Cool thing is you don't need very good recording gear, "inexpensive gear, used well" can do wonders. I agree those sounds are great, and I even (had) about an hour of them too, to share! but they're inaccessible right

Everything delgaudm said 100% Plus, if you post the specifics of what equipment you have, and if you're willing to spend a lil bit of money, I'm sure this comment section will be full of audio people happy to help. (including me)

Speaking from experience, no it's not. At least, the work is easy to pivot into, but finding the work is .... NOT. Once you find a good one though, it's OH so much more rewarding than office work, for some people at least (in

Technically, yes, it can interop with AVB. Might require budget though.

Then I look forward to our future friendly rivalry, and topping all quantitative benchmarks. ;-) (I'm not going after exactly your space, though maybe a superset of it)

> Upwork Might be your problem. You're not going to find anyone serious there -- you get what you pay for. A site that charges the consultant instead of the client isn't exactly gonna attract even average level talent.

I think it might depend on if you're entry level or more senior. (just a guess) Though, in my own personal experience, I've observed the exact opposite as you with regards to geography :) I'm from the USA, and am "one o

You're entirely right! And points out the blind spot that I've used it much more as a library in tools I build/use than integrated with other things. Never used brtfs, I'm assuming it uses zstd internally for something

Open source it, so I can see if it's a good home for some of MY ideas in a lowest-possible-latency audio over lossy network R&D/code I've been half-ass building for a decade now. ;-) Though perhaps not, as I'm guess

Here's one: Way back in the day there were two games, Lightspeed and the followup Hyperspeed. You can find them online if you look hard enough, and still run them in an emulator. They were So. Frigging. Fun. The story is, humanity me

This looks super cool! There's a need for tools to make the millions of videos on the web actually useful for people like me who would much rather skim search and read than watch. Bravo to you for making a stab at it! I'm guess

Thanks so much for your comment! I learned a thing! I (apparently) read that way (global reading method), I don't know any other way to read, and I wasn't sure it was anything unusual. My parents didn't do anything special

Agree. Would love to see some text even explaining what this is or why it's supposed to help. I just see a git repo with no explanation...

Not just you. I don't get the point of this either. I'm guessing it has something to do with your existing reading method? My eyes naturally jump to the first letters and tallest/round characters when determining the shape

That's a beautiful link, thanks for that. I'm probably missing something obvious, but could it be done by using a larger number of inexpensive setups? There's no reason that each camera has to be focused on the same part of t

Really cool! I wonder if this could be combined with a digital micromirror and compressed sensing to inexpensively recover both spectral and spatial resolution. (see: "single pixel camera")

Amen to this. I've worked in enough exciting startups to know that having good, great, even amazing ideas are pretty easy compared to execution. I love great ideas, and great idea companies. But they're not hard. More valuable
