Yeah any time brave comes up here, you can be assured the pitchforks will be out faster than anyone could load (much less read) the article. Seems people are always ignoring many of the unique ideas that brave brings to the space that I think could be quite important, but you never see those discussed.
I don’t suppose there is a way for the SoC to run something besides Python? I appreciate the flexibility of a scripting language and would love to try one of these out, but I feel like a hardware device should have a RTOS (or no OS) and a language that doesn’t have a GC. Can you imagine having jitter/latency randomly introduced from the Python layer?
That's Fraunhofer for you.

In the early days of MP3, all MP3 rippers and players were built off of their implementation.

Hardware and software companies had to license in order to play MP3 files. As such there was not native support for MP3's for quite some time.

In the late 90's right around the explosion of MP3's on the internet, Fraunhofer was going after companies for doing so.

In my humble opinion, that license mess set back innovation in the portable audio space by a good 5 years.
600k is too low for any home in the area that isn’t in bad shape at that size (and your example shows this). Also, that 30min can become 1h+ with traffic, with almost no public transit alternatives.

Sure! Ethan's have to watch out for each other. Just noticed your first name on this reply.

Btw (because I also peeked at other links), if another UX discovery data point re: pharma research would help, flip me an email (in profile). My father just retired from T10 drug discovery R&D (pathology), and would probably be willing to talk your ear off re: process issues.

not an expert, but from what i understand is more like that they "extend" the codec with technique more effective on higher resolution content, or new "profile" (parameter) more effective for higher resolution content (a bit like you can have different parameter when you zip file).

This new techniques can also be used for 1080p video (for example) but with lower gain.
Also the "old" algorithm/system are generally still used but they may be improved/extend.

This is all confusing to me but I've been having certificate issues today and it seems like this could be related. It's a weird coincidence if not!

Basically on Chrome one of my sites is throwing:

"NETT::ERR_CERTIFICATE_TRANSPARENCY_REQUIRED"

for most users but not all, even though they're all on Chrome. It seems to work fine in other browsers.

https://transparencyreport.google.com/https/certificates

When I check my domain here it seems like I have got the transparency certificate so I shouldn't be getting this error.

Is this related to what you're talking about? I would really appreciate any help. I'm using https://letsencrypt.org/ for the cert.
Other things that lead to people leaving:

Cut total compensation without cutting salary. A favorite cut is to reduce the quality of the insurance (and the cost to the company). The unilaterally changed your compensation without telling you let alone negotiating a new contract.

Pay people the minimum instead of what they are worth. The guy who can walk to work from his house - you know he's not going to leave if you underpay him.

I'm with you wrt Twitter.

These tweets and videos serve as a conversational currency of sorts. Not sure it's worth it.
I don't see anywhere where it says _where_ it will be released. I assume SideQuest?
It is true because there is no alternative. Dismissing the exponential growth and required time commitment won't make it go away, if anything it amplifies the problem and increases the number of discussion that need to happen in the end. If you have no consensus then the stance will just be taken for you by whoever screams the loudest, in modern times that is social media and advertising.
I've seen it all the time. If someone is in pain, for instance, I've seen tons of people stop and say "oh shit, I didn't realize how much this hurt you".

We're social creatures built to respond to joy, anger, pain, grief, etc. Trying to cut them out of a discussion means that emotional people aren't allowed to participate when they, in fact, may have the most important voice to listen to.

Iran is responsible for the Yemeni famine? Now I’ve heard it all.
"the way Yann LeCun talked about biases and fairness topics was insensitive"

Insensitive according to who? The most sensitive 5% of people? All statements will be deemed insensitive by at least one person somewhere. It's silly to allow the most extremely (often unreasonably) sensitive people to set the threshold for what is sensitive or insensitive speech.
This could be nice. Often observed restaurants struggling around residential areas. WFH could help support more heterogeneous zoning, which would also reduce needing to own a car or use public transit
The point is that if the reasoning these people do were actually coherent, a person who doesn't have a car should not have to pay taxes for road maintenance, or only people with children should pay for schools, and so on, but I never heard them arguing for this.

Also if I were to see ads for something unrelated in my city on a small LA brewery web site I would feel a bit suspicious.

That is awful, my employer actually gave out some of our "old" desk chairs, so I took one with an arm missing, I don't use the arm rest, so I took out the spare arm, otherwise if I had asked for my actual desk chair I'm sure they would of given it to me to use. We're technically allowed in the office due to the type of work we do (defense contracts) but mostly work remote, I have only heard of a few people going to the office for anything they need. It's sad when companies don't treat you like adults.
I'm probably not up for a move to the UK, but if you don't mind, could you tell us a bit more about your job?

What sort of projects have you been able to work on? What's the work culture like? Do you find the actual technical problems you work on exciting, or is it more the domain that excites you (i.e. building and operating a racecar)?
When I wrote that I didn't know about retaliation clauses in AV1 patent pool license. That said, a huge chunk of patents involved in all MPEG standards (AVC, HEVC, etc.) meant that if you tried to go after them, you might have lost licenses necessary elsewhere, so it's all a question of risk analysis for someone who wants to torpedo AV1 with a patent.

What's wrong is claiming that AV1, VP9, VP8 are "patent-free". They are not.
Exactly! Before the virus hit I would walk long distances just wandering, mostly because I liked to move from place to place. I think of a lot of things while walking, but even more, it's a great and easy way to benefit the body and mind.
I'm not sure how underserved it is. I suspect that a lot of people just don't want to pay for a co-working space out of their own pockets and would normally content themselves with going to coffeeshops, etc. to get out of their apartments.

A prediction/promise competition to increase accountability in general.

Politicians/companies spew words and we tend to accept them bc they're "authorities." I believe the best way to increase "skin in the game", accountability, and humble expertise is to predict and have your predictive performance be visible.

There's prediction markets to trade real money with but none that I've seen that ranks your performance against others.

I'm building a platform where it's free to enter/submit predictions in categories of interest. Top ranked players will receive prizes.

I think once players can measure themselves against "authorities" (whose public predictions will be scraped), both will become more accountable.

After predictions, I aim to work on "promises" since they both increase future skin in the game.

What really annoys me is that Article 52 of the EPC explicitly excludes software from patentability. It couldn't be more clear in its language (to me). But when I talked to a patent lawyer about this a while back he said didn't really mean that and software could and is easily patented.

I would agree that state of game engines/libraries in Delphi/FreePascal is far from ideal. Pasvulkan on github might be possible exception as it is done very professionally but is also very opinionated.

As for the subject itself you seem to be overreacting. Delphi and FreePascal/Lazarus are very decent tools.
What is different in this case is it is not really an energy storage system (at least that is not the main intended purpose), but only to provide stability to the grid frequency. A huge flywheel in a vacuum to provide a reference to millions of distributed PLLs. I don't think the idea is to always have it spin at a fixed rate with minimal losses.

In the case where a flywheel is used as a UPS, the rate at which it is spinning will vary in accordance with the stored energy.
When it comes to policing this is actually a real problem and a violent one. Watch this vicious attack that police pretend a dog did it while not doing anything but provoke more pain. Imagine for a second you were black when you saw this. Getting arrested, not resisting and being mauled by a police dog, this leaves me speechless...

The ____ (insert scientific community/field here) has a toxicity problem.

It can be said from every single field in science (I am in the natural/health ones):

- peer review is broken - check

- reproducibility problem - check (try to reproduce any miracle cancer cure paper)

- worshipping problem - check, there are kings and no one can take them down.

- diversity problem - check. In my department 80% of the professors and PhD and postdocs are women.

- moral and ethics are set arbitrarily - check. Morals? in Genetics? give me a brake

- there is a cut-throat publish-or-perish mentality - check, tell me something new

- discussions have become disrespectful - check. The time I saw Pavel Pezner giving a keynote lecture at ISMB and instead of showing his work he spend 70% of the time dressing down other people and trashing their work, Science died to me. And this was early 2000’s.

Machine learning won’t be the first field to notice it, and won’t be the last. Science is not scientific anymore.
Your comment was deaded. I vouched for it because I don't see anything that looks obviously inflammatory/incorrect, but I noticed that a large fraction of your comment history is also dead. You might want to look into that, since most of the dead comments also looked fine to me.
Most of the food I've gotten from ghost kitchens has been pretty okay, but it's still way too expensive, especially if you're a good tipper.

I'm a well paid software engineer, so I can afford to pay like $20 surcharge on laziness, but it doesn't really make sense.

The ghost kitchen burger isn't thaaaat much better than fast food and 2-3x the price. The ghost kitchen burrito is actually worse than the local Mexican street food, just will be delivered to me door.
I always wonder how people come up with these statements, is it just anecdotal?

To add my own, my company was shifting to working remotely for the development team gradually, but now our CEO has been impressed with how well we adapted to working from home and has told us that our office will not be open until September at the earliest.
This reminded me of Finnish folk racing Jokamiesluokka[1], where the owner of the car has to entertain offers for the car after a race and must sell the car if there's a willing buyer. This is to keep the cost of cars down.

So, I'm not done looking, but money is not the only deciding factor.

UK companies will broadly respond the same way.

Brave bought the brave.com domain from the band Brave Combo, whose homepage was listed as http://brave.com/bo since the early days of the web.

The article isn't unclear, it's just weird. Smoothing out the input power is doubtlessly the most common purpose of a flywheel, second to power storage, and both of those is what this flywheel is for too. Describing a flywheel in terms of a turbine due to turbines acting as flywheels is the part that's weird.

The author tries to argue that dopamine is not addictive by talking about how the absence of dopamine can affect critical bodily functions but never sufficiently disproves the well researched claim that dopamine when given in artificially large amounts, which is crucial point when talking about dopamine addiction, is indeed addictive. At best the author is making a technical distinction that for the most part is inconsequential.

And just like commercial channels, you cannot sponsor news programs.

I'm no expert when it comes to video codecs but I'm surprised that we're still able to see such strong claims of algorithmic improvements to h264, and now to h265. I'm also aware of how patent-encumbered this whole field is and I'm skeptical that this is just a money grab.

I think this behavior makes perfect sense when you view it through the lens of type theory. Functions that return a real number must always return a real number. Some function types are defined by something like ‘R, error’, and then it’s up to the caller to check ‘error’. Others throw exceptions that bubble up the call stack and may never return ‘R’, which in a sense breaks the type contract and has “exception” theory preceding type theory.

Black people are convicted of disproportionate amounts of crimes which is different than committing a disproportionate amount of crimes. Or at least as disproportionate an amount.

The police, prosecutors and juries will go after black people more harshly and more often. Blacks are also more likely to be poor which means they cannot afford good legal defense.
Yeah. It's a mess.

The video patents aren't just "patent troll" patents, either. They are highly enforceable, and were registered by corporations like Ampex.

I have been trying to write a simple app to stream RTSP (security cameras), and that has been a pain.

I need to basically use either proprietary (paid) or GPL software to do it.

Video software is not for the faint of heart. Much as I grouse about the licensing, I am not about to develop my own codec.

I did write this one app, which is an ffmpeg wrapper, to convert RTSP to HLS (Which is not -currently- suitable for realtime streaming): https://github.com/RiftValleySoftware/RVS_MediaServer

It's GPL, because I need to use the GPL ffmpeg H.264 codec.

Careful with your words. You say "black people commit disproportionate amount of crime" but it is entirely possible that black people are prosecuted more often for the same crimes as white people do not get prosecuted for. A simple web search will show you that is true.
