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 without treats :) One of the cats had seemed int

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 faster SATA drives became ubiquitous. Lots of them used SCSI

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 latency by carefully selecting plugins, etc. With DSP

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 fancy DSP systems or a "hack" where input audio

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 entirely on fear and confusion. Fortunately this

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 eventually timed out and gave up after 12 hours or so. No harm d

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 perform a Big Five assessment on a candidate might be meaningfu

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 some very cheap glasses and 3d printed the inserts. They hav

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 take the trip to and from Philmont on a train.

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 source is using a lantern mantle, which is a pra

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

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 reduction in particulates. Probably not as clean as EV but an impro

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 instrument detection is I guess neat, but I can tell what

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 and re-amp them thru my amps and speakers. I do have the b

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 with analog amplifiers. I still prefer the actual amps qu

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 other recorded audio, like in a DAW. It is not as big a deal wit

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.

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

Great job putting out an entire self produced album and documenting it. I wanted to bounce this opinion off you. Its my opinion that most folks who are going to be using programmed drums would be better off with an inexpensive MIDI control

If you want to eat a banana before you singing go for it. Things you eat or drink don't touch your vocal folds, so they aren't going to coat or otherwise mess with them. My recommendations are drink plenty of water, avoid alcoho

I recently replaced a bunch of bulbs in my recording studio with LED and it was a huge mistake. They are basically RFI cannons. I removed them after realizing what was going on. I spent a couple of days hunting down a really nasty rogue

There have been no fares on our streetcars in KC since they debuted a few years ago. Currently they require EVERYONE to exit the streetcar when it terminates at either end of the route and this seems to work. Not sure what they will do wi

You have to be somewhat careful with statistics like these when dealing with cities like KC. Population information is frequently reported as 'Metro Area' as in the source you provided. The actual population of KCMO is < 500,
