(, Mon 12 Apr 2021, 18:29, Reply)
This is a normal post it depends
if you have data points translated to pitch. which is the normal, mindless way of doing it, then what you're listening too is some kind or parabola jumbled up with statistical noise, and the scale is arbitrary. utter shit. the astronomy sounds, like the sound of Jupiter etc are all bullshit transpositions. Up 50 octaves so that you hear something. bullshit again. arbitrary again. OK with the actual space 'sounds' at least you have relative ratios. and at least there is less for the 'artist' to fuck up. I like your blind person answer. that is really the only practical use for this crap. if you can see, you're better off with a graph.
(, Mon 12 Apr 2021, 20:09, Reply)
This is a normal post How you represent visual data can be entirely arbitrary too.
Our ranges of audio and visual perception are themselves arbitrary. That's just a biological limitation that we need to work around in order to gain understanding.

Audio is a good way of representing phenomena with frequency*amplitude data. Visual representations of such things are counter-intuitive for most, and depending on your sample rate probably lose\destroy/misrepresent data. Most people could not tell a Beatles tune from a Bob Marley tune if you ask them to compare graphs of the sonic data, but could instantly tell one from the other if you played them.

Lots of astronomical audio isn't even transposed and we can hear it just fine. E.g. gravitational waves exist within the frequency range of human hearing, various radio sources are wide spectrum and can be accurately represented with bursts of filtered white noise.

You're not on ignore. You have bad emotional problems though. You should probably take a break from the internet, or at least this place. Work on your humility and empathy.

This is a normal post I think anthropomorphising animals is one of the reasons why a fair few of the animal welfare crowd are crackpots with little perspective
and this video just feeds into that. they're not little humans, they're coked-up fuck machines. If I had a button that could kill every bunny in australia I'd push it in an instant, and so would most other scientists who've been trying to do exactly that with myxo and calici. It's not the bunnies fault, it was the english settlers who fucked up, but I just like the native wildlife animals and plant species that are being pushed to extinction more, in a competitive match. and there's no shortage of bunnies in the world. It's like all those hundreds of thousands of people protesting fox hunting. It's a preposterous sport, and not pleasant for the foxes, but it's a just a few dozen of them each year FFS, and must be fun for the hounds. more foxes get hit by cars in london than ever was killed by some ponce in a red jacket. More wilderness areas is what people who care about animals really should be protesting about as a better use of their time, not cat lipstick or drinking straws. Britain's got fuck all wild areas, so where are all these animals you save going to go? Here endth the rant

The impulse to care for animals is a noble one, but even you’d admit that there a few in the movement whose eyes and arguments show the absolute certainty of the zealot, like anti abortionists who think it’s justified to kill doctors. I just reckon giving animals more wilderness space and leaving them the fuck alone is the most worthwhile thing we can do for them

As if it's defensible to hunt for sport because your chosen victims die in higher numbers in preventable accidents. As if that has any bearing on the value of their life.

As if the thrill of taking a life justifies it. What you have is a sickness.
