- ben_w 8y agoPerhaps, perhaps not. I’ve seen things go both ways. On the one hand, circa 2005 I made an audio recording at 16-bit/44k samples per second, of my graphics lecturer saying “40 joints, 24 samples per second, 16 bits per sample is a huge amount of data. A megabyte after only five minutes!” (My hard drive being 40 gig back then). On the other hand, when I graduated I ended up seeing several of the algorithms he taught us in use in workplace that did a lot of highly optimised graphics processing.
