From a scientific perspective, you are probably correct. But think about it from a company/wealth creation perspective. Are you then really sure the correct course of action is to take it chill?

As engineers we are given building blocks that we can build things from. Iron, steel, copper, plastic. Every once in a while a new building block arrives. It takes a while for us to figure out how to use it. But when we do, the world change

First steps of how LK99 could be used - embed superconducting nanocrystals into things. Given how insanely much metals we use for conductors I think it will be quite a while until this sees any kind of mass usage. But wow what an industrial

It’s so fun to watch these builder-youtubers develop over time. If they just keep on releasing videos and building stuff, even if they are not so skilled in the beginning eventually they become really skilled! It really shows that practice

The list is INSANELY long. Most multinationals seem to be operating on a "business as usual" principle in Russia. If they all risk jail time, things will be different. Also consider that any purchases of anything from Russia would

Yeah - that seems to be about Russia being a state sponsor of terrorism (e.g. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20221118IP... ) But what I would like to see is a situation where companies payin

So, are they terrorists you say? Well, then. Classify them as such. => Any funding of them is now funding of terrorism. Including paying tax in Russia. Which means any and all companies doing business in and with Russia, and the individu

1. The people who are possible users of something like this are already on Twitter. The target audience is not all of Facebook, so not 10x. 2. I have seen data that can be used to argue Twitter is slipping. But to claim Twitter is dying is

I don't get this at all. To me it seems like it will obviously fail. 1. Twitter is all about who is there. How will they make people start posting on this? 2. New platforms take off because they innovate, not because they do what other

Yeah - it's weird they don't say it. Assuming it's batteries though, since the company makes battery electric cars.

I agree with many comments here but especially with this - the domains these alien artefacts touch are the things that makes them so tricky. Nonlinear optimization is one such area I work with regularly. It seems there is an analogy to pyth

Disrupting lithium for batteries is like disrupting silicon for transistors - sure there are niches and areas where other things, like silicon carbide or gallium can be used! But to any one trying to pour money into something competing with

Things are moving so fast in this space I felt like I needed a [March] in the title on this one :)

Reading through the comments here, and in the ton of similar threads on this subject, I feel I must be such an outlier... For me there are different tasks and different days. Some days I want uninterrupted flow. But some days I feel more pr

Long term we should all be worried. Or hopeful? It is unclear to me if it is a blessing or a curse to have what one loves doing revolutionized... I am actually leaning towards blessing. At least if the goal of programming is passion for bui

That was my thought too. The outsourcing teams that aid in development require specifications and documentation. "Code factories" feels like a target for LLM-replacement. Perhaps there's a startup idea here: identify the way

Nice! That looks great!, didn't know about it. The hardline opposition to adding hevc etc support to rtmp came from ffmpeg+gstreamer afaik, and from the document it looks like at least ffmpeg is on board. ...Might have to brush off our

by Torkel 4y ago
A "fun" thing here is that it isn't possible to create or open these streams in ffmpeg due to neither hevc or AV1 being part of the Adobe RTMP standard. At least as per this thread: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/tic

Yeah, the acronym is very far fetched… But at least the algorithm and how they got to it seems dope.

Interesting in a ”the russians used a pencil” way, but the text confused me by talking about hydrogen _leaks_ being detected this way. Surely brooms can only indicate hydrogen _flames_.

Teleoperation in VR makes a lot of sense for some applications. E.g. when you want stereo vision for relative positioning. Here’s the same thing but for timber loading: https://www.hiab.com/en/digital-solutions/hiv

”Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity”… Does anything happen to gas in a pipeline that makes pressure increase? Could it be a lack of or poor monitoring of pressure that caused it?
