though.

Yeah, it's amazing what you can do with just a 1-bit pulse. You can even do multiple instruments[0] or win the loudness war[1]. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wV9PfEFw78I [1] https://www.youtube.com&#x2

I remember first seeing that quote on a Kotaku article, where they had unfortunately misinterpreted "the crap sound of 8-bit" as referring to retro videogame music made on 8-bit CPUs, rather than (what he was actually referring to

It's a funny thing psychologically. I think it makes us feel smart to upvote the person saying it's all nonsense. Feels like now we're one level up in understanding. And that feeling makes it even harder to think about how ma
