  • It makes sense when you consider that it’s an artistic choice and not one of necessity. He presumably likes the very overtly autotuned sound for one reason or another.

    If you only autotune a little bit, it’s quite difficult to impossible to tell that it’s been used by ear alone. In order to get his signature autotune sound, you need to make it shift the input by a significant amount, so to get the correct note on the output that means you need to sing intentionally high or low of the intended output by some amount (you can probably change the tone by varying how far off you sing from the intended output).








  • I think your title is misleading. It was a joint effort between a DOE lab and a university lab Chinese lab.

    That aside nothing to me really seems to indicate a relationship between the tin catalysts for this and the euv droplets beyond they’re both tin, and small. For euv, they need to be propelled through the air (and liquid? [might be done by the laser, idr]), but this technology it sounds like they’re solids on a substrate.

    Being able to make tin particles a controlled size that small may help euv, but I think it’s a bit of a spurious connection.

    SCUBA, LASER, JPEG, ROM, etc. all break the “pronounced as the nested word” argument.

    I’m down for people to pronounce it however they please (assuming it’s recognizable as gif), but the post-hoc rationalizations trying to prove their side as the one true pronunciation are silly. The only rationalization that makes any sense to me is the “creator pronounces it as jif”, but language doesn’t work that way so even that doesn’t matter as far as “one true pronunciation” goes.




  • On that same vein, recipes where you have the same ingredient going to multiple places irritate me when they don’t specify quantity in the main recipe, but only in the ingredients list.

    For example if the ingredients are 2 cups of soy sauce, 1.5 cups for sauce, 0.5 cups for marinade, I want the recipe to say “add soy sauce to marinade (0.5 cups)” or something like that not, “add soy sauce to marinade” or “add remainder of soy sauce to marinade”.

    Remainder could work if a very recent instruction says something to the effect of “measure 2 cups of soy sauce, add 1.5 cups to sauce” so there is a remainder to add, not just “lol add the rest idiot”
