Honestly, I'm really disappointed with Apple for pro use lately. 1) not testing stuff thoroughly - the i9 mbpro overheating saga ("fixed" by firmware upgrade), this T2 usb2 dropout (which probably isn't fixable at all) -

Looks amazing. Makes me want to move back to Helsinki seeing all the new development

yeah, I would probably buy one. But perhaps most people don't feel like they need a dslr since phone cameras are getting so good, and dslr's are quite large and heavy. With a full frame sensor your glass is going to be large/

Samsung's Galaxy NX range ran Android but failed to gain mass adoption. I think there is a niche market for this and hope someone else takes it up - apparently Yongnuo has one coming.

I think slowly they will get there with phones. Camera arrays with 3-5 sensors will be common on phones in 1-2 years. That way you get to keep lens sizes very small, but your effective sensor size is quite large, and you can do a lot of oth

They do, but on their higher end video cameras (Sony FS range, Canon C200). They could easily do it on normal dSLR's but have chosen not to. However, you can get very good cinema cameras for not very much money from Blackmagic that s

You don't need to have your own matrix server, just create a room on matrix.org, takes seconds. Try https://riot.im/app

Yes, IRC in the 90s was amazing. I think Reddit captures some of that, Twitter not so much. Matrix/Riot is cool (the redesign just launched - https://riot.im/app ) and has the same concept as IRC of a universe of chat

Sounds pretty good but exhibits the same artifacts/phasing that I've heard with other source separation. Good for forensics etc but I wouldn't use this for music production

It isn't looking great for pistachio cultivation in Iran either - https://phys.org/news/2016-09-iran-pistachio-farms-dying-thi... We have more frequent droughts in many parts of the world as a result of climate ch

yes, this is an active area of study. You could check out https://people.xiph.org/~jm/demo/rnnoise/

This is trained on monte carlo based rendering noise, and optionally uses additional available rendering data like albedo and normal passes. So while the idea of using deep learning for noise reduction in general works, this codebase in par

I really like what they are doing, but they have been working on it for 4 years and have no users. The camera costs 6000 euros and has no internal recording capability.

I remember this, very cool. His team at Google is really at the forefront of computational photography (HDR+, Halide, lightfield photography). Kari Pulli from Nokia also did some very cool stuff on array cameras/computational photograp

Not directly that but there are companies working on optical computing for machine learning https://www.optalysys.com http://www.lighton.io

This is why we need open source cameras - so people don't need to spend 6 years reverse engineering and still not getting much out of it

Nice. It's hard to invent new meaningful, playable acoustic instruments. Respect to anyone who does. Another one I really like is the Array Mbira, up to 7 octave chromatic Mbiras with stereo pickups. https://www.arraymbira.c

It feels like humans lack the capacity to optimise for success beyond reproduction and acquiring power, especially at large scales and timelines. Maybe there is a non-technological solution to this - new ways of organising that enforces bet

having a tethered computer/SoC is a pretty obvious choice, given you can't shrink it to fit inside the frame. Doubt that's patentable

While you can certainly keep increasing the monetary supply, I wouldn't say debt is irrelevant - the costs of servicing that debt will start getting high for the US. Debasing your currency is one way to erode that debt but it will come

I don't think tubes will help much for synthesising a trumpet. You can get pretty good results with physical modeling, though. https://youtu.be/nRkT2PyH3kg

I don't think CME is the reason prices have plummeted... My hypothesis is that there was no particular reason for the crash except simply lack of new buyers (everyone and their dog already heard about crypto), and lots of people sellin

Invision is great for quick clickthroughs, and commenting on specific parts of designs. But for handover of Sketch designs, I think Figma works the best - it's cross platform and opens Sketch files well.

I think it's a pretty good product, and has grown fast (hence the valuation) but they really need to improve the core product. It's got too many bugs and feels like it's had zero effort in the past 1-2 years. Sketch and Figma

I don't use instagram or twitter much and I don't really get it. For me the best interactions on the internet have been forums, reddit and IRC back in the day

Qt was used on unity8. But it didn't (at that time, and probably not now either) have a comparable UI component library to MacOS (or iOS). I know, because we made one from scratch - which wasn't a great idea either. Flutter would
