> At first, I used some random phone chargers, but the Pis would always complain about undervoltage, and throttle their CPU This is a real annoyance with raspberry pi's. At first y…

Don't compare your inside to other people's outside.

It's wild that the article frames this as > what started as an experiment in productivity became a runaway success and > figuring out if the company can afford this level of produc…

It doesn’t make sense to lump python and Julia together in this high-level/low-level split. Julia is like python if numba were built-in - your code gets jit compiled to native code…

Is there evidence that minimizing finger movement is ergonomically desirable? It seems like "repetitive" is a key part of RSI, so making the exact same small motion over and over a…

Cool and surprising to see built-in support for the Snyderphonics Manta [1], which is a pretty niche controller. I wrote the `libmanta` library [2] that is vendored into sapf. Have…

Thanks for the extra info, I read through some of your entries on GPU optimization and it definitely seems like it's been a journey! Thanks for blazing the trail.

I’m very curious about your experience doing audio on the GPU. What kind of worst-case latency are you able to get? Does it tend to be pretty deterministic or do you need to keep a…

Does it work with separate browsers on the same machine? Not sure but I’d guess this sort of filtering would be more common on the browser than the OS

I saw that phrase and thought it was pretty weird. Hunting wild animals for food is not some fringe thing that happens in "other places" I've eaten tons of fish, duck, deer, elk, e…

I remember back in 2008-ish Johnny Lee at CMU built a cool hack that tracked the user's head using a Wiimote as an infrared camera, and used it for this kind of effect. https://you…

Say I walk into a machine, and then I walk out, and also an exact duplicate walks out of a nearby chamber. My assumption is that we’d both feel like “me”. One of us would have the …

The underlying clang featurs support compile-time checks as well via the Performance Constraints system: https://conference.audio.dev/session/2024/llvms-real-time-sa...

it's an unfortunate terminology collision. - array languages: rank is the dimensionality of an array, i.e. a vector is rank-1, a matrix is rank-2, a N-D array is rank-N - linear al…

OSC (Open Sound Control) is just awesome. It's basically a lightweight protocol on top of UDP packets. It's not hard to roll your own implementation if there isn't one for your pla…

I'm a little confused as to the fundamental problem statement. It seems like the idea is to create a protocol that can connect arbitrary applications to arbitrary resources, which …

zz^* is fine for scalar complex numbers, but z^*z is nice because it also works for vectors. You can think of the complex conjugate as a special case of an adjoint, and the hermeti…

I did a bunch of contract work last year at a company that was all-in on Julia and it was a really pleasant experience. IMO one of the issues with Julia is that it’s easy to get ne…

One of the issues with Julia for this kind of thing is that it’s tuned for throughput more than latency, especially the sort of worst-case latency you worry about for realtime syst…

> an error of even 1/8 mm in the placement of the camera would result in a useless image. That doesn’t make sense to me. Presumably part of the image stitching process is aligning …

The tube amp simulation market is already pretty…saturated. :)

Do these both assume the quantile is stationary, or are they also applicable in tracking a rolling quantile (aka quantile filtering)? Below I gave an algorithm I’ve used for quanti…

Here's a simple one I've used before. It's a variation on FAME (Fast Algorithm for Median Estimation) [1]. You keep an estimate for the current quantile value, and then for each el…
