Hey Pat, thanks for the write-up. I cannot get the car to oversteer, but unless I'm misremembering you could definitely do that in GTA. Any thoughts on what would need to change in your sim to support this?

Gonna have to go two-for-two on correcting replies here.

> FM is Frequency Modulation which is what you can do with oscillators and the above mentioned envelope points.

This isn't what FM is. FM involves using one oscillator output to modify (modulate) the frequency of another oscillator. ADSRs can be used to shape the degree of modulation over time, but the sound isn't shaped through the ADSR in this case; rather the ADSR controls the sound generation stage by modifying the frequency modulation effect in the time domain.

Mate you're confidently incorrect here.

Even the quote you use is intentionally incomplete. The crucial part of the parent quote is 'is determined by how long you "hold the key"'.

Go play with a synth, or even look at an ADSR envelope tutorial, and you'll see you were wrong. And not just wrong, but condescending and wrong.

This is neither obvious nor accurate.

Apple's advertising business is estimated to be closing in on $10Bn yearly, while their browser pre-load deal with Google brings them in even more than that, and data-sharing agreements are assumed to be part of the deal.

The fallacy that Apple can be trusted with your data because it makes more money elsewhere is incredibly naive and unilateral.

Isn't it literally the first thing they reference in the introduction?
