They are simpler and can be read by more devices, especially legacy devices that are still pretty widely deployed. Other than that, not much to say in their favor. They have lower data density compared to 2D codes such…
There's also git-annex and iterative DVC. I used xethub a fair bit (was the earliest user, in fact) and I thought it was better than git annex, git-lfs and DVC, but still did start to struggle past a certain size. I…
Of course it can. Is it good at it? I guess we'll find out, for sure people will try (I might if I get some spare time). At a glance some of the tech used resembles that of xethub (of which I was a user, until they got…
Yeah, that's the main challenge in research. Once you get immersed in an area, it's not that hard to come up with ideas that haven't been done before. It's also not that hard to do things that improve the performance of…
QOI supports a VERY limited set of use cases compared to jpegXL.
Seems like there's some overlap with the iceoryx project https://iceoryx.io/
Not a bad idea, seems like data that would be be easy to monetize if it took off.
I usually feel the same when starting something new. The "STUFF" is annoying and often feels like overkill when a project is new and minimal. Installing/building ROS, the package boilerplate, etc. And often I can get…
Yes, we were on the starter $6 plan. The feature we got messaged about was SSH management, iirc.
I think how it works usually is that they let you use the features from higher tier plans than the one you're on; once you use them enough they send you an email asking to upgrade. That's what happened to us and I've…
Yeah, they're not direct replacements. I think both models have have their pros and cons. In fact I tried both around when covid shutdowns started (server being in the office, me at home), and liked zerotier better; it…
Our company pays for the premium business plan, $18/mo/user. You have to pay for at least the lower tier plan once your team grows beyond a handful of people. And there's several quite useful features (though maybe not…
About 5-6 years ago, I worked a fair bit on an iOS app, primarily in swift (there were some obj-c and C++ bits). Until then, 90% of what I had written was either C++ or python on Linux, and I had never worked on a…
This is neat! It's a bit amusing in that I worked on a somewhat similar project for my phd thesis almost 10 years ago, although in that case we got it working on a real drone (heavily customized, based on DJI matrice)…
I preordered the hardware version sometime before it was released. At a $50 price point, I thought it was worth a gamble. I wasn't disappointed! It's more of a hacker's device at the moment - for better or worse - but…
PNGs of screenshots would probably compress well, and the quality to size ratio would definitely be better than JPG, but the size would likely still be larger than a heavily compressed JPG. And PNG encoding/decoding is…
Yup, when reading this I immediately thought of jsmpeg, which I'm fond of.
About eight years ago I was trying to stream several videos of a drone over the internet for remote product demos. Since we were talking to customers while the demo happened, the latency needed to be less than a few…
"worth the money" is hard to say, especially for devices like these where the value is not really so much on the plain features as much as a more subjective factors like the design and the UI. I would say that purely…
There's a fun podcast by Arman Bohn/Distropolis (who himself has made some cool small-batch hardware synths) where he interviews makers of small hardware synths, https://open.spotify.com/show/30USGHPeGQ9ZyWQDyRnfcv…
were you using single cycle waveforms or longer samples? in the former case, I guess there's not much to it, you just cycle through the waveform (in which case the waveform you choose would usually start and end at a…
Whenever I feel like doing that I just use "uv pip" and pretty much do the same things I'd do when using pip to messily install things in a typical virtual environment.
There's definitely a "rich get richer" effect for academic papers. A highly cited paper becomes a "landmark paper" that people are more likely to read, and hence cite - but also, at a certain point it can also become a…
Ah, so that's why the camera seemed familiar, I have a couple of the luxonis cameras around the office :). Re: kiwi, those are good points. Thank you for the answer!
Hi, I am currently considering a Lekiwi build but I am intrigued by Mars. Outside of the need for external compute, what issues did you find with SO101 and Kiwi? Also I am curious about a couple of the parts, if you…
