The World Cup is broadcast in many different languages with the same video feed. That’s likely one of the main reasons audio fingerprinting is better than video. You also get better idea of the target demographics language preferences and t

either way, maybe a portent for the times. apple’s secrecy agenda has been defeated to an extent by the practicalities of ubiquitous technology?

Chaos theory and all but my career in tech doesn’t happen without haxor economist. My Econ major collided with it somehow and a year later ended up with a CS degree.

I was thinking more like interactive content. Do you remember when VH1 had a pop-up music video show? Shows could synchronize additional content that’d be visible when Shazam mode enabled.

Perhaps obviously this is the same technique that enables ACR on TVs. It occurs to me that Shazam has such a better reputation online because the intent and consent of the user is honored. It makes me wonder if there couldn’t be an implemen

This is likely the first time I wish a page requested GPS sensor permission. It would make the visualizations even more compelling.

it’s the claim of it being a file system that’s throwing me. obviously nbd but maybe my mental models broken again.

> Satellite TV uses a file system called an MPEG transport stream that allows multiple audio, video, or data layers to be packaged into a single stream file. Interesting read but that part really made me question my own sanity. It’s prob

So much of the Internet is pay-walled now. It’s sad. It never occurred to me we’d get here.

There’s no bottom to this line of reasoning, however. One can always suppose the identified individual is a double, triple, quadruple agent.

One theory I saw argued the punch card size was the reason for 80x24. But why were punch cards that size? They were designed off of the cards used for the census. Why were the census cards that size? Because they were modeled after the do

Thanks for doing the detective work for your friends on mobile. This fact severely diminishes the message of this medium. I’ll check for myself later; but until then, I will hope it leverages the techniques it describes.

The work of democracy does not require action. If you don’t respond to this comment, I’ll assume you agree.

There are more telecommunication lines now than ever. We’ve just gotten really good at organizing them?

80 x 24 is the original teletype size. Personal preference are tautological.

The report covers the time period between April 2024 and March 2025. It seems illogical to me to put the blame entirely on one administration.
