TimewornTraveler, in Yes. We're better than you.

Prof from Germany explained that 1 in Germany has a flag so 7 must have a slash. Seemed good enough of a compromise to slash all the 7s and give 1s flags and feet.

Pulptastic,

Same in Brazil for the 7 (but no feet on the 1). That’s where I picked up the habit.

Aggravationstation, in Compulsion

Everything in my house uses 24 hour time.

Except for my Cuisinart coffee maker.

Wouldn’t mind too much but the programme is set to 12:00pm by default and the clock to 12:00am. Caught me out the first few times I set it.

Surely it’s more likely someone is going to want coffee automatically brewed in the morning rather than the afternoon/ evening and that they’re setting it up in the afternoon/evening rather than the early hours of the morning?

Who would have thought that the intersection of Starting a fight, Petting a dog, and Consoling a child was Pauly Shore.

Let’s have a no party system like George Washington advised.

Kusimulkku,

It’ll just end up the same way with unofficial groupings.

kamen, in I've unfortunately made this mistake at Costco of all places.

They should have like regret baskets midway through the store.

I will go where one has gone…many times before.

afraid_of_zombies,

Which is why you see empty carts at Home Depot in aisles. It isn’t an accident.

motor_spirit,

If they had a dom on staff to slut shame us a bit when we get the regret basket, that would be amazing! 🤤

kamen,

Whatever floats your boat!

ratson, in It's just the most 100 recently saved songs. The fuck.

On the desktop spicetify solves this with the shuffle+ plugin. On mobile you can browse to a file in a playlist and start from there instead of shuffling the playlist. Turning off Automix also helps.

I started slashing my 7s and 0s in university; it’s just easier to distinguish them thanks to the abundance of Greek letters, symbols, and notations used in engineering. Also my bad printing was further marred by constantly nodding off while taking notes, so anything to improve clarity.

Sotuanduso,

slackassassin,

Ya. Math and engineering totally ducked up my handwriting. I mean, it was already pretty bad. But all those other letters didn’t help!

Knusper,

ξ fucked me up a lot more than it probably should have…

klemptor,

In undergrad we called that tornado because of how our Math Phys professor wrote it.

The_v,

I spent 10 years in research, slashing your 7’s and 0’s is absolutely required in data keeping. Every intern/tech I had got the handwriting lesson.

I also change how they wrote capital G after too many “is that a 6 or a G” moments.

cheeseburger,
@cheeseburger@lemmy.ca avatar

Absolutely G’s and 2s!

modifier,

Exact same except I didn’t go to college and it was 100% because I couldn’t read my own writing well enough to distinguish without them.

rothaine,

All about slashing Z’s

intensely_human, in It's just the most 100 recently saved songs. The fuck.

But you can make it actually random by doing this:

  • Tap your profile picture
  • Tap settings
  • Tap Playback
  • Toggle the “Automix” switch to off

Now you have truly random shuffle

Caesium,

you my sir are godsend

Hildegarde,

I doubt it. True random shuffle play is rare, because humans don’t understand the chaos of true random generation, we see patterns in it and assume it’s not random.

A truly random shuffle can play the same song twice. A truly random shuffle can play multiple songs from the same artist in a row. In the fullness of time all of these will happen with a true random shuffle.

Nothing does that these days. Nearly everything “random” is algorithmically engineered to be less random so it feels more random to humans.

Tidal does and it’s annoying af.

HubertManne,
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

now I wish for a more nuanced configed shuffle because I totally love having a few songs from the same artist back to back but not the same one.

intensely_human,

You can definitely make a truly random shuffle that doesn’t play the same song twice within a gap of ten songs.

You just make a list of all the song IDs that aren’t in the last ten played, and grab an item at a random index.

Randomness is a texture not a shape. Dice are random despite only being able to present six outcomes.

Honytawk, (edited )

But then it is not truly random, that is the point.

The same song 10 times in a row also has a chance of happening in a truly random list.

Eranziel,

Random pick without replacement is no less random than random pick with replacement. You just have a continuously smaller pool to pick from.

It’s absolutely possible to have better randomness/shuffle without repeating songs so often.

intensely_human,

You’re thinking of a random sequence. We’re talking about shuffling according to a random seed.

vrighter,

there exist other random distributions than the uniform distribution

ElderWendigo,

A truly random walk through a playlist might choose the same song twice in a row. A truly random shuffle would only have each entry appear once and you’d have to play past the end of the shuffle to hear a song repeat.

emeralddawn45, (edited )

I’m pretty sure this is wrong. From what I understand, automix just blends together the ending and beginning of the two songs. For example if there’s silence at the end of one song, or ‘compatible’ music, the ‘ai’ will try to smooth out the transition like a dj would while making a mix.

Edit: yup, that’s what it is support.spotify.com/ca-en/…/tracks-transitions/

filcuk, (edited )

Turn off* cross play.
That will give more randomness, but I still get a bunch of songs on repeat in a 3K song playlist. Annoying.

intensely_human,

Well it’s some setting. I recently made the switch and now I’m hearing random songs I haven’t heard in years. It’s actually sampling my whole collection as far as I can tell.

Ultraviolet,

Often completely botching existing transitions on, say, two consecutive songs on an album that already flow into one another.

intensely_human,

Me too. Then one day I thought about how it was just unnecessary extra steps and I stopped. I also used to do a fancy 1.

Denalduh,

Same dude. My 7s are so unfancy now.

Filthmontane,

I started using that back in middle school, too, but I never gave up.

True, but it’s an old habit to keep it at an even 8 bits and it’s a visual placeholder for me, s’all. Also, I can’t even remember the last time I worked with a nibble, even with simple MCUs.

Sir, you are mistaken. Aladdin was a street rat who disappeared under mysterious circumstances. This carpet is the property of Prince Ali (mighty is he!) Ababwa. Totally different person.

Yes he's just not as cut as you're expecting.

ScrollerBall,

Well his name is Ben Swolo, so yes.

myster0n,

I think he does have an anti-lock braking system

someguy3,

Absolutely. Abs do not mean a cut 6 pack.
