Neat, it's too bad they seem to be tying it into some awful software and mapping system. Just sell the part that you're good at and let other people do the software!

Have you ever used: - Skype - Google Hangouts - Youtube on Chrome - Mumble - Teamspeak - the Playstation 4 - most speech recognition APIs If so, then you've used Opus.

The bunnies are being rendered on your GPU, but the final frames are being slowly composited in software. There is no fast path to quickly composite WebGL output on Linux yet.

This isn't a codec, it's a group to do patent analysis and development for a future codec. WRT hardware support, I agree, but it won't be available in the early life of any new codec so it's important that it also works

A word of caution: CABAC, as well as many use cases that surround it, are heavily patented. This is one of the reasons why Opus and Daala use (different) range coders instead: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-terr

The lab guidelines mention DD-WRT by name.

I saw their booth at IETF 93. I was pretty impressed - it also looks suitable for a lot of non-IP-networked use cases.

You're right, they did. However it's still made up - you can clearly see the four CPU cores underneath the "LTE / Adreno" section. Also looks like they posted some actual benchmarks. The numbers do look pretty impre

Ugh, it really bothers me how the partitioning in the die shot is 100% made up (it says so in the small text). It looks neat and all, but the Hexagon has existed for a while in a number of phones and I've seen pretty minimal usage of i

There's one for Yubikeys too, which I like because there's no battery to die.

Thank you for doing this, by the way. It'd be nice to figure out the whole Google link ranking thing, but I don't think switching away from Creative Commons is the way.

I'm comparing to things like: TI-83 - embarassingly bad hardware for the year 2000+, but everyone had one and you got to learn z80 assembly. Very similar to programming for 80's home computers. Gameboy Advance - really nice open s

>Raise your hand if you knew the switch to AMD would greatly benefit hacking vs custom, PPC chips Eh, I'd argue the opposite. The consoles being boring PC hardware has basically made hacking them pretty unrewarding.

Not only that, why do I need an Android or iOS device? Are we too hip for web configuration pages now?

They had to be actively transmitting in some manner for the FCC to get involved. Sending disconnect packets would be considered jamming by the FCC.

Wow okay, didn't realize that (was still thinking in extended-attributes SELinux land).

It still requires a proprietary NPAPI plugin on Firefox, sadly.

Well, you'd use 30% less bandwidth (and therefore start / seek faster). In addition, decoding VP9 in software is actually faster than H.264 with ffmpeg, the decoding library that VLC uses.

AppArmor can't do a *.pdf restriction. Even if it could, you still let through access to every pdf on your system. The point here is that the sandboxing needs to be watertight, or it's simply not effective. pdf.js runs in the JS s

W..what? I don't think this has been true for any Firefox version, ever. Certainly I'm using v6 right now. (Not on hn of course, it's v4 only)

>only allowed to read files You just let through the vulnerability in PDF.js.

The Air should be pretty decent as it has Intel graphics. Hopefully you also got one with Intel WiFi. You can just get a Live USB and try it out for yourself.

The Batterizer circuit is more widely known as joule thief [1]. It's a boost converter that produces a constant output voltage regardless of the battery voltage. Some sort of similar switching power supply is standard in things like ce

It also contained a bunch of oxidizers like potassium nitrate. In fact, I was a bit confused because I didn't pick up the calcium carbide -> acetylene generation, and just a huge amount of oxidizers wouldn't cause such an explo

Nonexistent, for these sorts of things.

What you describe is exactly what's done by most software. In fact, there are often several versions of each function, for each variety of CPU instructions supported. Take a look at x264 or libvpx for an example.

Yes, Theora is also royalty free. NETVC's goal is to surpass the quality per bit of existing codecs though, which Theora doesn't do.

This is old. libvpx 1.4.0 is a lot faster now and has multithreading. On my i7-4900MQ laptop, I get about 3fps encoding 1080p content. Still very slow, but 24 minutes for a 3 minute clip, not days.
