Smart TVs, TV sticks, and a lot of mobile devices will not be capable of decoding AV1 in software in realtime, given their low-spec CPUs. I imagine that Netflix is only serving AV1 to devices with hardware decoding support.

Live translation is a well solved problem by this point — the translation will update as it goes, so while you may have a mistranslation visible during the sentence, it will correct when the last word is spoken. The user does need to have a

I have the G1 glasses and unfortunately the microphones are terrible, so the live translation feature barely works. Even if you sit in a quiet room and try to make conditions perfect, the accuracy of transcription is very low. If you try to

This seems like the solution getting ahead of the problem. A series of API requests over HTTP can easily use a persistent connection and will practically default to that with modern client and server implementations. A claim that a more com

Yeah. My bad. I got annoyed by the "is broken" terminology of TFA and wasn't thinking clearly :/

While you can sometimes elide the return type (and what you describe only happens in closures — `|| { 0u32 }` is the same as `|| -> u32 { 0u32 }` — methods and free functions must always have an explicitly declared return type), that&#x2

Because it doesn't know if you're relying on T being Clone in method bodies. The internal behavior of methods is not encoded in the type system.

by jhugo 1y ago
Types don't carry behavioral information about what the method does internally. Everything about a method is known from its signature. The compiler doesn't introspect the code inside the method and add additional hidden informatio

Population density is pretty high in many European inner cities. Most of the cell sites around here are on top of apartment buildings and I doubt they have a genset. Here in central BCN the mobile network was completely offline within an ho

“Closed off” means “restricted access to”. It doesn’t mean “closed”. I have no idea what restrictions the parent was referring to, but they weren’t saying that the stock market shut down.

Hmm, I think you may have just not been paying attention? There was the Superjet that crashed and burned at Lukhovitsy just a few months ago, the A320 that ran out of fuel and landed in the field near Novosibirsk a year ago, the AN26 that c

The comment you replied to says that they can’t meet demand due to insufficient supply (due to grounded aircraft). Very high occupancy is consistent with that. If Delta suddenly had half as many aircraft they would always be full too.

That’s not evidence for the assertion you made.

The assumption that it was related to insufficient investment isn’t supported by any evidence. Flawed technical decisions can be made by the most expensive engineers too.
