Congestion control is required to be enforced at the browser level as an anti-DoS measure. You could just have the browser API limited to 15kbps, but that seems like a silly limitation when the way around it has already been implemented...

While it sort of looks like that, I don't know of any non-software implementations of the API (they use some SIMD at most). The problem is that 48,000 samples per second really isn't that much, even with very complex processing. W

I notice it too, and it's because the music is extremely low bitrate - usually 48kbps, but sometimes as low as 32. It's HE-AACv2 - not as good as Opus, but close. Its characteristic artifacts include destroying transients, like yo

There is no reason the DAC or ADC can't internally do the resampling itself. In fact, most take it to the extreme - they resample to several MHz, but at 1 bit per sample, with noise shaped dithering as explained in the video linked els

At least the good thing is you can run the same benchmark locally and figure out what went wrong. Anandtech posted similarly wonky results for Chromium compiles on Threadripper, but that one isn't reproducible.

The Overdrive 1000 (with an AMD A1100) has this. You can boot Linux off CD or USB and just install it. It's pretty magical.

No, it's still more profitable to mine BCH even considering the transaction fees, see the home page of fork.lol: http://fork.lol/ The graph you linked is not considering block difficulty.

The patent describes not just "slotting in", but one way in particular. Note that if you were to "slot in" ANS into the current AV1 codebase, for example, it wouldn't actually read on this patent because AV1 codes i

Unfortunately, that's not the case, at least as the patent office currently sees things. There's thousands of patents for H.264 and HEVC that amount to "code a certain bitstream symbol with CABAC this certain way".

The issue without "Direct Mode" is latency, as your link says. You need to bypass both the browser compositor and the system compositor. On Linux, most compositors will implement something like Direct Mode (compositor bypass) when

Is the orbx format specification public? I can't seem to find it.

They are just trading their internal accounting of BCH, by crediting BTC holders with BCH. Nothing is hitting the blockchain. Bitfinex did this too, but royally screwed up: http://hackingdistributed.com/2017/07/29&

It's super unprofitable to mine BCH right now, at current exchange rates (assuming you could even sell BCH, which you can't). Miners stopped to wait for it to become profitable again, due to BCH's special difficulty adjustmen

In fact, Bitcoin Cash does have modified retargeting that drops difficulty much faster. (they could just have well dropped difficulty by 100 times at the fork, as well)

I suspect that many people are sending their balances to a new address, so that they can import their old keys into a Bitcoin Cash client.

Luckily they last-minute added replay protection so that transactions are chain-specific, making the situation far better. I've not reviewed their solution for correctness, but others seem content with it. [1] https://www.

Electrum themselves recommend moving your coins to a different set of private keys before importing the old set into that client, though: https://electrum.org/bcc.txt

He's probably referring to this handy chart of Bitcoin Core developer support of current hard and soft forks: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Segwit_support However, I think it's incorrect to say most developers d

by TD-Linux 9y ago
Correct, though this isn't really anything special about SegWit. If BCC had forked right before Bitcoin added P2SH for example, the same would have resulted from P2SH transactions. Actually, since BCC is a hardfork, they can make the B

Not quite, it needs 51% of hashing power in order to be safely backwards compatible with non-upgraded nodes, however it's always safe with upgraded nodes. That's the reason BIP9 has a 95% activation threshold. Note this is by far

I think they also may be referring to some Bitcoin Core authors recommending against other implementations - the concern is if the implementations contain an error in the consensus code, they could accidentally fork off, and potentially los

It's definitely a concern! WebRTC solves this in two different ways: 1. The receiving end must consent to receiving packets by completing the DTLS handshake required by WebRTC. 2. The browser enforces SCTP congestion control to avoid s

I think you checked too long ago. Appear.in, Jitsi, Discord, and Cisco Spark are all working with WebRTC now.

by TD-Linux 9y ago
Well, the problem is that I currently think WebRTC 1.0 is sufficient. For the example I gave, I think a simple JS library to write out the SDP is a perfectly fine solution. So I'm more asking, what did you find wrong with WebRTC?
