Real Time Audio on general purpose operating systems is ridiculously hard to code.

Unfortunately (and unlike the visual system!) humans are *really* good at noticing audio hitches.

In video, you might have ~16ms to process a video frame, and if you miss the deadline, eh, just continue to display the existing frame. It’ll hitch…but a lot of people won’t notice. The eye is fairly forgiving, mostly deals in averages.

If you miss a SINGLE audio sample (.00002 sec at 44.1khz!) it’s super obvious!

The ear was basically made to detect discontinuities in waveforms; the real life equivalent would be like a twig snapping. The waveform collapse (single audio sample dropped) spreads energy across every frequency band at once, almost every hair cell in your cochlea fires!

There’s not really a great way to fix this. You can sample and hold, (either just the sample or the whole buffer), but the splice to the next chunk will have a *very* audible seam. Smarter systems will crossfade, and then really intelligent protocols like modern bluetooth will attempt to pitch-bend the seam.

But every single one of those “fixes” costs latency and CPU time…which you don’t have in real time audio!

新人から「会社のAIがメスガキになってます‼︎」とありえない報告をされ耳を疑ったけど、
とある社員が個人設定ではなく、誤って全体設定に"罵倒が激しすぎるツンデレのメスガキ"的な長文性癖を登録した影響らしく、
チームの全AIチャットがメスガキになるという異常事態が発生して、朝から笑い死にへ

When the original release went gold nearly 10 years ago you can see the disc has the change-list 25194 written on it.. the number of individual code/art commits!
Today we are now over 170,000 - a seriously mad amount of human endeavour and love put into the #NoMansSky universe over these years!
