Examine Figure 1 - The key is the 4th and 5th columns there, CD/256 and CD/320. The results show no significant ability to discriminate between them.

Let's go over this one more time: - Q: Can you hear the difference between CD-quality lossless audio and anything higher fidelity? A: No, no one even has the biological ability to. 44100khz, 16-bit audio can perfectly reproduce audio a

You seem to think DAW makers don't already specialize a ton in DSP, algorithms, and concurrency - I can assure you that that's definitely the case, and that innovation and optimization happen at a very healthy pace. There is signi

I disagree with the GP's predictable refrain that conservatism is naturally more financially 'smart', but I also find your characterization of conservatism a little bizarre. More to the point, it's ironic that both GP an

Miyazaki has announced his retirement so many times by now over several decades that this has to be a running joke that everyone warmly entertains.

I can't read the article, but I see in the first few sentences it acknowledges this and starts to point out that Vocaloid (the main technology in question) is the first speech synthesis technology to actually see widespread use in a su

If there are many Wikipedia articles, and Youtube videos with millions of views on a given concept, at what point is the burden on you the reader to already know the concept or be able to look it up and learn it quickly?

Shooting at police when they attempt to take your money is not a viable solution to this problem at all, much less such a first-line solution that it's a contradiction to also advocate gun control. It is already obvious that the govern

You could just as easily construct an arbitrary usability test over interop that the web platform excels at while current desktop apps do terribly. For instance: * Send a link to a Google Drive document to another person on WeChat: Pass * S

Really? You think 50% of all statements ever made in public can be reasonably taken as harmful? I get that you're trying to make a point on the utility of judging some statements to be "harmful, but not overly so," but the as

This stinks of hollywood accounting, like a lot of "negative carbon" plans for things that would otherwise be nonsensical for. The premise here is that if Bitcoin mining uses an energy source that inherently captures carbon or met

No, weights are data, just like transformation matrices used by graphics code. The data has no meaning without the code, and the code is what creates and manages it based on its inputs, as an aid to generating some output. So it's perf

Unfortunately there is no if-expression in JS so sometimes it's awkward _not_ to use ternaries in multi-line statements - for instance, when writing in an expression only context like a string interpolation or JSX. It's also just

React is now the de facto choice and much less painful than past de facto choices, is my take on why. It has a mature and healthy ecosystem, and its relatively small surface makes it easy to learn and predictable, while declarative GUI in g

You're the only one making the absurd terrorist analogy. Reposting a person's content in another context with a whole crowd of people specifically there to mock and humiliate that person, many of whom will then go out of their way

Native DOM APIs are a lot nicer than they used to be. Just JS will work just fine as long as you're comfortable building a whole UI yourself. You can sprinkle on Typescript for static types (which I wouldn't do without for any ser

None of these semantics actually exist. Javascript is the language, and it was released as an implementation first, then a standards body worked on a specification for it. For various reasons (bickering, trademark), the specification was ca

Oh wow, this is so cool. Based on the layout and the sounds, it HAS to be heavily inspired by the Tenori-on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_Tenori-on , and I for one am very here for that.

It has broad vendor buy-in from the vendors that matter much more than OSes: Instrument manufacturers. Yamaha, Korg, and Roland all demo'ed MIDI 2.0 prototypes at NAMM recently.

It's mainly getting more traction recently thanks to the push from MPE gaining more popularity. MPE improves on MIDI in several crucial ways, mainly allowing for much better polyphonic parameter controls. However, it's also kind o

I have nothing useful to add here except to say that I use your audio plugins regularly and greatly appreciate the work you do! Your active, well-considered stance here is also admirable.

This is great! I absolutely love the concept and a lot of the ideas you've already put into execution. Some feedback: - The first song I tried was 15 Step - like a lot of Radiohead's stuff it's in 5/4. This wasn't a

That was a lot of aggressively dismissive words to say "I don't feel that 2ms is worth optimizing for." Have you considered that you might be wrong in this case, dramatic comparisons aside?

That's an especially nuanced take, to the point that it's the first time I've even encountered it. Nearly everyone I've met against GMOs seems to think the problem is that they're creating some kind of mutant plant
