Talk:SoundStorm

message: This article is wrong and repeats a common misconception. SoundStorm never was a sound chip. Soundstorm was/is a certification/branding. Perhaps it can be thought of as somewhat akin to Centrino. The Nforce APU was the sound 'chip'.
:Okay I fixed it myself largely.
--
I have replaced the information on Creative's purchase of Sensaura, adding a cite. This is very relevant to NVIDIA's discontinuation of the SoundStorm, given that without Sensaura's middleware, any further development of the SoundStorm platform would require NVIDIA to write that code themselves, increasing development costs substantially.
--
And I have deleted the above statement which is categorically incorrect!  Unlike most of Sensaura's customers, Nvidia developed their own drivers (using of course the Sensaura IP).  Creative's purchase of Sensaura had no direct bearing on further development of Sensaura.  It is just coincidental that Nvidia's decision to discontinue hardware audio acceleration happened around the same time as Creative's purchase of Sensaura.  Other Sensaura licensees (e.g. Analog Devices with their SoundMAX branded audio) continue to use the technology and the Sensaura team continue to develop and support those customers and the drivers that they use.
Also, it should be noted that Nvidia remain a licensee of Sensaura technology.  Although the Nforce 1 MCP chip is no longer shipping on PC motherboards, the Xbox 1 is still shipping with the MCP-X.  If Nvidia chose to ship Sensaura on PC motherboards that use the MCP then they could still do so.
--
"Creative's purchase of Sensaura had no direct bearing on further development of Sensaura." This is, of course, why there have been no new drivers for the cards of Sensaura licensees like the M-Audio Revolution series, the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz/Catalina, AD's SoundMax hardware, and other similar hardware since early 2004, even though those cards and chips are still on the marketplace.
Totally a coincidence. Nothing to do with Sensaura being purchased by Creative in late 2003 and the "repurposing" of their development staff. Anyone who says otherwise just hates Creative.
Not going to bother editing the main page because it'll just get changed back. Luckily, most people who actually know anything about sound cards already know what's going on.
--
Sorry, typo on my part.  I meant to write "Creative's purchase of Sensaura had no direct bearing on further development of Soundstorm."  Of course Sensaura's customers had concerns about taking technology from major competitor Creative.  Many chose to switch to QSound or their own in-house 3D audio solutions.  But Sensaura/Creative do still license the technology to those that want it.  The technology is still being developed.  Analog Devices are one company that still use Sensaura and they have issued a number of driver updates since Sensaura's purchase.

thread_title:  Requirements Testing 

message: Much of the info in sentences is correct, but many section headers are misleading if not wrong. How info is organized is also info.
Article conflates test automation with software testing in general. For example, 'regression testing' is not an approach to test automation. Regression testing is a particular kind of software testing. A regression test is much easier and cheaper to run if it's automated. So, if one wants to connect these two concepts, it could be as a value/plus/advantage. Most if not all of the things under approaches are not that. They are kinds of software testing.
I wouldn't call TDD or continuous testing 'methodologies'. They are smaller than that term implies.
Test automation is not inherently required for continuous delivery. It's wise to test before delivering. Critical is way too judgmental.
predicted? it's called expected.

thread_title: Alternative approach using complex numbers

message: I have removed the following sentence:
:This observation, though trivial (as we will see from the formulas below), has a rather nice interpretation: in spacetime, an object is always in motion (at the speed of light!); it's just that in a rest frame, this motion is all in the time direction.
In my view this is misleading, although statements to this effect do appear in some "coffee-table" popularisations of relativity. An object moves in space. In spacetime it is a worldline and does not move at all. The four-velocity is just the normalised tangent vector to the worldline.--Dr Greg (talk) 16:58, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed contentious phrase 

message: Therefore light, and anything else traveling at light speed, do not experience the "flow" of time. 
Well, if we, at rest, or uniformly moving (our four-velocity pointing in direction of our proper time axis), experience the flow of (our proper) time, couldn't we conjecture that anything traveling at speed of light along arbitrary spatial (spatial to us) axis would probably experience the flow of its own proper time just as well, like we do? OTOH, we know that speed of light remains the same in all frames of reference, which means that all observers, regardless of where their respective four-velocity vectors point will experience the light as moving perpendicular to their respective four-velocity vectors. What that tells us about the path or shape of photons and other massless particles? Or, more bluntly, do we need more dimensions then four to explain it? --147.91.1.43 (talk) 13:59, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Interpretation 

message: It seems that everything in the "Theory of Relativity" section assumes constant velocity, without saying so.  Otherwise, would we have t=\gamma \tau?  Also, I find writing things like x^1(\tau)=x^1(t) confusing.  Isn't it bad form?

replies: text: The Special Theory of Relativity is formulated with a definition of Four-velocity such that, for any object, it is always of constant magnitude, although its direction can change.  It is a unit tangent vector.  With this definition the Theory can be interpreted as a (multi-dimensional) geometry. For objects in free-fall the integral of the four-velocity is a geodesic (think "straight line" in flat space) in space-time. Cloudswrest (talk) 23:13, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Amanda is named as mother in 1678, so the name first appears when the mother is born in 1650's or earlier (mid seventeeth century).

message: I've removed the claim that MTB 102 was the only Second World War Navy vessel at the 2012 Queen's Diamond Jubilee Pageant.

thread_title:  Jubilee Pageant 

message: The article mentions that the boat was used, in 1944, as the craft aboard which both Churchill & Eisenhower rode to inspect the D-day invasion fleet.
Would this really be so?
MTB 102 was a small vessel with poor seakeeping and very little space. Giving a poor ride at any speed above slow in any water except flat calm, she would have been a very cramped little boat for the two most important men in the British Isles at the time aside from the King.
There seems to be a dearth of images of this event, in any case.
As far as the King himself goes, His Majesty inspected the Invasion Fleet from the decks of HMS Scylla (a light cruiser) and transferred from her decks to shore via the Fairmile Type 'B' Rescue Motor Launch RML 529. This boat had plenty of extra freeboard, plus an enclosed deckhouse aft (for use originally as a sickbay) which would have permitted HRH to be inside a cabin should he have needed to. Moreover, her size and fullness of hull, together with her extensive self-defence armament of 2-pdr, Oerlikon and MGs would have afforded both a better ride and better protection for her VIP passenger.
An image of the RML, flying the Royal Standard, is available on IWM: https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205155692
As i say, no similar photo of Churchill & Eisenhower on board a very small, weakly-gunned, old MTB seems to be discoverable by myself.
Yet many images exist of both men together, in posed publicity shots taken during wartime, so this absence of evidence seems an oddity.
The MTB had already been transferred away from flotilla duties (and a training flotilla at that) to the RASC. Would such an obscure old and small boat really have been brought back into regular service to be Ike's taxi? Or would they have used something newer, in better condition, better self-defending, roomier and more suitable for the role of motor yacht?
This seems very dubious. 2A00:23C7:3119:AD01:3CC3:E6B0:BEA9:DC74 (talk) 20:17, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
