I call all of it “sugar water” so that my kids know the two main ingredients.

I hope they licensed this footage appropriately and paid the voice actors scale, but I’d bet good money they didn’t.

Then I think you should enjoy the chips from la cocina de Josephina without regret.

Calidad is excellent and pretty available in the Southeast. We have local producers Ole and La Chiquita that I can find in a few stores and farmers markets. Depending on where you are, someone has got to be supplying the Mexican restaurants.

Sorry. I’m a fellow corn chip enthusiast and just wanted you to have all the facts.

Look on the back of the bag at who makes them.

Thank you, that was an interesting breakdown. I really appreciate his methodology. I’m going to deep dive into anything he has posted. Though he doesn’t come to the same conclusion I do, the takeaway is:

1. Yes, there is noticeable sound loss when converting a 24 bit sample to 16 bit.

2. You can really screw with a 24 bit sample and still have a listenable file, presumably because of the bit depth.

3. Recording and mastering in 24 bit benefits classical music reproduction, and I would argue, any acoustic music reproduction. So, anything with a vocal, drum kit, acoustic guitar, etc.

Since the video is about dither specifically, he does conclude that mastering to 16 bit gives the technician a sturdier product when played back on the myriad of modern equipment we have. It’s arguable, sure, but since this an audiophile sub…

Really though, thanks for posting the video. Deep dive in 3, 2…

That’s why I didn’t mention the sample rate. You aren’t going to get really anything back increasing to 96 khz. But I promise you increasing the bit depth leads to a noticeable change in the perception of the recording. You’re not going to get anything from modern pop since it’s compressed to hell and back, but find a good recording of an album you’ve listened to a lot and find some decent, wired headphones and try an A/B of a 16 and 24 bit mix. You’ll see what I mean.

"considering that 16-bit, 48kHz exceeds the threshold of human hearing even for “golden ears,”

Um, no it doesn’t. 16-Bit dynamic range is 96 decibels, 24-bit is 144 decibels. 96 cuts off quite a bit of an average person’s hearing range. A/B a 16 and 24 bit recording and you can hear it easily over even modest headphones.

Phone manufacturers know where you touch your screen the most often and put their shittiest apps in that spot so you accidentally engage. It’s the only reason I open up Google’s AI, because I did it by accident.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He can come back and do anything at any time. He had so much more to give and so much more to receive. God damn shame.

I’d love to see Gilda Radner come back for Weekend Update.

Annie Wersching should still be playing the Borg queen.

I don’t know if this link will work, but Moody’s just released a statement that almost half of US states are in a recession. Closer Look on GPB had a Moody’s economist on their podcast today:

Hell arrived a while ago and it is summer on Lake Myvatn, or Midge Lake. You can’t breathe without inhaling insects, so you have to wear a mask just in case a cloud of those things happen your way.

Okay, now defend us from the foreign censorship that Israeli lobbyists baked into our state constitutions. https://www.newsweek.com/pro-palestinian-protest-states-colleges-illegal-bds-1895292

I’ll hang on to 10 as long as they’ll let me, but I am never going to 11. Then it’ll be a distro for dis bro.

Sorry.

Before Jenny, there was Pennsylvania 6-5000. From wiki:

“Many big band musicians played in Hotel Pennsylvania’s Cafe Rouge in New York City, including the Glenn Miller Orchestra. The hotel’s telephone number, Pennsylvania 6-5000, inspired the Glenn Miller 1940 Top 5 Billboard hit of the same name.”

And similarly, Transylvania 6-5000, which is where I first heard it.

From the article: “The company claims One UI 8 brings “multimodal capabilities, UX tailored to different device form factors, and personalized, proactive suggestions.” Having used the new OS for a few hours, it doesn’t seem like much has changed with Samsung’s AI implementation.”

If you are curious, the article goes into more detail about the tweaks to the AI layer. I just wanted to provide a TLDR for those keeping up with the general AI shenanigans.

Well, that’s one area you definitely don’t want dandelions growing.

They do, and as a Canadian, they should know that fellow Canadian John Hopps invented the 1st pacemaker. He’s even considered the father of biomedical engineering. I dug through trying to find out if he coined the term “heartpacer,” no such luck. It sounds like a Dutch translation to me.

I am outside of the loop and I appreciate your break-down. I am all for paying for useful services, but I have such a backlog of media that I need to watch, I don’t benefit from Trakt. I like a paid business model, though

We should all question a “free” app that lets us spend 1 or 2 or 8 hours a day on their platform. We’ve gotten greedy, thinking that everything should be personal data or advertiser supported. It stinks that Trakt is cutting features while raising prices, all for a pretty simple service, but I think subscription services that protect your privacy are worth funding.
