![]() ![]() My breakthrough came this evening when I started thinking about Signalyst’s Network Audio Adapter architecture: I’ve spent more hours than I care to admit trying to get TIDAL lossless streaming and digital room correction working together in the Loft. Other alternatives like feeding JRiver’s WDM or ASIO driver from a local TIDAL streamer proved unreliable at best. Sadly, neither of these things are likely to happen anytime soon. Until now, my only hope has been for a TIDAL player like roon to add a convolution feature or for JRiver to add support for TIDAL streaming. When a friend drops by for a listening session without a thumb drive containing their favorite reference tracks, they are stuck wandering aimlessly through my collection. However, that last issue–no TIDAL streaming–has been a major bummer! When someone suggests new music, I can login to TIDAL and preview it on my laptop but hearing what it really sounds like in the Loft must wait until I buy the CD or download it from HDtracks. I also only have a tiny handful of DSD tracks which, if I cared, could be converted to high-rez PCM files. The first two are no big deal I generally listen to entire albums or playlists, so lag is a non-issue once the music starts. Playback is limited to PCM files (no DSD).Real-time convolution means playback controls have a few seconds of extra lag.However, there are a few issues with this setup: This system sounds great (to me, at least), and the JRemote tablet interface works really well. The final step was to configure the convolution engine within JRiver Media Center to apply these filters during playback. After much research, I chose Acourate from AudioVero to design a target response curve and build FIR filters. I have large loudspeakers in a small room, so to get the bass under control, my system really needed some help from a digital room correction system. Before I get started, let me first explain my situation and why I’m excited. Read more about the innovative audiophile features that JRiver Media supports on the JRiver Wiki.I’m so excited! I just have to share…even though chances are slim that you will have any need for a setup like this. It includes an (optional) audiophile-grade crossfeed that makes headphones sound more natural and less fatiguing. Media Center is the ideal system for listening on high-end headphones. Media Center can bitstream DSD to high-end DACs using ASIO 2.2. JRiver Media Center plays high definition formats of FLAC available from HDTracks. Media Center fully supports WAV, AIFF, FLAC, APE, WMA Lossless, Apple Lossless, and WavPack. Matt Ashland, JRiver's CTO, created Monkey's Audio (APE), one of the first lossless compression codecs. JRiver is a pioneer in lossless compression. JRiver supports WASAPI, the best way to communicate with a DAC on Windows. As a result, should you choose to use them, digital volume, room correction, and other audio functions are pristine. Most high-end hardware uses 24-bit output, meaning the engine has an additional 240 dB of precision above the hardware's output. Shortly after arriving home from Las Vegas I arranged a meeting with the people at JRiver and started using the application exclusively."Īll audio handling inside the program is done with 64 bits of precision. I was finally convinced I needed to take JRMC much more seriously. ![]() I compared the sound to the OS X / iTunes partition on the same laptop and was surprised at how much better I like JRMC in that system. JRMC was running on a Mac laptop with Boot Camp and Windows 7. ![]() "In January 2010 at CES I listened to a demo using JRMC 14 and was really pleased with the sound. Here's what Computer Audiophile had to say. The leading website for computer audiophile topics gave JRiver Media Center a very favorable review. This means that it can output your CDs, your HD audio (88.1 KHz, 176 KHz, and more), your DSD, and any other audio perfectly to your DAC. JRiver Media Center audio is bit perfect. JRiver is widely respected by audiophile manufacturers and their customers.

![]() Our system replaces ALL words so the final text uses this 1,000 words vocabulary. Other methods of rewording or paraphrasing text typically change only those words or phrases they have a ready replacement for but leave many words untouched, so that the final vocabulary is unpredictable. This approach allows for infinite expressiveness using a FIXED finite vocabulary. This approach is also ideal as a pre-processing step in Big Data, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, and we have found it so useful in these applications that we have now made the service available to the general public. Premium and Platinum subscribers are able to generate reduced-vocabulary texts from any source language available on Google translate. Making sense of text having a reduced vocabulary, with complex words explained in footnotes, is much easier than reading the original full-vocabulary version in many cases even if translation into other languages is done for those whose mother tongue is not English. Ogden's Basic English, and explaining in footnotes, using this basic vocabulary, more complex words (currently, a 35,000-word advanced dictionay is employed). On the other hand, figuring this out is of course also kind of like your job if you want to learn a language :).Simplification is achieved by paraphrasing the original text using a working vocabulary of 1,000 words based on C.K. This is very reliable but of course you still need to figure out which one you're actually looking at. For example, if you search for "Tür", Canoo will show you a table with all the options (to wit: sg.nom, sg.gen, sg.dat, sg.acc). TüNDRA, which, among other things, contains a fully annotated version of the German version of Wikipedia.Ī non-automated method for determining the morphosyntactic properties that a given token (potentially) marks would be to enter it into Canoo's "Dictionary Morphology > Analyze inflection" interface. (There used to be at least one other web application, but I can't seem to find a working link.) On the other hand, there are countless web applications where we can see the fruits of these programmes, e.g. Language learners are not really their target audience, which is why they are usually rather obscure command-line applications that do not come with a beautiful web interface. This is possible once the corpus is "(morphologically) annotated" and that is what POS/morphological tagging software like RFTagger is designed to do (see here for more examples). To analyse how frequently entgegen is followed by a nominal phrase in dative and genitive case, for instance, you cannot use a full text search, so you need a way to specifically search for "entgegen" +. Why does such software exist? Linguists need such information all the time when they work with large corpora that would be impossible to go through by hand. At the end of the day, that simply reflects the current technological capabilities. The reliability suffers if the structure of a sentence becomes too convoluted, the word order is unusual (German is extremely flexible in that respect, which is a huge issue for such applications), and/or the tokens are ambiguous. I have no particular experience with Google's solution, though judging from my experience with other software (see below), it tends to be fairly accurate in "ordinary" cases, but we shouldn't pretend it is anywhere close to perfection. Obviously, this being entirely automated, the usual caveats apply. Using your example, this gives you the following annotated dependency tree (partial screenshot):Īs you can see, it (correctly) identifies Schlüssel and Tür as masc.sg.acc and fem.sg.dat, respectively. Just enter your sentence, click "Analyze", confirm that you are not a robot, and navigate to the "Syntax" tab.

Because I had dropped out and didn’t have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. I didn’t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends’ rooms, I returned Coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn’t interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. ![]() So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. ![]() After six months, I couldn’t see the value in it. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents’ savings were being spent on my college tuition. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.Īnd 17 years later I did go to college. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: “We have an unexpected baby boy do you want him?” They said: “Of course.” My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. The first story is about connecting the dots. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. Truth be told, this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation.

I still periodically go back and watch this cinematic. I kept rewatching it for weeks after Blizzcon and now I am tempted to watch it a few more times again Comment by ThaDuder on T16:01:23-05:00 I think the Three Thy Come trailer is the best trailer I have ever seen hands down, it is unreal. Huang establishes challenges and goals of the character models and what makes a character convincing in the world of Sanctuary and Diablo IV. On Diablo, that’s where I would pull back-from the broader forms and proportions to the details like wrinkles, minuscule details. If you take Varian, the forms of his face are realistically rendered, but if you were to squint your eyes and look at him as a silhouette, he’s got huge shoulders, his chest is like a barrel. So, a lot of that stuff is what a lot of our IPs work with-very stylized but a realistic sheen. no, StarCraft proportions are whack too,” Jason explained, laughing. “At Blizzard, going back to Warcraft, we’re always pushing it way more. ![]() The morning of the Opening Ceremony, the excitement in the air was palpable as players awaited what Blizzard had to offer them and "By Three They Come" did not disappoint.īlizzCon 2019 Opening Ceremony Content WarningĪmelia Savery via ArtStation MagazineFor the overall look and feel of the characters, the team was careful to push and stylize where they could to break away from photo-realism. This article provides a lot of contextual depth to the process involved in executing that vision to create realistic human performances that contributes to the darkness and terror of the world of Sanctuary.Įven before BlizzCon 2019 started, attendees knew they were in for something different and possibly darker than Blizzard had ever offered players before when mysterious content warnings started appearing around the venue. While some of that initial emotion comes from the nostalgia of growing up in the world of Sanctuary and of course experiencing this trailer live with thousands of the most hardcore Blizzard fans in the world, I can still watch the Diablo IV Announcement Cinematic in the quiet of my own home with nearly as much excitement and anticipation.Ī lot of that is attributed to the quality performance assembled by Blizzard in what I now learned was a 16-month long journey. In It’s a Gate: The Modelling Behind Diablo IV’s “By Three They Come' we learn more about the cinematic modeling process where artists leveraged concept art and live-actor performances to deliver compelling yet convincing close-up human performances to convey the darker and grittier narrative of Diablo IV.Īs we look back now nearly a year later on what would have been the weekend of BlizzCon 2020, it's still incredible to me how much emotion the cinematic reveals of BlizzCon 2019 can still evoke, especially Diablo IV's "By Three They Come".
