   Is that surprising? Seemed like a giant hack to me. Prompt engineering sure sounds better than hack though.

   I moved from Australia to the UK a few years ago. I never liked Vegemite very much before but find myself really enjoying Marmite. There's an off taste to Vegemite, like almost a strange medicinal flavour.

   It seems fairly obvious to me that no amount of improvement of the technology will make people accept that barrier. Even if every technical hurdle is solved I still firmly believe most people would rather not have a thing on their head and

   I don't think you understand. "Bad" behavior is one aspect of it but there are many others. Girls also have different symptoms (and are severely under diagnosed compared to boys). This is not a situation of excusing behavior

   JPEG XL would have been a much better choice for HDR photos on Android than the abomination that is UltraHDR.

   I don't think it was a dig at drum brakes but rather listing having read brakes as a safety feature.

   How's that reasonable? If it were possible they could have hosted the app on their own web site for next to nothing.

    Not really, half the battle with SDR video is tonemapping a high dynamic range to fit into SDR. That process is not artistic, it's a process on trying not to make it look bad.

    You can buy an OLED touchscreen monitor for $100? People that are happy with Frankenstein setups will always find a cheap way to replicate a product while ignoring all the downsides of a home grown replica.

    I don't see how things like real time lighting will be solved by this. That is one of the most important aspects of 3D rendering.

    Extremely unlikely. The types of GPUs these compete against don't cost a lot of money.

    Most of my use cases for stackiverflow end up being those lazy lookups because it's super quick. It's often much quicker than chatgpt for me to Google and click the first (or these days 8th) link

    A 10 year old smartphone would have taken a perfectly good photo in that scenario. There's nothing challenging about it.

    This seems very unlikely. The CPU is almost always bottlenecked by memory.

    I've lived in 3 flats across New Town and Stockbridge and every flat was horrible. I could hear the footsteps of people upstairs. Most flats have floorboards and they are not kind to the neighbors below. I'm not living in a flat e

    You don't need to do those things though. I'm almost 40, I like programming. I do it for fun in my own time. I've got couple of projects that earn around a 1/3 of my salary every month without doing too much more with th

    Thank you :) No I have not, it is likely not possible to do that anyway. MotionCam works fairly well because smartphones these days are very fast and have very fast storage. I imagine dedicated cameras are mostly made up of specialized hard

    > Does it mean they apply some kind of human perception model (like audio codecs apply a psychoacustic one) to determine what detail can be omitted without future viewers potentially noticing the difference? I have not looked into it too

    I am not a lawyer but I believe their patent is regarding visually lossless compression of RAW data. MotionCam uses a form of bit packing to compress frames in real time losslessly. AFAIK that is not the same thing and does not infringe on

    This is not true. We've compared RAW video from smartphone cameras to a couple of professional cameras and the difference is not as much as you might think.

    I'm the dev of MotionCam. AFAIK the app is not infringing on that patent because I use my own form of lossless compression.

    I'm the developer of MotionCam Pro. I have no affiliation with AMVR, it bothers me that they present themselves as somehow associated with me. As a side note, whenever Apple takes steps to release a feature aimed at professionals there

    I spent way too much time trying to make use of it with Halide and was not successful. Are you saying that this is now possible? I am the developer an app which would greatly benefit from it.

    For people that care about the quality of footage above anything else you can already record better quality footage with a $200 Android phone. You can record RAW video with an app I wrote (it's free for the raw video part of anyone car

    Have to disagree with this. Choosing a language is not just about its features but also its ecosystem. I chose Python for my current project because it has great libraries that don't exist in other languages.
