Když uši slyší, co slyšet chtějí. Babišův údajný výrok pohledem forenzního fonetika - Lupa.cz

Fonetická analýza dokáže odhalit, co bylo řečeno i na poměrně nekvalitní nahrávce. Někdy je správné určení obsahu promluvy otázkou téměř života a smrti.

Rjalker: Here’s how to make The Murderbot Diaries 80% less casually transphobic, for each book and short story published so far as of 11/21/22

This post is literally just me picking out a section from each book and adding in things to explicitly establish Murderbot’s pronouns, normalize the characters asking eachother what their pronouns are/listing them in their fucking brainchip social media profiles, and maybe even more importantly, making it so that sex is not equated with gender.Murderbot and all the other bots and constructs so far being agender because they’re all robots (shut up if you’re going to argue semantics) who don’t have genitals is transphobic.

Yamaha Tenori-on

The Yamaha Tenori-on is an electronic musical instrument designed and created by the Japanese artist Toshio Iwai and Yu Nishibori of the Music and Human Interface Group at the Yamaha Center for Advanced Sound Technology. Description The Tenori-on consists of a hand-held screen in which a sixteen-by-sixteen grid of LED switches are held within a magnesium plastic frame. Any of these switches may be activated in a number of different ways to create sounds. Two built-in speakers are located on the top of the frame, as well as a dial and buttons that control the type of sound and beats per minute produced. There are two versions of the device available. The original TNR-W (Tenori-On White) features a magnesium frame, 256 rear panel LEDs and can run on batteries whilst the more affordable TNR-O (Tenori-On Orange) features a white plastic frame, has no rear LEDs and does not take batteries. The modes and sound sets in these instruments are the same. Both devices have an LCD screen on the bottom edge of the frame. Using the connection function, it is possible to play a synchronized session, or to send and receive songs...
