The problem there isn't necessarily development, but rather the data accessible to developers.

What you need to have that level of visual interaction is the original stems (or something which emulates them relatively closely).

Services like https://www.lalal.ai/ are a step in the right direction, and will probably lead to what you--and many of us--crave. But as it is now, they require way too much computing to provide meaningful enough data fast enough to build a real-time visualiser.

But even then there is the whole issue of copyright which would bottleneck development even further...

Is rust feasible for writing audio applications that are dependent on tight timings, and low latency? E.g a DAW or vst

Go look at Reliance stock since the protests started. Their trick to kill competition is well known now.

Are you not aware that Indians have been boycotting Jio nationwide, even going as far as to destroy their towers in some states ?

What world are you living in, trying to use the company as an example of progress?

This is embarrassing. This is one of the shadiest people in India, who is in part responsible for the currently ongoing largest protest in human history.

He funded the current PM from being a no name local politician all the way to prime minister ( an ascent which included brutal racial killings of Muslims in Gujarat).

And since his reaching PM status, Modi's government has allowed one shady businesses practice after another to be carried out by Ambani's many companies, ultimately culminating in the passing of the three farming ordinances which would give Ambani's companies significant freedom to fixing prices of crops. This model has already been tested by Modi and Ambani in Gujarat, where Ambani's companies now own the farmland while local farmers immigrate of out state to find labor jobs... So this is ultimately about land, and no one is India is more land hungry than Ambani.

It is appaling that on one hand, this type of unethical behavior has resulted in the largest protest in history, with hundreds of thousands of Indians uniting together and traveling to Delhi through police barricades, to demand that the government take back the farming ordinances, which Ambani is directly behind.

And on the other hand, here we are, calling this man a genius.

Just because the truth is known, doesn't mean that it is accessible to the average person, or even undiluted enough to be recognized for what it is.

Plenty of folks probably have not come to terms with this being the truth even if they have tidbits of knowledge pointing to it's existence.

Like that pastor who urged people to look at the positives which came from colonization.

Perhaps the trains could partly be passenger trains, costing amusemant park rates.

Then collected money could eventually pay off the cost of construction, and eventually maybe even offset the maintenance cost.

If nothing else, it would certainly boast the advantage of being more fun than water storage.

So how would this hypothesis impact the idea of vaccination?

This is surprisingly relevant to audio engineering, where amateurs tend to layer too many sounds and end up with a "muddy" mix, and pros are very good at selectively removing elements/frequencies to make the rest of the sounds extremely clear and coherent

The comment below me gave an overview, but in the simplest terms, it just comes down to what the government says vs what the government is doing.

Farmers already felt oppressed and unheard in India, so naturally, when the government suddenly said: "here are three new laws and we promise they're going to be good for you" without consulting a single farming union, and passing them in such a haste, it raised all sorts of questions, and a sort of grassroots investigative effort uncovered a blatantly corrupt scheme, which i will get into, but first, a few facts about farming to add context:

A) Farming income in india has not increased in 40 years. Even if we just take this fact and inflation into account, it shows how unsustainable farming is becoming and helps us understand why 27 farmers a day were committing suicide in india, before the laws. Most farmers are incredibly poor and in debt.

B) Political parties have promised to aid them during campaigns, but once in power they've just carried on not caring.

C) a similar system of privatization has already been implemented in two states: Bihar and Gujrat. Since then, Bihari farmers have sold much of their land, and now seek labor work in other states such as Punjab, where farming is still the bulk of the economy. They had already been warning everyone against privatization due to their experience. When groups of farmers from both of these states attempted to travel to Delhi to join the protest, Police deployed checkpoints and used heavy-handed tactics to submit and scare them, putting those caught under house arrest. Even so, small groups of these farmers ended up reaching Delhi by obscuring their identities/ hiding through checkpoints. They then gave interviews detailing as such and expressed solidarity with the Punjabi and Haryana farmers who had reaching Delhi after breaking through various police barricades. They further warned the country that what had happened in their own states would happen in the rest of India because of the new bills.

D) every single one of the advantages touted by the government of the three bills, only sounds good to someone who doesn't understand the above context, making farmers further mistrustful of them. For example, Modi has repeatedly said that farmers will now have the freedom to sell their crops to anyone, anywhere, and they should be happy. What he ignores is that the vast majority of farmers currently have trouble getting their crops to local Mandis( grain markets) where they barely break even, and if they do it's because of MSP.

E) govt officials began to say that farmers don't need to worry about losing MSP, and it will continue, but it is literally discontinued as per the bills, and unless the government revises the law or makes a new one, there is zero reason to believe this. When directly asked whether they're willing to put the continuation of MSP into law, the government simply deflects and distracts from the question.

F) the bills make it legal to infinitely store goods, where previously there was a hard limit on how long someone could purchase and cold store grains, to prevent market manipulation. This single bill is extremely suspicious as it ties into existing fears that farmers have, because they have been seeing their land bought by large out of state companies. These companies will often bully several neighbouring farmers into selling their land, and then simply let it sit in some areas, while building giant warehouses in other locations.

G) Reliance, a telecom company owned by billionaire Ambani, has a mobile branch called Jio. Jio made Indians savvy to a particular model which corporations in India (or really anywhere) seem fond of. When the company first started, they offered users unlimited data, no strings attached. This of course led to the demise of competing companies, and everyone and their dog signed up with Jio. However, only a couple years later, when the competition was non-existent jio began to charge for data, and then kept on increasing the rates, to the point where today, they are charging more than all their competitors used to. This is seemingly it's own separate issues but it will tie into the farmers protest.

So what happened in Punjab was that during the two month long protest there where farmers blocked railroads and highways, a local journalist began to investigate the construction of the giant warehouses, and then published a piece about it. He basically concluded, with evidence, that the two main corporate powers backing the current government (Adani and Ambani) had already built many warehouses Punjab, while the construction of many others was ongoing.

Basically, the corporate powers were ready to purchase and cold store goods, as per the new laws, while the protesting farmers felt that not only were the bills passed completely behind their backs without any consultation, but their protests were now being ignored and maligned.

So this news caused mass outrage, and people began to boycott Jio, and some of their towers were even vandalized. The owner of Reliance being Mukesh Ambani, the Jio boycott became a natural way to support to farmers, and all across Punjab and Harayana, Jio reportedly began losing hundreds of thousands of customers per day.

The journalist who had written the piece, was then kidnapped by police officers in civilian clothing, and later revealed to have been 'arrested'. At this point many people, professional journalists and lay people alike, began to speculate that the Jio model would be used against farmers as well. That farmers would actually be given above MSP rates by corporate buyers for a couple of years, rendering the traditional mandis, where MSP is legally required, useless. And when those Mandis are gone, they corporations would begin increasing the rates, forcing farmers into either selling their land, or entering oppressive contracts with large companies who could bully them, as most farmers cannot even afford the legal fees to take someone to court were there to be any disputes.

While this sort of information was spreading through daily rallies and protests, the government began a string of unconventional arrests targeting key figures using bogus charges, which only made people even angrier, and more and more people joined the protest. It really turned into a game of chicken, with the government betting that their next step would scare the people, and the people believing that their next escalation would force the government to listen to their demands.

This kind of escalation has resulted in the protest today no longer being limited to just farmers, or just the farming states, as people from all walks of society from all over India are openly defying the government by reaching the Delhi protest sites.

The context and timing of this is what matters.

India is currently hosting the largest protest in human history. It was sparked by three ordinances which sought to regulate farming, by re-structuring how farmers may grow and sell their crops. The bills were passed with such haste and indifference towards the sentiments of opposing members in parliament, that something seemed very off right from the start.

And then farmers in Punjab began to accuse the government of siding with corporate interests (namely two billionaires, Adani and Ambani, and their various companies) and handing over an already exploited agricultural market to the corporate sector to be further exploited for profit. It was at this point, when after two months of heavy protests in Punjab, which the government did not directly respond to, and carried on non-chalantly with propaganda creation, that the anger began to spill over, and farmers began marching towards the capital, Delhi, forcing a reaction from the government.

That forced exchange between the farmers and government has led to a fascinating turn of events.

On one side, the farmers who have not even had a unified voice within India, let alone internationally, have gradually been given international attention and platforms to openly express themselves via social media.

On the other side, the Modi administration, which has far reaching influence and connections, while being directly called out to respond to the very valid points raised against them, chose to go with a strategy of playing ignorant and deflection, all the while ramping up propaganda to malign their accusers.

The main problem faced by the government is that while they keep trying to pin distinct groups as being a rogue anti-national 'elements' who have sparked protests for their own benefits, the protest sites have only kept on increasing in numbers as well as in diversity, rendering the government narrative as more and more disconnected over time.

And all of this has been continously documented by an impressive counter-movement to pro govt media, made up of daring freelance journalists using social media, many of whom have been arrested and detained without cause.

So while Indian democracy is being exposed, the Modi administration, despite mass protests spreading across the country, has only continued to pump out the same forms of propaganda and divisive speeches which have grown rather stale with Indians.

I've been paying close attention to the situation since late November, and it's been fascinating to see how Delhi's IT cell has been working in overdrive to restore trust in government sources of information by any means, resorting to anything from spamming flat out lies, to publishing photoshopped imagery, to mass reporting activist Twitter accounts to get them banned.

And all the while, on-the-ground social media journalism continues gain more and more public trust, eroding away the need for conventional sources of information.

The public's trust in pro government media outlets has gradually degraded to the point where reporters of those networks are being quizzed and questioned by citizens on sight regarding the ongoing protests, thereby completely nullifying the network's freedom to create and influence narratives in the ways they would like to (and have been used to).

Their reporters are also being heckled and harassed, and one reporter for Zee news (one of the biggest news stations) actually ended up quitting while live on the air, after protesters began to question whether his loyalty lay with the government or the people of India.

I think the current situation in India is testament to the idea that the so called information age may have run it's course, and we are now entering into an era where information is so abundant that the demand is centered around the quality of information and it's relativity to our own experienced reality, rather than perceived, because our perception can and has been influenced,through brute force if nothing else, to our own detriment.

So now the trustworthiness of a particular source of information is becoming far more important than the quantity of information provided by it.

Would this have any sort of meaningful impact on sound/music related processing? E.g I am thinking of vst applications running inside DAWs

Is this fiction or history?
