Opus is one of those codecs. Older codecs like g711 have better latency and steady bitrate, but they compress terribly. (Essentially just bandwidth and amplitude remapping). Opus is great for a lot of things and realtime speech over sip o

I think you might be able to compress I and P frames somewhat descent, this way. But you only seem to address spatial domain, except for deltas(?) Or do you have some way to apply bloom filters to motion estimation as well?

Fair enough. I guess so I was saying, is that US might have been a signatory. In spirit, US has often advocated for applying rules of international humanitarian law where appropriate. Treaties like NATO, NAFTA, or various "coalitions

Still, US was instrumental in a couple of cases. Supplying evidence against and apprehending suspects in case of ex Yugoslavian culprits and one or two African dictators, but I could be wrong... The 2002 withdrawal was clearly to sidestep p

This is a genuine concern, especially now that managers discovered that "llm assistence 10x-es developer productivity" . (Where kLoCs are a measure of productivity and a world with more code is an obvious, axiomatic good).

Nice. Nitpick: Your 6502 is missing decimal mode (bcd) addition/subtraction. Also, consider cycle counting for accurate emulation use.

Show me a manager that can realistically gauge productivity first, and I'd be happy to consider having this type of argument. Otherwise, I'll stick to developing software in a small company where my boss trusts me to get the job d

I'm not a lawyer and I think you're right about the website's responsibility. It might be a bit more murky to assess whether the user agent is abusing the website (OMG, piracy!) if it looks beyond the modal cookie pop-up bypa

Great point! Yes! And this is how (most) of traditional podcast ads work as well. You know, the ads that actually guide you to interesting products. One thing to note, though, is that tracking is also used by the bean counters. Pre intern

Is uBlock Origin simply suppressing the pop ups / cookie banners or does it have similar logic as DDG to auto select the most privacy friendly option? (Not sure if this actually matters in practice, but I'm sure lawyers would have

From the website's tracking/ads/monetization perspective GDPR is a diabolic dilemma: * no tracking: no money * tracking without consent: GDPR fine * tracking with manually clicked user consent: adds friction, nudges users to

Extrapolation is dangerous. People tend to overestimate what's possible in a year while underestimating the possibilities next decade. So far we're mostly seeing huge investments hoping for a short term goals while we're not

There definitely was an era of compute surplus — compute being a solution in search of a problem. I think the recent crypto hype (bitcoin, NFTs) can (at least partially) be attributed to the same issue. For sure, once the LLM hype diminis

Call me old-fashioned, but I'm happy poking in MP4 files using vbindiff when necessary. Fast and works great over terminal too.

Thank you for pointing this out. It's a good start, but I was looking for a deeper answer. So please help me understand why the people I work for are making shitloads of money? Why is Twitter worth $ 44b? Asking why here is mostly mean

While I'm reluctant to admit ever being influenced by a commercial, I looks like ads are playing a role in all this consumerism. And while personally I don't own a car, don't fly, work on a 5 year old desktop computer, old

Well, framing it as compression I would like to suggest this commercial falls in the lossy compression category. (And I don't consider myself an audiophile.)

My worry with large code bases is not so much about performance, or bloat. It's: bugs. One of the first lessons I learned same 30 years ago in CS class was that invariably you'll find at least 3 bugs/kloc, regardless of where
