Well there are real challenges here. Generators which rely on massive spinning things naturally provide the grid with inertia; they resist changes to grid frequency. Power sources which rely on inverters or otherwise dynamically adapt to

I do believe distribution matters somewhat. For example, Fedora requires a lot of messing around to get video playback to work. A non-techie is gonna have a hard time installing gstreamer non-free plugins and non-free ffmpeg from RPM Fusion

The Copilot stuff has to be the largest expenditure of cultural capital in history. Eliminating so many extremely strong brand names in the name of promoting the Copilot brand. I wonder how they imagine it'll ever pay of...

This needs a response, and my opinion will certainly be up in the air until I hear an explanation (or lack thereof) from AdaFruit.

I don't feel it necessary to take matters into my own hands. If you read my original message again: > Either my game has to resample from 44.1kHz to 48kHz > before sending it to the system, or the system > sound

I've been trying to figure out whether this is true or not, and I've only been able to find that it doesn't compound: the noise from the original quantization and the noise from the second (post-resample) quantisation aren&

Wait is THAT why I've been unable to build compiler-rt on macOS? Do you have a link?

That's not how audio works. PCM data at some sample rate with infinite precision samples perfectly encodes all the audio data of all frequencies up to half the sample rate. Resampling is a theoretically lossless operation when the

Yeah, they know and their comment reflects that knowledge. They're saying that if we had infinite bit depth, we could arbitrarily resample anything to anything as long as the sample rate is above the Nyquist frequency; however we don&#

by mort96 10mo ago
AFAIU, 40kHz exactly wouldn't really work, if your goal is to represent 0Hz-20kHz: in order to avoid aliasing, you need a low pass filter to remove all frequency content above half your sample rate, and no filter is infinitely hard (an

If my audio files are 44.1kHz, and the user plays 48kHz audio at the same time, how do I practically avoid my audio being resampled?
852.
by mort96 10mo ago
The OS "deals with it" by resampling when necessary.
853.
by mort96 10mo ago
And actually, why do we have both 48kHz and 44.1kHz anyway? If all "consumer grade high quality audio" was in 44.1kHz (or 48kHz) we probably could've avoided resampling in almost all circumstances other than professional audi

If only it was that simple T_T I'm working on a game. My game stores audio files as 44.1kHz .ogg files. If my game is the only thing playing audio, then great, the system sound mixer can configure the DAC to work in 44.1kHz mode. But i

In the EU, regulations you have to follow are often implemented through standards. For example, the EN 18031 series of standards are part of the radio equipment directive. As a manufacturer, you comply with the directive by conforming to th

You conform to standards and specifications.

And .. it's also just a normal word which describes what you do in relation to regulations or standards

Needing to conform to various rules and regulations isn't exactly a new thing

Neither beer nor speech were the topics of discussion. "Free as in speech rather than free as in beer" is an analogy commonly used to specify that you're talking about freedom rather than money.

I think it's an excellent example to be honest. Most of the time whenever someone proposes some use case for a large language model that's not just being a chat bot, it's either a bad idea, or a decent idea that you'd do

Does it actually scale well to that many cores? If so, that's quite impressive; most video game simulations of that kind benefits more from few fast cores since parallelizing simulations well is difficult

Is it just "some upcoming chips" inventing their own extensions? Or is this a standardized ARM extension? Basically, will writing against these upcoming chips mean writing one implementation for Qualcomm, one implementation for Ro

Democrats lost, in part, by giving in to the republican narrative around immigration. They gave up on arguing that immigration can be good, and started accepting the republican framing of it as a problem to be solved. This strategy is doome

You just need to encode the size of values in bytes to make it possible to partially parse the format. Imagine the following object: { "attributes": [ .. some really really long array of whatever .. ], "

Which is great, but a JSON parser fundamentally can't avoid looking at every byte. You can't jump to the next key, you have to parse your way to the next key.

Sure, but employers will want a return on investment too. And productivity studies which aren't backed by these AI companies haven't exactly been promising. With how stingy some companies can be with the basics such as getting a l

As someone who can't stand these tools, I'm ecstatic. Y'all have been hooked by the early venture-backed "scale up at all cost" period. You're gonna get squeezed so hard once investors start demanding returns o
