The visual feedback sounds very much like the strobe feature on my guitar tuner. I think the first like this was the Stroboconn in the 1930s.

There’s a neuro-linguistic programming technique you can try to get rid of an earworm.

Picture a radio playing the song and imagine yourself slowly turning down the volume and the song getting quieter until it has gone.

This used to work for me but over time I’ve had to extend it with imagining switching the radio off at the end, unplugging it, and chucking it out the window so it smashes on the ground so no chance of it turning back on!

Great idea and congrats on launching v2.

Do you have to certify compliance with safety / EMC regulations to sell a product like this? The thought of that always put me off imagining a hardware startup.

NASA.gov has multiple pages on lift. Maybe one will explain it accurately.

Perhaps small enough to include in ffmpeg itself so you can just write commands `ffmpeg do this thing I want`.

Now I say this, it seems like there should already be a shell that is also an LLM where you can mix bits of commands you vaguely remember and natural language a bit like Del Boy speaking French...

Do you have a source for that fact?

The ARM based Acorn Risc PC [1] from mid 90s had a case with up to 7 stackable slices. It made the internal volume larger and you installed a longer backplane for expansion cards.

Someone built a pizza oven in one of the slices [2]

Apple iCloud does it all seamlessly (depending how large your files are) https://www.apple.com/uk/icloud/

Also capture the audio sample from the same record alongside the video. Repeat with lots of records. Train a model to predict the audio from the video. Voila! Play records with just the camera “stylus”...

If you’re using Chrome you can get some insight by opening chrome://webrtc-internals in another tab.

There is some documentation here https://testrtc.com/webrtc-internals-documentation/ and while trying to remember that link I just came across https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/analyzertc-visuali... which looks promising to make the internals data more usable.

Some original telegraph submarine cables were just dragged up the beach, buried a little, then then ends cut and wired up in a tiny concrete hut at the end of the beach. Do an image search for “Porthcurno cable hut” and read about it at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porthcurno

Being of a certain age and in the UK, I was disappointed to find this is not an 18 line Top Of The Pops generator... :)

Even if you can calculate the layout for a very large DAG in a reasonable time, the zooming and scrolling required as a user to make sense of it and follow interesting paths makes it unwieldy in my experience. One approach to use with very large DAGs is to interactively expand / collapse nodes - for a simple tree example imagine something like a treeview control for browsing a file system, expanding folders of interest to drill down rather than viewing all expanded. For non-tree DAGs you need the layout algorithm and you might need to automatically collapse unrelated sections as you expand nodes along a path to keep the time reasonable.

This approach can be combined with lazy loading data as you expand a node as another performance enhancement.

With some effort you can add this interactivity to vis.js or d3. I have previously used a commercial product called KeyLines [1] which has this feature, uses WebGL to run the layout in gpu.

This would be a nice alias for the usual 'apply' command in desired state configuration type systems...

Are the cell sharing extensions mentioned in the slides open sourced? (Sorry if it says either way in the video, I didn't get chance to watch it in full yet). Lack of sharing / collaboration extensions for Jupyter Notebooks / Lab are still a weak point I think.

Great article. Reminds me of Damian Conway's great conference talk on giving tech presentations - that one changed my approach on preparing for talks forever. https://youtu.be/W_i_DrWic88 and http://damian.conway.org/IBP.pdf are the notes. Well worth watching.

Indeed. As well as the globalisation aspect, I found the political vs economic point interesting. As the BBC article ends:

"Rather than a story of how people were competing - how do I make a faster T-shirt, a better T-shirt, a cheaper T-shirt - what I found is that the story of the T-shirt and why its life turned out the way it did was really about how people were using political power," she says. The current backlash against global trade is a direct result of this kind of political interference, she believes.

London just "filters" lower incomes out completely...
