Opus also does everything in “48KHz”. But apparently doing some upsampling will implode the whole signal… more so than the compression itself… which indeed is actually processing and storing data in the frequency domain (MDCT).

It's not cynical. It's dismissive. Especially given that these codecs work in the frequency domain anyway. >>...use 48Khz if you want the best quality. >Yet most of the worlds audio is 44KHz...

The table and comparison uses “Google's new Zimtohrli, ViSQOL, and my own hearing”

This is truly a representative of the old internet: somebody codes up the best AAC encoder ever, and the first response comes from some admin, and it's some bickering about 48Khz vs 44Khz.

Doesnt it run on the Macbook Neo... just slower?
66.
by ant6n 4mo ago
It's a bit low on RAM, otherwise it's similar to a game boy advance. Maybe after the GBA, GBA SP, and GBA micro, it's time for a GBA.. nano?

> Optimizing testing for speed is goofy That's a strawman. I said bottlenecking testing by requiring hand writing is stupid. Put another way - you're meant to be using the test to be thinking and re-thinking the problem and art

I’m 40 and forcing students to do handwritten essays during tests has always been stupid. Typing is much faster, why bottleneck ideas by forcing handwriting?

Haven’t seen danluu stuff here for a while! One way to reduce income may be to buy a bunch of stocks with high variance - for any that is in the red during the year, sell and rebuy them. Any that has a gain, leave them be.

There’s so many annoying bugs in Mac OS (like the screwed up window management and alt-tab not working properly), that the notch seems like an odd complaint at this point. The OS is fighting the user constantly, and there’s not much we can

It is true cost-benefit for public works projects include the public benefit. But it is often not magnitudes more. Often projects basically scrape by on cost benefits larger than 1.0, after some creative accounting. And yes, the timescales

The share went up in as part of the streaming frenzy during Covid, crashed in 2022 like everything else, and has been flat ever since. Basically got a bump for Disney+ for a while, but didn’t create “shareholder value” besides that.

I thought it’s candid because the subjects’ reactions are honest, unrehearsed.

by ant6n 4mo ago
I bet the cost-benefit is actually negative. But it is kind of cool, I guess.

This is a strong argument for a broken status quo. It’s essentially dismissing many possible, tangible, in other places implemented approaches to improve representation, by essentially declaring that fixing the system cannot be done, or mus

Looks like 256 color style imagery. It’s not perfect, but clearly based on that VGA style.

Arguably more of an optimization, rather than a fix. Looks like un-unrolling a loop, or better, rolling a loop. Or rolling straight line code?

Interesting. So if there's a merger of SpaceX and Tesla, he gets back more Tesla.

Well thanks to the 60 minute game play and no saves, you only ever see the first four/five levels or so. It’s a great game, but that particular mechanic is …kind of annoying.

Thank you for all the interesting references. I had almost forgotten about the BSP-SNES port. I think they main concern when doing sectors + portals for a wolf3d-type 3d engine is how much word is done when 'stepping into' portals

by ant6n 4mo ago
WBGT != WBB
84.
by ant6n 4mo ago
It really doesn't. I would argue that convex sectors with portals could be quicker than casting rays across a grid for every pixel column, except for some degenerate cases. This is because for any pixel column in-between the boundaries

by ant6n 4mo ago
I personally am not a big fan of the banding effect due to small number of light levels. One way to reduce that would be to introduce a 2x2 dithering matrix grid across the whole screen that introduces small “luxel” deltas like 0.5, -0,5; 0

by ant6n 4mo ago
The funny thing is that looking backwards, I would never use a grid of squares for a raycaster like wolfenstein3d did. If I were to do a raycaster today, I would use convex sectors with portals, basically like duke nukem, but constant wall

Yeah, it’s more like a saturated blue giant circle.

I don't make any sort of claim of 'just fine'. I am saying there will be places and times where people cannot regulate their body temperature via evaporation, so they will die outside without AC within hours. And in Singapore

by ant6n 4mo ago
Singapore is not mentioned in the wiki article on wet bulb temperature. And given that the maximum ever temperature in Singapore is 35-36 for most months, I doubt that a wet bulb temperature of 35+ is common.
