Critical reception
Spin wrote that "on Straight Up Sewaside, the fidgeting raps keep coming, with pumping, vinyl-hissing production, and that was enough. In this case, more of the same was impressive and even admirable."[4]

gollark: There was that interesting paper where someone used genetic algorithms to automatically design a circuit of some kind on a FPGA, and it came up with an incomprehensible but very effective design which used weird properties of the hardware a human wouldn't consider.
gollark: You throw big piles of training data and computing power at a neural network and it "learns" to do some task or other, but a human looking at the net might have no clue how it's managing it.
gollark: Actually, with lots of modern AI stuff people *don't* understand exactly how they work.

gollark: cryptographic signatures > paper signatures
