13:32:57shinmeraeudoxia: ay man, haven't seen you in a while
13:35:43eudoxiashinmera: hi shin, I've wanted to watch the stream but just couldn't catch it in a long while
13:36:05shinmeraThat's alright, happy to have ya around whenever you can :)
13:36:24shinmeraI also haven't been streaming as much these days
13:37:47shinmeraHow have you been? What are you up to these days?
13:38:39eudoxiaWell I'm good, I'm working on a little compiler project, not much going on really :) how are you? I hope you're staying safe and healthy
13:39:35shinmeraI'm generally doing ok, no corona cases in my immediate family. Just haven't slept well today, that's a bit of a downer.
13:41:02eudoxiaSleep is important. I've only recently got that under control by making like a grid where I tick off days where I go to bed before midnight. It helps me like maintain a streak of good sleep hygiene.
13:42:03shinmeraI'm pretty good at keeping a schedule. Just sometimes have shitty sleep because of weather.
13:44:11selwyni'm sleeping better than i have a right to on >~ 6 cups of coffee a day
13:46:36shinmeraOnce you develop a coffee habit you have about the same energy with coffee as one would without any
15:09:30selwynshinmera: i've been thinking about how ears can distinguish which direction sounds come from by a 90 degree phase shift and i'm completely stumped
15:10:15shinmeraI wouldn't know either. All I can figure is that it's via minute delay differences between the left and right ear.
15:10:23shinmerawhich the phase shift approximates
15:11:43selwynthat part makes sense, but i don't see why the amount you have to shift is 90 degrees regardless of the frequency
15:12:16shinmeraI assume it's just a trick and happens to work out well enough.
15:12:34shinmeraNote that this is just the way Dolby surround is specified, at least the early variants.
15:12:47shinmerait's very likely there's other ways to do it.
15:13:04markamatuWait... It's 90 degrees regardless of the direction? I don't get it.
15:13:23shinmeraNo no, we're talking about an upmixing from stereo to surround.
15:13:45shinmeraThe back channels are formed by a delay and phase shift of -90/+90
15:14:54markamatuOkay, now I'm interested as well.
