nonathlon posted:The fan boys for ogg were incredible: criticising devices for not using it, kramering into discussions to insist you use a "free audio format". I seem to recollect that even Wikipedia was moving towards ogg. Your attempted own is very misguided. OGG files are widely used in video game development, free formats certainly serve a purpose. Having to deal with licensing entities isn't fun and pretty much always makes the end product worse. And OGG compresses better than MP3 for example. Also, to the audiophile, FLAC is the format of choice, not a compressed format like OGG. Fame Douglas fucked around with this message at 10:09 on Sep 18, 2020 |

KozmoNaut posted:The new hotness lossy format is its successor format Opus, which can reach impressively low bit rates without audible defects. Youtube has been using it for ages. Opus is excellent for voice transmission at low bitrates as well, which is why it's often implemented in telephony/voice chat/meeting solutions.

nonathlon posted:Yeah, despite all the listening tests and arguments about bitrates and formats, at a high-enough bitrate most everything sounds equally good and transcodes well under real listening conditions. At the gym or in your car, you'd be hard up to recognise FLAC vs MP£ vs whatever. Ripping to a lossless format like FLAC is the smartest, though. Storage space is cheap, and from that one, you can always convert to a lossy format.

Owling Howl posted:Still amusingly over-engineered for 0.85 miles or what amounts to a 20 min. walk. Imagine an airport opting for tunnels, cars, stations etc. instead of rolling sidewalks. Or any of the other existing people mover systems that don't have the liability of a lithium battery that could burn on board because they get fed with electricity directly. And I can't imagine the long-term operating costs of this system are competitive in any way.

luxury handset posted:the las vegas convention center has a particular set of challenges and incentives that aren't present in public transportation That's not actually an "unique challenge" at all and very much the type of situation people mover systems like APM are designed for. Using batteries in tunnels on fixed guideways isn't some kind of genius new idea but pretty stupid. luxury handset posted:for incentives, they are much more attracted to some kind of flashy gimmick system. it doesn't need to be practical if it can be a unique experience. so raw throughput doesn't matter as much as leaving a neat impression. convention centers also compete for business among each other, and having a tesla-branded subway thing is a pretty big hook to continue to attract the business of the lucrative consumer electronics expo and other similar tech-adjacent conventions A bad people mover system that's not ADA compliant seems more like a disincentive to me, but what do I know.

Unless you consider "space colonization" to mean "3 scientist on some station a long way from earth" then no, space colonization is absolutely not within our grasp technologically. Especially not useful space colonization. Space nerds have tons of dumb ideas that are impractical is the point. Space exploration is a huge waste of resources.

Space Gopher posted:You probably have lots of automation in your home. Thermostats, garage door openers, dishwashers, and even self-closing spring hinges are “home automation” in some sense. It’s just that when a particular piece of automation is really useful and relatively cheap, it stops being “home automation technology” and starts being part of the baseline for what we expect in a home. Home automation usually refers to internet-connected "IoT" devices, not offline thermostats.

It's a dumb idea in general. Why are you in a voice chat where people are constantly being racist, want to keep being in that voice chat but don't want to hear the "bad words"? Is the idea that the words themselves are the problem and not the racism, and these are fine people if you just bleep them?

HootTheOwl posted:Parents? Parent installing a voice chat word filter on their children's PCs so "bad words" get filtered out? Sorry, but that's still really dumb. The words themselves aren't the issue, bleeping them really helps nothing. Stop your children from joining public voice chat if you don't want them to hear "bad words". Racism is the problem, not individual words that can be filtered to make everything alright. I also doubt this filter would ever work reliably enough.

Beelzebufo posted:Isn't the IPFS its own torrent/decentralized thing where you have to pay money to maintain hosting? Curious how many NFTs already link to dead files because all the "seeds" went away. IPFS is something like Torrent, you need someone to host/seed the file, but that could be yourself. The concept of a "digital original" is moronic/impossible, and for buying something from an artist there are tons of ways that don't involve stupid tokens.

Also, in this case, only the json file is on the IPFS (which you can't change, as that would change the hash), the garbage art Beeple tricked some rube into buying is just on a regular server by Makersplace, so you're dependent on Makersplace still existing and hosting the file in the future for the token to have any "worth"

suck my woke dick posted:I suspect it's 500 for the kind of lidar you put on a fancy Arduino project, 5k for the kind that's semi reliable getting rained on and rattled around as an automotive part? The $500 figure comes from a company advertising a new, cheaper LIDAR system for cars. No clue how many of those units you'd need and whether it is already available as a commercial product. With a 120° FoV, that would be ~$1500 for full coverage, if that is even necessary.
