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.
I know what you mean, but I’ve never seen a map like this and I am grateful for the perspective.
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:

It doesn’t look like they had a control group of people doing the strength training without any protein supplement. I would assume that group would also perform the same.
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.
Thanks to everyone who posts the archive link!
The why from the article: "According to the German statistical office, the “sharp decline” in car production was in part caused by the later timing this year of annual closures at car plants for holidays, as well as production changeover.
But a profit warning by German carmaker BMW late on Tuesday was the latest reminder of the industry’s structural challenges as it struggles with the transition to battery cars, weak sales in China, competition from Chinese rivals and US import duties.
Germany’s economy has been stuck in stagnation for more than three years."
From the article: “Is it Ed Gein who was abused and left in isolation and suffering from undiagnosed mental illness and…that manifested in some pretty horrendous ways? Or was the monster the legion of filmmakers that took inspiration from his life and sensationalized it to make entertainment and darken the American psyche in the process?”
I don’t know just how many people have quit from the Jimmy Kimmel controversy, but at least now Disney can say that the unsubscribers are doing it because of the price hike.
Trained on US user data that is controlled by a party sympathizer. This is the closing of the silicon curtain that MAGAts have been laying the groundwork for during the past decade. It is the same as China’s Douyin. That is what they want.
Especially from a tech critic.
Agreed on the independence part. We are much more interdependent than we let on (in the US especially, but other places as well).
If everyone 30+ got together and collectively decided what thriving meant, then worked to reach those goals, then I think we would all be thriving.
The majority isn’t hoping for a vacation home or to send their kids to Ivy League schools or to buy a bigger boat. The majority of middle class folk I talk to regard thriving as being comfortable enough to send the kids to some postsecondary school and take a few weeks vacation out of the country. They want to have enough to retire at 65 and live a modest life, be able to spoil their grandkids a little… nothing crazy.
The ability for all of us to thrive is already here. It is only the slight matter of systemic overhaul that prevents us.
This episode answers a very important question for me: how the heck can some alien being sneak onto a Starfleet ship? The answer: abject incompetence.
NX-01 aside, we see that by the time of the Enterprise, there are cameras everywhere! And, they are set to start recording on all channels during a Red alert. I always wondered with episodes all the way back to TOS The Man Trap, how could someone not have some sort of sensor or visual record of what happened on the ship? Vash can seemingly go anywhere she wants to pilfer relics. The Kazon can waltz around Voyager without security being hip to their game.
I feel like the video is there, just no one is watching.
I think he’s been in some Hallmark Christmas movies, so you might want to continue to avoid those.
We have a lot of sprawl here and the reasons are many. Just like Dallas and LA, we have a ton of road infrastructure and zoning laws that eat up a lot of land. We also don’t have any natural barriers, like an ocean or a mountain range, to limit our expansion. Just to keep building and add another lane. Thanks for asking.
Marchetti intended the constant to be 1 hour round trip, so a half-hour commute one-way. It’s an important distinction, since here in Atlanta the exurban commuter is clocking in at 1.5 hours or more into the city, well outside of what is considered tolerable. Multiply that by a million and you get some irritated people.
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:
Yes, there is noticeable sound loss when converting a 24 bit sample to 16 bit.
You can really screw with a 24 bit sample and still have a listenable file, presumably because of the bit depth.
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…
