I remember similar observations for an earlier use case in computer vision, loop closure and place recognition for visual SLAM algorithms. In this case the goal was to find a needl…

I agree with everything you're saying, but if you consider that this is a single-person company, the "hardware is as hard as you make it" statement makes sense. He saw a need, foun…

I think "hardware is as hard as you make it" would've been a better title. The author made the smart decision of keeping things very simple on the hardware side, and that happened …

Yeah, I think a lot of the "hardness" of hardware is of a different flavor than software. The author mentions how many lines of code are in the software, but that really is more of…

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 …

Very cool work - refreshing to see a of different approach. I learned about Kuramoto oscillators many years ago from a book called Sync, by Steven Strogatz, which I highly recommen…

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…

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 …

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…

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 b…

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.…

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 a…

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 q…

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 L…

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 (heav…

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 t…

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 compre…

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 l…

"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…
