Transposition (telecommunications) Puns

Cellular Moobility

It’s kinda offensive chess.com makes you pay just to look at them. And I would use Lichess but it’s not very detailed, and doesn’t handle transpositions

I feel pretty good right now. Can anyone who got this operation tell me how long the numbness on their fingers lasted? My left pinky and ring finger are still pretty numb. Anything else I should be aware of?

I'm creating a piano & alto sax arrangement for mozart's Eb major adagio serenade, and I've reached a roadblock. With the F instruments, a D in the partiture is equal to a A (a basset horn), yeah I think I get that part, however in none of the arrangements that have been done so far to concert instruments such as the piano that A appears nowhere to be found in the first measure of the song. in fact, in the recordings available of the serenade, I don't hear that A anywhere. Whats going on?

and no, this isn't a homework asignment or anything, I'm doing this for the sake of it. i love this song!

Hello Latin Reddit! I need some experienced eyes on a bit of Latin for a project I'm working on.

The project involves three illustrations -- stained glass windows that will have Latin 'titles' labelling each person depicted in the window.

Window 1: "Bone of my bones" -- "Os ex ossibus meis"

Window 2: "Flesh of my flesh" -- "Caro de carne mae"

Window 3: "Fruit of the spirit" -- "Fructus autem spiritus"

I've pulled these out of the Latin Vulgate (Genesis 2.23 and Galatians 5.22) and I was wondering if they would work as stand-alone fragments labelling something. Part of me worries there might be fragments of the (removed) Latin sentences lurking in there, or that I need to change the form completely for it to work in the intended format.

Thanks in advance, any help pointing me in the right direction would be much appreciated!

Hey guys. I had intermuscular ulnar nerve transposition surgery on both of my arms this past year. Dominant arm was done 8/15/21, non-dominant arm done 11/15/21. Here to answer any questions about the process & recovery that you may have.

Happy New Year, all!

I wondered if any of you have ever heard of/considered transposing the 2nd clarinet (in C) part in the final movement of Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique to be played on E♭. I’m especially curious about the solo at the beginning. Are there reasons I’m overlooking as to why this might not be more common?

TIA!

Looking at getting transposition or release/decompression surgery. I do computer work. How much longer after until I can return to that?

Four months ago I wrote a desperate post about my chronic pain, which you can find here.

I'm a 28 and on November 10, I received subcutaneous ulnar nerve transposition surgery on my right arm. I'll first give real TLDR, then a brief overview, then go into detailed updates about recovery for those who are interested. I put an excruciating amount of detail specifically for anyone who goes through this surgery, because I had so many questions and moments of uncertainty.

TLDR

My EMG was clean but my right ulnar nerve was actually compressed and scarred to my bone (TBD for left one, which is not as bad). The surgery was successful but it seems that the way my surgeon performed the transposition is making recovery much longer than necessary. Recovery has been painful and exhausting, and I was unable to do much for the first 10 days. But TOTALLY worth it!

Key points for anyone getting this surgery:

1. Take your pain meds as soon as you feel tingling in your fingers with the nerve block
2. If you have unbearable pain, it could be that your tensor bandage is too tight.
3. Make sure you have someone with you for 48 hours, or at least on call after 24, especially if you were prescribed opioids.
4. Know that you may be off work for 2 weeks because of the swelling alone (never mind the random shocks of intense pain). The swelling in my hand was so intense that it made it impossible to stand or walk for long periods.
5. Ask your surgeon where he will make the incision and decide if the location is right for you. I'm still not sure about the elbow (see Brief(ish) overview below for context) because it put me out for so many weeks. The plus side is that I had no issues elevating or resting it on anything.
6. Your surgeon may not give you physiotherapy. Trust me, you need physiotherapy afterwards. If you can't get to a physiotherapist, there are videos on YouTube specific to ulnar nerve transposition surgery.

BRIEF(ISH) OVERVIEW

It turns out that I had been on the surgery waitlist since July 2020 in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I had either forgotten or never been told about it. Either way, I received my surgery on November 10, 2021.

Before surgery

After describing my symptoms to my surgeon, he checked for ulnar nerve subluxati

I'm curious about honorific transposition in transliterating names. I understand that it is descriptive of how we write the names in transliteration, but Im curious as to how egyptologists originally discovered the order of pronunciation of names.

How do we know (or believe) that the name was verbally spoken imn-htp when the written form is htp-imn? Or could Rameses have been ms-sw-ra? Mesura sounds pretty cool, actually. Is there some evidence of the original pronunciation in another language, like Akkadian, in ancient royal correspondence? Or does another contemporary Egyptian script not use honorific transposition, so we have evidence of pronunciation?

There seem to be so many academic customs about naming and the pronunciation of hieroglyphs which are truly uncertain. My textbook is silent as to the "why we know they did this", just do transliterate it that way.

I'd love an article/book reference to read (or place to search), or a different place to ask, but Google is not helping me. Thank you!

Trying to wrap my head around transposing between guitar (C instrument) and alto sax (an Eb instrument). My understanding is that I would need to raise the guitar notes up 3 semitones (or drop the sax notes 3 semitones) to match what the alto sax is playing.

So for example, lets say I have the key of F# minor for guitar, which is F# - G# - A - B - C# - D - E. Now, to get the equivalent key for the alto sax, would I need D# - F - F# - G# - A# - B - C#.

Is this line of thinking correct? Thanks!

Had my Ulnar submascular transposition from nearly 4 months ago
I feel like a rubber band stretching whenever I extend my wrist
I thought it could be fixed with physical therapy and stretches but it doesn't help so far

is that normal? also I don't know what's stretching a nerve or a muscle? it just feels like a rubber band and it pinches really hard when i over extend it

I play the Ukulele and I just learned all five shapes of the c major scale, how do I transpose the c major scale to all root notes in the major scale?

TLDR: what's a reliable pitchshifter on bass?

Hi, I'm in a covers act, first live band I've joined in nearly 20 years. It's been great fun, but a steep learning curve for me, after a long time out of the saddle. We're getting a new singer. The last one was a perfect fit for our classic rock repertoire; a woman with pretty much a male tenor range, but she's moving cities. New one's a male baritone and, er, stagey. So he's very set on doing certain songs in exact keys. Guitarist is unused to transposition and is dragging his feet about downtuning his guitars, currently putting his faith in getting a pitchshifter. Rather than argue a compromise with singer, this is his answer; shift every song into the singer's key.

A stubborn sense of professionalism means I'm going to downtune for now, invest in a 5-string later, and just arrange my parts in the new keys as far as possible. But. Being a rock covers act, much of our stuff is open-string pedal riffs, so it looks like I'm going to have to shift up or down a semitone for certain songs.

So. EHX pitchfork? Anyone got experience with it on bass? Placement in signal chain? Is it an instant fix, or does it take a lot of getting used to? I really don't want to be retuning on stage or bringing multiple basses.

Do we know how we gain boss items? I hope by Soul Transposition

I've been jamming with my portastudio mkIII and I just noticed that when moving from High to Normal tape speed, it only transposes by an octave when the pitch control is centred. When it is fully to the right, going from high to normal transposes it down a m9, and when it is fully to the left it transposes down a M7. This is definitely cool, as it offer the possibility of quick, somewhat accurate, key changes. I may try and compose some pieces for the mkIII, so I'd like to know if this is standard, or if it means that I should have my machine serviced. Thanks!

{ONLY NEED 1 NOW!} I've farmed harpe's for 5 builds and it's getting tiresome, help from my fellow ashen is always greatly appreciated.

I’m teaching a short lesson in a few days for a brass ensemble. I don’t have much of a band background, so I’m having a bit of trouble understanding how this all works. If I teach solfege from a Bb instrument, will it be the same pitch for a C instrument?

Thanks!

Hey guys. I got anterior intramuscular transposition done on my dominant arm on 8/16 of this year. I get my other arm done next Monday. Here to answer any questions anyone might have!

I figured it might be easier to see the turn order with a video. I posted this same strategy a while back, but it has been modified a bit. I don't know what the next CM's rules are. If quicken is nulled, you can try using Transposition to close the gap. In this team, I used Lemure. This pushed my cost to 570. In my CM team, I use Chel(It use to be Phoebe). This keeps my cost at 540. When using Chel equipment will have to be rearrange to time the transpositions.

Double transposition will work without Haste/Hastaga and Keen Blade, but these two things help increases the chance your enemy doesn't get turns in between. Even when Haste, quicken, CT manipulation are nulled during CM, this team still works sometimes if you are fast enough. Notice I don't have Laswell's VC for the 15% AGI up. I also stacked ACC for Wind Evade teams, I expect to see in the next CM, due to HLeela. (Even with all this ACC, this teams does not have enough ACC to hit a well built Earth Evade team, but does fine with Wind evade.)

The goal of this team is to Medi Bomb for the 38% ice resist down, then have Gilgamesh Koutesu for another 38% slash resist down, then Imperil(from Chel) for another 25% All Element resist down if needed. In the video, my opponent used Keen Blade right when the video started, hence their Leela cut into my turn order. I couldn't LB both HLeela and Gilga. I went for Leela instead. I thought I was out of range of the enemy Gilgamesh's Kousetsu, but I was not(pushed for time).

Mediena could be replace with Lasswell. He has a 38% Ice resistance down ability, but it is only single target. When I use Lasswell, I tend to aim for my opponent's carry or healer first. Rosa might also be useable? I think she has a 38% Ice resistance down move. No other Ice unit has a 38% ice resist down ability, as far as I know. Viktora/Agrias/Valentine Salire might be useable too.

During CM(when I use Chel), for tanky enemies, I will cast Imperil on Mediena and have her poison mist next to my enemy. This will give them 63% ice resistance down and 38% slash resistance down(if they managed to survive the first two hits), which would increase Gilgamesh's damage.

On a side note, with the addition of sub VCs, Gilgamash will hit even harder. Since Koutesu's damage can be modified by:

- Ice attack up (ice dragon VC 35%)

- Slash Attack up (echoing screams 35%)

- Attack up (Ifrit or Fenrir 50%)

So I implemented a transposition table the other day and as soon as I added it my engine started hanging pieces once every few movee. I know this is because of the table because as soon as I comment that section out it stops hanging pieces.

This was added at the top of the Search function

//This bit looks up the current hash in the Transposition table to retrieve Alpha and Beta
//transposition is an unordered map holding keys of ULL hash codes and pairs of Alpha and Beta

auto previous = transposition.find(hashCode); //hashCode is the Zobrist Hash of this position
if (!transposition.empty() && previous != transposition.end()) {
    ABPair pair = previous->second;

    if (pair.alpha >= beta) //beta cutoff
        return pair.alpha;
    if (pair.beta <= alpha) //alpha cutoff
        return pair.beta;

    alpha = max(pair.alpha, alpha);
    beta = min(pair.beta, beta);
}

And this at the end of the search function:

//This bit inserts positions into the transposition table

if (evaluation /*this is the evaluation of the current position*/ <= alpha) {
    ABPair abpair = { INT_MIN, evaluation };
    pair<unsigned long long, ABPair> pair = { hashCode /*Zobrist hash*/, abpair };
    transposition.insert(pair);
}
else if (evaluation > alpha && evaluation < beta) {
    ABPair abpair = { evaluation, evaluation };
    pair<unsigned long long, ABPair> pair = { hashCode, abpair };
    transposition.insert(pair);
}
else if (evaluation >= beta) {
    ABPair abpair = { evaluation, INT_MAX };
    pair<unsigned long long, ABPair> pair = { hashCode, abpair };
    transposition.insert(pair);
}

Does anyone know why this happens? It might be because of collisions in the Zobrist Hash. Thanks for helping me everyone.

I had this idea a year ago, but couldn't figure out how to get the turn order right.

It would be difficult to explain my intention and the turn order, so I recorded a video. Thanks Alaine for helping me out.

I wanted to transposition an Ildyra TMR user next to my opponent, ideally one with little to no cast time, then have them cast Swift transposition. Then my 3rd unit(Gilgamesh) will transposition the tmr holder(Lemure) back to the my side. Lemure's Swift transposition will go off transpositioning my opponent's unit who is susceptible to STOP all the way across the map. This unit will now be next to Kitone who will LB them, taking them out of the battle for a while.

The turn order will be super wonky, so I didn't really know how to pull it off. Yesterday, it finally clicked, Keen Blade. It should be able to make this possible. It allows Kitone to move twice, for a total move of 10.

IMO the strategy works sometimes..... I manage to get the turn and cast order right, but the strategy takes too long to set up and struggles A LOT when the opponents are fast or camps for affinity/ct. Or when every enemy is Stop resistant. I usually end up only completing about 75% of the maneuver, then I have to wing it for the rest of the battle.

The team is squishy, sometimes Lemure will get Transpos into enemy territory and all 3 will be going before her. RIP Lemure.

This strategy may not be getting many wins. I did it for proof of concept, to see if it was possible to do. I think this strategy might be useable, but it'll need to be tweaked a lot. I didn't mess with it too much and just went with the first set up that gave me the ct and cast time order I wanted. More fine tuning is needed and maybe different units can be used.

Even when I lose I do get a laugh out of it when i manage to chain transposition my enemy(Yuna) across the map, and sometimes manage to Stop them in place. I don't often play to win, but instead for the cool plays. Playing to win, limits crazy plays, IMO. I could have tried using the regular Transposition and gave Lemure Sakura's TMR instead. She could use it instead of the 2nd Hastaga. It'll make her Transposition cast faster, but you'll still need it to be slower than Gilgamesh's cast.

If you're wondering, yes, I am ElmoTheTerrible. I deleted my reddit account a while back. Also, I know my positioning and play in the video is sloppy. I put Lem

After playing exclusively in a wind ensemble, I’ve finally joined a orchestra! It’s been a dream for awhile but never had the opportunity. Two quick questions:

1. Anything that I should know about playing in an orchestra (compared to a wind ensemble)? I’m learning some of the unique terms and also noting the trumpet roles are a bit more limited. (Overall I’m loving the experience.)

2. I understand the basics of music theory (I play a few other instruments myself!) but can’t seem to remember how to properly transpose my parts. So, for example, I have a part written for trumpet in F (Tchaikovsky’s 4th). Am I transposing the piece up to B-flat (i.e., each note up 5-half steps) or C? If somebody can answer and explain why - I suppose I’m confused by how transposing aligns my part with the rest of the orchestra when my trumpet is a B-flat trumpet.

Thanks in advanced.

I've created a Pseudo-OTP hand cipher that uses a Beaufort encryption of the plaintext with a random "keyword" as long as the text itself (Pseudo-OTP) that is sent along with the ciphertext. This should result in a perfect Fractionation of each letter into two matching random letters that only make sense together. After that a transposition is supposed to seperate the fractionated letters from eachother. I suppose this cipher is succeptible to hill-climbing.

You probably know the tabula recta. The beaufort-style tabula recta (with the target alphabet written from back to front) has the awesome feature that it is reciprocal, i.e. if H + K = J then J + K = H and J + H = K. The NSA used this table with the codename DIANA. This make it less error-prone than Vigenère. Instead of the table you can use a rule (with a moveable element in the middle) like that:

1 ABCDEFGHJIKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHJIKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
2        ABCDEFGHJIKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
3 ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKIJHGFEDCBAZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKIJHGFEDCBA

Find the first letter in line 1 (here it is H, as above), align the "A" of line 2 with it and find the keyword or One-time-pad letter in line 2 (here it is K). Below the K there's the ciphertext letter J.

Instead of the normal ABC a mixed alphabet can be used. So instead I will use FRANZJGTIMKOPLEVWHSXQUDCBY derived from the german Pangram „Franz jagt im komplett verwahrlosten Taxi durch Bayern", this time aligning with the first letter F, of course (although it doesn't matter, just always do it the same way).

1 FRANZJGTIMKOPLEVWHSXQUDCBYFRANZJGTIMKOPLEVWHSXQUDCBY
2                         FRANZJGTIMKOPLEVWHSXQUDCBY
3 YBCDUQXSHWVELPOKMITGJZNARFYBCDUQXSHWVELPOKMITGJZNARF

I.e. here the trigrams are different: e.g. H + K = B, B + K = H and B + H = K.

I generate a random string of letters (e.g. using random.org/strings; otherwise using two dice one with the letters "A, G, M, S, Y, 5" and the other one with 0,1,2,3,4,5; e.g. M+3=P) and combine it with the plaintext. I generated VHPBMXUSUG randomly and want to combine it with HELLOTHERE.

H E L L O T H E R E     plaintext
 V H P B M X U S U G    random sequence
X Q F E J Y L X N J     ciphertext
XVQHFPEBJMYXLUXSNUJG    ciphertext + random sequence

The result is XVQHFPEBJMYXLUXSNUJG,

I have had ulnar nerve transposition 10 days ago, and the surgeon warned me that I had to keep using my injured arm after the surgery so the nerve would not scar with the rest of the tissues and thus to keep it mobile under the skin and in the "tunnel" made by the surgeon. I have tried to do that, but it seems that with each little stretching mouvement from pinky finger, I get immediate tingling in the finger (more than before). Also, quite a big area of my forearm (upper) and elbow (around the scar) kinda lacks feeling, as if it was still a bit under anasthesia. The skin there feels really sensitive to the touch, as if it was scratched or bruised. Are those symptoms common for those who had the same operation? Thanks

I am getting surgery on my left arm in 2 weeks. It has been about 1 year since I could use a computer/drive.

What is the surgery like, and how does recovery look like? I have pain in my elbows, that crawls up my biceps, and under my shoulder blades bi-laterally. Doing the left arm first, hopefully I will be able to have normal function again.

Reposting my question from r/cassetteculture here to see if anyone can help.
