Jurgen Schmidhuber has similar ideas - "History of science is the history of compression progress" https://youtu.be/3FIo6evmweo?t=1537 and (quoted in the paper) http://people.idsia.ch/~juergen&#x2F

ok, so 30k satellites from SpaceX, 60k from OneWeb. I anticipate this is just the beginning, other US companies and other countries will want to launch similar amounts. What will the impact be when there are 500k+ satellites in LEO, who de

Lump-sum tax only applies to foreigners, not Swiss nationals. Swiss wealth tax might be somewhat leaky, but still accounts for a non-trivial amount of tax revenue. https://voxeu.org/article/wealth-taxation-swiss-experie

Yep, I wouldn't buy farmed fish from Asia.

by dharma1 6y ago
Some farmed fish (like tilapia) can live on a variety of things, including soy and corn pellets. Algae, which can be used for many things - human consumption, farmed animal/fish feed and even fuel - can also be farmed sustainably. I th

Japanese camera companies are really bad at cloud software - Sony Playmemories probably the worst offender. Also the in-camera "mini-apps" tend to be terrible. They make good hardware but horrible software. They should really buy

looks like our chinese friends already have the motors, ESC's and so on ready to buy, and there is open source software - so the project thankfully becomes more an assembly exercise, similar to building drones

there are a ton of phone mounts on amazon, it depends on where you need the phone. the desk clamp+goose neck ones are quite versatile, sometimes a simple phone stand like this is ok https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07DHH95V

Anecdote - I had a small amount of money invested in SME lending through an online p2p lending platform since last year (UK). Not super high interest rates, about 6-8%, all "AAA" rated businesses. Before covid, default rates were

We may only be halfway, one third or less into this pandemic. I really hope that 1) the early vaccines will work 2) other mitigation strategies (masks, social distancing, quick tests at scale etc) will succeed in keeping R under 1 and small

by dharma1 6y ago
I don't think the iPhone HEIF is 14/16bit. And I'm not sure a single shot on a sensor that small has that much dynamic range anyway, so you'd still want HDR+ style multiple exposures. Just wish the end result wasn't

Yep. But you can do a lot more post-processing to bring all that latitude back to 8/10bit color space, than if you start with a 8bit jpeg. Same as when shooting high bit depth raw files

"HDR images can be challenging to edit, because some decisions are effectively baked into the final JPG. To maximize latitude for editing, it’s possible to save RAW images for each shot (an option in the app). However, this process tak
