L'immagine mostra una facciata di un edificio storico illuminato notturnamente. La struttura è realizzata in pietra, con un portale centrale ad arco e finestre ad arco sopra. La luce è distribuita in modo simmetrico, con una luce bianca che illumina la parte centrale e una luce rossa che si estende sui lati. Questa illuminazione crea un effetto drammatico, accentuando la texture della pietra e le linee architettoniche. Sullo sfondo, si intravedono alcune finestre più piccole, anch'esse illuminate. La scena è tranquilla, con poche luci artificiali e un'atmosfera solenne.

L'immagine mostra una parete di pietra antica, illuminata da una luce rossa intensa che crea un'atmosfera misteriosa. La parete è costituita da blocchi di pietra di dimensioni diverse, con un piccolo finestone a griglia al centro, che lascia intravedere un po' di luce. Sotto la finestra, una catena è appesa alla parete, aggiungendo un elemento di storicità. In primo piano, un piccolo tavolino metallico con un candelabro accesa, con diverse fiamme che danzano, aggiunge un tocco di calore e contrasta con l'oscurità circostante. La luce rossa proietta ombre lunghe e distorte sulla parete, creando un effetto visivo suggestivo.

L'immagine mostra una torre notturna illuminata, con un grande orologio al centro. La torre è costruita in pietra e presenta un design architettonico classico, con dettagli decorativi e una struttura robusta. L'orologio, con numeri romani e mani che indicano l'ora, è illuminato da una luce blu, creando un contrasto con il buio circostante. Due luci gialle sono posizionate ai lati della torre, illuminando la base e mettendo in risalto la sua struttura. La parte inferiore della torre è decorata con una balaustra, e si possono vedere alcune aperture, probabilmente finestre o porte. L'immagine è scattata di notte, con il cielo completamente scuro, che accentua l'effetto luminoso della torre.

I recently read an article on how a particular strain of podcasting has died the death, and how another strain has gained ascendency in the podcasting world. There has been a pivot towards "chat show" format, apparently, at the expence of a "narrative" format.
As I continued reading, it became clear that the article concerned itself only with podcasts published as commericial ventures by corporations of one sort or another, and that the metric by which they judged success was revenue generated.
No hobbyists mentioned. No public dissemination podcasts mentioned. No struggling artists mentioned. Only filthy lucre! Ugh!
How anaemic is the commercial world! How narrow the vision of mercenary journalists who dance to their groat-tossing masters' drum!

One of my favorite things about podcasting is that the word itself says nothing about the content. It simply defines—tho things get fuzzy on the edges but we’re not discussing that right now—the delivery mechanism.
Articles like that be damned. Homogenizing podcasting is a fool’s errand. So is chasing trends in what works best as a niche medium.
Let’s keep podcasting weird! 😁

there are podcasts I've been listening to for close to 15 years now where the financial aspect is no more than "send me a couple of bucks if you have it to spare and liked the show", and they are still going strong and better than any of the rubbish on iHeartRadio.
Talking of which, I have heard ads on iHeartRadio podcasts *about* commercial podcasting. "Call us to find out how podcasting can drive your business profit!"
Here's the article: archive.is/riaUU
At no point does it claim that either form of podcast I mentioned is new. I did not make that claim, either.
Let's just all enjoy our weird little podcasts. Or the podcasts of our corporate overlords, really. I was complaining about the journalism.
Tempo 50 ist nicht mehr zeitgemäß.
Wie ich darauf komme? Im Jahr 1957 wurde "Tempo 50" innerhalb geschlossener Ortschaften festgelegt. Damals waren Pkw im Durchschnitt allerdings noch deutlich leichter als heutzutage. Die kinetische Energie, die bspw. ein Golf I bei 50 km/h erreicht hat, hat ein ID.4 bereits bei 30 km/h. Wenn Pkw immer größer und schwerer werden, sollte entsprechend auch die zulässige Höchstgeschwindigkeit angepasst werden.
Vielleicht sollte man nicht die Geschwindigkeit, sondern die kinetische Energie des Fahrzeugs limitieren, d.h. die zulässige Geschwindigkeit direkt von der Fahrzeugmasse abhängig machen?
Das könnte auch der #SUV-Seuche und der #Autopositas entgegenwirken.

Il dipartimento di stato di quale stato
Il dipartimento di Stato statunitense ha annunciato che la revoca del visto per Mahmud Abbas e il blocco all’emissione di visti per altri 80 funzionari dell’Autorità nazionale palestinese per permettergli di essere presenti all’Assemblea generale delle Nazioni Unite a New York. La decisione arriva in modo trasparente come risposta all’iniziativa di numerosi paesi occidentali di unirsi alla maggioranza globale di stati che riconoscono l’esistenza di uno stato palestinese, in rotta con la posizione minoritaria tenuta da Washington. La messa al bando di Abbas è un’azione molto grave, che ha solo un precedente: l’accordo tra ONU e il suo paese ospitante, gli Stati Uniti, obbliga il governo statunitense a permettere alle delegazioni di tutti gli stati membri di visitare New York per partecipare all’Assemblea generale. Già ora le Nazioni Unite riconoscono la Palestina come uno stato osservatore, e 147 stati — il 75% degli stati ONU — riconoscono l’esistenza dello stato palestinese. Il genocidio israeliano a Gaza ha reso il riconoscimento dello stato palestinese ancora più urgente: negli ultimi 10 anni hanno riconosciuto lo stato palestinese 14 stati — tra questi, 9 hanno annunciato l’intenzione di farlo solo da aprile a questa parte. Secondo la Casa bianca la decisione è giustificata dalla mancata condanna da parte di ANP degli attacchi del 7 ottobre — cosa falsa — e per le campagne condotte dall’Autorità palestinese per ottenere la persecuzione dei crimini contro l’umanità di Netanyahu, che l’amministrazione statunitense descrive come “lawfare,” una guerra legale — un termine che Trump ha usato molto anche in campagna elettorale per screditare i processi contro di lui.

Average weight for a starling is less than 100g. The whole thing with head and feathers and bones and whatever. You'd have to be very hungry to hunt that. And I suspect if you shoot at it you'd pulverize it completely.

I've been honking my seagull all morning, until my wife came in and caught me...
Now what do I do?
I would have understood this text quicker if the picture wasn’t of a bird.
Edit: wow, this is really amazing! You can jump to 17:40 to see the comparison, but it’s worth watching more of it.
There was an amusing short story about a guy who could do actual math in his head (I think it was by Asimov).
Edit: found it, it's "The Feeling Of Power" by Asimov.
Not to be a wet blanket, but every time this comes up I get annoyed by some factual inaccuracies in the articles about this. It is not digital! He drew an image on a computer, but converted it to an analogue spectrogram to store on the bird. That's neat as hell, but it's not digital. The image that he got back was slightly corrupted.
Now I would be fascinated to see a follow-up seeing if you can actually modulate a digital signal and have is survive a round trip through the bird bit-for-bit accurate. I suspect in reality it would be much lower data rate, but definitely not nothing!
The whole sequence is:
- Digitally synthesized spectrogram (lossless)
- Played through a DAC and speaker to produce an analogue signal (lossy)
- Heard by the bird (analogue, lossy)
- Reproduced by the bird (analogue, lossy)
- Captured by an ADC as a digital audio signal (lossy)
- Spectrum-analysed to observe a similar (but corrupted) reproduction of the shape in the original spectrogram
To be transferring digital information, we would instead need to modulate and demodulate the digital signal (exactly like an old modem) so that the analogue corruption does not affect the digital signal:
- Image file (lossless)
- Bit stream (lossless)
- Analogue modulation of bit stream played through DAC (lossy)
- Heard by the bird (lossy)
- Reproduced by the bird (lossy)
- Demodulated to recover exact bit stream despite distortion (lossless again)
- Decode bit stream to recover original image file, bit-for-bit perfect
I extremely doubt that this bird is capable of 2MB/s. For reference that would make it 280+ times fast than dialup, and barely slower than ADSL. This setup is basically just using the bird instead of a telephone line.
- Played through a DAC and speaker to produce an analogue signal (lossy)
- Analogue modulation of bit stream played through DAC (lossy)
These steps are literally the same thing. You’re converting some data into sound for the bird to hear.
Edit: Actually, most physical modulation schemes use sinusoids anyways. So that’s exactly the same as playing a spectrum.
Yes, the near-identical sentences (only drawing a distinction between the processes where one exists) would indicate that. The "heard by the bird" and "reproduced by the bird" steps were also the same. But this is necessary context to make clear the digital data ("bit-stream") that is being modulated into the signal.
It is far from "exactly the same". The similarity is only in that both go through the same analogue channel. The entire point is that the modulated signal can be reconstructed exactly, while the spectrogram cannot.
The article title says they converted a PNG and the bird was able to "recall the file", and yet it produced an indisputably different file. That it looks vaguely the same to the cursory human observer does not make it the same file.
The entire point is that the modulated signal can be reconstructed exactly,
But this isn’t true. Just because a signal is modulated doesn’t mean it can’t be distorted.
A spectrogram is just showing that arbitrary data can be sent though this channel. It’s literally a form of modulation.
A digital to analogue modulation scheme is able to exactly reconstruct the original digital signal within the design tolerances for noise and distortion. Yes, eventually a signal may degrade or be corrupted, but prior to that point the reproduction is literally and exactly perfect. That exactitude is just about the definition of a digital system.
This bird system is incapable of reproducing the input image of the bird exactly. It is not a digital communication system, unless you consider the "PNG" of the bird to have not been the message being carried.
I thought we were being pedantic here?
Yes, eventually a signal may degrade or be corrupted, but prior to that point the reproduction is literally and exactly perfect.
Modulation schemes are characterized via a probabilistic tolerance, so even when you are within the tolerances, you can get an incorrect value at some expected rate. Note that you can even define a modulation scheme with a high error rate and be ok with that.
That’s why I take issue with the concept of an exactly perfect reproduction. Usually there are layers above the digital modulation to handle these possibility to decrease the error rates even lower.
And no, I don’t consider the PNG to be the data carried. I think the way the author does the bandwidth calculations is incorrect.
No, I have been trying to actually be helpful and informative for people trying to understand this article and video, given that referring to what was done here as a digital system is functionally meaningless and misleading.
I am pretty sure the pedantry started with you talking about CPUs being electronic.
But at this point I believe your use of language in this discussion to be so absurdly reductive that I do not think this conversation is salvageable. What you appear to take issue with seems to keep changing and refining until the argument appears to be that any system that communicates information is apparently a digital communications system, so long as you can imagine an arbitrary scheme to interpret at least one bit of information from the signal, regardless of whether that was the message intended to be communicated.
It would appear we have ended up with a "digital" storage system wherein a human observes the signal and decides one bit of whether or not it looks like a bird. Though I suppose "bird" was the only symbol in the protocol, so it may actually be a zero-bit system.
If the scheme successfully communicates zero bits of information, you might as well stop bothering to listen for the signal, and miss nothing of value.
In fact I should probably do exactly that with this thread.
any system that communicates information is apparently a digital communications system, so long as you can imagine an arbitrary scheme to interpret at least one bit of information from the signal,
This has always been my point since the beginning! There exist very low bandwidth digital communication systems in real life, with less than one bit per second. The bandwidth available should be defined where something is digital or not.
regardless of whether that was the message intended to be communicated.
Seeing the bird in the spectrogram is quite intentional and sufficient to consider this a communications system.
It seems if instead of a bird picture, a random set of bits were encoded and then detected In the spectrogram, you’d consider this more of a digital system since instead of a human doing the check you use an algorithm?
Minor analogue distortion does not change the information content of the signal unless it is so bad as to flip a bit.
This isn’t true in the general case. In the real world, you can have all kinds of distortions: random noise, time shifts, interference from other signals, etc.
You don’t usually see the effects of these because the protocols are designed with the communication channel characteristics in mind in order to reproduce the original signal.
Using birds is just another communication channel with its own distortion characteristics.
Even if we call the digitally-generated spectrogram digital information, the bird simply did not reproduce it exactly. Whatever time, frequency, and amplitude resolution you apply to the signal, if it's low enough that the bird reproduced the signal exactly within that discretized scheme, then it simply did not achieve 2 MB/s. I would bet that the Shannon capacity of this bird is simply nowhere near 2 MB/s.
If your argument is that the bandwidth calculation is incorrect, then sure I think that’s fair.
But I don’t think it’s correct to say it’s not a digital channel juts because it doesn’t have optimal bandwidth.
I am not arguing that this is not possible. My original comment explicitly says I would like to see a follow up with actual modulation. But just because it is possible to run dialup over an analogue phone line does not mean that calling your grandma on that same phone is a digital communication system.
Some computers back in the day could modulate and record data on commercial audio cassettes. That does not mean that if I record something off the radio and play it back later that's a digital copy of the song.
To claim this is a digital system would require us to be so reductive as to redefine the meaning of the word.
That’s not really how it works in the real world. Usually you have both bandwidth and noise constraints.
Sure you can send something like a square wave but this isn’t practical for real communication channels. Typically you’re sending many sine waves in parallel with multiple amplitudes and phase offsets to represent a sequence of bits (QAM). Then on top of that you’d encode the original data with both a randomizer (to prevent long runs from looking like nothing) and error correction. So usually the system can handle some level of distortion.
What you’re hoping is that by the time the data reaches the user (really, Layer 3), all the errors have already been handled and you never see any issues.
The bird is just another type of noisy channel with its own distortion characteristics.
The point is that at the physical layer you still have a well defined log likelihood test to produce digital information. That's why QAM lasted so long even though it is not power efficient - because it has an analytical likelihood function.
This is the boundary between digital and analog communications. Since he did not use a digital modulation scheme, this would be a form of analog comms
Why couldn’t you have a likelihood function for the bird?
As a trivial case, you can just say: Does the spectrum look like a bird? Then you’d have a digital channel by your definition for a single bit.
The actual channel bandwidth is obviously higher than that.
Yes you could likely design an optimized modulation scheme to do this, likely some kind of bird specific frequency shift keying. You can also do any kind of quadrature modulation in the audio spectrum (original dialup used acoustic modems).
This person just didn't do that in this case. It's still a very cool experiment by YouTube maker standards though.
My point is that it doesn’t have to be optimal to be considered digital. Which in the general case means basically any communication channel can be digital.
If the argument is that they didn’t correctly calculate the bandwidth, then sure.

in reply to Coffeedate with ADHD • • •The image shows a screenshot of a social media post from a user named "memersga" posted on May 19, 2025. The post features a series of comments from another user named "the-gay-lady-of-ravenclaw-tower." The comments are humorous and satirical, critiquing the biblical account of creation and referencing ADHD. The first comment states that the user is a lifelong atheist who has never read the Bible but finds the account of creation to be indicative of ADHD. The second comment humorously describes the creation story as a project that the creator hyperfocused on for six days, then got tired and frustrated, leading to the flood. The third comment references a biblical verse about the passage of time and suggests that the creator should get tested. The user's profile picture is a rainbow flag, and the post is suggested for the viewer.
