Turns out...You can't claim to be superior if you aren't superior. Who would have thought.

You're absolutely right. Sorry for that (admittedly catastrophic) omission.

It's 2025. If you are getting a 'free' software product, there's a chance of about 99,9% that the answer to that question is either 'analytics/tracking/telemetry/customer retention' or a combination of many or all of them.

Have you never had a corporate job? A technology can be very much useless while incompetent 'managers' who believe it can do better than humans WILL buy the former to get rid of the latter, even though that's a stupid thing to do, in order to meet their yearly targets and other similar idiotic measures of division/team 'productivity'

Does noise from different nearby sources 'add up'? Or do the different sources cancel each other out? In any case, please provide a formula and an example (lemmy.wtf)

The prequel to the 'A Quiet Place' saga got me thinking.

spoiler alert!

There is a scene in which many humans march towards a safety point. Each individual human would have been relatively quiet, but because there are a lot of them (potentially hundreds), they end up being, as a whole, loud enough to alert the monsters so they get all killed.

This would suggest that many sources of noise which are near to each other and generate more or less the same amount of noise end up adding up so that the end result in dB is more or less the sum of the individual dB levels.

But then again, it's fiction.

Back to reality, I work in a room full of different servers which have also very different levels of noise. I have noticed that from my standpoint, the noise of the quietest server seems to disappear whenever the loudest is running, so it kind of does blow my mind how our perception of noise works...
