I have two cats that I have clicker trained. They can: shake, high-five, fist bump, stand up, and will "go here" and come and touch your finger. They won't do any of the tricks wit…

Just here to say that you can order small samples of natural Uranium on Amazon.

Just to be clear I'm talking about digital audio, not MIDI. I ran Cakewalk on my 386/486 as well, it worked great including SMPTE sync over to an analog tape machine

As a practical matter, the CPU has to deal with IO as well, I don't believe any 486 systems could handle this. DSP based systems struggled a lot with IO in the late 90s until faste…

Just going to add this RE: reliability. Today CPUs are so powerful you don't need DSP systems anymore to do things like low latency tracking. It is still up to the user to manage l…

Music is very latency sensitive. If you are recording any source you generally want to have overall latency < 5ms. Input and monitoring latency is usually either handled by using f…

I feel I must point out that education buildings in Missouri do not share designs with prisons as a norm. Maybe this is true somewhere in the state but not here.

We have something that has been dubbed a "divergeabout" which is a hybrid diverging diamond intersection with roundabouts chucked on both ends. I'm pretty sure these work based ent…

I had a chademo fast charging station clamp on my car and refuse to let go, along with not actually doing any charging. They tried resetting the charger but nothing worked. It even…

The authors of the paper do make a few concrete points about the problems with using AI to perform assessments on candidates. For example they mentioned that an AI designed to perf…

My experience is that spacers or not, using these with glasses is uncomfortable. Adding prescription inserts are more comfortable and provide a better visual experience. I bought s…

The district where my kids attend have suggested this on a few occasions. Frequently advanced math is the target. The district has hired a consultant that is charged with professio…

The Scouts who responded to this incident were passengers on the train that derailed. They were returning from Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. It is traditional for Scouts to t…

My sons recently completed the Nuclear Science merit badge, and one of the experiments involves the creation of a cloud chamber. The 'old school' method for obtaining a radioactive…

This is not really enough gain for most dynamic mics. Probably passable for many condenser mics, but they would also need phantom.

Missouri

Just as an interesting note, our school district has switched the entire fleet (around 150) to CNG. This has supposedly reduced opex substantially over diesel. Also a huge reductio…

I write and record music and this seems pretty useful as a tool for songwriting. I can think of some cases where the notes and photo notes for gear and the markers are useful. The …

Yes it is true that you can deal with that amount of latency, but 10-20ms is way up in the 'very sloppy' range especially when it comes to recording.

FWIW, I have been using the Captor X as a quick tracking and editing tool. I will record the DI + Captor track. It can be a bit easier to comp the DI parts. Then later I go back an…

I could see using something like this on a pedalboard in pedal form if you had the latency around <5ms or so for sure. I use a combination of analog and digital effects combined wi…

It only takes a small amount of latency (5 ms or so) to noticeably impact performances by musicians. Latency is also an issue when you want to monitor a live signal along with othe…

I used to frequently boot up my SGI and NeXT and try random sites with super old browsers to see if they still work. Sadly SSL everywhere has largely killed that experiment.

I have two kids in elementary school. Our school district issues Chromebooks for all students in the district and have been doing this for several years. We are fortunate to have G…

Agreed on the talking. Especially if you are in a club before a show. Talking over the noise is taxing.
