  1. https://youtu.be/lW8Z98pXuSE i am trying this later today

    (edit next two paragraphs)

    septabee is a free daw recently released put up for public early access. it's basically plugdata on steroids. the dev claims to have been working on it for 20000 hours, with the current version having been started on January of this year. apparently she made a whole programming language for it

    the daw is special bc there's individual dsp modules that let you do all sorts of crazy stuff. watch the video. and it's even more special because it apparently "codes itself" in real time to find the best way for what it's doing to be as fast as possible on any cpu. i believe this is what the programming language they made (b++) is for, the dev claims it's faster than c++ because of the live cpu optimization thing. again, watch the video

  2. John Tukey the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) inventor, who coined both "bit" and "software" died exactly 26 years ago today.

    The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), one of the most important algorithms in signal processing and data analysis, was introduced by Tukey & Cooley in 1965.

    In 1805, Gauss - studying the orbits of asteroids Pallas and Juno - came up with a method to interpolate their trajectories from discrete samples. What he came up with was mathematically very close to the modern FFT but Gauss never published that work, and didn’t analyze its computational complexity. It predated even Fourier’s 1822 work on heat diffusion - but without the framing or generalization that Cooley & Tukey would bring 160 years later.

    In 1965, Cooley & Tukey published their now-famous algorithm that reduced the cost of computing a Discrete Fourier Transform from 𝑂(𝑛²) to 𝑂(𝑛 log⁡𝑛). This leap made real-time signal processing and digital media compression feasible.

    From radio telescopes to JPEGs, from audio codecs to quantum mechanics - the FFT is everywhere. It’s one of the most important (and elegant) algorithms of the 20th century - rooted in the genius of Gauss, but brought to life in the computer age.
