oenetan··on Genius Checklist

As for Tao, I think he was a smart kid who's parents just pushed him in the right direciton. If his parents weren't involved and he started math at a later age, I'm sure he would still be great, just not as prolific as he is right now.

So its a mix of genetics and experience in my opinion.

oenetan··on Genius Checklist

Yes, agreed to. There will always be top of the top people like Droge, Carmack, Bellard, Thompson, Torvalds, etc.. (you get the point) who's innate ability will far trample the average person no matter what. But i do think the average person can do better than average if they put their effort to it. Not everyone can be the best, but it doesn't mean you cant be good either.

I know 10x engineers and very smart people. I would say this guide is great and is a accurate reflection of how they got to be so great.

oenetan··on Browse the old web as it was, using emulated old web browsers and web archives

This is based on the v86 emulator which is a relatively feature complete emulator based on javascript: https://github.com/copy/v86

Not sure what the mac versions are using though.

oenetan··on FFmpeg for browser and Node, powered by WebAssembly

This is a great tool. I wish there was something like this for Gstreamer, as i use it more than ffmpeg.

FFMpeg and gst, and the external encoder libraries, contain alot of simd optimzied code.

Any benchmarks for how the ffmpeg wasm version compares to a ffmpeg native build in terms of decoding/encoding?

Also discussed here btw:
