Ok gevonden. Het algoritme van Bluesky zorgt ervoor dat zachte geluiden ‘net zo hard’ worden als de harde geluiden. Dat is prima als het om (luide) muziek gaat of spraak, maar minder geschikt voor opnames met groot dynamisch bereik. Heel erg jammer, wellicht is uploaden naar youtube dan toch beter?
Hier kan Disney welhaast een puntje aan zuigen. Wat een prachtige locatie en mooi om de rust bij de dieren te zien.
Betreft de ‘ruis’ van Bluesky. Wat raar dat dit ruis toevoegd, ik zal eens wat testjes doen en evt contact met ze opnemen want het is zonde van de klank.
I missed It was just and Accident and heard great things, but i agree on OBAA. Loved the spatial mix and the characteristic sounds that never grabbed too much attention away from the action. Sinners had a great sound too, but music design felt more important. Great work in all contestant though

Enjoyed an evening of #Acousmatic magic yesterday! Great new sound works and some golden oldies at #Sonology & #IRCAM presentation. Lovely looking speakers but most importantly, great sounding
Nice list! I dare you ;)
What about best sound? Which film told the story through sonic magic? (Not music)
The other caveat is that it is locked in a platform that you a subscription for. So if you ever think it becomes to expensive or limited.. you might think ‘i’ll just go someplace else’ and then you realise you cannot.

🟢 Israel agreed to a “ceasefire” in Gaza on October 10. Since then, Israeli forces have: ➤ Launched 852 airstrikes and artillery attacks ➤ Opened fire on Palestinians 665 times ➤ Committed 1,856 armed violations on the ground 🔴 Israel Killed: ➤ 198 Children ➤ 85 Women ➤ 23 Elderly Citizens 648 Palestinians total 🔴 Israel Wounded: ➤ 507 Children ➤ 337 Women ➤ 89 Elderly Citizens 1666 Palestinians total The Palestinian resistance in Gaza shared on Day 137 (February 25) of the “ceasefire” a report detailing “sustained and systematic” Israeli violations of the truce.
➤ It recorded that children, women, and the elderly make up 47.2% of those killed during the “ceasefire.” ➤ It documents 1,856 Israeli field violations, averaging 13.5 violations per day, including live fire, drone strikes, artillery shelling, demolitions, and naval gunfire. ➤ The most severe violations, according to the report, concern aid. The ceasefire requires 600 trucks per day, including 50 fuel trucks. The document states that only 43.2% (260 of 600 agreed trucks) have entered overall, and just 15.1% of required fuel. ➤ It accuses Israel of providing “misleading figures” to mediators and refusing independent monitoring, calling the fuel restrictions a deliberate obstruction of recovery and basic services. ➤ Only 1,753 of 4,200 scheduled travelers were allowed to pass through Rafah in both directions — a compliance rate of just 41.7%. The report concludes that the violations form a “continuous and systematic pattern” that has stripped the ceasefire of practical substance.

Sound is typically an afterthought because it’s misunderstood. It’s one of the most powerful tools in storytelling. It’s never too early to think about it. Make room at the table for your sound collaborators in pre production.

An infographic from Our World in Data titled "Global land use for food production" uses a series of stacked horizontal bar charts to visualize the distribution of Earth's surface and the disproportionate land requirements of livestock. The first bar shows Earth's surface is 71% ocean and 29% land (141 million km²); the land surface is then broken down into 76% habitable land, 10% glaciers, and 14% barren land. Of the habitable land, 45% (48 million km²) is used for agriculture, while 38% is forests and 13% is shrubland. The agricultural land bar reveals a major disparity: 80% (38 million km²) is dedicated to livestock (meat, dairy, and textiles) including grazing land and cropland for feed, while only 16% is used for crops for direct human consumption and 4% for non-food crops. Finally, two smaller bars at the bottom contrast this land use with nutritional output, showing that while livestock uses 80% of agricultural land, it only provides 17% of global calories and 38% of global protein, whereas plant-based foods provide 83% of calories and 62% of protein.
80% of agricultural land is used for livestock (and textiles), yet this huge land use provides only 17% of our calories and 38% of our protein.
16% of the land used for crops provides 83% of our calories and 62% of our protein. It's past time we rethink what we eat.
i think lots of people underestimate how badly these “AI” companies want people to be unable to afford computers. they view personal computing as a roadblock to their desire for complete end-to-end centralization. the fact that their tech is putting hardware out of reach is not just a happy accident
We have two dominant visions for digital tech: one from major corporations that maximizes profit at any cost, and another based on cyberlibertarian ideals that assumes you must code to participate in society.
We need another: where the public sector builds and funds tech for the broad public good.
Token Anxiety Nikunj Kothari C @nikunj • Feb 13 A friend left a party at 9:30 on a Saturday. Not tired. Not sick. He wanted to get back to his agents. Nobody questions it anymore. Half the room is thinking the same thing. The other half are probably checking the progress of their agents. At a party. All the parties are sober now. Young people don't drink because they're going back to work after. Not inspired by Bryan Johnson, although that's probably a factor. The buzz they want now runs on tokens per day.
I keep noticing it on walks through the Mission. Laptops glowing everywhere. Cafes, sidewalks, heck even park benches. People walking with screens open like a flashlight guiding them somewhere. Less drunk laughter on the streets these days. More keystrokes. Dinner conversations used to start with "what are you building?" That's over. Now it's "how many agents do you have running?" People drop the number the way they used to drop their follower count. Quietly competitive. The flex isn't what you've accomplished anymore. It's what's working while you're sitting here not working. The vocabulary is what really gets me though. People describe models the way sommeliers describe wine. This one has better taste. That one hallucinates with more confidence. Opus is bold, Codex is smooth. They talk about harnesses and reins like they're controlling horses. Invisible whips directing invisible labor. Someone at a dinner said they keep
labor. Someone at a dinner said they keep "Claude on a tight leash for code review but give it more slack for creative work." We've started borrowing the language of how we treat animals for something none of us actually understand yet. Waking up and checking what your agents produced overnight is the first thing now. Before coffee. Before texts. You open your laptop and grade homework you assigned in your sleep. Some of it is good. Most needs rework. But you start shipping a plan before you sleep just so you can wake up to more code written overnight. Saturdays became uninterrupted build windows. No meetings, no Slack, twelve hours of you and your agents. Sunday morning X is all terminal screenshots and shipping receipts. "What'd you ship this weekend?" replaced "what'd you do this weekend?"
The anxiety is rational, which is why it sticks. Every week some new benchmark drops that makes last month's workflow feel prehistoric. Codex ships overnight processing. Opus gets faster. Context windows double. None of it reduces the pressure. It multiplies it. You can do more now. And someone already is. The window to be first at anything feels like it's shrinking by the day. Literally, by the day. I replaced Netflix with Claude Code. I lie in bed thinking about what I can spin up before I fall asleep, what can run while I'm unconscious. Reading a novel feels indulgent now. Watching a movie without a laptop open feels wasteful. This voice in my head that says "something could be running right now" just doesn't shut off. I'm not even building a company. I'm just addicted to building my random ideas. Everyone here knows they should step away more. That's not the problem. The problem is what your brain does when you try. I still take a x ss walks. The agents come with me now.

i think i mostly echo this for myself. with so much that can be done, i often feel like i *should* be doing something, always
Somethings missing in his history lesson: Colombus started the whole stolen ground business, after Leif Erikson set foot first. The Dutch started New Amsterdam and sold/traded it with the Brits to become New York.
But way before that: people were arriving and mixing it up 14000 years ago.

Outside in the evening. An office building with video and the words "Palantir Powers Fascism" projected at top. Below, a crowd of people with signs and candles memorializing people who have died at the hands of ICE.
Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #AbolishICE #ICEOut #Palantir #PaloAlto

As these teens describe, AI can diminish human relationships; devalue art; threaten the environment; lead to laziness; give unreliable results; pose privacy concerns; and be misused.
So, please, stop with the narratives of inevitability and let's embrace a pedagogy and politics of refusal.

It was! We were ‘unlucky’ with soft weather (too warm for this month), but got some great material. Learned a lot from George Pete and Sten. If you ever have a chance to join George some place, i highly recommend!
Spent the week in Romania on Field Recording Expedition led by George Vlad with Pete Smith / Sten Kloot. We recorded beautiful ambiences and animals ( #wolves and #bizon!) in ultra quiet forest and on ice lakes. Here’s a quick impression in some photo’s. #fieldrecording #bucovina #winter
Haha, that should be fine just drive!
Did you manage to get it home?
