It will be interesting to watch as they improve this process. I use Stitch Fix, and I don't feel like it's all that personalized. The problem is that as a consumer you don't see all the products they could have selected for

I think it's a recruiting tool, so they are okay if only the jargon is indecipherable by most readers. In fact, it's probably signalling to their targets that they are serious about machine learning.

Totally unsupported by examples, but it seems like the huge economic benefits will cause society to underestimate to risk of autonomous vehicles. We'll debate and distort the relative risk and provide plausible deniability for the righ

Scientific explanations are always incomplete and approximations of an objective reality. Yes all Science has to make fundamental assumptions to function, we all have to make assumptions to function in the real world. There are fewer fundam

It may be comforting to believe in something. That doesn't make it true. There is no evidence that any of the experiences people have that can't be explained are a result of supernatural causes.

Yes, in the long run maybe it reduces the amount of data sitting around in honeypots for both state and non-state actors, but I don't see much change this year (unless you see mass 'forget me' requests).

Sure it's shallow and ill considered, but it's also a not uncommon view among a large part of the population. While a pro NSA voice is not common here, providing lucid counter arguments would allow all of us to view the augments a

GBM tumors are super aggressive and there's no known cause. If you get diagnosed with a GBM your five year survival rate is 10%. Whatever the cause once the tumor gets started you have a months, not years before you know it.

So apple removes a part that costs less then a cent and gets you to purchase $180 headphones? I don't mean to be snarky, by having to swap adapters and no option from Apple to charge and use headphones at the same time irritates me. My

To me, the key innovation here is the tight integration between network conditions and codec frame size. Standard codecs are created with specific bandwidth requirements and they provide encoded frames that 'average' around that s

Right, they may have used VP8 because VP9 and HEVC are more CPU intensive and they could technically encode more frames per second than the input 60 FPS.

by mgamache 8y ago
Some is probably due the codec VP8 vs h264, but they are not wildly different in efficiency. WebRTC doesn't use VP9 or H.265 yet. I view the higher bandwidth used as an attempt to maximize quality at every bandwidth they just didn&#x27

you should easily get < 1 second latency from an RPi => Desktop over WiFi. Strangely it's usually the client's buffering that is the culprit.

most (all?) of the video codecs designed for low latency don't use b-frames for this reason.

For me, the 5ghz is really important. I work on products that only use the 5ghz (because of interference and crowding @ 2.4 ghz). Also, I am not en expert, but the chipset now used on the RPi will have an easier path to FCC approval? "

Well it's against the (Federal) law, right? And it's your job to enforce the law. Pot bans may not make sense, but it's tricky if you start openly ignoring a law. I mean it's not like they get people's personal data

I have a feeling they really mean Spinoza's God (like Einstein), but this use of 'God' causes confusion for a lot of readers. Some readers might think they are referring to the God of the Bible or Koran.

I guess India (and other countries) could issue crypto-currencies, but wouldn't that kind of defeat the purpose? Of course, states would add features to make the transactions traceable. Would anyone use them?
