This is the “world’s first” phone call made using spatial audio

I don't really follow your logic, how else would you propose to shape the audio that is not "just an effect".

Your analogy to real life does not take into account that the audio source itself is moving, so their is an extra variable outside of just stereo signal -which is what spatial audio is modelling

And your muffling example sounds a bit over simplified maybe? My understanding is that the spatial stuff is produced by phase shifting the LR signals slightly

Finally why not go further? "I don't listen to speaker audio because it's all just effects and mirages to sound like a real sound, what only 2^16 discrete positions the diaphragm can be in" :p

It's definitely not indexed, we use RAG architectures to add indexing to data stores that we want the model to have direct access to, the relevant information is injected directly in the context (prompt). This can somewhat be equated to short term memory

The rest of the information is approximated in the weights of the neural network which gives the model general knowledge and intuition..akin to long term memory

You need rebase instead. Merge just creates useless commits and makes the diffs harder to comprehend (all changes are shown at once, but with rebase you fix the conflicts in the commit where they happened)

Then instead of your branch of branch strat you just rebase daily into main and you're golden when it comes time to PR
