This is quite important (and funny as usual). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ykvf3MunGf8 AI chatbots are already doing significant harm, and having "talk with Jesus" as a service... has potential to do way more. Does "AI cult" sound like fun? Some laws were needed years ago.

@jarkko No need to google, Covox is resistor ladder on parallel port, I built one because, well, purchasing power parity. I would not be surprised if it still was here somewhere.

@jarkko Thank you. Other suggestion I got was Playstation 1 sound subsystem, which AFAICT should be quite similar.

Nevim, co to tam venku lita za hmyzaky, ale rozhodne na ty kridla nemaj papiry. Kone v lese totalne nastvany. Jedu na kole a chapu proc: Nad cestou roj cehosi, co proste neuhyba, takze kdyz se clovek pokusi projet, hmyzaky proste sejme. 5 na jedny nohavici, 10 na druhy, a tak 2 ve vystrihu... A teda povetsinou jsou nejspis dal letuschopny. Stesti ze jsem mel bryle a zavrenou pusu.

Kdyz udelate tu chybu, a "inteligentni" asistence O2 popisete, co mate za problem, zacne vam recitovat novinky na viva+. Prerusit nejde. Ale muzete zavesit, a vybrat *24.

"Pavle, chtel bych jit tady doprava na travu."
"No tak jdi."
"Ale ja bych chtel jit tady..."
"No jdi."
"Ne, Ty mi nerozumis. Etiketa vyzaduje, ze pujdes taky."
"Etiketa?"
"Copak Te ve skole nic nenaucili? Kun je zvire jake?"
"Bylozrave, a to ja jaksi nejsem, takze se past nepujdu, diky."
"Ne, kun je zvire stadove, a jeden kun neni stado, takze proste pujdes taky."
Chvili na nej koukam. Taky na me kouka. Takze ja jsem stado. Fajn.

Ok, co se da delat, jdu za nim. A hele, jit prvni mu nevadi, dokonce si pamatuje ze kdyz za nim zacnu poskakovat, ma naklusat. Na louce se rozhlidne, pozdravi se s druhym konem, a zacne se spokojene past. Ted uz jsou oni dva stado, a ja muzu jit.

Jako jo, horsemani maji pravdu ze kone obcas chteji vedeni. Jen to proste neznamena to co z toho bezne vyvozujou ... kone fakt nepotrebujou napojovat v kruhovce.

@jarkko I don't think I'm looking for "better SID". Lets say I'm designing sound system for 1995 era hardware. Would I design "better Paula" or something else completely?

@jarkko Ok so I'm playing with "fantasy consoles", and they are quite related to historical hardware. Sound system is quite complex, and I'm looking for historical inspiration.

AFAICT first step is 1-bit beeper a-la Sinclair Spectrum, next step is PSG in Commodore C64, and next one is Amiga 500 with basically tracker modules done in hardware.

What would be "next step" after that, and is there good documentation or youtube video about it?

Today is a great day to root your phone. It is also great day for someone else to root your phone, so be careful. Same thing eith servers. Root hole in crypto acceleration.

I don't do Android. I don't like Android. I even used FirefoxOS so I could have small phone... with no Android.

Android is not evil, compared to usual closed-source stuff. But it is ... quite bad compared to average open-source software, and claims to be open-source.

But I believe Python scripting is still needed, and I wrote required glue... so you don't have to. You should now be able to run Python scripts on Android, with access to screen, touch input, audio support and even camera.

Now, don't expect miracles. Android is still bad system. Linux/Phosh should be better, as would be MicroPythonOS. Porting MicroPythonOS (and thus LVGL) to Android would be better solution, but I'm afraid I'd need to be Android programer for that. With current setup, don't expect frames-per-second when doing fullscreen animations.

Still, long time ago there was sl4a (Scripting languages for Android) and it was very useful for simple things. Biggest limit was that sl4a could not access screen and get touch input. You can now do both, but not very fast.

Ta "uzasne inteligentni" umela inteligence od O2 se nejdriv necha 5 minut premlouvat, ze chci mluvit s operatorem, pak me donuti k identifikaci, oznami mi, ze bude hovor nahravat, a pak mi s tim triskne ze je mimo pracovni dobu.

Vazne? Ma tam #o2 nekoho kdo ma aspon 2 mozkove bunky?

@xChaos @dirtycommo @cian @permacomputer Well, loading / saving to audio should be quite easy. DTMF is one very easy possibility.

They did not teach me about computer audio at school, and now I have computer audio problems. On Linux, world started easy PCM data, and CPU fast enuogh to generate them. But now I'm playing with Python on Android and looking at Tic-80 and history, and having performance problems. I probably could fix them by doing everything in Kotlin, but I'd really prefer to keep doing Python.

There seems to be big and complex world of Procedural Sound Generators, MIDI, FM sythesis, Tracker modules and well, PCM audio. Maybe I don't need 44.1kHz, 16-bit PCM for doing beeps, but should I rather go 16kHz, 16-bit or 44kHz, 8-bit for simple beeps / basic melodies? Noone told me.

So... who has good introduction to computer audio? Series of lectures on youtube would be best, but book / pages should do. Is there good way to store music/sound inline in code? So far I'm looking at abc music notation.
