So I've been working on a project to create a singing voice synthesizer I'm basing it on the description in Jordi Bonada's PhD thesis "Voice Processing and Synthesis by Performance Sampling and Spectral Models". After a lot of trouble with getting TWM f0 estimation to work, I've finally gotten to implementing MFPA (Maximally Flat Phase Alignment". And amazingly, it seems to have worked first try. Compare my results: https://i.ibb.co/dsvgv0fd/Screen-Shot-2026-03-02-at-3-54-48-PM.png To the results in the study: https://i.ibb.co/C3fjdWVd/Screen-Shot-2026-03-02-at-3-55-09-PM.png
(continued from previous post) One option would be to somehow modify the LPC inverse filtering process to be amenable to a parameter configuration instead. However, I am not sure how to do this, or whether it is even possible (perhaps a good place to start would be to frame the problem as a matrix equation?). On the other hand, another option would be to create a cascade filter from the estimated parallel filter. This could be done by first starting with just the first resonance. This is the same in both cases. Then we go on to add the second one. Before adding it, we calculate the current value in the cascade filter at the next resonance's center frequency, we then scale its amplitude by the reciprocal of this value. This new filter will not be exactly the same, but it should be reasonably close. Actually, it may be a better model of the vocal tract. Perhaps also the FRIR algorithm could be used to refine it, even in the cascade case, since it should have a very low error? The final procedure then, would be to run one iteration of the WBHSM algorithm, to estimate the EpR parameters. Then, for each instant an EpR model has been estimated, only the poles are extracted and are then converted to a cascade filter. Next, the inverse filtering is performed. For each inverse filtering frame (which can be as small as a single frame), the closest vocal tract filter estimates are interpolated using, for example, linear or spline interpolation. Next, the z-transfer function denominator of the resultant filter is expanded using the standard procedure to obtain the LPC coefficient, which are finally used to do the inverse filtering itself. The final step is the second pass of WBHSM, over the inversecfiltered signal. Since it has been inverse filtered, there should be no interference between voice pulses. An additional potential benefit is the harmonic envelope no longer contains resonances, which may improve the estimation of the source curve and zeros, although the same effect could also be achieved in the traditional EpR estimation by using two passes. Finally, a combined EpR model is created from the resonance plus the source and residual model obtained in the last step. This procedure makes one significant presumption, which is that most of the error of WBHSM is concentrated in the non-resonance part of the EpR model. This would seem to be a reasonable assumption to make, given that EpR is fitted using multiple harmonics, and that it could furthermore be filtered across multiple frame using techniques such as lowpass filtering, moving averages, or exponential moving averages. However, I do not yet have empirical evidence for this. One possible case wherein the presumption would not hold would be if the error changes slowly over frequency, for example. Actually, a type of error with precisely this fingerprint does exist; it results from the fundamental frequency changing. However, I have already proposed a solution to it, within the RVPM framework: https://listserv.cuit.columbia.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A2=MUSIC-DSP;31999a11.2608A&S=
There's been a lot of mistakes I've known about for a while but haven't bothered to publicly mention yet. I thought I'd finally do that. https://queuesevenm.wordpress.com/2026/10/18/some-overdue-corrections/ Also, another thing I said that was wrong originally is which processing techniques VOCALOID 1 and VOCALOID 2 use. The correct answer is V1 uses Spectral Modeling Synthesis, while V2 uses Spectral Peak Processing/Scaling/Phase-locked Vocoder.
Analysis/synthesis is a paradigm of audio processing. In this paradigm, an audio signal is analyzed to produce a model of the signal. Then this model is transformed according to our wishes. Finally, the modified model is synthesized to produce the transformed signal. This paradigm can be used not only for transforming signals, but also for synthesizing them from scratch by means of selecting prerecorded samples from a database. Also, another method is omit the analysis stage and generate the model using statistics or neural networks. In analysis/synthesis, for any real (i.e. non-synthetic) signal, there will always be a portion of it which cannot be represented well by the model. The exact composition of this component depends on exactly what the model itself models, but in this post I will be focusing on what can not be modeled by any model, that is, stochastic components. Broadly, even if they are not specifically implemented this way, analysis/synthesis techniques that consider the stochastic part due so by first separating out the part that cannot be modeled by the model. Although the remaining component is stochastic, it is not strictly random. Usually, this means it is either tied to the model, or a separate model that describes a non-random aspect of the stochastic component. For example, a typical case is that the spectrum of then stochastic part is not flat as it would be in white noise, but follows an envelope. In that case, the extraction of just the random part would be done by inverse filtering the stochastic component by that envelope, a process known as spectral whitening. From there, there are basically two ways to proceed. Either the random signal is preserved, or it is discarded and replaced with white noise at synthesis. The former has the advantage that, depending how the rest of system is implemented, it may be possible to reconstruct the original signal perfectly when no transforms are applied. Additionally, in practice, the 'random' component will in practice always include some amount of signal, so discarding loses some aspect of the original signal. On the other hand, the latter has the advantage of flexibility. Often, transforming the model requires that we now have more or less samples of the random part. One option would be to interpolate the random component. However, when more samples are required than there were originally (i.e. upsampling), the new signal is smoother than the original. This can be a significant problem, for example if we are slowing down a signal by large factor. From signal theory, we know that all other interpolation methods approximate the ideal sinc-convolution interpolation. In the frequency-domain, that method corresponds to there being no new spectral components above the old Nyquist frequency when upsampling. Given that our random component is supposed to be white noise, i.e. that it should have a flat spectral envelope, we can now see where the smoothness problem comes from. Thus, from this observation, I propose a hybrid model. We preserve the original random component, with all the advantages that brings. When requiring a different amount of samples than there were originally, we resample it. However, in the case of upsampling, we replace the new spectral bins with random values instead of zeros. (continued in next post)
(continued from previous post) Thusfar, I have discussed how the spectrum should change under this proposal, however in practice the direct principle cannot be implemented directly. Two practical reasons are that my FFT implementation has fixed maximum size, so it cannot be used on arbitrary-length signals; and that doing so also becomes inefficient with larger and larger FFT size. However, a more fundamental issue is the circular nature of the FFT which results in artifacts whenever the signal is not entirely periodic with a period corresponding to exactly the FFT window. This problem can be either mitigated through techniques such as overlap-and-add; or time-domain convolution (i.e. filtering) can be used instead. For linear transforms, the latter is almost always used because it is much more efficient, and at the same time, it produces far lower levels of artifacts. Based on that, this proposal could be implemented by lowpass filtering the interpolated signal (i.e. resampling), and adding to that highpass-filtered white noise whose bandwidth corresponds to the difference between the new and old sampling rates. In practice, real lowpass filters are not ideal, so they have a non-zero transition band. Thus, the resulting envelope is not completely flat and would have spikes due to the transition bands. This could be reduced, although not completely, by increasing the filter size, at the cost of additional computational complexity. Another option is to adjust the bandwidths slightly such that total distortion is minimal (i.e. error can in either direction, not just positive). Another interesting idea would be to see if a window could be used whose frequency response is overlapping. In the time-domain, some windows are said to be overlapping, for example the triangular window, Hanning window, and Gaussian window. What that means is that it is possible to separate the windows by a specific distance, and the resulting of adding them together is one outside of given edges. The Kaiser-Bessel window is almost-but-not-quite overlapping, which is because it is almost-but-not-quite the Gaussian window. If a window's frequency response were to be overlapping, using it as the FIR filter construction window would solve the problem from before. Special care would need to made to ensure that the filter's transition band matches the size needing for proper overlapping as closely as possible. Usually we do not care about this since the transition band being smaller than desired is usually exclusively a good thing.
>>13286 Actually, thinking about it, the resilient border interpolation at synthesis is not unnecessary now given by proposed WBHSM+LPC framework. The reason it became unnecessary before is that the proposed RVPM modeled each voice pulse as its full impulse response, assuming a time-invariant filter for each pulse (although I suppose the EpR differential envelope may model some of the time-variance of the filter, but this breaks as transforms are applied). The new WBHSM+LPC model is a literal combination of WBHSM and LPC where WBHSM models the source signal. Since that signal is not filtered, each voice pulse is actually independent, and pulses and periods are truly equivalent. Because of that, we actually go back to modeling each individual pitch period, reintroducing the need for the synthesis border interpolation. For this, we can do the same thing we do in the analysis stage where we shifted the window such that the window starts coincides roughly with the glottal opening instant and only the right side of the window is interpolated. This becomes especially beneficial for the WBHSM+LPC synthesis since the left side is where the voice pulse actually is, while on the right side the glottis should be closed or almost closed.
Do you know any second languages or are learning any?
i know english and spanish, tho my dream is to learn russian 
English, Français, Português, 日本語
have been considering Korean for a while. it sounds incredibly fun to speak and read and I love the history and folklore, the latter mostly surrounding musok. however that'd be a bit of an endeavour in of itself, so I'm just pondering over it whilst sharpening japanese up to N2.
I'm not a fan of credentialism in language learning. I think it's pointless. like doing the french DELF examen, for instance. no one in their quotidian affairs is going about writing overly formal letters to Monsieur le Maire. however I cannot lie I'd like to hang the diploma on my wall

Last week and a half I had diarrhea, and I think I been constipated this week, what the fuck is going with me 
Not gonna pretend i remember the maths but my wave would go from baseline to down by like 1000x the texture height and back to baseline, no actually below baseline, then it would exit the picture about 4 times as fast as everyone else's because ill die young
What have *you* learned today?
>>549
Of what I am, I am both sure and unsure. For one, I could, albeit without deep cognitive understanding, say what I am not 
, and through a certain enumeration arrive at a constraint of what I can be
. Yet at the same time the circumstance often disrupts 
the chain of logical reasoning and imposes what seems to be an external definition of what I must be
. If the circumstance would be such as to force me 
into being what I am not, then I would no longer be
, even as my body would likely persist 
. From this follows , taking into consideration that the mind has its origins in the body
, that the circumstance has the power to redefine
you, if only it be strong enough. What am I, then, if my body is easily broken, and my inclination easily shifted another way ? I am compelled then to look at that part of being, which is free from the aforementioned affliction. Thus I seek the origin of all
, and indeed, the body is the lowliest of all, and it moves nothing, but things both perishable and passive in their nature. The body, in its turn, is moved by the mind, which deals in things sublime
, but yet is corrupted by both bodily influences and its own proneness to error. The mind is but a slave that would yield to everything in order to rest itself
. What, then, governs, or shall I say compels, the movement of the mind? This substance we are used to call the will. This all encompassing concept is what rules over this Fight. You are neither what you think
you are, nor what you feel
you are, but you are an entity, no, an implement, the ultimate unit, who even in its incapacity to comprehend its own will
is yet able to carry out the Fight. Hikarin! Do not be a dead leaf! Do not be a left-over! Thought we are not our own creation, it yet belongs to us to carry on! Do not let idle rumination eat up your mind! Gather your strength
! Fill your lungs with fresh, virgin air
! Join the Resistance! Join the Fight!
>>550
I gotchu, hikarin. But your text saying what you are, sounds like you're unsure about what you are.
>but you are an entity
Yes, all of us are an entity, specifically a spirit entity. And the real fight is in it - What is your purpose as a spirit entity?
>What, then, governs, or shall I say compels, the movement of the mind?
I'm governs the movement of my mind - and im not my mind, neither my body: i'm a soul, a spirit experiencing the human life; plus its up to you decide what governs your mind. Then, think more outside of material world, hikarin, dont think of life as a fight. As i said, we're neither our mind and yours bad throughs. Life is what you want it to be. You are who/what you want to be (and i hope that you want 'ur life to be filled with love and prosperity).

What's your favorite programming language /t/?
I like my good old C style C++ (need C++ for very limited things like operator overloading, and super simple templates) I also like Odin, as it's basically what i want from C++. And surprisingly, i like Lisp. I really wanna use Jon's AI language though, seems like it is built out of pragmatism and now some puristic ideology like Zig. (I have some Zig experience too, though.)
Go and python. I wait for the day somebody ports Haskell's type system to C so it can accomplish what R*st did without actually being R*st. Would be a perfect embedded language where you no longer worry about forgetting to cast your integer properly.
We post about our research group meetings. >someone can't get something basic to work, the professor tries to do some light troubleshooting then and there, but this makes the presenter nervous and they start to spill spaghetti >someone went over their time and talked for hours about nothing I have my research group meeting this Friday and I've barely started on implementing the control algorithm I said I'd have done. Please shoot me.

>>482 iirc in elementary the kids in my group were never recognizing that there was an optimal way to work the given essay or whatever, so i would be doing my own while they fucked around, it might have been the main language class where i submitted my own thing (that was miles better than what the other retards made) and the teacher gave me my first non-passing grade because i didnt cooperate lol
My latest 485 research group meetings consistent just of me.
>>410 We used to have weekly research meetings where my senior went on and on about his research and i had pretty much no time to speak (not that i had much to talk about anyway) and after a while the professor stopped doing them altogether. Since we doing computers, we all work remote and I just message the professor every once in a while when i feel like i have progressed. I think it is better this way since I just do solo research anyway.

Next season fortune
I made the right choice.
I wanted to share my HTMLB project (https://htmlb.neocities.org/). It's an alternative to HTML that comes with extra tags to do things you can't do in classic HTML without javashit. HTMLB brings templates, conditionals, variables, and number/strings operations right out of the box. Before asking any questions, check out https://htmlb.neocities.org/#faq
>>2015 Right now I don't have an HTMLB community, so the only way I can get the word out is by sharing it on imageboards, since I don't use social media at all.
Right now I'm working on adding iframe support for my Links fork, I think iframes combined with HTMLB can be a pretty powerful combination for building interactive pages without JS
>>2023 yo no hablar espanol on a side note, did you post this on the fourchins? i think i remember seeing a thread about it on there, seeing the replies made me a lil sad, but i shouldnt be suprised considering that site is pretty much 90% bots and arseholes also also, if its not much to ask, what would you say makes this different from htmx?
>>2024 Yes, I post it on 4chan, I really expected those responses, the only thing that mattered was getting the word out about the project, I might do it again when I add support for iframes. The main difference with HTMX is that HTMX is just a JS library, so it requires a browser that supports JS. HTMLB, on the other hand, is something completely new, and is not part of the HTML/CSS/javashit standard, that's why normal browsers can't display a web page written in HTMLB. This offers a new way to create web pages without having to use Google’s bloated standard.
What's your major /aca/? I'm in my last year of a Master's in Computer Science
Currently in 2nd year of BS Information Technology; graduating by the end of 3rd Year. I only got 2 GitHub projects, both of which are crappy and nothing to show for. I don't know whether to apply for an internship early, or wait for the school to offer/assign one for us.
>>388 >I only got 2 GitHub projects i relate to this so so much. do companies usually want 5+?

My luck was against me when I picked my uni because they never told us we would need to grind certificates or show off some github as portfolio. I never had any well untill I finished my master's

ohayou hikarins! as you can tell, the site rewrite is live! isn't it great? the dev team put lots of work and lots of love into this project so let's be sure to give them our thanks. in this thread, please report any issues, bugs, comments, questions, or concerns regarding the new site. i will also take the time to highlight some of the major changes and additions since Syrno is a lazy fuck refrained from doing so in the announcement. 
note that the rules have been updated, so be sure to give them another read.
New Additions:
- new imageboard software!
as stated in the announcement, Hikari3 has changed from using Lynxchan to Koshi, a new imageboard software made in-house. the source code can be found here: https://github.com/hikari3-ch/koshi (that is, once the repo is made public). this in itself comes with many improvements, especially under the hood. i'm just a janny so i'm not qualified to list them all, but i can assure you Koshi is pretty great.
- new and improved homepage!
the homepage has been updated with a few new features. the new layout includes a new Featured Threads section, which is pretty self explanatory. hand-picked by (usually) Syrno. at the bottom, there is also an Other Threads section, which will randomly select threads from the SFW boards to showcase. 素敵ですね？
- new 2D Ero board!
a new board has been added for 2D ero images, aka hentai. please be sure to read the rules. note that posts made on this board do not appear in the Latest Posts or Other Threads section on the homepage. this board has been added in place of the Oekaki board, but don't worry! the ability to create your own masterpieces lives on. i'll talk about this later.
- board statistics!
https://files.catbox.moe/ewber2.PNG
you can now check the board statistics, a panel that shows activity for each board. this can be found through the button directly to the left of the "Submit a Thread" button on the sidebar.
- upgraded posting!
https://files.catbox.moe/ltv2gv.PNG
there are a few new options and QOL improvements in the posting menu. for one, you can now make new posts from the bottom of the thread. the quick reply panel also now has the emote dropdown menu for your convenience. the "Submit a Thread" button at the top of the sidebar will bring you to a new thread page where you can more elaborately create threads. using either the new thread page or the reply section at the bottom of the thread gives you the option to embed YouTube videos, create polls, and draw your own images! oekaki reborn on every board!
- new CSS themes!
there are some new CSS themes to spice up your browsing experience beyond the standard hikari3 color palette. feel free to check them out! i personally am using Catppuccin Macchiato.
beyond this, there are other new features and changes for you to discover. we hope you enjoy the new site! happy posting. 
saw these on jp, might be too on the nose though
RSS feeds appear to return a bad gateway status code no matter what I do. This sucks, because I don't wanna use dicksword for post feeds. Hopefully this gets fixed!
>>1169 Will be fixed soon, koshi has had many new developments recently though they haven't been pushed here yet.
Hikari Team, i'm really happy 'bout this site rewrite, will be a great update! I love this place, and i think everybody deserve to see what they like, but that Ero Board makes me worry. Too many sites tried to incorporate +18 content and failed with trash post and addict users.
Are you ready for what's going to happen?
do any hikarins indulge in virtual cuddles? maybe over voice chat? I tried it recently and now I can't get enough. would any of you like to cuddle with me?

What's hikarin's favorite soda?
I liked this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemonsoda and would drink it every few days but it got old. The cans have this issue with particles that i couldnt quite identify settling at the bottom so when i tried it again it was kind of gross
I like da bepis made with real sugar

>>13158 I can't play vrchat, the people I've encountered are insufferable
>>13159 Yeaaa hikarin, that seems to be the most common experience for newcomers From my understanding of things, the best way there is to play the game, is by doing a bit of research on the small communities that gather in private worlds to hang out; I remember there was this one that had tea parties every wednesday or something, and it looked super comfy and friendly Going into public lobby's is definitely not a good idea at alL!!

why does it feel like trying to study makes things harder than when you just.. study?
i basically always have to try to study so i don't understand the question. studying for me is always a conscious effort, even if it's easier at times than others.
Do you feel anxious about having an online presence? Wherever I look, people are more than happy to post their faces, or God forbid, the faces of their children for the world to see. Meanwhile I feel dread the possibility of having a picture being taken with me in it, knowing that it will probably be uploaded online for anybody to access, and even if no one were to see it, it will be scraped by companies to train their AI. I can't wrap my head around as to why everyone is more than happy to do this. Every profile you have is a possible attack surface, every paper trail is another lead if you piss off the wrong person. Even if you're a good boy "without anything to hide", a leak is all it takes and now your data is a commodity for criminals. And when I tell people I don't want to use social media, I'm seen as a "freak". Why? Has the pot slowly been boiling for them, that they can't see any other way to live?
I dont think in that way, im more like "the conpanies will have my informatons anyway" but i get really mad how people cant see that the trends and repentine mass os missinformation is somethin with an intention behind. Its like people forget that if 'something is free, its because yure the product'.
i had one ig and facebook accounts, which i deleted sometime ago. there was no information on them beyond my name, and yet i still regret it
>>1980 Most people don't actually enjoy social media (Youtube counts btw) its more like a distraction, and in this day and age distraction are the only tool to get people not wanting to end it all. The rest that do enjoy it use it mostly to talk to friends on instagram/whatsapp and barely use the actual app except for watching sent videos. I personally only use youtube and whatsapp. Youtube as a distraction and whatsapp for real use cases. I usually get the same looks when i tell people i don't use social media, but i assure you installing an app and using it only for your friends is the best option. You shouldn't isolate yourself because "What if the glowies use my data" yes this is important and should be taken into account, but all you accomplish is having weaker connections causing more people to judge you
I've said for a long time that I don't use any social media that requires an account, but of course omitting the fact that I only use imageboards. I'm among the zoombies, yet I've never gotten a strange look by saying that. Perhaps they don't understand, or don't actually care. But perhaps its worth mentioning that I've been considerably isolated all my life so far, maintaining little more than a few close friends. I find it funny that people so carelessly post online. I've gone through so many mandated lectures about online safety in grade school (to any "non-young" person here, yes, schools do these). LLMs have so far only worsened my life, and they give me even more reason to leave a minuscule online presence. I can't write about how much I hate the LLM peddlers and how those companies that have utterly raped the web to increasing degrees uselessness for their own self-interest. All this talk about """productivity""" and who is benefiting again? I see my peers using chatbots in lectures - that shit makes me pissed, and makes me think to never drive over a bridge built by one of my own generation. It's dumb, but I feel like I dodged a bullet by virtue of not being born to milennial parents, who very well might have posted me to ze Zuckercuck. Or frankly, grateful for my "normal" parents instead of oversocialized people. But considering counterfactuals is useless. >Most people don't actually enjoy social media (Youtube counts btw) its more like a distraction That's pretty interesting, I've never thought that but it makes a lot of sense, especially considering my own former usage. Very few things on youtube ever made me actually laugh.
A big chunk of the web's gotten so bloated that my PC that's only 9 years old stutters when visiting a basic website

Fun fact the floating post form doesn't fit on my screen! Unless I fold all of the drop down menus. The captcha doesn't fit either way. The quick reply form should be scrollable!
>>13162 I only have this issue when I am fonepoasting. Although I agree it should be scrollable or resizable or something.
for con-goers, any convention horror stories?
Would Tomoko make a good Chris-Chan?
how much cyberbullying would it take to make Tomoko a lolcow if she were real
Dude I can't even Imagine it though nice Tomoko
Of cause she is just a normal girl who kept trying to got a greater life experience......
>>106 Weeelll, you have to think about the fact that she's from Japan, where it doesn't take too much to be a lolcow; the most famous one from there it's literally just a very slightly autistic dude, whilst in here, for someone to be a lolcow he has to be actually insane in the head THAT being said, Tomoko is a girl, so it's definitely possible that she wouldn't turn into a lolcow at all
I don't understand why anyone likes that place, and why it's linked from so many places. It claims to be against "drama", but it still feels like a large amount of the discussion there is precisely that. All of the people there are so miserable and uncomfy - and not even in a funny way. Every time I go to that site I get this sense of dread that I usually only get from sites like Twitter. And additionally there's just the this atmosphere that the place has that I'm not really sure how to precisely describe, but I really dislike it.
>>12607 are you the crba spammer bitter they gave you extra harsh treatment
What's this ChatGPT-expanded version of a Kissu post? Either way i've never seen drama there, if you dislike it then don't use it instead of shitting up other sites with your opinion that no one asked for
>>12608
I agree
Hikarin should host meetups on mikumikuonline, too
good morning
imagine if money, intelligence, focus, health, time, and other circumstances weren't a problem. what would you dedicate your life to studying? why does it fascinate you? as for me, i've always wanted to study brains. pick apart this dense mass of flesh that somehow encodes the human soul. i want to be a part of the science that's trying to map brains to computers, interpreting synapses with machine learning and using algorithms to model neural circuits. look closely at how information is processed by the brain, and maybe even try to analyze those heuristics to understand myself a bit better. my excuse is that i'm too dumb and not good enough at chemistry. i just can't commit. who knows, maybe i'll regret this fear of mine forever. i wanted to hear about your unsung passions, too
hello everyone! i'm wondering where do you get your tiled wallpapers for your desktop rices...

Im stuck trying to develop a way to display featured threads on the index of my site for my imageboard backend. The only method i can think of that doesn't involve a clusterfuck of code is to query the database for every top post anytime a user logs into the index, but that still sounds awfully inefficient considering how minimal of a detail it ends up being. Any tips for this sort of stuff? I tried to look at how vichan does it but i didn't really get it tbhdesu.
>>1946 JSON API for IB phone apps Tripcodes Better moderation tools More flexibility (like the option for admins add thread-specific html/css/js) An invite system A captcha that doesn't depend on third parties Anubis support PGP threads (temporary threads where only the OP can read the replies)
>>1947 i did just get around to reworking my ban system, i wouldnt say its complete but atleast it does the bare minimum like image hashing. PGP threads do sound interesting but i they would probably be a mess to moderate lol, i might focus on adding tripcodes now though (also a captcha would be good).

How to cope with having 113 iq according to mensa norway?
What the fuck is up with the last 5 ones by the way, i think i got all of the ones i did right and skipped all the hard ones, gamed the test essentially
be glad you have a higher IQ than average, but be humbled in knowing there are many more intelligent than yourself.
Last time I tried it gave me 131. However, this is getting close to a decade ago and I don't feel like checking if I've degraded or no
actually i have nothing to be glad for >>530 iq tests are 90% reading comprehension and knowing the tricks beforehand, most people underperform, its all a scam, so i think you shouldnt feel guilty for not giving it a shot if you dont feel like it
Hello all, I have quite an odd project to share.
A while back, an anon I saw on some 4chan board I forgot managed to unpack the executable for this elusive game, but they couldn't get very far past that. Said anon shared their progress as an archive, and I thought to myself it would be worth taking a stab at. To my surprise, it only took me a day or two to figure most of it out, and it's one of the most fascinating ways I've seen a game be made!
I'd love to do a write-up right away, but I want everyone's input first. Should I just share the files and all my raw notes, or do I make a wall of text in this thread? Please do let me know.
The image attached is of the game running in a VM under a debugger with (presumably) all checks removed.
Will 2026 be the Year of Hikari?
2027 will be the Year of Hikari, trust me
If not, then maybe 2028
If also not, then maybe 2029....
If not then maybe the next, or the next, or the next...
Or maybe... Just maybe... It was always the year of the Hikari all along?
Or if not, then the year of Hikari was the friends we made along the way
Hello, Hikarins! Good morning/afternoon/evening. Do ya hikarins know about html? how did ya learn? im really interested. I wanted to organize and create my own site from 0, starting by learning html.
sadgrl's guides are what i started with and can absolutely recommend them if you're gunning for just a personal page https://sadgrl.online/guides/ there's also this one: https://internetingishard.netlify.app/ you'll also need to think about how you want to host it. there's shared hostings and VPSes you can buy online, or you can just host from a computer you own physically. if going with latter, you'll wanna research a little into web servers, probably Nginx, and stuff like SSL. and ditto anon regarding Sass actually, it's pretty nice.
Hello Hikarins! Everyone, I appreciate your tips and guides; I’m studying and trying to learn from everything you post here. Soon, maybe i'll got a website up and running. Thanks yall!! Im reading all of you guys drop here.
best of luck anon! getting it going can be a bit ovewhelming, but it's a pretty smooth slope down the rabbit hole from there
MDN tends to be highly technical, however it is by far the greatest resource on web development https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn_web_development/Core I'm not sure if i recommend starting here, but I do recommend reading at some point, and using MDN in general for documentation on specific things.
How do you find people in real life that have the same interests as you?
>>11573 i find it rare and hard, and maintaining a relationship is the hard part, unless they are a cashier
>>11578 i think you just need know how to talk to peoples. If you know how to talk to people, you can find people with the same interests as you. whether between 1 to 10 or bewtween 3 to 10.
i met about 10 people i know online in total but that's also how i got abused twice by the same person, so i dunno if i can recommend that ptsd aside it does work most of the time
Can't relate to people online, let alone IRL. I just gave up on it a long time ago. When dealing/interacting with people IRL over a sustained period of time I treat it as stories with chapters I store in a journal in my head. If I had to put the feeling into words, I'd say feels like an historian analyzing and taking notes of the possible interpretations. >>11578 Wholly agree that unless it's a functional relationship it feels incredibly hard to maintain 'organic' relationships. I genuinely wish I had a surfeit of discretionary income to occasionally rent 'friends' or 'girl/boyfriends'. I find the transactional and scheduled nature of the thing honest and soothing.
I have a big fucking hemorrhoid on my ass. life sucks right now.
sorry for rupturing your asshole, thought my nice creamy cummies would help soothe it
>>13076
why dont you get a hooker to lick it, always works for me
Im a poor autist why would i want to do that, thats gross. Also its gone down a whole bunch thankfully.
Did you get some good exercise today? I walked several miles out on a hot sunny day today and I'm soaked and feel exhausted I think I'm gonna crash right after I post this.
finally got an overcast day, it is still 32 degrees in the shadow but my garage got some nice wind so it was nice and cool, did some fitness shit
I was sick for a while but I finally managed to get back to the gym. Not at my top performance but I was so stir-crazy that I went anyway and did a lighter workout.
I jog for 30 minutes in the morning. I do some arm and middle body exercies but i mostly focus on my legs 
I'm planning go to a walk today. I jogged for about one hour last week. Wish me luck, hikarins
