If a recording of someones very rare voice is representable by mp4 or whatever, could monkeys typing out code randomly exactly reproduce their exact timbre+tone+overall sound?
I don’t get how we can get rocks to think + exactly transcribe reality in the ways they do!
Edit: I don’t get how audio can be fossilized/reified into plaintext
Its funny that human perception seems to be anecdotally tied to double digit milliseconds when if you ask any drummer or guitar player about input latency they’ll tell you that the absolute maximum round trip latency to be able to enjoy playing the instrument is in the range of 5ms.
Only once latency dips under 5ms does it start feeling “right”. Personally, I groan when I have to use anything over 3ms with my guitar as the second I hit high tempos the latency is unbearable.
Below 3ms it gets very hard to say that you can feel a difference.16th notes at 250bpm with 5ms latency has you approaching 10% of the note separation time. It’s 100% perceivable.
