I'm observing that developers these days are quite surprised to see anyone write code for OpenGL / WebGL directly instead of using some layer of abstraction on top, such as Three.js or Unity etc. Few seem to know that OpenGL alrea

Interesting bits about pulsed LiDAR. Is there any camera available to buy on the market that uses this technology?
124.
by rsp1984 4y ago
Nope. Structured light is projecting a geometric pattern into the scene and viewing it from from a camera that's offset by some amount vs. the projector. The original Kinect works this way.

by rsp1984 4y ago
This is not a "true" LiDAR in the classical sense (where you send out a laser beam and measure time passed until return). It's rather an indirect ToF sensor that uses modulated light bursts that flood the entire scene. This a

Unfortunately not everything compresses well with QOI. I have considered using it for our company but then did some tests with real images from real (noisy, low-res) cameras. The result is that in many cases QOI did not offer much compressi

Big thank you to the authors. What a fantastic resource. It's very refreshing to see these concepts broken down in short and concise language, packed with information and no BS.

I definitely need to use Monterey, as it offers simple APIs for certain tasks that would be possible, but very time consuming, to recreate on other OS. The M1 is optional, theoretically, but in practice makes things go much faster due to it

Thanks! On the macOS side, you would need an application (in whatever language you prefer), that pulls events on Pub/Sub topic, I assume there's an easy way for my server to talk to Google Cloud's pub/sub?

Does the operation requiring macOS needs to be synchronous & instant or can it be asynchronous and respond within a few seconds/minutes? There would be an instant response as some kind of receipt confirmation, but the actual resu

Ok, so how is this remotely the same as PCs being cheaper? Well because to some people this matters a great deal. Why? Because much of the power held by large companies (and by governments) comes from the fact that they operate and control

Interesting that Svelte hasn't come up yet. Personally I find it to be the only sane web framework out there. Easy to learn, little boilerplate code, very well structured, very fast. Give it a try!

Frankly, if comfortable with large risk, I would be looking at crypto, specifically ETH, SOL, ADA and maybe some meme-coins. I don't think any public stock market funds offer that kind of risk/reward at the moment for the speculat

I have no proof but a strong gut feeling the root cause of this is broken OpenGL drivers. Here's why: Over the past several months we've been very busy porting our Android- and Windows-based 3D Capturing app to iOS. We have quite
